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.

• Contemporary American • Noe Valley

We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly gracious host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there. Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

Dining area is more open after renovations which include outdoor dining. Clams in wine broth were delicious, as was the Butternut Squash soup & Marsala Fish dinner. Service excellent, street parking always a challenge. A bit more noisy with the open decor.

The seasonal Brown Butter Roasted Persimmon was delicious. The entrees were good, as they usually are. The cannoli with pistachios is a great dessert.

We love Firefly! The food is always delicious and they are extremely vegan friendly. We can go out for a meal and have several options to choose from. The service is always great; we really like the people who work there and the atmosphere is lovely. It’s perfect for a date night or a fun meal with friends. Firefly is our favorite local spot and it’s a treat to come back again and again.

I always love going here! Both the Northbeach location and Westlake are run so efficiently! The service and the food is always excellent, though they did let me down today! I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad and it was soggy and lackluster in flavor- I found gristle in a few of the chicken pieces. I have to say it’s the only thing I’ve ever had from Joes that was a disappointment . Perhaps they should consider taking it off the menu if they can’t execute it well?
