The duck was too die for and my girlfriend could have. She is deathly allergic to some mushrooms and the tannins that they posess. We told the waiter prior to ordering that she was allergic and to please check that the risotto accompanying the duck had no mushrooms. We were assured that it didn't and, of course it did.

I have been back to Jonathan's about once a year for the last 7 years. Some times are better or worse than others but I always tell myself,"For this money, I should have gone to Cafe Zack". This restaurant is very noisy. For a few hundred they could use acoustic panel up in the ceiling and make a huge improvement.... more

Initially our dining experience started out very well. Our server was pleasant and the bread served with tampenade, oil and balsamic vinegar was very good.

This was a total pleasure. Really fine food -- the best crab bisque I've ever had. And first-rate paella. Also a good martini menu. Service was very good. All in all, a great experience. more

We had one day in Ventura. Didn't want to try the oceanview or harbor restaurants as they are generally overpriced, we know, we have plenty where I'm from in Santa Cruz. My daughter and I strolled Main St and saw paella on Jonathan's menu. This is it, I love paella. The paella ($22) was very good, but could have used... more
