    This was the most efficient service I have ever had. The food was served quick hot and very tasty. What else could you ask for from a restaurant.

    I really did not enjoy my experience here. This is for large groups; not meant for couples or solo patrons. It was packed in like sardines. I was afraid if I moved my elbow that I would be bumped by a server. I had someone so close behind me that I couldn’t even cross my legs. Right beside me I had a table of 12 to 14 people. Not that it was their fault but it was really loud. The food was alright. The vegetables were really good. However, I did not really enjoy my steak as it was not great quality. The scallops were good though and done perfectly and my lobster bisque was really good. I enjoyed the wine pairing as well. My server Roben was excellent. Very attentive and refilled my water glass often asking if I would like anything else. I was disappointed with my overall experience as I heard wonderful things about this place. It did not live up to the hype.

    I love Joe's and have been coming for years. I was a bit disappointed that there is now a time limit on a table to be honest. Also, having to eat quickly and leave was not great, and not reflected in the prices either.
