Ok, I love the ambiance and the food.
But they changed the menu and added a surcharge. That surcharge thing just bugs me. Let's say it's for support to employees. Employees don't usually stay long enough to actually see ANY of that compensation! It just will go more to the business! So it's just an added rip off for the customer! Let's say the charge IS to support inflation or to avoid raising the menu pricing by approximately 30 cents. That's still obnoxious! Also...happy hour an hour ONLY?? Then who's going to come to your restaurant for happy hour!? The whole point is to make an appealing happy hour so that more people COME, and STAY longer and order MORE! I think they need to rethink how to get more people in the restaurant. There's just too much competition to be that tight about things. Just don't love those changes. I swear I see surcharge on menus or bills and I already have decided I will chose somewhere else to go.

Favorite dishes: Lomo Saltado-juicy well marinated beef, perfectly blistered tomatoes and onions, easily one of the best I've had in LA Waygu Crunchers-ideal happy hour bite, reminiscent of Nobu. Well priced and packed with flavor Spanish Octopus -tender and citrusy, it's hard to execute the perfect char without overcooking the octopus and it becoming rubbery. This was our tables favorite dish, it was hard to not order 3 more. It was that good Favorite cocktails: Happy hour Paloma- strong, well made cocktail with real grapefruit juice instead of soda Spicy margarita- this one is no joke, jalapeño infused and super fresh tasting Smoke show- a mezcal lovers dream Service: Reza, the owner, greeted us with impeccable hospitality when he stopped by the table to introduce himself. From the get go, he made our party feel right at home. Our server Kayla was super well versed when it came to menu recommendations and our busser was on top of his game keeping our table clear and our waters full. Ambiance: beautiful space, resort type vibes with a great playlist. We sat in the back patio/lounge area on a cold, windy evening and the heaters kept us nice and toasty. Overall highly recommend whether you're looking for the perfect low key date night spot or an after work happy hour, this place has the vibes on lock!

The food is what you expect from these Santa Monica restaurants and their prices. I'd recommend this place for drinks but maybe that's about it.

Shitty service, nasty food, everything's overpriced, weirdos pouring girls alcohol from a marked bottle but drinking from a different one themselves. Sus spot.

Came for happy hour, stayed for this massive plate of delicious meat. This plate would be a vegan person's nightmare, but if you like meat, it was fantastic. They have great dipping sauces too! This spot is great. They make good cocktails. The bartenders are friendly. The bar is pretty small, so be warned, you might have to wait. They have a great outdoor spot that they can cover when it rains. The vibe here is awesome. Def going to be a new happy hour spot.

I was invited back to this restaurant to try it with improved service. It was definitely improved! Our waitress was attentive and expeditious. We received all the food we ordered and it was perfectly prepared. The ambiance on the patio was lovely again, we will be back :-)

in the heart of the city Santa Monica , Jonah's Kitchen and Bar is a culinary gem that transports you to the breezy vibes of Tulum, Mexico, with its stunning design and laid-back ambiance. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with an atmosphere that whispers of sandy beaches and swaying palms. The menu at Jonah's is a delightful journey through flavors and textures, each dish crafted with care and creativity. Starting with the grilled octopus on the Woodfire grill, every bite is a symphony of smoky goodness and tender seafood perfection. while the hamachi tacos with truffle & Mi Amora ahi tuna Tatar elevate taco night to a whole new level. Don't miss out on the refreshing Greek salad, feta that perfectly complements the rich flavors of the Peruvian yellowtail and grilled shrimp with garlic sauce. For the main course I love lomo saltado filet mignon especially when I add shrimp comes with Japanese rice that's literally on fire! And let's not forget about the Texas-style brisket, slow-cooked for 14 hours until it reaches a melt-in-your-mouth perfection that's truly unparalleled. For those with hearty appetites, the Jonah's beef platter is a must-try, offering a tantalizing selection that satisfies every carnivorous craving. And who can resist the temptation of wagyu crispy tacos, a crispy indulgence that's worth every savory bite. With each visit to Jonah's, the menu unfolds like a love letter to flavor, beckoning you to return again and again to explore its culinary delights. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or just looking for your next unforgettable dining experience, Jonah's Kitchen and Bar promises a journey that's as delicious as it is memorable. As for us, we're already planning our next visit, eager to discover what other culinary treasures await us.

