    What an incredible evening and experience! The food, the service and the attention to detail is well deserving of their Michelin rating. The pace was perfect for the amount of food, and the dessert bar was the perfect ending to a fantastic night! I hope to see the wood fire be more encorporated in the future!

    Phenomenal experience! The staff is phenomenal, the playlist is incredible, and I cannot stop thinking about the dessert (smoked sweet potato that will forever live in my mind as the bananas foster roasted marshmallow dessert bc that’s what came to mind when I tasted it). I am a savory person, so the fact that a dessert stands out that much says a lot for me. The staff’s knowledge and explanation of each dish was top tier. The lamb course was also a favorite. I have never had lamb that did not have a hint of gaminess. If I could drop by and order the smokey king crab rice as a stand alone dish, I would. To be able to see the food preparation helped me savor and appreciate each dish. I cannot say enough about Jônt. It should definitely have 3 Michelin stars! The creativity snd flawless execution of each course make this a must go to place. Can’t wait to return to see how the menu changes. Hats off to Chef Ryan and his dedicated staff. Everyone is personable and in sync. You can tell the staff care about each other and the customers.

    Probably the best fine dining experience I have had thus far. The introductory dishes and closing dessert flights really define this truly exceptional Michelin starred experience. I commend Chef Ryan and the team on their hard work, and extra effort they put into providing great service and a great menu. If you love seafood, and Japanese inspired flavors, Jont is well worth making an extra effort to visit.
