The food was great as usual. We have dined at both locations and prefer the Memorial location over this one. We felt rushed to order and complete meal and did not have time for a good family visit even though the restaurant was not full since we were there from 5-6pm. In the future we will visit the Memorial location since it was a better dining experience for us. Again, the food was awesome!,,

The food was good, but for the prices, could have been better. 3 decent, but nothing to write home about, scallops for $46? Brussels sprouts were very bitter and needed something maybe sweet to cut that. Mac & cheese side was creamy and good (could have had a bit more bacon). Waiter was just OK. It took a long time for plates and glasses to be cleared. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, and we’ll probably come back, but I just felt like it all could have been stepped up a notch.

Went for Fathers Day, sat at bar. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not as cozy as original location but that's a good thing, simple, welcoming ambiance. Had the mandatory tv's but placed high enough over bar so not a constant distraction. Great bourbon selection. Excellent drinks, creative but not overly fussy food menu. We had breakfast, omelet was excellent! Will definitely return!

Great customer service . However , the food was decent , nothing amazing for the price. My husband ordered a pasta with clams , the shells were empty no meat . They had to make a second order of clams for him. The burger my son ordered was basic , but their customer service is great and their appetizer were good but not great

We sat outside (indoors was freezing and crowded) so noise was okay but service was lackadaisical. (Maybe the times.) $20 lunch menu was good deal. Seafood gumbo was inedible though. Broth like dishwater. Sent it back. Chicken/sausage gumbo was darker, thicker, better. Grilled trout was delicious.

We did have a little mix up upon arrival and had to wait for a table beyond our reservation time. The manager/owner was incredibly attentive and concerned of our wait. They ended up taking very good care of us and resulted in a typically good evening at Jonathan’s! Always a family favorite!

Food and waitress was great. They need help at the hostess stand. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table while there were clearly empty and clean tables available. She had a bad attitude and spoke like the annoying millennial valley girl.

My hamburger was not very good. The bun was too thick so I got a mouth full of doughy bread. The meat had no flavor and I ordered crispy fries but got limp greasy fries. I only ate half the sandwich before giving up on the meal. My friends had been there two weeks earlier and raved about the food. They ordered the exact meal as before and found their fish was not nearly as good as before. I doubt we will return.

Walked in and was warmly greeted. From that point it went downhill. Inform the waitress that it was our first time, expecting some recommendations but recieve none. Also the patio was filled with flies to the point my kids could not enjoy the food. The food was just OK. Coxtials were good. Overall fair experience may try again and sit indoors

The original location was much better; quiet and a place to go and relax. This new location just has a different vibe. Loud, tables super close to each other, so much that it felt like we were eating with the couple next to us. It was hot inside and the wood tables had that sticky feel. Service was ok, not bad but not great. Food was not what we expected-a bit bland. Extremely expensive for what we got. I suggest sticking to the new location on memorial drive.
