This restaurant is located in the lobby of the Double Tree Hotel. The employees were very helpful and friendly, from the Hostess to the bartender and Servers. I ordered a Jana garden salad with sliced grilled chicken. My cousin had a petite steak with veggies and whipped potatoes. The portions were good and nicely plated. We had a late lunch with a group of 12 people. They checked on us frequently and automatically filled the water glasses without being asked. There are doors that exit right by the pool. This is very convenient if you are hungry or thirsty after a swim. I would definitely return to dine here when I am in the area. Sincerely, Rosemary Red carpet serv! read more

Jana Mediterranean Coastal is located in the lobby of the DoubleTree hotel in Torrance. We ordered the tomato soup, Mediterranean salad with salmon, and the pastrami sandwich with sauerkraut and Russian dressing. The tomato soup was warm, smooth, and flavorful. The Mediterranean salad was fresh, and the salmon was cooked nicely with crispy skin. The pastrami sandwich was generously filled, and the sauerkraut and Russian dressing gave it plenty of flavor. It also came with fries. We enjoyed everything and had a very nice meal. read more

Lovely ambience at Jana Mediterranean Coastal! Located inside the Doubletree Hotel in Torrance on Hawthorne Blvd. The lot is a paid parking lot. (There is also free parking at the adjacent businesses if you're a customer there. Ie. Hannam Chain) Nice, upscale vibes. The bartenders greeted us and welcomed us to sit anywhere in the dining area. It was just the hubby and I and another customer in the entire restaurant with plenty of tables and lounge chairs. There is also a view of the pool area next to the restaurant. The beet salad is plated beautifully and delicious. The only weak link is the fries and ranch which is okay. Hummus, veggies, pita chips, bread are a great start. I chose a simple club sandwich wrap and just added mayo. Hubby chose the chicken sandwich with cheese. All was tasty and the 2nd half of my wrap was still good for the next day's lunch. Hubby liked his sangria. For dessert they brought out two complimentary chocolate chip cookies with oats and walnuts. It's been a very long time since I've had their popular Doubletree cookies. They are wonderful! Great service, atmosphere, and food! 4.5 rounded down to 4. read more

Went here for Happy Hour. 2.00 off Signature Cocktails 2.00 off Appetizers 2.00 off House Wine 2.00 off Beer Ordered the chicken Skewers and kofta for appetizers. The chicken was moist and with the right amount of crunch. The sauce needed more flavor and was watery. The kofta was tasty but again the same sauce. The shiso leaves were a good idea but didn't taste that minty herb flavor that would of been nice with the kofta. Tried the Mushroom pasta and Banana Pudding for dessert. The drinks, appetizers and main were all wonderful and fresh. The dessert we would pass on next time. The strawberry was frozen, chocolate shell was not crunchy and the banana flavor tasted artificial. Service was amazing and the staff were a attentive and professional. read more

One of those meals where you're already planning your next visit before dessert arrives. EChef Chris absolutely crushed it. Incredible food, amazing hospitality, and such a great atmosphere. So happy I finally got to experience Jana Mediterranean! read more

Behind the DoubleTree hotel lobby is Jana. A new concept that I hope does well and lasts. They did a good job revamping the place. There's a bar lounge area and a large dining area. Went Halloween night so the employees were dressed up. The Dodger game was on which was good. They also had music which they turned off so people could enjoy the game from the bar area. They say it's Mediterranean but this could be New American or even Asian fusion as a lot of dishes had an Asian influence. The food was very good considering they've only been open for a couple weeks now. Everything was plated nicely and flavors weren't overwhelming. Service was very good. Sarah was dressed up as Poison Ivy and was very attentive. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Our server was Louis and he was amazing!!! He was so nice and gave us amazing recommendations. The food was also really good, I really recommend branzino and also the mushroom pappardelle. It's located in the lobby of the hotel so the ambiance is very nice. Perfect for a date night! read more

Love this new spot in the south bay, We started off our night with cocktails, Typhoon and coast to coast were both amazing!! both light but still not overly sweet. You can taste they are made with good booz! We started with the two dips hummus and a cold feta dip that came with the best pita chips and veggies and Jana salad, the salad looked amazing and super yummy. We shared the Beef Kofta and mediterranean Branzino with a side of roasted carrots. WOW, the kofta was a mix of Middle eastern and Asian , LOVE IT note you need to each the shiso leaf with the meat like a taco. As for service, it was good and our waitress was super friendly and overall check back on us and give great service. Next time I will try more and come during lunch to try out the sandwiches read more

