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.

It took us 40 minutes to get our dinner whereas tables around us, with just as many quests, who ordered food after us, got their food about 10 minutes before us. The prices are ridiculous for portion size. The only tasty dish was pot stickers. The lettuce was brown. No kids menu. Won’t be going back. Our waitress was inattentive and rarely visited our table to check on us. We have received much better good and service at the memorial location. We won’t be visiting this place again. Waste of $103

We went to Jonathan’s before a concert downtown with another couple. Everyone loved their food, our water and the ambience. My husband and I go to Jonathan’s quite frequently and the only complaint is that it’s so expensive. We’d go more often if it was $200 a dinner. But, never the less, we will be back. Love this locAtion so much!!

The tables are sooo close together. Would have appreciated a bit more separation. The $20 lunch deal would be even better if the entree came with a small portion of a side dish. I had the jalapeño redfish, wish there was a bit of couscous or something to go with it. Food tasted delicious!

Disappointing visit at this Jonathan’s location. The quality of the food was poor, both in preparation and freshness. We have regularly visited this location since it opened, and there has been a definite deterioration. We will avoid this JTR location in the future and confine our visits to the Memorial Green site where the food is much better.

Dear Prof, Thank You very much for visiting Jonathans the Rub @ Campbell Place, we're very sorry to hear about your bad experience and can assure you that this "definite deterioration" is just not the case. I feel like we we have an amazing team that strives to be great but like all humans can make mistakes from time to time and for that I apologize sincerely.
