The food here is insane! From the bread to the olive oil and olive dip they give to go with it…so good. I had the ravioli and my husband the lasagna and they were outstanding! This is a new favorite I now have. The only thing I don’t love, but it is just what is, is the closeness of tables and noise level. However, I would sit with someone else to get a table here! Make reservations!!!

The experience was good! Our setback had nothing to do with the restaurant- road closures required our Lyft to drop us off 4 blocks away. Security issues, no fault of Joe’s.

The food was impeccable, creative, and elegant. Familiar flavours that came together in a completely unique way, with a wonderful balance of textures and flavours. The staff and service were also very attentive, personable, and hospitable. Every detail of care and service was attended to. And it was a good amount of food, which is not always the case in fine dining — I was struggling to fit in my jeans at the end!
