Wonderful atmosphere, superior quality food, wait service was pleasant and not overly attractive.

Decided to take my husband here for his birthday. I checked their website to see if they needed or you could make reservations but didn't see anything. So we just showed up. Gentleman at the check in counter said they are a by reservation only restaurant. I said oh ok. Sorry. But he said he would check with the chef to see if they could squeeze us in and he came back and said they could. I thought that was very nice of them. Place was beautiful inside. Lights dimmed made for a romantic ambiance. We started with drinks. I got an Espresso Martini. She asked if I wanted a small or a large. So I said large. What the heck, why not. It came out in a regular drinking glass and with ice in it. That was definitely a bit strange with the ice in it. I felt like I had to drink it fast so the ice didn't melt and dilute my drink down. Definitely a little disappointed in my drink in that way. Otherwise it tasted really good. Hubby got a beer and he said it tasted good. We got Bruschetta as an appetizer. It was not like bruschetta I've ever had. I was expecting bright red tomatoes. It had a color and sweet taste to it almost like dates. I didn't care for it to be completely honest. We both ordered a salad. I got the mixed greens and my husband got the Caesar salad They were both good. I got the Filet of Beef for dinner. My two sides, I got a vegetable medley and Hericot Verts. I got my steak medium. It came out a little over cooked and more like medium well. Which is still fine with me, but not what I ordered. Steak was a little bland. Not much flavor. Feel like it needed more seasoning, ie salt and pepper. Both of my sides were great. The vegetable medley had such great flavor. My husband got the Ribeye with mashed potatoes and the hericot verts and wax beans. His steak was a little over done as well and needed more seasoning/flavor as well. Our waitress was fantastic. Very friendly, and attentive. Owner Derek even come out and introduced himself to everyone and said if there was anything we needed to please let them know. Noise level was perfect, not too loud but not too quiet either. Overall it was a great dinner and we'd definitely come back. read more

On the menu; A Night at Jonesy's with Chef and Owner Derek Jones. I can't begin to describe what a wonderful night this turned out to be. I called Jonesy's late this afternoon and spoke with Chef Derek Jones. He graciously set us up with a table in a quiet corner for dinner this evening and even greeted us upon our arrival at our table. We started with a bottle of Ferrari Carano Chardonnay and an appetizer of Candied Apples wrapped in Pork Belly on a bed of Micro Greens. An absolute melt in your mouth dish that's truly hard to top. Followed up with a spring mix salad with fresh vegetables and a balsamic vinaigrette. Dressing sounds ordinary but it is far from it. It was creamy and tart but smooth and didn't grab you like a lot of vinaigrettes. Carolyn had the Rack of Lamb and I went with the Filet of Beef Tenderloin. The lamb was so tender in a White Wine Shallot Sauce that made you roll your eyes with every bite. Absolutely amazing. I literally ate this huge Filet with my fork. It was grilled to perfection and topped with a Veal Demi and a Chardonnay Herb Compound Butter. The Lemon Garlic Parmesan Wax Beans were a family specialty and off the charts , Fingering Potatoes, Wild Rice , and Vegetable Medley really brought these meals together so nicely. We finished with coffee and desserts consisting of the most incredible Bread Pudding I've ever eaten and a Crème Brûlée that almost made me pick up the dish and lick it clean. The greatest part was that we ended up being the last people in the restaurant so Chef Derek walked me around and told me the history of his family and how he brought his old family's home from a dentist office back to its original beauty. Derek and his sister Tara are 7th Generation. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jonesy's, Chef Derek and Tara. Please treat yourself to the most enchanting dining experience this area has to offer. You will absolutely never forget it. Thank you Derek and Tara. We'll see you very soon. read more

Food is wonderful! Love this place! Our favorite restaurant in Connersville!! Wait staff and management are top shelf!! Lovely landscaping and beautiful building! read more

First time here this past Saturday. I called first to see if we needed reservations and it was the owner who took the call and said yes as they only had 12 tables. We drove up to a house that was converted into a restaurant. We parked behind the house and walked along the sidewalk post a little rock garden with a bubbling fountain. There were a couple of chairs and a small table outside the entrance door you are editing for your table and it is nice out. Upon entering we were greeted and seated promptly. They have a menu of beer, wine, and spirits but no actual cocktail menu. We ordered our drinks and she returned with them and took our order for appetizers. We ordered the crabcakes and Brussels sprouts, of the two the Brussels was my favorite although the crab cakes were good. The ambiance was nice and the music playing softly was a jazz-blues mix. Our dinner was delivrred. I had the filet and the hubby had the ribeye. Both of our steaks were cooked, as requested, to a medium-rare. He had spinach and whipped potatoes with his ribeye. I had fingerling potatoes and mixed seasonal veggies with mine. Everything was delicious. I could not resist ordering the red velvet cake and coffee. Great way to finish my meal. Paying the bill is not for the faint of heart but I think this would be a great place for an anniversary meal or a date night. The owner/chef is Derek. Derek checked on us during our meal and also afterward gave us some history about the reasons he wanted to purchase here including family ties and getting out of the hustle of the big city. Pictures on the wall are his family. read more

