Dear Jane's

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.)
