Booked 108 times today
After a two-year closure, Original Joe's, San Francisco’s quintessential Italian-American dining destination, revitalized iconic Daly City institution Joe’s of Westlake, and reintroduced it into the community as Original Joe’s Westlake. An anchor of Daly City from 1956 to 2014, Original Joe’s Westlake underwent an extensive two-year renovation, complete with a front-to-back interior remodel, including the kitchen and all dining spaces, and an exterior and landscaping overhaul. Following the Original Joe’s tradition, Westlake continues to prepare unpretentious, old-school Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. The menu is carefully crafted to reflect a past-meets-present hybrid of what Joe’s of Westlake used to be and what Original Joe’s Westlake is today.

    Our first visit to this iconic restaurant. We had reservations and were seated right away in the dining room with the fireplace. Charming! Our server was friendly and efficient. He didn’t rush us. We had the chicken parmigiana and the veal piccata. Both were lovely. A wonderful meal and we’ll be back.

    We were impressed with everything at Amoura in South San Francisco. Lighting was just right. Not noisy! Service was outstanding. Cocktails were unique - and tailored to our non-sweet tastes. Falafel was the best we have ever had. Excellent hummus and babaganough. Tabouleh was superb! My wife's lamb kebabs were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Very succulent. My lamb shank (which seems to be a popular item at this place) was meat-falling-off-the bone good. Baklava was very good. And the price was surprisingly reasonable. This place is worth a visit!

    Our food was good, but we waited half an hour to get our food. We were celebrating a birthday, and was told that our server would do something. They forgot and I preferred not to ask a second time :(
