Excellent food and service. Highly recommend the Crab Cakes. The Restaurant is on the higher priced end of restaurants and I was disappointed that there was no lunch specials/menu, but that said, the food was very fresh, excellent quality and service was attentive without being annoying. I recommend and will go back.

Jonathan's Campbell location has a different vibe than the Memorial one. More relaxed. Same great service. Slightly different take on the menu. But, every bit as satisfying. Fun for a dinner out or a business meal. Jonathan's is my go-to place for a great meal.
