    Food was incredible and service was above par. Ask for Laura. She suggested the best wine, accommodated our dietary restrictions, and recommended the best meals. Our group had a great time passing around plates and trying to see whose was best. They all had such unique flavor! We will be back for the food and especially Laura!

    We had an amazing time. We learned of Joe Beef from an Anthony Bourdain special last year, and in March of this year we learned we were going to move here. We’ve been planning to go here since we arrived in August, and were finally able to make it. It was everything we hoped it would be, and we were able to try some amazing dishes. Staff are extremely attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely the first of many visits while we live here.
