    Joe’s was recommended from co-workers. I took my partner for his birthday since Italian food is his favorite. He said it was a wonderful experience and I agree.

    Perry's is the kind of restaurant that every neighborhood should have: straightforward comfort menu with just enough options, no up-charges or "mandatory tips," and no stupid time-limit on how long you have to eat dinner. Marcos was our waiter and he managed great service even though he had several other tables that were keeping him busy. When eating outside, the exceptional clam chowder and onion soup help you fell warm fall over. I will dine here until they, or I, go out of business.

    Went to Wilder SF for Christmas dinner. My wife had the prime rib special and I had the pork chop dinner. Both were amazing. The pork chop had a wonderful sweet and salty flavor—no complaints on anything! We did the roast cauliflower for an app and they were super thoughtful of my allergies and skipped the flash fry since calamari goes in it (seafood allergy) and let us know it would take just a touch longer. Appreciated the safety and communication. We finished with affogato for dessert which is served in a waffle cone. A little twist on a classic. I wouldn’t normally like a waffle cone with it but it made it perfect to split with my spouse who really enjoys that part. Great place. Can’t wait to go back.
