    This restaurant is magnificent. You just need to make a reservation several hours in advance and you can get good seats. My seats were right beside a window through which the federal department building was visible. The atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely good and the waiter was super nice. We ordered crab cake, ribeye steak, seafood pasta, and New England clam chowder. All of them were very delicious. Price is not very high ($50~60 each person) compared with many other famous restaurants in DC. I would highly recommend it to other travelers.

    Always a great experience. Whether you’re dining for lunch and getting the Ribeye sandwich or enjoying an elegant dinner, Joe’s has never disappointed. I highly enjoyed the lamb chops—and the service was great, too. Fantastic spot.
