    The food flavor is always excellent. Great flavor and presentation. However, as with most American restaurants, the food is tepid to almost cool. Jonah's is no exception. The delious clam chowder was warm, not hot. I had the fried oysters which were very good but again cool to tepid at best. My wife had the crabcakes. Same story. It really is a shame to have such wonderful dishes served lukewarm.

    It had been awhile since we dined here as we live a bit of a drive across the river. We were celebrating our anniversary and decided to do a late lunch with plans for Holy Thursday mass later. This worked out well being in between busy times allowing for a nice leisurely dining experience. The King Crab was excellent. Our server suggested the house salad to share and we enjoyed excellent wine by the glass. We also received a complementary generous slice of chocolate cake. Can't wait to return again!

    Beautiful property. Kept clean and welcoming. Food was ok. The 7 layer salad was delish. Coconut shimp a little over cooked . Waitress never introduced herself.

    It's just not what it has been.... Gumbo was not warm.. sent it back... came back more rice pulled on to.. still not hot! Husband's cod sandwich had some issues... pieces and not a full piece. He asked to "substitute" fries with the augratin and there was no mention of an extra charge. Keep asking to get off water refilled. Just really disappointed!

    We had a 7:30 reservation and they were out of every type of fish except Cod.

    Hi Michael, Sorry for the disappointing experience. We take pride in the fact that we serve fresh seafood product - one of the downsides of this commitment to quality is that we are beholden to supply chain issues throughout the country/world. There were several storms in the U.S. over the week that led to some breakdowns. We attempted to mitigate those issues, but obviously fell short for you. I hope you'll give us another chance in the future.

    Taylor did a fantastic job of serving us. The food was great. I still don’t understand why you can get seafood nachos at the big bar but not on the dinner menu.

    Hostess and wait staff seemed a little inexperienced. The wait staff needed a couple more people.
