Se faire appeller de « rebeu » (!!!) par son serveur (masculin) durant son souper n'était pas l'idée que j'avais de ma soirée chez Joe Beef... Que l'on paie 300$+ ou 30$, ce terme ne devrait pas être utilisé envers une cliente.

Cela dit, la qualité des ingrédients & des plats était, en général, excellente. La bouteille de vin n'avait rien de spécial, & le service, en général, était adéquat. Mais en tant qu'ancienne habitante de Griffintown, j'avais très hâte de finalement aller à Joe Beef pour la première fois, mais le comportement de serveur a malheureusement ruiné cette expérience.

This place is next level. Good music. Happy servers. Incredible food. Great wine recs. Special place to go to celebrate for sure. If you're thinking about going, just go, you won't regret it.

Not a foodie but was absolutely worth the stop while we were in Montreal - may have been one of the most intentional, flavorsome meals in my life. Staff was kind & attentive. atmosphere was superb. Price worthwhile Would visit again.

Joe Beef was highly recommended but the overall quality was mid. Just didn't measure to my expectations. The staff was amazing & helpful. The atmosphere is very lively.

I have been looking to dine at Joe Beef for years. I could only get a reservation at Liverpool House the last time I visited Montreal in August of 2022, & based on how high that experience was, wanted to ensure I got in this round.

We got a reservation at 9:15 at the bar. Which really did not make a difference. We showed up a few minutes early but it was five minutes of servers & staff alike walking by us, obviously busy, without a smile or we'll be right with you. I work in hospitality & regardless of what you have in your hands or how busy you are, you greet, say hello, flash a smile & let the guest know we'll be right with you. But all members of the staff were more concerned with resetting tables than addressing that we were standing at the door for 5+ minutes. When the host finally greeted us she said they were setting it up. Another 15 minutes go by. When we finally get at the bar they were apologetic. The host with the long nails brought us an INCH of Prosecco each, but we appreciated the gesture anyways. The chairs seemed like one seat where they shoved two stools into, but we were determined to enjoy the night that we had been looking forward to regardless. She offered us martinis (which were not comped), & streamlined them making sure we got them right away that we appreciated.

It was a few minutes before we got offered water. They were obviously busy so we did not mind since we had a little bit of Prosecco in front of us. The chef on the oyster bar went into great depth about the specials.. he was kind but maybe a little flustered? Normally I love in-depth menus but it was almost overkill, & he was almost yelling at us? Unsure if they were drinking on but.. We got the shrimp cocktail which was good, tartare & snails were just okay. They were able to move us to a table but the service was inconsistent.

All members of staff seemed more occupied with taking shots with VIP table in the window than actually effectively running a renowned restaurant. The only members who seemed to care about their jobs was the brunette host without nails, the brunette male server they transferred us to (he had the section across from the bar), & the blonde male bartender with circle glasses.

Lobster pasta was one dimensional. Steak was super mid. We skipped dessert because the blaring disco music was so loud that we could not hear one another. Overall, a 1/5 is being generous. We left in disbelief of the experience, one of our nights in MTL & $400 completely wasted.

We had an outstanding time dining at Joe Beef. For my 2 colleagues & myself, it exceeded expectations. Well worth a trip.
