    I dined here with a friend and, being from the Low country, was excited about the menu. The Sunday brunch was awesome. There was a variety of selections and the food did not disappoint. I’m looking forward to coming for dinner the next time I’m in town.

    We had a great experience at Joe’s last night. We had a 7:30 reservation, but the restaurant was backed up due to a busy night. We didn’t get seated till 8pm, which initially rubbed us the wrong way, but the Joe’s service team did an excellent job making up for it. The host who brought us to the table apologized and made a clear effort to get us seated as soon as possible, and our server was on top of it all night. The food was excellent as usual, everything fresh and made to perfection. The branzino was particularly delicious, not a single bone and cooked very well. The service finished strong by giving us dessert on the house, and the peanut butter and key lime pie were outstanding. Overall, great experience at Joe’s and a great example of how a restaurant can bounce back from an initial issue and still give us a great experience. Will definitely be going back
