We were seated in the winter wonderland tent which was festive for the holidays. The waiter was wonderful and made great suggestions for appetizers ( sweet chili shrimp and crab cakes) entree ( blackened redfish over grits and roasted chicken over mashed potatoes that was moist and seasoned to the bone). Princess personally decorated our desert plate and recommend the Nutella cheesecake that was deelicious😋. Can’t wait to return and try more dishes.

Our server wasn’t very enthusiastic and seemed a little gloomy, that kind of put our mood off. The weather was beautiful that day so our whole office sat outside to enjoy it! Beautiful atmosphere, their lunch menu has decent options with good prices and it’s in a nice area. My lobster bisque had two or three small lobster chunks in which I was disappointed with…
The shrimp appetizer dish was very good and flavorful. Lastly my salmon dish wasn’t anything special and it wasn’t bad either - I had asked for my salmon to be cooked medium and it came out more done.

My biggest complaint though is parking - it’s a pain in the ass to find a parking spot and you almost always have to valet your car if you don’t want to waste your time finding parking.

I’d come back if it was at someone else’s expense or if it’s your first time.

Jonathan’s The Rub is a true haven for steak lovers. Their steaks are nothing short of phenomenal—perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The quality of the meat is outstanding, tender and juicy with a perfectly seared crust that highlights the richness of the cut. Whether you choose the filet, ribeye, or New York strip, each steak is a masterpiece, cooked to your exact preference. The sides, like their creamy mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables, complement the main course flawlessly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is impeccable, making every visit feel special. If you’re looking for a steak experience that’s second to none, Jonathan’s The Rub is the place to go.

Went here for a birthday party and had a great time. The food was lightly seasoned but well portioned to have an even combination of flavor and texture. The food won't blow you away but it was still very good. Staff was friendly and professional. The setting was intimate yet open. I hope to return at some point.

Aug 2024 - an upscale cozy place in the Memorial area serving fantastic food for all palettes of even the pickiest esters. The food is high quality and prepared with presentation in mind. It tasted fantastic. The menu has a wide variety of selections with a Saturday & Sunday brunch options. Mimosas were the drink of the day served in a unique way with added juice DIY fashion. Our waiter was great. His service was spot on all throughout the meal. The atmosphere of this place is cozy and quaint. I really liked the cookbooks all over the restaurant. There's a large outdoor area for your outdoor enjoyment. So, for a great meal with great service when out in the Memorial area, stop by Jonathan's The Rub.
