Food was fine, but pay attention to the receipt: the “math” that they include to “help” with your tip is 100% wrong so that could easily tip more than you should.

The place is inviting, the Cure Burger was okay, the drinks were very good, and the service was uncomfortably attentive.

Waitress was cool, the food was good, but the hostess and bartender was not kind, we were taken to a high top, but we request for a regular table, they said we can take you back to the door and you can wait, while there were 3 regular tables open.

We were trying to get into a restaurant our hotel recommended but they were over-booked with a wait list of reservations. So we kept walking and found Joe's. I told my husband if they had lobster mac and cheese I was sold, he did not see the lobster add-on but I was pleasantly surprised when we went in and they had it. The lobster mac and cheese was fantastic, with sufficient lobster for the noodles, the drinks were great, service was friendly and fast, and our water never ran out. I would go back.

On weekdays at noon, I walked in without making a reservation and got a seat. It seemed about 70% full.The ten-hour prime rib (in vernacular) with fries is not bad. It tastes very American, very much like the meals you would eat at American restaurants like Fridays. Because I wanted to eat vegetables, I added some side dish. Cauliflower? was the most boring and unpalatable dish this time. It was blanched with no seasoning and was cooked very soft.Although the Qiaoda soup is a bit salty, it has a lot of ingredients and is super delicious. The shrimp pasta (also in the vernacular) was also delicious. The shrimps were crispy and delicious. However, because the Qiaoda soup was too big, I couldn’t eat it in the end. I asked the restaurant to bring a take-out box back to the hotel to heat it up in the evening and continue eating.Also some sparkling wine would be nice.A meal for two people includes a soup, a glass of wine, a seafood pasta, and a meat dish, which costs about US$92 including tax (excluding tip).

During busy times, the restaurant handles its many tables and staff well, making sure customers have a smooth dining experience. However, the food, while decent, falls into the realm of typical American fare, lacking any standout flavors or creativity. The Baja fish tacos, seem overpriced considering their quality. Despite this, the overall experience remains satisfactory, with attentive service and a pleasant atmosphere contributing to a generally enjoyable visit. Credit cards accepted.

This place has a great location and decided to stop for our first meal in town. The seating is overlooking Newberry street and despite the many people and close proximity to the street, we felt cozy! The servers were also kind and accommodated us to the top spaces rather than the basement restaurant. They always had a smile on their face and were very attentive asking if we needed anything! The clam chowder was great! However, it is quite filling and dense, so I'd say it can be your main course. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star review was because we didn't get to try more dense entrees. The salads were also delicious and fresh! I would love to go back to try more food varieties on the menu!

Very good food. The clam chowder in a bread bowl was very good. I tried the chicken waffle which was very good. The crab Benedict was very good too. Good service. The restaurant is bright if you eat upstairs.
