    Amazing but expensive! We had a bit of everything, the food and service was outstanding, but it’s not somewhere we would go every week. We were 4 and the bill came up to 550$ plus tip no wine. We had some drinks and beer. One didn’t drink and barely ate. Definitely will be back.

    As usual , great food ! Good service for sure Fun drinks options. And OK wine list. Could have better local wines on their list Desserts are a fail. For that level restaurant , you need better quality and options. Rather expensive for what you get. Feeling more and more as a tourist trap …

    Everything was amazing. I can’t lie about that. However, it is very expensive. You can safely get a similar level of food and service at other locations. Even their other neighboring restaurants are at a similar level, but not as expensive. I would recommend it for sure, but just know that the bill will not be small.

    Phenomenal!! Our servers absolutely made our night, I loved every second of our experience! Every dish was divine and our server was so helpful with our wine selection. We really enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to everyone around us, the servers made us feel so welcome. What an amazing experience!

    What an amazing time we had celebrating my partner’s birthday at Joe Beef, the service was impeccable, everyone greeted us warmly and with a smile. A big thank you to Gabriel for being so attentive and a fabulous server, we’re already planning when we can come back for our next meal.
