Looking to see if Joe Beef is'worth it', we'll stop. Ambiance, old fashion design, vibe, happy bus team members, proud & happy servers, besides regular menu items they have multiple specials - we had quail , filet mignon w paired veggies & omg sauces. We had more fun watching everyone else's dishes arrive & there reactions. A wonderful night left full & happy (& oh. I don't like cooked carrots but omg you have to get them!!!)

Gabriel was an absolute joy as a server. As always the food here is amazing, with the raw seafood appetizer offering & lobster spaghetti as must orders. The Tuna Bagnat was boooomb!

Wow I can see why everyone raves about this place! It's a beautiful restaurant with both indoor & outdoor seating. Definitely make a reso ahead of time! We were sat in the outdoor back section & it was very romantic & cute, with patio lights hanging above our heads. The service here was impeccable & we felt very well taken care of. Our server regularly checked on us & gave us helpful suggestions. The bone marrow custard was soooooo good. So good that I wish I didn't have to share it with my mom & cousin. It was my first time eating escargot. I wasn't a big fan of the dish here because it tasted a little bland to me. It did come with two very big pieces of bread though, & the presentation was very cool. The beef tartare tasted fresh & comes with both crackers & lettuce. You can eat it as is or they can add Tabasco spice. The hanger steak was tender & juicy. I loved the sauce that it came with & I recommend ordering a side of fries to have with it. The fries here were really good! Overall this place has great food, service, & atmosphere. It's no surprise it is always talked about & a must try when visiting Montreal!

Cramped but lively place. Service was attentive & welcoming. However, the food fell flat...the taste was not there to justify the high prices. I was disappointed & would not recommend.

Had the beef steak & bone marrow dish. Not impressed by the quality of meat (especially for it being on the pricey side). It does not taste beefy & was bit salty. It's very loud inside & difficult to talk over the noise & music. Servers r friendly. Service was good.

Solid 2 stars. Had the Canadian prime strip steak with bone marrow & the halibut dish. Cant say it's great. The steak was too salty, lacking beef flavour. Texture like a confit which is nice but lacking flavour. Bone marrow was big & filling but also lacking flavour. The halibut was a good size but also lacking flavour. Place is overhyped & very loud. It's busy & the music was blasting. Very lively but not a place to have conversations with friends. $80-90 per person on food. Cant say it's worth it. Definitely NOT worth the wait. We made reservations so that didn't bother us.
