Birthday Celebration for an out of town cousin. We arrived and were immediately taken to our table. Reservations were made for 5 and we were actually 6. No problem the extra placesetting was completed quickly. Menu and Lunch Specials were provided and choices on the Lunch Specials made ordering easy for half of our party. Food was brought out without rushing and served hot. Everything we ordered was delicious. ( Pot Roast, Veal Parmesian, Bacon Burger, and Alfredo Pasta). A cake was provided by us and served with the appropriate celebration. Everything was perfect our guest of honor was pleased. Thank you Jonathan's

I arrived to the restaurant while the host was on the call. The host never looked up while he was talking so I waited in front of the desk. He ended the call 5 minutes later. While hanging up the phone another couple walked in and he looked right through me and welcomed the couple and asked them how he can help them. Before he was able to complete his sentence, I answered (although he was not speaking to me) and said yes, thank you. I have a reservation. He then seated us first. This was so upsetting for me that I lost my appetite and decided to leave. I cannot spend my money at a restaurant that does not value & treat customers equally. You hear of discrimination but when it hits you straight on, it's very hurtful. I was finally able to shake off the unpleasant feeling from that prejudice man. Most likely I will not return.

First time there. I really enjoyed the Food. I had the Scallop Boat and my friend had the charbroiled bronzino. Both were absolutely delicious. They are terrific for not charging more for credit cards. I really like that also. I would definitely go back.

1st time dining here. Took advantage of the Restaurant Week Menu. The F.I.G. Sangria was very unique...loved it! The shrimp risotto was quite tasty as well. Ambiance was on point. Perfectly dimmed lights in the bar area. I'll definitely return!

Our dining experience was not what we would expect from Jonathans. We dine there often, and it's been better before. Our waiter pushed us through our meal. Came back every few minutes to check on us. Two of our meals were cold, and had to be reheated. Very annoying. When we needed water or bread he was nowhere to be found. And our take out leftovers were mixed up, so we wound up with food from others. NOT OK. We were unable to enjoy that second meal we looked forward to, as the food was not ours. For $240 the service should have been much better. Overall, very disappointed!!! Under Linda Motagalli

Jonathan's food and service are wonderful. Unexpectedly came and saw the Restaurant Week menu- 3 courses for $39. Great choices!! The buffalo chicken eggrolls, salmon cake and eggplant rolletini were on point. Our dinners, lamb shank, shrimp and crab risotto and pecan breaded chicken Milanese were enjoyed and large enough to have extras to take home. The 3 of us were so full we could hardly finish our desserts! Our server was polite, knowledgeable and very professional! Jonathan's is a must if you want a great dinner!

Jonthans is a great Neighborhood restaurant with great food and good value. Service was great. We made a reservation and requested the Bar Area, which was happily accommodated. My wife, who give up chocolate for lent ordered her post lent Chocolate Martinini, which she said was one of the best she's ever had. The Hoisin Duck Appetizer special was delicious, however we wished they were served in soft taco's. My wife had the scallops and I had the ribeye. Both were done to perfection. We look forward to coming back.

I am usually very satisfied with the food at Jonathan's but not this time the bread basket overall takes a little stale and my entrée salad with grilled salmon was very underwhelming at $27.

Very nice place, comfortable seating. Ordered the schnitzel which was good but different than I expected so I'd get something else next time. Definitely would go backVegetarian options: Some vegetarian choices, gluten free choicesDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: High chairs and made us comfortable with little one even though it was high end, not catered to kids

We are there every month for our local book club. Service and food are wonderful, and we are able to sit and review what we read without being rushed. Also go there with friends for lunch and dinner at other times. Have found that whoever I bring with me always enjoys their meal there.

I ate here over ten years ago and I wanted to return again because my memory was that it was good. I returned recently and the food was very bad. The fried appetizers tasted like they came from the frozen food section of the supermarket. The salad was very bad too. Just poor quality, the dressing, chicken and lettuce. The service was good. The main room feels like a cafeteria and is over crowded and very noisy.

The food was excellent as always. The service was excellent. The Waiter was very attentive. The noise level was moderate and the table selection was a great location. It is always a wonderful experience to dine here whether it be personal , or business.
