Jonathans - Wilkes-Barre

Our waitress was the worst....we sat downstairs....she got our drink orders wrong and was more interested cruising her cell phone at the bar instead of helping us. We had to wave her down each time we needed her. Initially we were the only customers down there....so there was no excuse. With that she yelled from the side of the bar.... Loudly she yelled.... Do you want drink? There were four of us at the table. Never checked with us to see how our appetizers were and had a very bad attitude. I have her name....if the owner wants to re-train her. It was my sister 's birthday...thank God the food was great.I want this local restaurant to succeed.

What a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect, great food, nice cocktails, pleasant staff!Food: 5/5

Great pork chop. Excellent service. Stuffed popper was amazingFood: 5/5

Excellent!! Had the crab chips as an appetizer and shared an onion soup. Both were outstanding but the onion soup was the best I ever had. Can’t say enough about the flavors. My dinner was spot on. By far my favorite place to go in Northeast PA. Can’t be the view too, right next to the lake.

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 was a disaster.
