"We went for Easter and the eggs were cooked poorly. We all had eggs, some were overcooked, and others undercooked. I expected better from a place like Joe's. On non-holiday weekends, brunch has been spectacular."

"Our server, Layla, was outgoing, accommodated our questions and had great recommendations. From creative drinks to tasty pizza to oh so fresh pasta and desserts we had a great evening. My favorites were taglietelle bolognese, an Aperol spritzer and a can desert with salted caramel. We will definitely be back!"

"An excellent restaurant and certainly a neighborhood gem. It's fine dining and worth every penny. Joe made it easy to dine there more often with his famous Prix Fixe at an unbeatable $19 for lunch and less than $50 for dinner. You still get served like his regular menu - creative plating and not a morsel/ ounce less for the food.
I had lunch there with 3 other ladies. One of the was on a vegan diet, and even she was so impressed with her salad. All of them raved about the great find - fine dining at prix fixe!
Rating - I gave 4 stars for service because the food was slow. The restaurant (inside) was almost full - can't tell if the outdoor dining is also full. But Remington was a great waiter. We tipped well though we didn't order much."

"I went to Joe's for Easter 2012 brunch. I have gone to that restaurant about 4-6 times a year since it opened.

This was the first time I was disappointed. The food took more than 45 minutes to arrive--the waiter was so embarrassed we received additional deserts. Unfortunately they were not up to par.

I've had enough great meals at Joe's that I will not abandon ship yet, but it was a disappointing surprise."

"Joe's is always letter perfect. Jidori chicken so tender and moist; lentils w/lamb ragout outstanding, jazz friday was nice -- but a little loud if you're on the patio, even tho' instrumentation was acoustic. We brought in our Blackboard Eats special -- free bottle of wine and a free dessert - ordered three appetizers and shared one entree -- with our tip, split between two people -- $46. A deal for superb food and service. And the bottle of wine was MY FAVE, Pinot Noir, delicious vineyard (wish I could remember its name, I'd go buy a bunch of it! I think it was barrique.)"

"We arrrived 12 minutes early. The place was packed and there was nowhere to wait for our table. The hostess suggested we go for a walk. At our appointed time the table was still not read.We were offered a table in the back area instead. We were told the live band. wouldn't be loud or intrusive.The band ruined our chances of talking, made 6 announcements to buy their CD (even when they assured us that we would not have to move into the main dining room due to the frequent sales pitches over the mike. The drummer fell into his symbols and drums spilling wine everywhere. I complained but nothing was done to stop the droning announcements and sales pitches. Never would have taken my classy friend to such a classless venue on her birthday."
