We came here for Summerlicious as John & Sons had a delicious looking menu. The only time my friend was able to get on short notice was a 9pm Friday night. We were worried about our hunger so we tried to come in early to see if they could get us a table. Sadly they couldn't so we killed time having drinks elsewhere.
John & Sons is very cozy and cute. It's a small restaurant so I can see why they couldn't seat us. It was quite busy when we came around 7. I feel they are tucked in away compared to the other restaurants on Temperance St. We got seated in a corner booth which was nice. Our group started out with an assortment of oysters - tasted so fresh. We then went on with the Summerlicious meals. I tried both the octopus and salmon poke appetizer as friends and I wanted to try both. They were both very good apps to start. We all ordered the Arctic char. It was done nicely, not dry and the skin was nice and crispy. I do have to comment that most of us thought the vegetables were quite salty. For the dessert I had the sorbet - nothing special. The brownie and donuts I was told were mediocre as well.
I would probably come back to John and Sons when I'm craving for seafood. Overall, i felt the quality of the food was good.