Yum! The food service and ambience is great but a little bit on the pricey side. We definitely go back on special date nights.
Be the first to ReplyIncredible tasting menu! Every item was amazing.
I love the truffle tacos, wagu beef tacos, Spanish Octopus was insane, ceviche on point! I I can't wait to go there again and try more on this menu,
Be the first to ReplyPay restaurant prices for counter service experience.
Food came out haphazardly starting 5 mins after we ordered. Entree was in front of me before I had my drink. Folks in our group were getting their food 10 - 15 mins later. Really loud speaker blaring music over our heads so you could not hear conversation at the table. All wrong.
Be the first to ReplyIf you want overpriced and overrated tacos come to this
If you want overpriced and overrated tacos come to this place. Not only was all the staff rude, they have attitudes for everything. We struggled to get a spot to sit after spending $80 on 4 tacos and a drink. Finally, we found a spot but it was under a tree/also way too small of a space. This was just an embarrassing place to be on so many levels. Also - you'll notice that when you go it seems like they pay influencers to promote this place as they are constantly taking pictures. I also over heard about 5 girls get free tacos, just a little bit of a weird place when you over charge reg customers then give it out for free in front of us. Seems like a fake place with fake reviews to me. The tacos were all messy and hard to eat. Just an ultimate fail here really. Don't go unless you want to waste money and be treated like trash. Or - if you are an influencer hit them up for free food..
Be the first to ReplyCame here for happy hour.
They have seating up front and in the back (front more casual and back more vibey). I tried the kobe beef taco ($5) which was correctly described to us as an upgraded Taco Bell and was filling. We shared the tostados ($9) as pictured which were tasty. Great drink deals. Peach cobbler for the birthday dessert for the birthday girl was very good as well.
Be the first to ReplyHappy hour is a must.
This restaurant is beautiful, so intentionally decored. Our server was very friendly, made sure we got our orders in as desired. We came by for happy hour on a Friday (5 - 6:30pm) to a lovely menu. $8 margaritas was hard to pass up on (so I ordered 3). Tacos were around $5 each and these are not the classic small street tacos, these are substantial. The back room was very cozy & energizing at the same time. The one thing I probably wouldn't order again is the guac. It was okay; but nothing special. I'll definitely back for happy hour again to explore the main menu a bit more. Thanks Jonah's.
Be the first to ReplyThis is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in LA.
The vibes are immaculate. The food is second to none. The Tiki bar is amazing. The drinks are incredible (Adam is the best bartender around). Jonah is one of the nicest guys I've met as is true of all management and employees at the restaurant. Reza is the GOAT of hospitality. CANNOT RECOMMEND ANYTHING MORE THAN JONAHS

Great happy hour and ambiance! The drinks are great and good wine! The trees and lights make for a great setting.
Be the first to ReplyFood was on point.
I was surprised by that. The service was also on point. I had the lomo, grilled shrimp and oysters, all bangers. The crowd was hip and young. Music was ok. This place was the real deal
Be the first to ReplyVery cute and romantic ambiance.
We went at 5:30 for Happy Hour. The service was great and the food was even better. The tacos were very good and a decent size.

I've been 5 or 6 times and should have reviewed this place long ago. The food, service, and ambiance are all excellent, every single time. I met Jonah last time I was there and he was the nicest guy! 10/10 recommend.

