    Would recommend loose leaf tea rather than tea bags. Need more savory items. Food was average. Beautiful and great service. Expensive for what you get- recommend adding scones.

    The service was excellent from the moment we walked in until we left. The RL Burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had.The atmosphere was very appealing. We look forward to a return visit in the near future.

    Joe's never disappoints. The stone crab claws are always delicious. The salads--beet root and chopped lettuce, tomato, onion, and feta--were excellent and large-sized (shareable). And the crab cakes were all crab and the tuna perfectly cooked and plentiful. The service is attentive, but not intrusive, and very helpful in making menu decisions. And the ambience is nice--the tables and booths are nicely spaced so that, even when Joe's is crowded, which is all the times we have been there, it is possible for two people to have a conversation without having to yell across the table at each other. Joe's is on our regular rota of Chicago restos--pricey but worth the cost.

    Booked here at the last minute dinner was amazing. The pizza was very, very good. The short rib was Devine. We also had the charcuterie board and the apricot sauce should be jarred and sold in stores. It was amazing.
