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.

    The service is unforgivable. I am done with the handheld digital devices that make it impossible for the waitstaff to look up from the screen. It took WAY too long for someone to come to take our order, and when they finally did, it was only for drinks. This woman stood next to our table for almost 10 minutes trying to punch in drink orders for 4 people. Are you kidding?! Write it down, and leave my table, and punch it in in the back. 30 min later, she returned for our food order. By now, we were all over it. and then we never saw her again. Instead we were attacked by overly aggressive busboys trying to take our food away, before we finished anything. STOP TRYING TO TAKE MY PLATE!!! We had to bark at them multiple times that we weren't finished. But then had to ask someone else for the bill. What is happening here? Why are there 300 busboys, and no servers?! For this price, along with the "just fine" food, it is unacceptable.

    Not a miss on our selections the whole night. Great raw, wedge salad, oysters, entrees, dessert, wine/cocktails and importantly—service.

    Sundays must have the “B” team with service. Food isn’t coursed out. At times, difficult to flag down a waiter. Food was good

    We loved our experience dining at Dear Jane in Marina Del Rey. Fresh seafood, cozy atmosphere with a large booth facing the marina, friendly staff even though we were the last seating of the evening.

    Dear Jane's was great! Had a guest visiting from out of town and we enjoyed dining there. The chopped salad was delicious with tasty but light dressing. Sand dabs were excellent as well- light lemony cream sauce. We also ordered a side of mushrooms, which were also tasty.

    The food is consistently good as well as fresh sourdough bread ,great seafood and good drinks. I have been there several times and it flows well when you have a oood waiter. Half the time the waiters don't come around even when the place is not busy. I focus on the people I came with enjoy the food and make the best of the wait staff situation. Yes would recommend this restaurant even though it is quite a drive for me!!

    The fish and chips and crab claws were outstanding. We were there and got served fairly late and the shrimp appetizer was not great. In fact, we had to send it back. But they were cool about it. We sat in the bar instead of taking our table in the main restaurant and it was lovely and moody like the original dear John’s. Would return for happy hour where they actually have a burger we used to get at Dear John‘s back in the day.
