Jane Q

Jane Q Restaurant Review:

The décor: Jane Q inhabits an airy space on the street level of Kimpton Everly Hotel in Hollywood. Two-story atrium windows let natural light wash over a clean, contemporary room that flows effortlessly to a sweeping staircase leading to the upstairs lobby. White subway tile frames the open kitchen, a long zinc counter and communal Carrera marble bar. Wood tables and chairs flank the windows for more intimate dining amidst the lively scene.

Likes: Stylish design of the soaring space; great people-watching; cocktails.
Dislikes: Parking is scarce and can be a bit sketchy along Yucca Street.

Food & Drinks: The restaurant offers changing seasonal specialties. Expect morning lounging over specialty drip and espresso coffee from LAMILL, and dishes ranging from smoked salmon rillettes on a toasted baguette to shrimp and grits with a poached egg. You can do a bit of sophisticated day drinking here with lighter aperitivo spritzes, Negronis and sangría on tap, or a wonderfully rejuvenating “Vodka, So...Duh” mixed with cold pressed kale juice, lemon cordial, soda and lemon. Local draft beer and a Central Coast-centric wine list round things out. The all-day lunch and dinner menu offers a host of lovely vegetarian dishes including charred cabbage with honey, local feta and pepitas; fried green tomatoes; or a creamily decadent avocado parfait that’s perfect to smear on house-made focaccia. At dinner, consider the savory black truffle calzone and duck confit cassoulet with heirloom beans. A smooth Valrhona Manjari chocolate pot de crème is the ideal finish alongside an espresso.
