one of the nicest waterfront tables near the North End. You can not reserve the outdoor seats though....
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review and 5-star rating. Comments like yours make our day. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you and your family again very soon.
Servers were short handed. Took 25 min before anyone took drink order. Staff was very polite they just need more help
Guest comments like yours are important to us for a number of reasons. They help us stay focused on our goal of serving only the best we can. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We hope you’ll come back and dine with us sometime soon.
Service was excellent,location is really nice on Boston Harbor. My fish and chips was good,spinach and Artichoke dip was really delicious. The ribs were just ok. Fries really crispy and tasty too.
I would recommend this restaurant for a casual dinner.

Impressive operation…they just seem to do things right.
We couldn’t be more pleased about your experience. Thank you for sharing your comments. We appreciate hearing from you and hope to have the chance to serve you again soon!
It took 30 minutes for our drinks to come. Three weeks ago, my sister and I waited an hour for a server to approach our table after four trips to the host. Awful management.

Your experience is truly important to us, as our goal is to live up to our exceptional standards.

Yaya was our charming, diligent, friendly hostess/waitress. She made a lovely evening perfect. Ask for her. She’s a bit psychic because she brings things you want before you know you need them.

We had a bachelorette party in Boson and Joe’s was fabulous about getting us seated and accommodated quickly. Food and drinks were amazing!
Thank you for the great feedback. We try really hard to provide a good experience and are really happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
The service was attention, the location just lovely on Commercial Wharf. We had cocktails, oysters, chowder, seafood bouillabaisse. It all hit the spot.
Thank you for leaving such a nice review. We are glad that you and your family loved our services, our dedicated staff will be pleased to learn of your high praise. Thanks again for your kind words!
Service was great and all ten of us liked our dinner. We are a group of 12 and had made 2 reservations but when the staff found out , they made sure we could all be together. Great location, view and atmosphere
We are so grateful for your 5-star review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us!
Wonderful waterfront table was a great start! Loaves of hot fresh bread arrived and Alex was a happy-to-be-there waiter.
Every dish was perfect from the simplest Mac n cheese or burger to the fabulous lobster roll, steak frites to the crab haddock. Every one was expecting good, hoping for better and received the best. It was a great experience
We’re happy you are satisfied with the quality of your experience with us. It means a lot! Thank you for reviewing us!

We arrived and were seated…and after 15 minutes with no waiter I asked the host if we were perhaps lost in the hand off. He said he would get some one over…and after another 5
Food was good at Joe’s. Nothing fancy but good. We enjoyed the view and service.

Excellent food, wonderful service, and warm atmosphere!
It was a pleasure having you dine with us. Thanks so much for your positive feedback. We look forward to your next visit!
It took a full 18 minutes to be greeted at my table. Other than that everything was fine…..but it really puts a damper on the meal when you feel ignored. There were waiters and waitresses all around us but they did not have the time to help out I guess. A Better team work system needed here. My two cents as a foodie.

Amazing service great food!!
Thank you for your 5-star rating!
The view, the service, and the food are all amazing! You get what you paid for!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to serve you again soon.
Would have given the food a rating of 5 but the portobello mushroom burger was breaded and deep fried. This should have been specified on the menu. It was good, but not at all what I was expecting and I would have ordered something else had the description been accurate.
Food was delicious! We ordered the lobster and the honey chicken salad and both were great! Our waitress was very kind and attentive even though the place was packed. Beautiful views of the water, especially if you are able to snag a table outside or facing a window!
Thank you for your kind words and 5-star rating!
Although we had the luck to have a table outside on the waterfront, our waiter didn't take good care of us and didn't show any enthusiasm.

From out of town, the food was good and arrived quickly to the table. Not sure if they were short staffed or not but wait staff could have been better.
As proud as we are of our food and service, we are always looking for ways to improve. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to incorporating it into how we move forward. Thank you for your review.
I reserved a table for two for outside seating. When I got there they told me that I had to wait 30 minutes for a table outside so we were sat inside and the AC was blasting so we were so cold we had to rush and eat to leave.
I felt the bar drinks were overpriced compared to neighboring restaurants in the Boston area. The restaurant appeared dirty. The chairs were messy. It's okay but overpriced and looks a bit tired
