J Restaurant & Lounge

Went to their opening last friday and it was amazing. I have been there other days prior and there was not a lot of people but I think once the word is out, it will get packed. Has the hollywood feel with out all the wanabe losers. Pros: Parking across the street, service was nice Cons: Slow service, pricey more

Checked this place out last Friday and loved the decor. The outside patio is huge and a great place to mingle and meet new people. The upstair bar and dance floor was also really nice. Bartenders were really friendly. Drink prices were about $10 which is typical Hollywood club prices. The dance floor upstairs is pretty roomy but the DJ was not that good at all. The place was pretty empty but the bartender told me that they havent started promoting yet. All in all, I had a good time and would recommend this place.\r Definitely an asset to the Downtown area and potential to be a downtown hotspot. Let's hope they dont start charging cover and become all pretentious like the Hollywood bars/clubs... Pros: Great decor, great service Cons: pricey drinks more

I enjoyed the new resturant and lounge in Downtown L.A. where I can just enjoy the good food and party all night long. I've never felt so great in my life once I went there and enjoyed all the good food at reasonable prices, the dancing to the music and enjoying the nighlife at city lights. This is a place to say, "" I would go every night with my girls for a girls' night out."" I highly recommend this place to anybody. I love L.A. Pros: great food, dancing, reasonable prices Cons: will get a little crowded when word gets out to everyone out there in L.A. and visitors who came on vacation. more

I have had the pleasure of getting a sneak peak at this brand new, up and coming restaurant and lounge and I can honestly say that I am waiting with baited breath for the anticipated opening. The decor is classy and stylish. The food and drinks are imaginative, delicious and reasonably priced. This place is just what downtown needs to get the area back on the map. I highly recommend the bartender's tasty concoctions including the specialty mojitos, margaritas and martinis. From the moment you enter J, you'll be amazed not only at the style of this sure-to-be hot spot, but by the spaciousness and warm atmosphere. Large plasma TV's adorn the walls of the VIP room, comfortable suede couches and retro-style ottoman's provide more than enough seating and an outdoor patio, complete with cabanas and a fire pit, allow for extra space, a casual atmosphere and the opportunity for inviting conversation. Although J has an air of classiness and style, it is anything but pretentious...welcoming young professionals and giving them a place to meet, enjoy great company as well as fantastic cuisine. J is surely to become the place to be in downtown! Pros: Great Tastes...Great Prices...Great Atmosphere! Cons: It may get very crowded as soon as the word spreads. more

I got to check the place out as a friend of a friend who had a pre-opening invite. If this place keeps this up they will quickly become a hot spot! I don't know if I want that to happen or not though! It's so hard to find a place that has great food and a hip and inviting atmosphere that doesn't have everyone flocking to it yet. The outdoor patio with firepit is just cool! Also once you see the VIP Cabana seats outside you'll make it a goal to get your butt in one! What I liked most is the fact taht I would check this place out whether it was just for the restaurant or just the lounge - they're both kicking in their own right. Pros: Really Good Food, Reasonable Prices, Great Ambiance Cons: How do you keep a good thing a secret? more