The ambiance is nice, and the food is great (if they get your order right). I've been here on a few occasions for work events and gatherings; your OG bartenders from the former Andre's lounge Steve and Pete are friendly, professional, and experienced. Our last visit, however, was disappointing to say the least. As a certified bartender/server for over two decades, I write this review (based on what I observed) for training purposes. First, the bar was in disarray. Unfortunately it's poorly designed and not bartender friendly, but bottles should be put back after use, bar tools placed back in caddy & used towels should be out of plain sight. The bartender took our drink order, but then left to take a cart back to what I assume was the kitchen, and he was gone for about 10 minutes. When he got back he had asked my friend twice if he wanted his Makers rocks with a big cube or regular ice, and twice he told him regular ice, but still got the big cube. I asked for mayo on my wrap instead of the sauce but it was delivered with the sauce. We didn't bother sending anything back, we waited a long time and were thirsty & hungry. The other person behind bar was on her phone often. She seemed inexperienced, uncertain on how to mix drinks. We also watched her pick a cap off the floor and put it back on the bottle. A patron asked her why she dumped mis-poured beers out rather than offer it to one of the regulars or a customer & that it was a waste of product. Maybe it's the restaurant's rule, but there's really no legal requirement to dump mis-pours as long as it was not served to or untouched by original customer. She carried glassware incorrectly while putting them away, they should not be held against your body/chest per health code. These things can be corrected, little details are important when it comes to the guest experience. We will continue to refer friends and colleagues to Jana as the atmosphere, food, and most of the bartenders and restaurant staff are great. Also, the hotel GM and front desk staff are wonderful, which is why we gave 4 stars overall. Jana Mediterranean is a nice restaurant for travelers, large groups, and for business networking events. We hope that it continues to be successful after some minor tweaks are made and bar/restaurant staff is provided more training. read more

Now that I've been here a few times, I can better comment on this hidden gem in Torrance. First the service has always been excellent. Jose is such a gentleman and Samantha is so sweet. Jana is the rebranded restaurant and has a new chef. The decor and the food has improved tremendously. Some of the dishes I've had: Feta and hummus - tasty unique flavors Braised short ribs - beef was was super tender Jidori chicken - surprisingly moist (potatoes a bit heavy though) SoCal burger - grass fed and juicy Crispy chicken sandwich - Better than the place down the street Crispy chicken skewers - crisp tempura style with a delicious sauce (Samantha's rec!) Beet salad - real roasted beets with great presentation (would be even better with some butter lettuce) Tips: Parking is validated. Also, you can use your Amex Platinum Business Hilton credit! Marketing doesn't seem to have started so come before people find out. read more

What used to be my favorite bar in the South Bay, the vintage lounge, has transformed completely into the all new Jana Mediterranean coastal restaurant. It has the same awesome staff, but with a way more elevated menu (thanks to new executive chef) and less expensive drinks that are fun and tasty. Vintage lounge had been getting more and more expensive and the remodeling was getting more sterile and cold. Jana is warm, fun, relatively inexpensive, and has basically saved this hotel bar/restaurant from going down the tubes. Bravo! Thank you bringing fun back to Torrance with live music, Friday DJ, all week happy hour, amazing food (really), and the same great staff. read more

Came here with a group of people on a Wednesday night when they have live entertainment and dancing. The food was really good. Plus they have my favorite pasta! I got the Pappardelle pasta that was bomb! I got a spring mix salad and a brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The dessert was dusted with fine pistachio pieces. So if you are allergic, let them know you are when ordering. read more

Went for a family & friends event. 10/10 all around. The restaurant it's was beautiful. The decor was beautiful. The set up was beautiful. The wine wall was beautiful. The menu was simple yet informative I say simple because it was only one page front and back but informative because not only did it state the item, but it gave a brief description under the item. The drinks selection was awesome. The wine selection was awesome. The food selection was a little tricky because so many things sounded good, we were having trouble picking. We ended up getting passionfruit Mojitos, a melon drink and a smoke drink. For appetizers, we had the bread, the meatballs, the Caesar salad, the John salad, the beef skewers, and the chicken skewers when I tell you, everything was so well plated, and so delicious. We all shared items and we left every plate of empty. Then we had our entrées. I don't quite remember the names so I'll just attach pictures but everything was delicious. This easily was up there with a Michelin star restaurant quality without a doubt. The short ribs fell apart. You slightly touched it with a fork and it fell apart. The potato purée was delicious. It was creamy. It was flavorful. It was everything. The choice of seasoned vegetables was A1. it was like a beets, carrot, & asparagus. The broccolini was thick and flavorful. I have never had a thick broccolini and let me tell you 10 out of 10. Like I have nothing bad to say I have only compliments and praises Roselyn was our waiter. She was excellent. She was friendly. She was attentive. She was funny. She gave awesome recommendations. The restroom was so clean so clean there was music in the restroom, like ocean waves crashing on a shore soothing. The lighting in the bathroom was amazing if you have to go in there for a makeup touchup immaculate definitely recommend 10 out of 10 by far one of the best meals I have had. read more

