Jonathan’s on Brick Street

We last minute snagged an early reservation for date night dinner and were really impressed with the food. The restaurant itself was no-frills and simple, but the food was what stood out! Our service was great as well. We started with a nice bottle of red and enjoyed the jumbo sea scallops for an appetizer. This was a delicious dish with some fresh arugula, and we also got some French onion soup which was tasty. We went with the dry aged ribeye special and the seafood stuffed walleye. Both were delicious- especially the ribeye was so flavorful and great quality. I like how the dishes came with veggies and a starch - the truffle red potatoes were an excellent side. The garden salad side I ordered was also a great portion with delicious homemade ceasar dressing. The food overall was excellent all around and at stellar prices. The espresso martini was also a delicious cocktail.

Jonathan's on Brick StreetThe restaurant is small, LOUD, and congested. I definitely would not recommend for any type of romantic gathering-keeping this in mind our recent evening was to be a fun dining celebration, and it should be suited for as such. Recently we attended a birthday party celebration for 14 people, at Jonathan's on Brick Street in Delavan. The host and birthday person graciously planned, invited, and paid for the event for himself and his 14 guests. When we arrived we were seated and realized there was no way 14 adults were to fit around the couple tables shoved next to the back wall-maybe 10 people at the most should have been seated there. After much awkward deliberation and attitude from the manager on the floor, our group was finally moved to another area where more room was available. This reservation was made a couple months prior so you would expect this to have been planned for better. Unknown to the host and most guests, there was to be a birthday singing telegram at the table planned ahead of time by a guest. Apparently, it was more than what was agreed to with the owner Jonathan, and the manager Brian who was a reprehensible jerk about it-absolutely no customer appreciation or service at this point, and he was already seething for having to accommodate our seating. A waitress from across the room rudely yelled at the performer and demanded him to leave-a bit out of her line of authority none-the-less. The performers graciously obliged the raging waitress but the manager was indignant and responded rudely to our party's host who was apologetic-as it was no fault of his own. Let it be known-that evening there were several other performances of birthday singing and clapping at other patron tables-indicative of a loud celebratory environment regardless. Hindsight would have suggested moving our singing telegram to the bar or outside since it was nice weather. The way the staff handled it was appalling and self serving-and did no one any favors for a dining experience. Now, about the food-we were assigned one waiter for our large group who was the only shining star of the evening for his work ethic and demeanor. He was intuitively attentive but at times overwhelmed. He worked fervishly to get our drinks and orders. I can't speak for others but I thought the appetizers were good (brushetta and artichoke dip and a couple others) but my entree was served cold (Angus tenderloin topped with garlic stuffed mushrooms) It was over seasoned and dry with salty gravy poured over it...and not hot, nor the accompanying potatoes. My hot bacon over spinach salad was also not "hot". At the end of the evening several of us moved to the bar for after dinner drinks and witnessed the manager yelling at a waitress in front of bar patrons-not acceptable. I'm guessing the host spent probably around $2000 or more at the end of the night with no appreciation from the restaurant, and his celebration was tainted by the rude, ill-mannered, unpleasant, and just nasty demeanor of the manager-Brian. If you enjoy spending a lot of money dining at a place with a horrible manager-where you have to shout your conversations and enjoy cold food-this is your place! Brian needs to re-think his career choice. Also, you shouldn't take a reservation for 16 people if you can't accommodate them, trying to shove them in a hole in the corner of the restaurant because you want their money.

My wife and I had an excellent experience here. Our server could not have been more friendly and his recommendations were superb. The Oyster duet (Rockefeller and Casino) were simply outstanding, as was the baked french onion soup. My Ribeye was cooked perfectly, but my wife got a mixed grill fish special that had grouper, swordfish and halibut that stole the show. We got a high top table at the bar, providing an ambiance that was refined without being pretentious. I will definitely be back to try the Rocky Mountain mixed grill.

Awesome thank you for the great dinner and dessert was heaven service was top notch! Ambiance was great!

I recently experienced Jonathan's on Brick Street for dinner and was not disappointed... My sister made arrangements for a babysitter and also made us a reservation for four... it was a double date night for my husband and I as well as my sister and bro-in-law. What a treat!Jonathan's provides a classy ambiance with good vibes all around. We found street parking and checked in with the hostess stand. We took some photos in the entry area and were seated promptly.Service was extremely attentive, and we enjoyed the majority of our food and drinks. For appetizers, we had the calamari and scallops - both were delicious. My sister and I shared a Caesar Salad with shrimp, which was also very good. My husband / bro-in-law raved about the Chicken Piccata and Kansas City NY Strip on special. The only item that was not so good was the pasta... it was super rich for our taste.We definitely did not need desserts but we ordered them anyways... a carrot cake and a key lime pie provided a sweet ending to a memorable evening.This was a pricey meal but if you're looking for a date night or special meal with family or friends, it's worth the splurge. Enjoy!

Excellent service ... fine dining in Delavan... stuffed shrimp was superb... wine choice was excellent. Our waiter was top notch!!!o

Jonathan simply put delicious short drive from Lake Geneva.Service ambience outstanding

This was our first time at Jonathan's and we can't say enough about how great our experience was last night. The food & drinks were outstanding. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was warm & friendly. You can always tell a great restaurant when even the people at the bar are eating a full meal. There was no-seat open at 5:00pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant was packed! Another bonus, we found out that everything is hand made in-house. Even the bread, salad dressings and desserts are all hand-made in-house. In this world of high prices and price gouging, we thought that Jonathan's prices were more than fair for what you received. (So refreshing!!)We found out that Jonathan's has been open for about 5 years, so we were bummed that we didn't find out about this restaurant earlier, but we will be back again and again!

We celebrated my birthday dinner here last night and it was amazing. This was my third time at Jonathan's and each time has been great. Started with the chocolate martini and a margarita and for dinner we ordered the Chicken Ala Jonathan and the Ribeye. Our server May was great, her ability to memorize not only the specials but her knowledge of the menu is impressive.

We went for our anniversary dinner. The food and service was top notch. Can't wait to come back and try the Halibut! Our first visit was wonderful
