She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, gave us great recommendations, got every single thing right, and was attentive without ever being overbearing. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. The food?! We had lobster, crab legs, shrimp and pasta, swordfish, and grouper -- basically, we worked our way through the seafood menu and everything was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavorful, generous portions, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. Great food + great service + great prices = a definite win. We will absolutely be back!

Four of us entered the restaurant at 7:25 whereupon the first four employees we encountered (not our server or the hostess, just random employees) curtly informed us that the kitchen closes at 8:00. OK, so should we leave? We were starving but should have! Four crappy meals later, all previously frozen seafood that was poorly prepared, and lighter by $200, we regretted ever walking through the door. Let our lesson be yours and save yourself the trouble and expense. By way of comparison and not because we have any stake in it, we spent ten dollars less two nights later and had four great meals at O'Bricks downtown. Oh, and an extra round of drinks for the ladies.

Two pleasant young women (both with long pony tails) work the room. Service is so so: trying for good five minutes to tell the server (seeing her come and go) that the Pinot noir turned; my cab is ok. "How old is this bottle?" She said, "normally is less than a week." Oh well. Their stems are not bad. Two little kids, a boy and a girl are behind the bar counter. I've mixed feelings for kids in a work place ... Foods are fine: Thai lettuce Wrap - minced pork on the sweet side; have to ask for spicy sauce Sashimi style dinner - ok Spicy tuna roll - something crunchy which makes the roll interesting A Caucasian man comes and goes in the bar counter, sporting 'vineyard vines' t shirt . I'm between foods, so I googled it: not a vineyard but a clothing store. Oh well, just learnt one more thing today: thanks. Bathroom door lock - push in.

Tucked away in a dumpy strip mall was this gem of a place! Cutely decorated & very small & clean - including the bathroom! We enjoyed lunch & shared Chicken Basil & Chicken Ginger. We asked for hot spice & while the food was very delish, we wished it was a little hotter. It gave a little tingle but that's it. They offer additional spice you can add yourself which is what we'll do next time. The owner was so nice & friendly. Drinks are limited to soda, beer, & wine. Large portions too! We'll be back for sure!

I think the 6oz White should have been $11 which is what I think I saw on their board. I was charged way over what the total should have been. My warning is, be careful with what they charge you for and verify it.

We ordered entrees and an appetizer before remembering the portion sizes. We ordered an extra large take-home container after our order came and seeing that the portions were still very generous.

He made the time to sit and catch up on our lives and his while feeding funny antidotes and jokes throughout our visit. We quickly realized it will be well worth the weekly visit. We highly recommend everything about Joe's place from it's quirky atmosphere, old time music videos playing on the flat-screen TV to the wonderful food and of course Joe's witty conversation.
