Jonathans Restaurant — Restaurant in Harveys Lake

My wife and I stopped here for the first time. Our initial impression upon entering the building was that it had really neat architecture. The restaurant is on the first floor. When you enter, walk straight down the hall and it is on the right.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted very quickly and in an extremely friendly manner. The gentleman took our coats and we were quickly seated.

The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and romantic. We did notice that there is a large artwork picture of Kramer from Seinfeld above the fireplace, which was pretty neat.

There is also a very large window facing River Street which gives you a very nice view when eating.

We were quickly greeted by our waitress in a friendly, welcoming manner.

While waiting for our dinner, we were provided fresh bread and butter. The bread was delicious.

For appetizers, my wife and I both got the Colossal crab with butter and Old Bay. It was delicious.

For our main meals, my wife had gotten the crab cake and I had gone the filet mignon.

My wife said that her crab cake was extremely tasty and well prepared with plenty of crab and very little filler.

My filet was done perfectly. It was seasoned to perfection, and very moist and tender. I've been trying to find a restaurant who can cook a filet like another local restaurant which we love. Until this time, no one has even come close. I would rate Jonathan's filet right on par with this other local restaurant.

The dinners came with a choice of potato. My wife had gotten the baked potato which was delicious and I had gotten the steak fries which were also delicious. They were a little crunchy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside.

The meals also came with a vegetable, which were grilled mixed vegetables. They were cooked and seasoned perfectly.

Overall, the owner and workers of Jonathan's should be very proud because they have provided an excellent dining experience. We will definitely be back!

Also, as a side note, you can park in the parking lot to the left of the restaurant even though it says permit parking only. The worker said it was okay to park there.

Last evening, while my boyfriend and I were on our way to mohegan sun, we decided to have dinner. Our first choice did not look appealing from the outside so my bf did not want to go in. He googled a different restaurant and found Jonathans. It was the best choice we could have made. Everything was wonderful. Upon walking in to the restaurant, we were immediately greeted, not only by one of the staff but also by Jonathan himself. We were seated rather quickly and our waiter (Nathan) was very friendly, quickly came to take our order. After ordering our drinks, we opted for the fried ravioli as our appetizer. The fried ravioli with the tomato jam sauce was perfect. When Jonathan stopped by our table to check in with us, we asked about the sauce and he checked with the chef, came back and told us it was a homemade tomato jam/jelly. After raving about the appetizer, we were served dinner in a very timely manner. My bf opted for the blackened tuna while I chose the chicken pasta alfredo, both of which were very delicious. The chicken pasta alfredo was the best I have ever experienced (so creamy) and I even sampled the blackened tuna from my boyfriend's plate, and although I am not a fan of seafood, I would consider choosing it for myself on a future visit. We will definitely be going back to Jonathans and I highly recommend it as a MUST visit restaurant. Thank you Jonathan and all of your staff for such a top notch...

My wife and I went to Jonathan‘s to celebrate our 28th anniversary. When we arrived to a beautiful spacious dining area with windows that overlooks the lake, we were seated at the furthest, dark, back corner of the dining hall that smelled of old beer and cigarettes. The waitress took our order, and that is the last time that we saw her for the entire evening. The drinks were great. The bread was stale, and the owner came over and apologized and brought us another basket of bread. When we wanted a second round of drinks, I had to go to the bar to get the owners attention in order to get a second round of drinks because our waitress is nowhere to be seen. When our food arrived, my duck had the consistency of jerky my wife’s crab cakes were burned black on the bottom. We both had carrots on our plate and over the boiled carrots was poured pancake syrup that pretty much permeated the entire meal. My wife ate her meal, mine wasn’t edible. We were at a Jonathan‘s restaurant in Wilkes-Barre several times and it was extremely good. This reincarnation at Harvey's lake is most definitely not worth the ride. The owner came over. He was nice. He was gracious. He took the duck off the bill, but the entire meal...
