After a two-year closure, Original Joe's, San Francisco’s quintessential Italian-American dining destination, revitalized iconic Daly City institution Joe’s of Westlake, and reintroduced it into the community as Original Joe’s Westlake. An anchor of Daly City from 1956 to 2014, Original Joe’s Westlake underwent an extensive two-year renovation, complete with a front-to-back interior remodel, including the kitchen and all dining spaces, and an exterior and landscaping overhaul. Following the Original Joe’s tradition, Westlake continues to prepare unpretentious, old-school Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. The menu is carefully crafted to reflect a past-meets-present hybrid of what Joe’s of Westlake used to be and what Original Joe’s Westlake is today.

    Evoking the spirit of the original Joe’s of Westlake, the newly renovated restaurant transports guests to Westlake circa 1960. Boasting Sputnik lighting, terrazzo flooring and redwood accents throughout, Original Joe’s Westlake elicits mid-century America in the likes of Palm Springs, Beverly Hills and Las Vegas. The newly reimagined Cascade Room features show-stopping pimento orange banquettes, and offers a variety of options for large gatherings—from private rehearsal dinners and memorial receptions, to smaller non-private family dinners, class reunions and birthday celebrations. With beautiful custom sliding doors, the Cascade Room can be divided in half, creating two fully private event spaces, accommodating up to 50 guests each.

    The variety of entrees are outstanding. The sides are very good. My filet mignon was grilled to perfection. Service was great, fast. Nice presentation of food on plate. Waiter was very polite and attentive. I had reservations and was seated right away.

    I love Joes!!! But they really need to learn how to cook veal. I keep giving it a try hoping I’ll be able to cut with a fork but it was tough again. I’m giving up on the veal. Luckily there are many other delicious options.

    Service started off great, but the lack of attention to small details got worse. The waitress was very slow, unprofessional and left us without service for 20-30 minutes. We had to get other staff members to get our water replenished, new utensils and our finished dishes taken away. Some of the food orders were wrong and bland. Been to Joe’s of Westlake plenty of times and the quality of services has gone down! My family and I will look elsewhere for better service. Their prices doesn’t justify their lack of service and professionalism.
