Food was flavorful but very heavy. But space between seats were too crowded.....I think this place is a montreal classic so first time is an experience but just the food probably won't get me go back again

The restaurant is super cute! The appetizers were a little mid, but the entrées were absolutely delicious - honestly some of the best steak I've had.

With that said, the consistency in service was lacking. We saw servers taking shots with guests at the table next to us, & at one point we also saw the chef outside drinking wine with guests. While that atmosphere can definitely be fun & adds to the vibe, it seemed to impact the flow of service because our food ended up taking over two hours to come out - & when it finally arrived, it was cold.

I completely understand it was a busy weekend, especially with Grand Prix crowds, but consistency is key. If staff has time to socialize & drink with guests, the kitchen & service timing should still remain a priority for the rest of the restaurant. Great food & a fun atmosphere can absolutely coexist - but service still has to feel organized & consistent.

Overpriced bad food!

The filet mignon's texture is mushy, dried, & cold. It feels like some low-quality, unfresh meat. For $89 per 6oz serving, I expect the meat will be cooked perfectly & of top-notch quality.

The bread served with escargot is hard & chewy; scallop soup is lumpy & lukewarm; the double down foie gras is just two pieces of hard bread which barely has any foie gras; duck breast sliced into 6 thin pieces serves with breakfast sausage; the meat is cold, covered by a gluey sauce; the presentation is disastrous.

Asparagus is cold, & the cheese sauce on top is cold too. Maybe it's supposed to be cold? But it is weird to serve as a side of a meat course.

Quality to price is too far off.
You will get better quality, at a better price, at the Keg.

We were very anxious to dine @Joe Beef & the meal did not disappoint- only negative comment is that the hostess swooped up our wine glass off the table - as she did this she didn't acknowledge us in any way - I am sure that I still had a sip left in my glass - she did this three different times without a word to us or glancing at us which we were left feeling insignificant on many levels. Our server & the food were everything we could have expected from this sought out restaurant in Montreal. I would hope that management would have a word with her after this review. It's important as a customer to feel acknowledged.

It lived up to its reputation - the food was awesome. We started with oysters & clams as well as the smoked meat croquettes - all tasty. We ordered 3 mains (lobster spaghetti, cod & beef filet) & they were all very delicious. Finished off with a cheese plate featuring some great Quebec cheeses. Recommend.

Alot of people told me to come here & try it, I wasn't disappointed per se but it wasn't as good as everyone made it out to be, I had the duck, foie gras, & tar tar, I found the portion of duck to be small for the price point. The foie gras & tar tar were good sized I shared them with my partner, but I found the prices of the mains to be much on the higher end. Good food & service but not sure I'd come back due to the prices
