  • "We had a great evening out. Jonathan's is a wonderful place overall. People were friendly and helpful, the food was good, and afterwards we went upstairs to hear one of our favorite performers in a great setting."

  • "Loved the selection of meats and fish, stuffed mushroom appetizer very good as well. Atmosphere was great, and tables were not stacked on top of each other like so many 'upscale' restaurants do. Very friendly and accomodating staff. My wife's only complaint was the lack of alternatives to potato (rice, orzo, etc) in many of the dishes. Worked for me but I love potato!"

  • "The minute you walk in you feel like your at a close friends house, it has a charm,a warmth and a cozy feel. It is fine dinning in a very relaxed atmosphere. I had the lamb sausage. Wonderful! it was done in a red sauce over pasta and vegetables. My sister had the baked stuffed haddock. Also wonderful. the fish was cooked to perfection! The staff was great. The menu had a good variety to choose from and the prices where in the mid $20.00 range. To top the night off we went up stairs for the comedy show. A great and reasonable night to entertain family and friends. Don't miss it!"

  • "Disappointed that after we had made a reservation, that they had run out of prime rib. When there is a selection put on the menu for a special occasion, such as Valentine's day, there is no need of running out of that item."

  • "All was fine until 3 or 4 mom's showed up with 6 children. Seemed more like 20! Real noisy unbehaved brats running all over the place! Wait staff was helpless to gain any control and the "mom's" we're of no help whatsoever, in fact, they were the problem! Way too loud to even have any normal conversations at our table which was way on the other side of the room. Made for a dissapointing evening at an establishment where we have had many great experiences before. Not their fault at all. They tried to situate that group away from everyone to no avail. Food and service were excellent. Just too bad about inconsiderate people which seem to be multiplying far too rapidly in my opinion. They're inconsiderate to the point of not even knowing it."

  • "I picked this restaurant,sight unseen,for a birthday dinner for my husband.We were headed to Maine for the weekend and I took a shot because they were having a band there that evening. When we walked in there was a blazing fire and a wonderful piano and sax player playing dinner music. There was also a huge fishtank in the middle of the dining room.It was a very warm and inviting atmosphere.Our waitresses,Sara and Jen, were personable and very helpful. Honestly, they were a very good coupling. One had a bit of a bubbly personality and one was a bit more dry; both were helpful and wonderful to work with. They put a candle in my husband's dessert and had the sax player play Happy Birthday! First time that ever happened to him! Very memorable."

  • "Loved the concert venue. Small, great acoustics, good music. Restaurant was pleasant but a bit noisy. Service was very good- polite and prompt. Food was overpriced - no outstanding flavors or memorable dishes. We had rib eye dinner and Maine seafood pasta. Rib eye was well cooked but not outstanding. Pasta dish was mostly pasta and bland. Seafood chowder tasted of Worcestershire sauce."

  • "If you like rich food in large quantities this restaurant may be for you. Traditional menu with a few variations. Service was excellent."

  • "This was just the right choice for a special dinner! The service was impeccable. The ambiance set the mood for a relaxing dining experience to suit even the most discerning "foodie" and the food was amazing! Clearly the owners, the chef and all the employees share the same vision of providing a welcoming, sensory experience for their guests. We were there in August and enjoyed a variety of summer specialties. We even had a tour of the garden after our meal. Kudos to the chef for the unique menu items and the exquisite presentation. The next time we are in the area, we will certainly be back and we will recommend Jonathan's to our friends who will be traveling in the area."

  • "The food and service were both excellent. The ambiance for my wife's birthday was fitting."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Lamb Pot Pie delicious. Lobster/shrimp perfect inSeafood Pasta; cherrystone clams dry/chewy like jerky. Our terrific waiter dispatched to other area during meal & bartender took over. Bartender was attentive & provided timely service, but no offer for overcooked clams. Should have replaced with properly cooked clams, substitution with lobster or shrimp, or small discount on bill. 2nd dinner: onion soup & jaeger schnitzel. Soup very flavorful, right amount of cheese. Pork schnitzel uniformly sliced, very tender, but a bit scorched. Sides well cooked & appropriately sized. Will dine here again. Much good here with potential for excellence. Kitchen needs to pay bit more attention. Wait staff needs to react proactively to correct mishaps."

