In 1962, Johnny Harlowe made the jump from the silver screen to chef and owner of Dear John’s. Convinced by his pal Frank Sinatra, Johnny opened the iconic spot just a ways down from Sony Studios on Culver Blvd. It became the watering-hole for the Hollywood elite with Sinatra often in the corner playing the piano against the dark brick walls once lined with portraits of famous John’s. Seasoned chefs and entrepreneurs Hans Röckenwagner and Josiah Citrin have teamed up to re-open Dear John’s with an updated classic American menu and old-school cocktail list.

    I always love Lunetta. This particular night, a pair of people in the corner (indoors) was playing their phone on speaker and it was tinny and annoying but when we asked, they stopped. The 4 top next to us, celebrating a retirement, were having the kind of good time that can, with small distance between tables, distract us from our conversation. It ended up being OK, I actually had a fun conversation with them and we have some friends in common. But they did have pretty big voices and it was a little hard for us to hear each other, in fact my guest had to change seats so she could hear me better. Nevertheless Lunetta is my go-to for friends, family and others I like to impress.

    Great accommodations for a party of 10. If still in the menu try the lobster pasta or butter squash ravioli.

    Another spectacular meal at Gjelina. I've made it my mission to work my way through the menu, and last night I tried the orecchiette with beef cheek bolognese, Japanese turnip and coal-roasted cabbage - all excellent. Special props to the orecchiette. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was rich and savory and the addition of the dollop of ricotta bound all the elements together beautifully. Loved it.

    Yeah…please don’t let the rumors cause you to miss out on this place. The entire experience was AMAZING! Starting with the Parker rolls js the one thing you should guarantee, I’ll be thinking about them for weeks. We ordered the salmon, rolls, Brussels sprouts, burger, truffle fries and TWO orders of the Chicken and caviar. Also had their take on the old fashioned and a Paloma. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and the icing on the cake was the conversation with their customer experience manager. She solidified the visit for us and I cannot wait to go back!
