The food was phenomenal. I ordered the grilled swordfish cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the lamb chops, which were also cooked medium perfectly. We started with the pink dragon roll which was too spicy for my wife, but I enjoyed. The espresso martini was dangerously delicious. We topped it off with both thr hazelnut cake and the peanut butter and jelly cake. Both were very good, but we were too stuffed to finish. We will definitely be back to try more of this amazing menu!

We love Joe's. Though, we noticed the portions have gotten smaller and the prices continue to rise. It will eventually mean we cannot come anymore. Are you still adding that weird covid tax? Please stop. Thank you.
