Incredible food & service.

Food was great. Service was greater. The rum drenched dessert was a great ending to the stellar meal.

The food, the service, & the atmosphere of Joe Beef was phenomenal. The veal dish was one of the most amazing meals I've ever had! Also, if you save room for dessert, get the rum cake!!! I'm going to be thinking about that cake for a very long time.

Food was amazing, the duck & the fries are top notch. It was very busy for 6pm on a Wednesday night & sat at the bar which was full & a but tight. The servers were very attentive & were always there if you needed anything. The couple next to me ordered the halibut & it looked really good, will definitely try it next time.

Update
Went back a second time & tried the scallops, beef tartare, arctic char & duck (peppercorn sause this time). The scallops were really fresh & had a really clean taste. The beef tartare had lots of flavour but the arctic char was the stand out dish. It was amazing! Highly recommend it

I was really looking forward to this one but was a disappointment.

Spent over 500$ for me & my wife but what a let down. We shared the rib plate & asked for medium but came in rare. We returned the plate , only to come back 5 minutes later still very rare. At this point we ate a bit of it & left. The piece of meat was drenched with two different sauces which completely altered the taste of the meat. Thanks for ruining our 10 year wedding anniversary .

We were really excited to try Joe Beef & made our reservation a month in advance, so our expectations were high.
Unfortunately, the experience fell short. We were seated at an extremely small, crowded table where we had to physically move the table just to go between the tables to get to the seat. It made the entire meal feel uncomfortable from the start. On top of that it was so loud, we could hardly hear each other or the server.
What stood out most was the service dynamic around us. The tables on either side appeared to be regulars or known to staff, & the difference in treatment was very noticeable. Staff were highly attentive & social with those tables, even sharing drinks with them & bringing them special dishes, while we felt largely overlooked. It created an awkward atmosphere where we felt like second-class guests.
The hostess repeatedly bumped into my husband while engaging with the neighboring table, enthusiastically describing special dishes she planned to bring them, which added to the feeling that attention was being directed elsewhere.
As for the food, it didn't live up to the hype. The server strongly pushed starters, & while the drinks were good, the overall meal was underwhelming. Dessert was just okay.
By the end of the evening, we were ready to leave. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, not worth it, & we won't be returning.

Birthday dinner that had some notable issues. Nearly 45 minutes between courses killed the momentum, & the mains didn't quite deliver on flavor despite looking the part. The veal was very salty, had to use a side of butter pasta to cut it. When we flagged that things were just'ok' to our waiter, he moved on without any follow-up, which was disappointing.
Not a write-off…you can see the effort…but this visit didn't live up to what French cuisine should offer. Willing to try again & hope it was just an off night.