This place seems to pick and choose its customers. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes without even being offered water. Eventually, I had to ask the host who seated us to take our order. Meanwhile, the server and what appeared to be a manager walked past our table dozens of times without saying a single word to us. In the end, neither our drinks nor our food ever arrived. We waited a total of 35 minutes from the time we arrived and only received water, so we decided to cancel and leave. Even if they had been busy, it would be more understandable, but there were only two tables occupied, including ours. I've never experienced such poor service. It honestly makes me wonder how this restaurant would function when it actually gets busy. The host was kind and went out of her way to help us, even though it clearly wasn't her role. I really appreciate her effort. The location and space are beautiful, but the staff is so disappointing that I will never return. Unless you're staying at the hotel, it's not worth going out of your way to visit this restaurant. read more

Just discovered this spot and i love it !!!!! Such good drinks and food! Really loved the shishito peppers and the skewers

I was wrong I thought the restaurant name was Andre but after verification it is Jana. Here is what I wrote before: Was a little rude with the manager when we arrived, because I did find the restaurant empty at 7:30 pm. But we decided to give a try: luckily because : My wife had the best rib eye in many many years, and I never ate pappardelle as delicious. Folks arrived, but stayed at the bar. We had a platter of hummus and feta, the best appetizer ever. Janice had a salad, and I had a chocolate ice cream dessert... we lived an evening to dream of. We are coming back next week to Torrance, and definitely it will be our favorite restaurant. Chapeau, this new direction and new chef are going to make lots of folks happy. PS : I can't wait to be back in Jana Thursday night! and chapeau for the manager he is fun, attentive at your needs, and of course he is Lebanees , no betetr manager than him. read more

Dedicated good with healthy and great taste! Beautiful quiet restaurant with very good cocktail! Hotel parking is free.

Incredibly slow service. Waited more than ten mins before anyone came to our table. The waiter was friendly though. Ordered appetizers and main course. All the food arrived at the same time. No explanation or apology Food was good but we waited forever to get the check. Maybe they need more staff and training. read more

Second time eating at Jana's inside the Doubletree Hotel Torrance. The Executive Chief has created an amazing menu and dishes. And the service was equally amazing. Thank you Luis for a great night! read more

My wife and I live nearby and finally checked out Jana Restaurant for dinner, and wow, what a great find! The meatballs were incredible and the branzino was out of this world. You can tell everything's made with care. We went on a Friday night when they had a DJ, and the place was packed with great energy. Total hidden gem in Torrance, cool vibe, good music, and amazing food. Big thanks to Roger the manager who was super friendly, recommended a perfect wine, and even introduced us to the chef. Awesome hospitality, fun night, we'll definitely be back for New Year's Eve! read more

Jana is the new restaurant located on the first floor of the Double Tree Hotel, previously known as Andre's. This whole restaurant and bar is completely renovated. Came here with the family for early dinner/ happy hour on a Wednesday afternoon. We ordered several dishes and the food was delicious. I would recommend the beet salad, meatballs, hummus, and the turkey bacon wraps. The service was on point, very friendly staff. I enjoyed watching baseball on several big screen TVs by the bar. There was live music starting around 6pm and several couples were dancing. The atmosphere was very friendly, more the mature crowd. Just to mention that Double Tree Hotel parking lot has a gate now and needs to get the parking ticket validated. The hotel lobby had a major renovation too and looks very nice. I know this review was for the restaurant, but you have to go through the lobby to get there. Anyways, the overall experience with Jana was very nice, will definitely be back again. read more

Great food great service amazing branzino and steak. Vast wine selections available. Beautiful restaurant. Bravo

The food and the ambiance here are amazing! And the service is even better! Honestly, we had appetizers, our meals and then dessert, there was not a single bite that wasn't delicious. There were four of us and we all loved all of it. The ambiance was maybe the biggest surprise, I don't usually think of a hotel restaurant as a destination restaurant, but this one really is. It's all brand new and gorgeous, you immediately forget you're in a hotel. I highly recommend this one, and we will be back! read more
