    We hosted a birthday, that halfway through service turned into a double birthday. Both birthday men got a personalized card n cake. Between the 2 lovely hostsess who greeted us and our server Eric the evening was an absolute delightful success. They made us feel welcomed, and Eric was so attentive and amazing as he served 17 people. We will definitely be coming back soon Oh, and the food was amazing. Definitely take advantage of the trio dip they usually serve about four people, but they are amazing, mouthwatering, and will have you coming back for more .

    Getting our table was a bit chaotic. There isn’t much room to wait by the hostess stand. And I would have preferred a table further from the front doors, but everything from then on out was aces. Service was friendly and professional. The fried chicken and waffles were delicious. The maple bourbon syrup makes the dish. Will definitely return!

    My husband and I and three friends once again celebrated our Christmas lunch at Joe's and it never disappoints. The four of us sea food lovers split between the grilled seafood platter (lobster tails, shrimp, and scallops) and the crab cakes, which we all agreed were outstanding and portions large enough we all took about half of our entrees home. The eight once filet mignon, was a hit with my husband. Sides of creamed spinach, roasted Brussel sprouts, potatoes Lyonnaise, were wonderful. The complementary bread basket contains a variety of several different small rolls, all freshly made. An extensive wine list complimented our meals. Desserts we tried included key lime pie, a golden ice cream sunday, and peppermint ice cream with fudge sauce. Joe's is justly well known for it's delicious pies. Service was attentive, friendly, but not obtrusive. This is a classic steak house and seafood establishment with a wonderful ambience of dark wood and elegance. However, it is expensive and they are adding an additional 3 percent to the check for "rising costs", though you can ask them to remove that charge. The menu is traditional, not for those looking for an adventurous eating experience.
