“ Always a treat. They are open through the normal dinner hours which is nice because my wife and I like to eat early. ”
“ Best Salmon around . Actually all fisn dishes are seasoned good and well prepared . Service is outstanding! ”
“ The food here is incredible. We haven't had anything that we haven't loved. The blackened grouper, the artichoke dip, and the oysters are all excellent! I wouldn't recommend sitting at the bar. We sat at both bars and unfortunately the bar staff has consistently been unfriendly and not engaging. It's a bummer because the rest of the experience is excellent! ”
“ We had dinner at Jonah's. They close at 8 on a Thursday, which seems early to me. We arrived at 7:15. The host was less than friendly. When we sat down, we were greeted immediately handed menus, bev naps put down along with our water. Service was impeccable from start to finish. Our servers name was Gregory. He had an old fashioned and I was a Pinot. Both were nice. We had an appetizer of oysters on the half shell from the Potomac River in MD. My man is from MD and he thought the oysters were delicious. For our main course he had the scallops and I had the blackened grouper. Both were excellent. We are not from here. We have eaten at many restaurants in the area and we can say this is hands down one of the best. The only thing I would change is the lighting. The darker atmosphere is nice. But the down lights are too harsh and there is nothing on the tables for lighting. Lighting should be layered. ”
“ Had a party of 10 and made a reservation. There were 2 different parties going separately in 2 different vehicles. We drove a good 45 minutes to there and had car trouble. Finally got there. We waited a little to get our water. I ordered sea bass with asparagus. It was okay. Presentation was good. We had a couple of appetizers. Oysters Rockefeller was great and worth the money. I would try the French onion soup next time. We also ordered the chocolate cake and the key lime pie. They were okay. To me the key lime is way too sweet! Oh kids ordered the Mac and cheese. I am surprised to see that look like came out from a box. Not sure why we had to ask for water but appears most people here said the same. Saturday night appears to be very busy and the restaurant is full! I might try this place again. ”
“ Always consistent seafood. Shrimp and crab flatbread. Delicious. Gumbo is always fantastic. Fried oysters, yum! Chowder fantastic. Service always friendly and consistent. Can't go wrong ”
“ Jonahs is always a pleasure in fine-dining. Whether it's lunch or supper you always get your money's worth. Great fresh seafood expertly prepared. Fast service without mistakes. Beautiful decor and ambiance. Highly recommended! ”
