    First time for brunch and Joe’s did not disappoint. I had eggs over hash with salad. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the salad was delicious. It’s such a fun lively place with large windows for plenty of natural light.

    My friend and I had a fabulous experience. We loved the food, the service was great and the ambiance was wonderful. Truly a San Francisco restaurant delight. It was my friend's birthday and our server, Susan S., was perfect. Loved her attention to detail and easy friendliness. She brought our dessert with a huge candle - like a fireworks. It was a nice surprise. Thank you very much for a memorable time! We will tell all our friends!

    First time here on a Friday for lunch, really nice restaurant and bar. Service was really good, I had the Chicken Pot Pie and my friend had the chicken parm, both excellent!

    I would say the little gem Caesar is one of the best I have had. We didn’t get the pizza as my friend had recommended and that was probably a mistake. But our meals were good. The spaghetti and meatballs were flavorful and delicious. Maybe serve it rather than letting it sit on the warmer? The French dip was super…and huge. The Brussel sprouts were a huge disappointment. The server didn’t say anything as the dish was full when it was taken away (we each had one and left the rest). I guess il we should have noted it to him. Overall, we will go back. Just not getting the Brussel sprouts.

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Costumer service was INCREDIBLE! Our friends got lost so were late getting to the reservation time, but the hostess was so kind and seated us anyway. Our Server was incredible, kind and so attentive. The food was OUTSTANDING! We will be back when we visit San Fran again!
