THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED jer-ne restaurant + bar Restaurant Review:

Instead of being called The Dining Room like many of The Ritz-Carlton's restaurants, this Marina del Rey location features a post-modern name (a play on the word "Journey"). The design showcases large funky lamps hanging from the partially-recessed ceiling with a metallic patina, striking hardwood floors, an internally lit fourteen-foot Mexican onyx table for parties, and boat-filled views of the harbor through French windows and from the large patio. The kitchen incorporates local ingredients in the dishes whenever possible. Expect starters like roasted pepper and tomato soup with corn croutons, and a smoked duck salad with market greens and pickled stone fruit. Among the entrées, try the pork loin complemented by wild arugula risotto, or branzino baked in banana leaf. There's an intriguing wine list with predominantly Californian offerings and more than two dozen choices of wine by the glass. End the meal with jasmine rice pudding with lemon verbena ice cream, or better yet, top it off with a $220 digestif of Rémy Martin Louis XIII Cognac from the bottle on display at the bar.
