What Dear John’s is to steak, Dear Jane’s will be to seafood. Seasoned chefs and entrepreneurs Hans Röckenwagner and Josiah Citrin have teamed up again for Dear Jane's. Taking full advantage of the stunning marina view, the focus is on classic American seafood dishes prepared simply with the highest-quality ingredients by seasoned chefs. From Oysters Rockefeller to Shrimp Louie, Surf ‘n Turf and Crepes Zuzette, the menu hews to those of some of the most legendary seafood restaurants of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It will feel familiar and upscale, yet updated and approachable.

This sensibility will be on full display with hand-mixed tartare, classic caviar service, and professionally fileted whole fish. The layout of the split-level room and spacing between booths and tables are ideal for this personalized service that is begging to come back in style in this dining room.

    Lack luster service, if even that. Came to celebrate a birthday and wasn’t acknowledged once. Service was poor and highly inattentive. Food was delicious. Sand dabs were lovely. Appreciate who I assume was a manager stepping in to assist with drink and wine ordering. However, for the price and atmosphere of a fine dining restaurant, service and hospitality were at a low. Will most likely not return.

    The food was very mediocre. The prices were high for low quality food. The mashed potatoes were gummy, and the fish was cold and the bread was burnt. They sat us out a table that didn’t have a server for 30 minutes. We requested a booth and they said that there have to be four people at a booth, but then sat two and three people at a booth and a half empty restaurant after we were seated.

    Everything was lovely, but the food. So average. The shrimp cocktail was lovely . The chopped salad was greasy and not chopped and small . The cioppino was a disaster . The scampi had shrimp, the size of a nickel . And let’s not get into the ridiculous, tiny, cocktails, and pours of wine . No cake for a birthday celebration. No thank you.

    The food was fantastic. The recorded music was too loud. That is easy to adjust.
