• Steakhouse • Culver City
Booked 23 times today
In 1962, Johnny Harlowe made the jump from the silver screen to chef and owner of Dear John’s. Convinced by his pal Frank Sinatra, Johnny opened the iconic spot just a ways down from Sony Studios on Culver Blvd. It became the watering-hole for the Hollywood elite with Sinatra often in the corner playing the piano against the dark brick walls once lined with portraits of famous John’s. Seasoned chefs and entrepreneurs Hans Röckenwagner and Josiah Citrin have teamed up to re-open Dear John’s with an updated classic American menu and old-school cocktail list.

    The pasta n Chilean seabass was fantastic. The veal chop was a bit salty but maybe just my taste. Salad n bread also great - a reliable solid Italian restaurant in the neighborhood 👍

    After living in the Marina for 15 years, I was finally introduced to this gem of a neighborhood Italian place. Maybe it was supposed to be a local secret - oops! It was so good I brought a friend the next week! The bruschetta was incredible and they have a solid menu with all your favorites.

    It was the most authentic and delicious Yakitori/Japanese cuisine place I’ve visited in SoCal. They’re absolutely on par with the best Yakitori places in Tokyo, where I lived and worked for over 20 years. Their Yakitori skewers were expertly grilled, karaage fried to perfection, dashimaki tamago fluffy and full of flavor. Their attention to detail goes beyond the food. The plates they use, the food presentation, even the hot towel oshibori scented with a hinoki scent and the service of all their staff were such a delight. I live in San Diego but I will surely be back.
