Dear Jane’s

Offering nautical, retro-cool ambience and traditional seafood with a twist, this Marina del Rey follow-up to Culver City's Dear John's is worth the trek across the city. Highlights include the bougie fish sticks topped with caviar and an excellent trout amandine, but every old-school dish here shines. A few Dear John’s carryovers like sand dabs grenobloise and the chicken parm make an appearance, but the menu’s newer additions, as well as the cocktail offerings, more than do justice to the mid-century nostalgia dining trend sweeping the city.
