    I came in from Chicago to visit my daughter. I took her and her roommate to dinner. It was last minute so many places were booked and we found Japanese opened up. And it was the most delicious food. The service was amazing. And the atmosphere was super charming. A great area to go out too

    Jônt delivers an unforgettable dining experience with meticulous attention to detail and outstanding customer service. 🌟 Their Valentine’s Day menu was spectacular, filled with lively surprises during the desserts that made the evening truly special. 🍰✨ Every bite was absolutely delicious, and I loved receiving a commemorative menu as a thoughtful keepsake. That said, a couple of things stood out: 🎶 The music choices were… puzzling. Some songs felt completely out of place for such an upscale experience. Not sure what vibe they were aiming for, but it didn’t quite fit the ambiance. 🍽️ The menu size was a struggle. I knew it would be a lot of food, but I was completely full halfway through. I can’t imagine how some guests opt for extra bites—I couldn’t even enjoy dessert properly. A shorter menu option would be a fantastic addition. Honestly, if the menu remains this extensive, I wouldn’t return despite how amazing the food was. It’s just too much, even for a tasting experience. But if you’re ready for an epic culinary journey and can handle the volume, Jônt is truly top-tier. 🥂
