    Excellent service. Best crème Brulee . Steak cooked to order specifications. Wedge very large, but could have used additional dressing. There was a splitting fee of $5. Seems that would merit a little extra dressing. Enjoyed the Limoncello Spritz.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We were a party of 4 ( 2 couples) and one of us was gluten free. Two of us ordered the Pasta Mediterranean which was delicious and a generous portion. The lobster bisque was very good and the muscles are always a favorite. A serving of the blueberry crumble is one of the best desserts in Maine. Our server ?Chris was wonderful. We have consistently enjoyed our meals at Jonathan's over the years. Count us as loyal diners. P.S. The roaring fireplace in the entryway is so welcoming.
