"THis was my first time here. We had a nice, relaxing Easter brunch. I thought they would have a special menu for Easter, but they didn't. All the same, it was great food for a great price."

"Food was quite good. Service was fine. The real issue was being seated in a section opposite the kitchen...gloomy describes it best. Our table needed de-greasing then refinishing. Other parts of the restaurant were airy and more appealing."

"Went to Joe's later on in the evening on a Monday and had a very quiet dinner. I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere and the food was great. I would recommend either the mash potato bar or their burgers. Awesome neighborhood spot and will definitely be back very soon."

"Joe's Garage has excellent food. However, the acoustics are such that it is extremely loud. We were seated upstairs, just inside the rooftop bar access. The door to the rooftop was open, but it was really hard to hear each other due to the busy Friday night. Prior dining experiences downstairs in the bar with few other customers had much better noise levels. As I mentioned, it was a busy Friday night. I am more than willing to give servers the benefit of the doubt when I choose to dine at a peak time. However, we had to wait long periods of time between placing our drink and food orders. We tried to catch our server's eye multiple times but he was too busy to notice. I even had to grab a water pitcher to refill our waters."

"The hostess forgot to log as in as an Open Table reservation. The food it good, but it's EXTREMELY loud inside. Not a good place to carry on a conversation."
