Dear Jane's WHAT DEAR JOHN’S IS TO STEAK, DEAR JANE’S WILL BE TO SEAFOOD. IT WILL FEEL FAMILIAR AND UPSCALE, YET UPDATED AND APPROACHABLE.

TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE STUNNING MARINA VIEW, THE FOCUS IS ON CLASSIC AMERICAN SEAFOOD DISHES PREPARED SIMPLY WITH THE HIGHEST-QUALITY INGREDIENTS BY SEASONED CHEFS. FROM OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER TO SHRIMP LOUIE, SURF ‘N TURF AND CREPES SUZETTE, THE MENU HEWS TO THOSE OF SOME OF THE MOST LEGENDARY SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS OF THE 60S, 70S, AND 80S. THIS SENSIBILITY WILL BE ON FULL DISPLAY WITH ROAMING CARTS OF TABLESIDE SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD, HAND-MIXED TARTARE, CLASSIC CAVIAR SERVICE, AND PROFESSIONALLY FILETED WHOLE FISH. THE LAYOUT OF THE SPLIT-LEVEL ROOM AND SPACING BETWEEN BOOTHS AND TABLES ARE IDEAL FOR THIS PERSONALIZED SERVICE THAT IS BEGGING TO COME BACK IN STYLE IN THIS DINING ROOM. (THE TABLESIDE CAESAR AT DEAR JOHN’S IS A CONSTANT SELLOUT WITH BOTH OLDER CLIENTELE RELIVING SERVICE OF THE PAST AND NEWBIES FASCINATED WITH THE COURTSIDE SEATS.)

Potato Crusted Sea Bass comes with that perfect golden crunch, tender sea bass underneath, and roasted fennel on the side.

A preserved lemon mint vinaigrette cuts through it all with just the right amount of freshness - the kind of plate that keeps every bite interesting.

Fresh shrimp, crisp greens and classic touches come together tableside, with the final details added right in front of you.

There’s plenty to enjoy in every bite, so whether you’re keeping it all to yourself or passing it around the table, Shrimp Louie is always a good idea.

Who said tater tots have to keep things casual?

Crispy tots, caviar, smoked trout roe, crème fraîche and chives turn a familiar favorite into something a little more playful.

That’s the idea behind JLC’s Bougie Tots - comfort food with a dressed-up side.

Crispy pan-seared fish meets rich nutty brown butter, toasted almonds, and fresh lemon in our classic Trout Amandine.

It is vintage seafood cooking that hits the spot every single time.

Simple, comforting, and delicious down to the very last bite.

Sunset by the water calls for something special in your glass.

The Monk’s Vacation layers Diplomatico Planas rum with Yellow Chartreuse, Velvet Falernum, lush lychee, coconut, and bitters for a bold, tropical twist on golden hour.

Clean slices of yellowtail meet the tart kick of Meyer lemon, briny capers, and rich olives in the Yellowtail Carpaccio.

It is a light, sunny plate that instantly cuts through the warm evening air.

The Blackened Ora King Salmon hits the table with a bold spiced crust alongside a bright caper and parsley sauce.

It is buttery, tangy, and packed with rich coastal soul.

Pair it with a cold white w**e and catch the sunset over the boats.

Golden, crispy chicken smothered in rich red sauce and melted cheese brings big nostalgic energy to the table.

The Chicken Parm is a Dear John’s classic borrowed because true traditions belong everywhere.

Some comfort dishes are simply too good to change.
