    We have generally had good experiences at Joe's in the past, but this wasn't one of them. I ordered an extra rare burger that was delivered to the table medium to medium well. Our waitress was happy to return it, but the second burger wasn't much better (medium to medium rare). What I didn't understand is why no one from the management team ever showed up at our table to assist. My wife's meal was slightly better and our waitress was very responsive, so it was a mixed bag on this occasion.

    They had a promotion for Mondays so we went. You get a starter, 2 entrees from a limited menu and a dessert for $50. I ordered the ahi tuna wantons. The server returned saying they had no tuna. I got bang bang shrimp and it was very good. Our server didn’t have much to say. My wife got chicken parm, which was good. I got jambalaya, which was not. It was very spicy, but without Cajun spices, just a lot of pepper sauce, I suspect, with a mound of rice on top. So none of the flavor that makes it jambalaya. The shrimp in it was good, the chicken was tough. We took our dessert home.

    The food was not as good as before my family couldn’t finish their meal (Mediterranean pizza) and they are not feeling well today.

    We always enjoy NYAJ. The only glitch this time is that our Open Table reservation did not show in their system, but they easily accommodated us.

    We ate in the bar side in a booth. We usually do that because the dining room is very bright, a bit cafeteria like. Our waitress who was also the bartender was wonderful. I got the Waldorf salad with chicken which is always very good. My two friends both liked their salads too. One had salmon on hers and had it cooked as suggested by our waitress and it came out perfect. The martinis were made perfect. Really like this spot they never rush you and drinks and food are consistently good. Only drawback is the lighting/ambiance of main dining room way to bright.

    I was impressed to see a plant-based option on the Monday-Tuesday $50 dinner for 2, which is an excellent value. I very much enjoyed the Veggie Harvest Bowl. Besides 2 entrees, it included an appetizer as well as a large dessert to share. We had the Cauliflower Bites and The Peanut Butter Thing (ice cream cake). Everything was excellent! Lynn was a welcoming and attentive server. (The other option is 2 entrees and a bottle of wine for $50.)

    So disappointed with the quality of food at NYAJ’s. Use to love to go to their restaurants. My first date with my now wife was at one of their restaurants, celebrated many anniversaries with them and even had our wedding rehearsal dinner but IDK what has happened the past few years but the quality and drastically changed for the negative.