Jonesy’s - Loved it!!! - Salad Near Me - Connersville, Indiana

This place is great. Top quality food, service and atmosphere. The building and grounds have been beautifully restored. It's hands-down the nicest spot in Connersville, but rivals many high end spots we've been to all over the country (Capital Grille, anyone?). Started with a coat check, which is always nice. The chef (Derrick) came out to greet us after we were seated. All the staff was polite, helpful and very attentive - our drinks never had a chance to even get half empty. We were seated in the room with a beautiful fireplace and really nice atmosphere. We had the crab cakes appetizer, which were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm from Florida, I know my crab cakes!). Steaks were perfect, mashed potatoes were wonderfully seasoned and like a cloud. Everything was great. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert, and it was also fantastic (!!). If you're looking for the perfect spot for a date night, special event, or just a really nice dinner, this is it. If you're from out of town, it's worth the drive! read more

I have heard a lot about Jonesy's, and after holding a book signing there we made reservations for dinner. The food is five stars for sure! The staff was so kind, and tentative, and the ambiance was amazing! Great lighting, and dinner in front of the fire place. I took a group of 4. Myself, my wife, and our two teenage children. We all ordered starters, salads, and entrees. We then followed it up with a wonderful dessert. It was well worth the price, and we will be going back next time we come to our hometown! It exceeded my expectations, and I could've possibly just eaten the best steak I have ever had in my life. read more

Having often been disappointed by lousy atmosphere and unremarkable food when visiting well reputed establishments in big cities, I was truly delighted to find this gem of a place. It is a high end restaurant in a small town. Fabulous atmosphere and service. Food was spectacular. It's a perfect spot for a special occasion as the lighting and decor are very luxurious. Overall, one of the very best dining experiences of my life. read more

We were visiting from out of town, and were given a table though reservations were recommended. Highly recommend the fried Brussel sprouts! Beautifully refurbished space, the chef took the time to share his vision and experiences with us. Wait staff was very attentive and accommodating, and the food was fantastic. We ordered the sea bass and duck entrees, both delicious. Portions were perfect, and it was a pleasant find for an evening meal. The bread pudding was awesome - enough to share. Make your reservations as seating is limited - but don't miss Jonesy's. read more

Great food and very nice atmosphere! A real jewel of a place in a small town. Foodies will love this place!

As another reviewer commented, this is a very high-end restaurant in a small town! It's an absolute gem! We wanted to take a convertible ride out in the country and the route to Connersville is a very pleasant drive from Cincinnati. We found Jonesy's online and decided to give it a try! This is a very intimate restaurant in a beautifully restored home. They specialize in high-touch service and have amazing food. Everything we tasted on this trip was done exquisitely and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting the chef-owner who made a point to come by the table multiple times to ensure we were having an amazing experience. We will be back - tip: be sure to call for reservation as there are only 12 tables!! Make a point to stop here if you can! read more

I had a fabulous dining experience at Jonesy's. It is a dining event, not a hurried chain restaurant. If you are looking for fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere, attention to detail, and excellent service, this is the place. ( Bread Pudding is a must!) read more

The food is five star, best Ribeye steak I've had in years! Appetizers were extremely well done. Crab cakes were amazing and the Brussel sprouts were great! I didn't think that was even possible. Topped it off with bread pudding...heaven on a plate...will be returning soon. The atmosphere is pleasant borders on elegant and the staff is attentive to your every desire while dining. This Restaurant is the Best kept secret in central Indiana! read more

Everything is excellent from the wine to the delicious bread pudding dessert. The Brussels sprouts appetizer is wonderful and is even a healthy choice. I highly recommend the Chilean sea bass. It was cooked perfectly and paired nicely with sautéed spinach and fingerling potatoes. The staff is attentive and well trained. The surroundings are attractive and conducive to fine dining. Even with the CoVid 19 restrictions I felt safe with the social distancing of tables and staff wearing masks. I highly recommend this destination restaurant. read more