  • "I really enjoyed the vegetarian eggplant dish, a pleasant variety of textures and flavors. My wife loved the chowder and mushrooms and wouldn't stop taking my gnocci!"
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "Jonathan's did an excellent job with serving a nice dinner in combination with a musical performance in their upstairs cabaret. The salads were excellent. My vegetarian dinner of eggplant, spinach and gnocchi was fabulous, though my wife's chicken piccata was just OK. The staff was well organized using tickets, dinner coupons and coupons good for drinks upstairs. We would certainly return herefor another dinner and performance"

  • "We went specifically to have dinner and see Marc Cohn’s performance after. The atmosphere was pleasant and a new coating of snow outside the well lit windows added greatly to that. The service was prompt and friendly and the gluten free menu was a welcome addition however it was mostly restricted to beef offerings and needs to be diversified. Our meals were nice but not exceptional and a little pricy for the offering. The show after was in an intimate setting upstairs and the closeness of the performers made it feel very personal. The room was understandably full and moving around was slow but not impossible. The biggest drawback to the show room was the folding wooden chairs were very uncomfortable."

  • "We booked Jonanthan's to have Thanksgiving Dinner with our parents. Booking via Open Table was easy. When we arrived there we waited about 30 minutes for our table (booked 2 months out). We all ordered some appetizers, they brought some bread and we had to ask for more butter a couple of times since there were 2 pieces for a party of 5. They also served this little dish of a slice of cranberry sauce (jellied), a couple of pickles, a couple of olives as well as pickled onions...for 5 people. It was a bit embarrassing and I was shocked they served this. We all god the traditional turkey meal which was okay - not amazing. Dessert was good but they had run out of basics like apple pie, pecan pie and pumpkin pie (for a 4:30pm reservation)."
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "Very accommodating! Seated us near the glowing wood fire at our request on a cool, dreary, rainy Maine night. Lobster was excellent! Chef provided a complimentary appetizer; we weren't that hungry but it was a smoked salmon and haddock fish cake that was excellent."

  • "My wife and I have lived in the Seacoast area for 20 years. We had known about Jonathan's but had never tried it because it was a bit out of the way (We live in Hampton NH, about 30 miles away). The truth is, is that we were attracted by the prime rib special on last Thursday night. How bad could it be for $8.95? It was Great! Far better than our expectations ! Presentation a 10 out of 10 Taste a 10 out of 10 Service a 10 out 10 A Prime Rib dinner for the price of a decent 'burger? We'll be back to try other meals, and we'll bring friends with us."

  • "I am a discerning diner due to my culinary skillz. The apps including boursin stuffed shrooms to our flaky, delectable salmon and the perfectly cooked and flavorful ribeye; we were delighted. The ambiance was relaxed, comfortable, and cozy. The service was professional and affable. It was fab! Ohhh and the cheesecake was yummy. Decent wine selection also. Great spot."

  • "Thank gaud for Jonathan's; in a sea of closed for the season establishments, Jonathan's is a welcoming oasis. We were able to sit at the bar in a warm atmosphere, fire roaring, fresh and delicious food, good martini, nice wine (bartender choice)... it was wonderful and all during a snow emergency. Burger was cooked perfectly, fries were very good and the b ours in stuffed mushrooms yum. We were also there for a more elaborate dinner on New Year's day. Ribeye was perfect, asparagus spot on and the salmon was cooked just right albeit a tad too sweet for him. But devoured. =) cheesecake and berries with a bit of compote was a shared perfect finish. Service was superior!"

