    I always share the starters... sensational. I had for main course the blue fin tuna, astonishing, the best tuna I ever ate and the fennel salad was wonderfully complex and delicious. My friend had the falafel and he couldn't stop talking about it. It was his first time in my favorite restaurant. Kate waited on us and guided my friend through the menu. Impeccable evening.

    Cajun swordfish and scallops+shrimp were excellent as always. They've expanded their beer selection on tap to include some nice dark brews. Great for winter sipping. They were happy to customize our meals to accommodate our food preferences. Food is always served as soon as it is cooked.

    Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!
