About Jônt

Upstairs from Bresca, the room is an L-shaped counter facing an open kitchen, and the playlist leans on hip hop at a volume that splits opinion: some guests call the evening fun and lively, others say it competes with the food. The menu is long and mostly fish and seafood, opening with snacks such as wagyu tartare on a gamtae chip and closing on richer plates like quail and duck. It changes often, and both the wine and non-alcoholic pairings earn repeat praise, as does a coffee-led omakase run as a special event. Service is the constant in reviews, with servers described as intuitive and generous with tastes. Dinner runs Wednesday to Sunday, from 5:30pm most nights and 4pm on Saturday, and a few guests find the stools hard over three hours. Google rates it 4.7 from roughly 330 reviews, and pricing is top of the city.
