"In case this Marina del Rey restaurant's glass wall with views of the boats outside didn't give it away, Dear Jane's celebrates the life aquatic with its focus on old school seafood and Continental cuisine. This spot pours it on with large portions and over-the-top flourishes (caviar makes a regular appearance) while keeping things grounded with strong cooking. Shrimp Louie, done tableside, is sized to share, as is the wedge, which brilliantly subs in vinaigrette in place of creamy dressing. Blackened salmon with a rich parsley and caper sauce is perfectly cooked, and lemony potatoes are a nice accompaniment.Signature cocktails riff on the famous Janes but will you choose Jetson, Goodall or Austen?" - Michelin Inspector
"An American restaurant in Marina del Rey celebrating seafood with large portions and a focus on Continental cuisine." - Kevin Chau
"A restaurant by Josiah Citrin that offers a nostalgic nod to the continental fish houses of the 1970s, located in Marina del Rey." - Michael He
"The side bar at Marina Del Rey’s Dear Jane’s has a similar 1960s throwback vibe to its Culver City sister restaurant Dear John’s. Head directly to the dimly lit, cherry wood-walled room with a brick fireplace, plush red velvet seating, and an old-school collection of paintings of women — a nod to the restaurant’s name. Sitting in the room with a classic martini and oysters Rockefeller might be the perfect move any night of the week." - Eater Staff
"“This is a great little spot along the Marina with a focus on traditional American seafood. Think Oysters Rockefeller, shrimp Louie, crab cakes, trout Amandine: the classics. It’s the sister restaurant to the old-school steakhouse Dear John’s, and it has a similarly nostalgic vibe. That chopped Shrimp Louie Salad that’s prepared tableside is really delicious and fun, and Dear Jane’s also has great views of the marina. We love to ride our bikes over and get a table by the window!”" - brennan carley
