   Jonathan's is a very cozy, nice restaurant with a great drink and wine menu, great diversity of choices on the food and appetizer and dessert menus. Good service and well-made food. Very generous portions. We were greeted by Jonathan himself at the host table when we arrived and he was very friendly as was the rest of the staff. The interior ambiance is very cozy and it feels like you're at someone's very large house having a great meal. They also have an upstairs with music entertainment. Family friendly casual attire. Highly recommended!

   Finally, a chef who doesn't believe medium rare should have the blood running out of the meat. Excellent brown bread - like when I was a child.

   One would expect excellent seafood in Maine along the coast. I ordered the seafood linguine. Linguine was average and sauce (oil) was pretty flavorless. The seafood itself was sparse. There was half a soft shell lobster (lacks meat), three clams, and three decent size shrimp. For $50 this is not great value especially 2 1/2 hours up in to Maine from Boston. The room itself was especially cold somewhere in the 60s. Most of the women in were wearing their coats. When I asked for the buck a shuck, I was told it was only at the bar. I felt like getting up and going to the bar, but had already ordered food at the table. Had the waiter made an attempt to reconcile this review would have turned positive. There were only four sets of diners and it would’ve been easy enough to get a dozen of the oysters and bring them to the table. Getting the oysters probably would’ve turned the experience positive. My wife’s beef ribs were pretty good. Overall I would’ve expected a much better quantity and quality of seafood for the price. The piano man was a nice touch playing music in the background.

   Hi Charles, we sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that the seafood linguine didn't meet your expectations and that it felt lacking in both flavor and portion size considering the price. We aim to provide dishes that reflect the richness of Maine seafood, so it's disappointing to learn we missed the mark this time. Your comments about temperature and service are also noted; that's definitely not how we want our guests to feel during their visit. Please reach out via email at info[at]jonathansogunquit.com so we can gain more insight into your experience and work towards improvements. We hope to hear from you soon!

   Do not sit near live music. Can't hear your dinner members at the table.

   We had a wonderful meal and it appeared they were packing people in to meet the Valentines crowd. We had two servers which was good in one respect but they were unaware of what eachother did so no one asked if we wanted another round of drinks and they tried taking our dessert order twice. But the meal was fabulous and while expensive, you expect that on valentines Day.

    Jonathan's restaurant had a full house due to a show being held at their upstairs entertainment venue. Have been to the restaurant many times but this was the first time the meal was just okay and for the price paid ($49) for the sirloin steak dinner that was not ok. The steak was tough and fatty and certainly not worth $49. Generally, the food is excellent. Had a good time with friends but disappointed with the meal. Will try to avoid going there for dinner on nights when there is entertainment . Kitchen too busy and quality not as good.