If you're dining at Jonah's Kitchen, consider yourself very fortunate. The owner has put his blood, sweat and tears into his restaurant, which reflects in the decadent menu items. I've dined here many times and the K-town chicken is one of the best dishes I have ever experienced.For those of you that are complaining about the small things, you are missing out on the bigger picture. This place is a gem and Santa Monica is lucky to have it there. Enjoy the ambiance, as few places can match the experience you are guaranteed to have here.
Be the first to ReplyLove the food and the vibe.
Really high quality ingredients. Generous portions. A gem indeed.
Be the first to ReplyThe food and ambience were lovely but the service was
The food and ambience were lovely but the service was absolutely terrible. It was not crowded but a server was not assigned to our table, and so we waited 15 min just to get water. Then they forgot part of our order, never asked about salsa or condiments and took a long time to get the check when we asked. We almost just walked out! The food was decent but overpriced. I wish i could provide a more positive review-We were hopeful!
Be the first to ReplyCozy, intimate setting.
Friendly, warm, and quick service. Scrumptious, divine food. Jonah's Kitchen + Bar is very well deserving of 5 stars. Everything that we tried was phenomenal. If I had to pick two favorites, they'd be the Spanish Octopus and the Lomo Saltado. The octopus was spiced to perfection and so succulent. The fillet was tender, juicy and sauced perfectly. Everything else was authentic and delicious. This spot is unassumingly located on 26th and Wilshire. Easy to miss. But you should make an effort to get here for your next dinner out. You won't be sorry that you did!
Be the first to ReplyCute new spot on Wilshire! It's all self service you grab a
Cute new spot on Wilshire! It's all self service you grab a menu upon waking in and place your order at the counter, then grab your silverware and water and glasses and find a table! Decor is beautiful, eclectic and lots of plants Food and drinks are brought to you via a number given to you with your order- smart business set up for sure! Ensures quick service. We got the guac and tostadas, great flavor, wagyu beef taco which was great; pollo taco which was good but a bit on the bland and dry side - needed a good sauce on there but that's just me! My bf had the brisket sandwich and the house made pickles were forgotten but damn was that sandwich BOMB. I got a margarita made with mezcal instead of tequila and the mix was a little watery for my liking so I got a $7 house shot to add to it and voila! Perfect! You can see the meats smoking above the open flame stove top / grill and the seating area in the back is a very lovely vibe for a date night or drinks with friends! In the back there's also a bar you can directly order (just booze) from! I will say it's been insanely humid here in LA lately so that back patio area has zero breeze or fans or ac which cut our stay short as we were drilling sweat but such is summer in socal! The owner was walking (Jonah himself maybe? ) around checking in on tables which is always a nice, friendly relaxed touch. We'll definitely be back to try more items!
Be the first to ReplyThe ambiance alone draws you in; seeing all the sparkling
The ambiance alone draws you in; seeing all the sparkling lights with natural greenery. Ordering 1st then finding a spot has a unique approach to fine dining. Welcoming atmosphere, seeing the owner Tetris the tables around to accommodate the parties coming in. Great to see a hands on approach with greeting from all members.My mouth was saltivating before I even tasted the deliciousness I was about to encounter. The drinks were great, not heavy handed with alcohol but did the job.Elegant presentation with the food made it so desirable to taste. Flavourful with the right amount of touch. I cant say enough how fresh the sashimi Ahi tuna was. Crispy potatoes, seasoned to perfection. Chipotle cream corn had me wanting more!Definitely a hidden gem; Thursday a DJ was there fun, to engage everyone for karaoke Don't sleep on this place if you're seeking a classy, chill, vibe with amazing food!

Food was good but their execution for the concept and service was horrible. We waited for extra 30 mins to get our fries which were supposed to come with our sandwiches and the soft drink we ordered never even came after we asked for it 3 times. We gave up and left without getting it. Also, house picked vegetables were added with so much juice our sandwiches were swimming in it... Pity because place has a nice patio and good food, but service wasn't good and we could not enjoy our time there...
