Function room upstairs, currently set up for a comedy show.
Janet M.

I don't know how Jonathan's has escaped my reviews for such a long time. I try to get to Ogunquit at least once/year and we only skipped dinner there once, and then only because we stayed the next town up. Jonathan's is elegant and subdued from the outside, but inside it's eclectic with lots of unusual artwork as well as beautiful gardens you can glimpse from the windows. There are at least three very comfortable dining rooms, a bar, and a function room upstairs where they host shows and entertainment. The service is always top notch, I have never had a cocktail or glass of wine that disappointed me, and I can always find a vegan or vegetarian option. My longstanding favorite is the eggplant napoleon, a MUST-TRY. This was the first time we stayed for a show at Jonathan's - the FABULOUS Paula Poundstone - and the function room was set up with long, narrow tables and dining chairs. There is an elevator to get upstairs if it's needed, but the staircase from the lobby is lovely and well-constructed. The room is cooled by very efficient ductless AC units, so it was comfortable there in mid-July. Everything is in top condition, looks brand new and is well maintained. Lots of love to Jonathan and his amazing team for so many memorable experiences!

$1 oysters & limoncello spritz
Lydia C.

I have been to Jonathan's a few times to dine in the lounge for $1 oysters. They are offered from 4-6pm every day, even on weekends in the bar/lounge area. The staff is very nice and the restaurant will often have live performances. The $1 oysters are only able to be ordered by the dozen- but they are $20 cheaper from 4-6pm than during the rest of the day! I have tried other seafood appetizers and menu items and found them very good as well. The main menu items and drinks are on the pricier side, but it may be what is typical in the area.

Bourbon Steak Tips cooked to perfection!

Great venue! Went to see the Sophie B Hawkins show here on 6/1/25. I got amazing seats at a very good price which included a $25 voucher towards dinner. The staff is very friendly and the food was delicious! I can't wait to come back!

If it were based just on the food, this review would probably be a 2/5. The food was pretty subpar, especially for the price. I got the Chicken Masala and it didn't have much flavor, the chicken was meh, and the noodles were overcooked. My mom got the scallops and she said they also didn't have much flavor. My dad liked the fish he got, so maybe we just picked the wrong menu items. I think they'd do better if they paired their menu down. The only reason this place is bumped up from a 2 to a 3 star review is because of the great service. Our server was friendly, funny and efficient, and our drinks and food came out in a timely manner. It seemed pretty empty inside for a summer evening, too.

New Englandy type restaurant. White tablecloths, sculpture and flower gardens adorn the outdoors -- all visible from the windows of the DR and provide a magnificent backdrop to your meal. They have handy stands for your purse at every table; a nice touch. Excellent haddock chowder! Another plus is that it is stone's throw away from the Ogunquit Theatre. We were one of the first cars in the parking lot at 6:25 PM and walked to the restaurant, avoiding the traffic in and out of the parking lot. We were amongst the first cars to leave when the show was over!

Delicious food accompanied by Wonderful, attentive service from Darlene, surrounded by beautiful gardens that are even well lit and enjoyable after dark! I had Jonathan's house salad and the seafood chowder. The salad was crisp, fresh local veggies and perfect light citrus vinaigrette. The seafood chowder was very good, hubby enjoyed the wedge salad with French onion soup served in traditional croque, warm French bread and butter was perfect accompaniment. My mom had the roasted artichoke appetizer and the eggplant napoleon and we both loved the light and crispy eggplant! Finished it all off with the warm blueberry tart Ala mode! A lovely meal - highly recommend. We are staying at the Meadowmere next store and this restaurant is where we will be coming back to!

Dinner menu

We had a local recommend this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We go back to Maine almost every year and have yet to be disappointed! It's casual dress, but elegant food. We have shared a date night a few times and felt very comfortable bringing our kids at other times. All of the food is fresh and the stuffed lobster is ridiculously amazing! They've prepared it for us even when it wasn't on the menu. Service is fantastic and everyone is so nice! Well worth a visit.

Jonathan's was OK. Hard to say it was a miss since my dinner companions loved it but compared to the other places we explored in Ogunquit it fell short. Location is lovely, service was good, restaurant has an interesting non food smell. Pro tip: swordfish piccata and seafood pasta is delish. The lobster ravioli was OK, lobster didn't taste as fresh as other places. The BEST thing we ate was the blueberry pie at the end. Great entertainment!

Wonderfully delicious crème brûlée!
Kyla J.

stayed up at the hotel near by and decided to come here...5/5 would 100% recommend! For someone who doesn't eat fish the haddock was absolutely delicious! The French onion soup was amazing and so wasn't the ribeye and it was perfectly cooked. The service was amazing the waiter that we had he was wonderfully nice. The ambience is like stars a night sky. It's beautiful upstairs you can see shows. absolutely love this place. Definitely gonna come back!

See all

Food was awful. The place was packed and the bartenders couldn't keep up. The staff were yelling at each other the whole time.

I wouldn't expect such a small theater to have Broadway shows, but it seems this had developed as…read morean important theater where many famous actors have performed. Because it's an older theater, their solution to a smaller parking lot is to have everyone park in a long row, and they make you pull up so that you're bumper to bumper. If the cars in front of you hustle to the parking lot, it's fine. If they don't, you're stuck until they show up as the cars park so close you can't even get out. I don't love that, but there is nowhere else around to park nearby. The lobby is pretty small and gets very crowded before the doors open. There are snacks and souvenirs for purchase. They don't have a bag check, so I brought my own water, which was great. The theater itself is small and cozy, so most seats will have a good view. I saw Come from Away and was definitely seated closer and more affordably than I could have been in a NYC venue. The performers were all very talented - this isn't just some locals who got on stage. The warned many, many times there was no intermission, and they wouldn't let you back in if you needed to use the restroom, which seemed a bit extreme. There were a lot of other good shows in the upcoming season, so if you are from nearby or staying in the area, it's worth checking out what's on stage. It's a good experience at a good price.
