Joes is normally one of our favorite restaurants as we like to visit for our anniversary, birthday’s and other special occasions m. This visit was for my husbands‘s birthday and the service was very poor. 1. We wanted to order our favorite appetizer “The Whale” but our server kept disappearing 2.
I ordered the filet mignon but it came to the table with no steak knife. I had to sit and wait for about 20 minutes. I finally got one from a passing server 3. We ordered a Caesar salad and wanted cracked black pepper but again our server was not attentive and disappeared. 4. Usually the staff is very attentive when empty dishes are on the table after which they’re taken away quickly. But again this was not the case on this visit. I was so disappointed that I skipped my favorite dessert Keylime pie and my husband even passed on the complementary birthday dessert.

Always great! Raw oysters were tiny and might not order again
Out of crab claws was a bummer.

A wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.

Joes is consistently an outstanding experience all the way around!
Staff is super friendly, fun and knowledgeable.
Food is delicious! Well prepared, served in a timely fashion and
portion sizes are generous.
It our go to for everyday dining or the most special occasions!

Amazing food and service. A bit pricey but worth the splurge.

Mary our server was wonderful. Very informative but not pushy.

Our family had a fabulous pre theatre dinner. The oysters were delicious. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her King Crab Louis salad and a crab cake appetizer. My son thought his cheeseburger was one of the best ever. My clam chowder was average at best. Also, for $48 I thought the snapper with lobster was fresh but not remarkable. The lobster topper was a bit overcooked. Next time, I would just pay up for the stone crab. Unfortunately, they were out of the small and select sizes. Our service was outstanding, and for a big open space we found it quiet enough to enjoy our meal while taking in the surrounding view. All in all a fabulous dining experience.

The level of service Joe's provides is outstanding. The menu is broad, as is the wine list. The Sommelier, Sara, was a great help with our selection. Our server, Chris S, did a great job. It has been a long while since we'd been, and it was good to see familiar faces on the floor

As always, the food and service were excellent! Haven't been here in 2 years (last time was pre-pandemic) and the prices have skyrocketed! I understand that there are supply chain and staffing issues, which have bumped restaurant prices, but it was pretty shocking.

Our service was absolutely delightful and wonderful, and every course of food was fantastic. Excellent evening.

I was so happy to return for a meal at Joe’s. It was my first one since 2019. While there were a very few minor changes, my overall experience was just as I remembered. And the stone crabs were delicious.

Joe's Seafood was an absolutely amazing experience! I ordered the Seafood platter and it was all fresh and delicious! The staff is extremely well-versed into making recommendations and was very attentive at all times! Truly magnificent, I would go again!

Seriously so good. I had the filet with king crab. Cutting into the filet was like a warm knife through butter. Flavor was decadent. Crab was so good and they took it all out for me so made it easy. The real star here though was the A+ service from Chris. Really appreciated his skill at being there when needed as well as knowing it was my husband’s birthday we were celebrating (restaurants don’t always pay attention to the notes you made in your reservation but Chris did). Loved everything about our visit here.

Amazing as always. Busy but again very good on a Saturday night. Our server Sean M made several recommendations and preferred menu items which helped greatly. They brought over a wine specialist Dan whom also was extremely helpful. My wife and I have dined there probably 12 times over the past 3 years....every time more enjoyable than the last. The GM, Paul always comes to greet us. Joe's goes above and beyond to try and exceed your expectations and make every experience lasting!

The service was good, the ambience was appropriate for the occasion. The food portions left some thing to be desired as compared to the cost. The menu needs to incorporate items friendly towards vegetarians, and halal-food consumers.

Amazing service, excellent food. Family friendly

49th anniversary , our favorite Dover sole

Joe’s is as good as ever! Over the top service, “old school”ambiance, and quality food! Al the ingredients for a tremendous restaurant!

Wonderful all around!!!

The noise level has been very high in the past but we sat in a booth on the perimeter and it was not a packed dinning room

I treated my visually impaired cousin for his birthday. The hostess, didn't get his name was superb in accommodating us. All I can say about our server is that she is unmatched. Literally the best server I've ever had! Bless you Denise! Thank you for taking great care of my cousin and I last night

The stone crab and oysters were amazing, and I would go back for the seafood. However our bone in rib eye was undercooked and raw. We asked for medium rare, and had them cook it for a bit longer, but then it came out almost well done. Not impressed with the steak and would not order steak here again. The staff was incredibly friendly and the ambience was amazing though!

Excellent!!!!! Everything excellent! The food feels fresh, the service was awsome!!! I definitely come back !

An amazing birthday experience!

What a fantastic way to spend my birthday. Shawn, our maitre'd was simply fantastic. Every recommendation he had was spot on, from the Prime Rib to the Beef Wellington, and Crab Bisque, my wife and my dining experience was perfection. To top it off, he brought out two slices of their famous pies on the house for my birthday. Wonderful. This was our first trip to the Chicago Joe's as we've frequented the location in D.C., but we will definitely be back soon. Thanks, Shawn (and Joe's) for a memorable birthday!

My partner and I had a lovely time at Joe’s. Sean was our server and he was a highlight. He was knowledgeable, attentive and charming. The food was amazing as well; I had the scallops and my partner had the bone-in ribeye. His ribeye was a little under cooked for his liking but the situation was easily remedied and they were able to throw the steak back on for a few minutes. We are definitely looking forward to returning, both for the food and to hopefully see Sean again!

Great location with excellent food and service. Everything is a la carte and quite expensive.

The food was fantastic and our server Denise was awesome. She made for a very enjoyable dinner.

Service was excellent as always, sat in the bar as we love that it’s lively. Food was very good

We’ve been here twice now and had a wonderful experience each time. We celebrated a birthday on our last visit and were pleasantly surprised to receive a dessert of our choice on the house.
Our experience was top notch from the moment we were seated until we walked out the door with our leftovers. Our waitperson was awesome, but unfortunately we forgot her name. She was knowledgeable about the specials and described everything in a manner that could make a person want to try everything.
Be sure to make reservations because this is a very busy location. You won’t be disappointed.

I was celebrating someone really special to me birthday and it was the best decision ever to dine here. Everyone was so nice. The food was exquisite and the wine was magnificent.

Chris (waiter) and Dan (Somalia) were perfect! Can’t ask for a better overall experience. Food was off the chart and drinks were exceptional! Chris congrats on becoming a father in June 22’. Wishing you and your wife the best.

Denise was an outstanding server. The food was excellent.

Food and Service always top notch! That's why Joe's is my favorite restaurant in Chicago.

Our service was excellent. Food was good however noise level is very high

Always good with the most professional service. I will always go back.

We had a wonderful time at Joe’s. The food was delicious and we will be back again.
