    Great service and ambiance. Took my sister here for her birthday dinner last night. I got an email earlier this week asking for the name of the person we were celebrating and what milestone birthday it was, which I appreciated and happily provided. Although the gesture was greatly appreciated, they didn’t provide anything specific so unsure what that info was needed for. Anyhow, upon arrival, our server acknowledged we were there for a special occasion which added a nice personalized touch. One minor thing is that we wished our food didn’t come out SO quickly lol but overall everything was fantastic. Service was great and we noticed how happy the staff all seemed to be working there. Will certainly be back!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience at Joe's! We went there expecting a very special dinner and celebration for our daughter's 21st birthday and it did not disappoint. I'd especially like to point out our service, as service can make or break an experience. Our server was EXCELLENT. He was so attentive, knowledgeable, kind and went out of his way to make sure our daughter felt celebrated. Our daughter also has Celiac Disease, and he was so in step with what she could/could not have even double checking with the kitchen on the squash casserole--which it turned out she could have and was one of the food winners of the night! Joe's is a special restaurant with very high prices, yet when the service and quality of the food were like they were last night, it was priceless to us! Wish I could remember the name of our waiter, as I'd like to thank him again for making our night memorable.
