Had an early 5:30 reservation for 2 on a Tuesday night - and was very surprised at how full the restaurant was - 3 large tables (8+) of business diners plus a few scattered smaller groups. The back half of the restaurant was not available due to a private party - so that is likely why the front section was totally full. I ordered the halibut on the recommendation of our waiter - a chunky piece of fist, but it seems a little dry to me. I also substituted brussel sprouts for the asparagus - and the sprouts were quite salty, so I could only eat a small bite at a time combined with the fish or bread. My friend got the 8oz filet, and was very happy with her meal. The service was good and kept us ahead of the larger party orders - we appreciate that.

Devon (sp?) was our lovely server and was attentive without being intrusive. Even though most tables were seated, we could hear each other talk and could hear our server all while not being able to hear other table conversations. Lunch special was great and several choices for a fixed meal. Meals were delicious and plentiful. We will be back!

Great menu choices from light to more substantial. I chose the Niçoise salad and it was excellent. Good, unobtrusive service and was able to have an easy conversation as the music level was low - perfect for a lunch time meet-up. I will return.

Jonathan's is always a delight. The buffet offered so many choices I wish I'd fasted for two days before coming. Service was great. Some places take their foot off the service gas when doing a buffet. NOT Jonathan's. Everyone was delightfully responsive. We recommend Jonathan's always.

Three for the food and 5 stars for the service. Normally I would give a higher rating for their food, but the Easter Brunch was a bit disappointing. We opted for the Buffet, which looked amazing. However, the food options were lukewarm, and the buffet was awkward to access—winding around the restaurant so the traffic to get to your seating was using the same area as the buffet line. The set-up of the buffet made no sense. I would not have the buffet again on a holiday. The service was great, as always, and the decor was lovely. We don’t eat enough food to warrant $65 per person—especially for lukewarm food, much of which was nothing special. We’ll stick with the regular menu if we do it again.
