Jar Review

Jar offers everything you could hope for in a sophisticated American restaurant: a warm and relaxed setting, excellent service, and generous servings of reliably good comfort food. The braised Kurobuta pork shank and a Kobe-style filet of beef -- both perfectly cooked, simply seasoned -- are divinely flavorful. It was always chef Suzanne Tracht's dream to open a contemporary version of a 1940s-era chophouse, and you can tell that she's putting her best into every plate that leaves the kitchen. Everything she makes is a lesson in quality and simplicity. Among her most popular dishes are the Niman Ranch char sui pork chops and her coup de grâce -- a sensational pot roast with caramelized onions and carrots. An extensive wine list and martini menu are two good reasons to arrive early and stay for a nightcap at the beautiful Parisian-style bar. Tip: Suzanne's Sunday brunch is one of the best in the city; try the corn pancakes or the lobster Benedict.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
