Editorial Review for J Restaurant & Lounge – by Martha Burr
In Short
Located in the former Little J's club space--a past fave of Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson--this sprawling 25,000- square-foot venue includes an upscale casual restaurant, sexy lounge with a 30-foot bar and DJs music, sprawling patio with fire pit, cigar smoking section, VIP cabanas and L.A. skyline views. Chef Ryan McKay's (ex-L'Orangerie) menu features traditional American comfort fare, such as fried crab cakes, ahi tartare, grilled rib-eye steak, fish of the day and braised short ribs.

I had been to J's Lounge many times before and never before been treat as bad or discriminated against so much my whole adult life, specially when you are paying 350+ a bottle for cheap Vodka and booking a party for 30 on your BIRTHDAY MAY I ADD. I had talked to various host there, one named Alex who promised me a wonderful time when I said I was considering Hollywood instead of Downtown LA, I made a wrong choice, the service was below standards even for a small downtown bar, our server was slow and not very polite our table never got cleared of dirty glasses and we had to ask to get more chasers for our drinks. The worst part was when my husband got pushed out by the bathroom attendant when the small bathroom got over crowded and the rude man got frustrated when my husband didnt tip him for handing him one paper towel. The bouncers were beyong rude and we felt discriminated because we were neither white, asian or indian, which seems to be their crowd of choice. All in all without being bitter about it I am not going back to this place and I am spreading the word as much as I can that if you want a good time dont go to this wanna be upscale bar.

J-Lounge has a great brunch! I'd love to see more people there. It's a great view from the patio, as you sip the BOTTOMLESS mimosas (and they're not in the slightest bit stingy with the Champaign or overly watered down with too much OJ)! This is definetly an awesome place to stop in for a classy brunch without breaking the bank. Two of us left for under $40! If you live downtown, you must support this place.
Pros: Good menu with great prices!
Cons: Buffet a little limited, but still good. No salt & pepper on tables?
