Amazing experience from top to bottom… Appetizers and cocktails were delicious. Our waitress was attentive, but not overbearing. Entrées were spectacular! Dessert… OMG the olive oil cake! Soooo good! The manager was lovely, the hostesses were attentive and sweet, just a perfect evening!

A lovely experience. Wonderful cocktails - and many to choose from - and delicious appetizers, mains, and desserts. Friendly and efficient service. We were seated near the door so not the best seat in the house, and since this is also a cocktail bar, it is quite noisy but everything that matters most (food and service) is top notch.

This is the best prepared food in Boston. The ambiance is buzzing and the service is excellent. Unique range of Italian wines fairly priced for the quality. Booths are best - not convinced by the communal table. We loved this place

My husband and I very much enjoyed our first time having lunch there and hope to return to try some different choices from the varied menu. Henrietta’s Table was full of good vibes, pleasant decor, and amiable servers, along with delicious food. Hope to come back soon!

    We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Jonathan’s! The Tuesday French Bistro menu was phenomenal, and the seafood au gratin was generously filled with seafood. The chocolate mousse was among the best I’ve ever had! A special thank-you to Carlos, our personable and attentive server, who went out of his way to make our anniversary special. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend Jonathan’s!

    Tuesday is $1 shrimp and oysters so that was an amazing start to the meal. Love their kale salad with salmon and they did not disappoint! Also had a slice of the traditional pizza with pepperoni and sausage and enjoyed that as well. It was pretty loud in there but it didn’t bother my group. Service was great!