  • "We came down for a show and had dinner reservations at 6:15. We arrived on time and we didn't get our food delivered to us until 7:50 and it made us late to head upstairs. The food was so so, nothing spectacular, nothing jumped out at me on the menu so I had a great salad and a mediocre app. they ran out of mussels and another seafood appetizer, had to keep coming back to get a new order. Didn't get the beer order correct and didn't remember to take off the show credit right away. Great spot, nice ambiance but don't need to return any time soon. Would have been nice to see a shrimp or salmon entree or something more original than chicken piccata."
    Dined on 11/29/2013
  • "The outside of the restaurant is very welcoming, a pretty country setting... the inside is also very comfortable and welcoming, with one exception, the huge fish tanks in the middle of the dining room are really out of place and ruin the look of the dining room. Too bad... The food was pretty good and the portions were generous. The waitresses were terrific, especially considering it was Thanksgiving at 8:00 pm and they were working all day ...they were still very friendly and attentive... All in all, worth a try ...I just wish they could move the ugly fish tanks."
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "My husband is a wonderful cook, therefore we rarely go out to dinner. It's depressing to spend money at a restaurant after eating the meal, when you could have had something better at home. However, this restaurant lives up to my husbands cooking, so I don't mind coming to Jonathan's for dinner. From Ogunquit Maine to as far as Newburyport Ma, Jonathan's restaurant is the best to be had. I highly recommend the veal dishes!"
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "The food rating would have been 5 stars except that the roasted lamb was fatty and tough. All other food items (roasted turkey, rib-eye steak, crusted salmon) were terrific! Appetizers, salads, canned pickles, and desserts were yummy. Kudos for the service and ambience, tastefully done for the holidays. We will go again, soon!"
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "There are few venues available for Thanksgiving Dinner in this area. Booking was simple (through Open Table) and the online menu was very accurate. The reservation led to a relaxing experience. It was not overrun with crowds and was, surprisingly, only at 85% capacity. You couldn't ask for nicer and more responsive staff. Special dietary requests for one of the party (adjustments to the items) was not an issue. All orders are taken on hand held tablets and it obviously works well. Very tasty complimentary items were provided. The house garden salad has a great light dressing. The entrees are very high quality home style meals. Reminds me of grandma. Highly recommended. Would be great for summer theater goers. Enjoy."

  • "We have been to Jonathan's in the past and really enjoyed the food. From soup to dessert it was delicious. I had the Baked Haddock which was baked to perfection with a scallop and shrimp topping. My husband had the steak smothered in mushroom sauce. We went there for breakfast the next morning and had the omelets with fried potatoes. They gave out samples of these delicious muffins with home made jelly too. We love going there also because upstairs they have entertainment at night. I highly suggest trying Jonathan's if you are in the Ogunquit area."

  • "This was my first visit to Jonathan's in Ogunquit to meet friends for dinner and concert. Reception greeter was courteous, and charming with a genuine concern for my comfort and table placement which was near the piano bar. Waitor was totally accommodating, and commented that my choice of entree was truly on target for a great choice...the vegetarian dish preceeded by the marinated mussels and a nice cold black beer! Thank you everyone for a memorable evening."
    Dined on 11/9/2013
  • "We made reservations for 7:30 that night and checked in. There were already a few people waiting - one couple looking frustrated because it was taking long for their table. We waited until 8:00 and still there was no table for us, so we just left. Would have loved to rate them with more detail, but waiting a half an hour for a pre-made reservation is ridiculous."
    Dined on 10/5/2013
  • "This popular restaurant has a nice bar area, and great dining rooms nicely appointed and lighted. Views of the outside gardens make the atmosphere quite pleasant. There is a very respectful wine list and the menu is extensive with daily specials as well. The service is always prompt and courteous. The noise level can be a little high as it was when we were there this last time. The piano was about right but when the saxophone played it was almost a racket and unnerving. Conversations were loud and I found it too be distracting. It is becoming an issue with me as I find diners using their "outside" voices in dining rooms lately. All in all, I certainly will visit Jonathan's again when I am in that area of Maine."
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "Our reservation requested one of their smaller, more quiet rooms, which was lovely. The staff was very friendly and also very accommodating to my husband's dietary need of no salt. Our entrees, salmon and swordfish, were cooked as requested and delicious. While the onion soup tasted very good, I would have preferred a bit more broth, as mine had a lot of bread and cheese, and very little onion or broth. Jonathan's Garden Salad, which claimed to have mixed greens, sadly only had iceberg lettuce. The apple crisp, which we shared, was very tasty and extremely generous. Over all, it was a nice dinner and will return to Jonathan's."
