We got the bone-in strip, so nice & rich in flavor but over priced. The roasted carrots were delicious. Liked the food but I wish we had another server though. The guy just talked way too much!

Great food overall, but I think it has lost some of its greatness. I recall how difficult it was to get a reservation here 10 years ago. Yes, it is still tough to get the prime reservation time. We were able to snag last-minute reservations for 9:30 p.m.

The restaurant was packed! Clearly, it continues to be a popular spot. Our server was friendly, consistent with everyone's observation that outstanding service is its key strength!

The dishes that we had were all decent, but nothing out of this world. The bone marrow had an interesting spin, but the chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg) became the main ingredient for the dish, rather than tasting much of the bone marrow & uni.

The server recommended the duck, which happens to be our pick as well. But the meat wasn't as tender as I'd like. The side dish- carrots, turned out to be my favorite dish for the night.

So we liked this place. But a few notes.

We had the Andalouse sausage made with veal, fois gras & sweet bread as a starter. Was especially good. But it was two large sausages. It was very delicate & flavorful. We also had the bread & pickle. Was very tasty. The server suggested this.

Oh!
We also had the Roman gnocchi- which was polenta with Gruyère sauce- absolutely delish!

For the mains I had the lobster spaghetti. It was like a twist on Italian carbonara with lobster. I asked- the lobster is fresh!! 🦞( not frozen). This dish was very very tasty & large!
My husband had the Guinea Hen. It was fine. But not the best. He ate it, enjoyed it for what it was but wouldn't order it again. He didn't really know he's eating'guinea hen'- was more like regular poultry in sauce with vegetables.

We had a 5pm seating & what we didn't like is they kind of rushed you to order. ( in a polite way) but they made everyone order all their courses right away. They brought everything out pretty quickly, one right after the other. Was kind of strange. So you couldn't get a feel for sizes or what else you want after already eating an appetizer. It was all ordered from the top & then served.

The restaurant is super cute & nice. Very pretty atmosphere. Cozy yet elegant. Tastefully decorated.

This was amazing. The darling cozy atmosphere, the food (OMG seafood tower) & the service were so memorable & perfect. But I came on Google to leave a review specifically for Kalina, our waitress. She was the best, friendliest, most knowledgeable waitress we've ever had. & I know, that's a bold statement. SHE made the experience Michelin. She was attentive, thorough, professional & yet warm, kind & genuine. Our meal was paced perfectly & our food selections all coordinated impeccably. Because of Kalina & her suggestions, guidance & expertise. THANK YOU!! Go to Joe Beef & ask for Kalina!

Totally worth it. We had our 10 year anniversary dinner at Joe Beef & it was amazing. A little pricey but good food isn't cheap. You can taste the quality of the ingredients.

Service was awesome & great wine selections! Great beef but all the other apps were kind of mediocre & not quite hit the spot. Charming organic atmosphere & the space is cozy but can feel a bit cramped & you can hear all the noise from other tables. If I return again & i will only have the mains & wine! Other wise it's a bit overhyped & priced.

Another exceptional meal at one of our favorite establishments in montreal. Are compliments to the chef. The food over the years has always been incredibly consistent & delicious. The outstanding items on the menu this evening for sure where the sweet breads & tongue. Expertly prepared & allowing the delicate flavors to come through. The service is always on point & the staff is incredibly well-trained & knowledgeable as well as being very friendly & attentive.
