    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.

    We were seated in the small room and it was quiet and more romantic. Raine was our server and she was outstanding! Very personable and on top of everything. I had one of the specials which was stuffed branzino - stuffed with crab, shrimp, spinach and topped with panko breadcrumbs and sauce and it was delicious. My husband had the roast and it was so tender and good. We always enjoy the food at JTR and look forward to going back.

    A friend and I visited Jonathan’s at Memorial Green. We go early because it fits our schedules. I arrived first and was greeted nicely. When my friend arrived, we were seated Immediately. Our waitress took our drink order and asked if we had questions and left us to visit and make dinner decisions. Our waitress was excellent— friendly, efficient and professional! We had the JTR burgers which were delicious and huge! We had chocolate mousse and tiramisu for desserts—the tiramisu was excellent! We had a nice dinner experience and would go again.
