"It’s 7pm, you just slid into a bar seat at Jones, and a gin martini and an order of fried calamari are on their way out. If there’s a more beautiful sentence in the English language, we don’t know it. This dark, sexy Italian spot has held court in West Hollywood for three decades and remains what we refer to as an ace restaurant: A place you can take anyone for any occasion and have a great time. Nights here aren’t necessarily about red sauce pasta and other nostalgic dishes—though their skillet apple pie is the stuff of legend—it’s about basking in a place that exudes the essence of what makes Hollywood cool in the first place." - brant cox, garrett snyder, jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins, cathy park
