    We had a wonderful waitress and experience at Jonah’s on Saturday night. My husband order shrimp with his filet and the kitchen plated fried shrimp instead of grilled. My husband didn’t mind, but the waitress noticed and was quick to make it right. The grilled shrimp that he ordered were going to be a 15 minute wait, so she gave us a free dessert instead. The food was amazing, and the service was top notch.

    My wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2025. We both ordered the surf and turf (steak and lobster) from the special valentine menu which included baked potatoes and asparagus, as well as a salad. Both steak and lobster were a good size and were very succulent. As an appetizer we had baked goat cheese with garlic crostinis. It was also very delicious. The ambience was fitting for the occasion and the service was good. Overall we had a great dining experience.
