Toujours une excellente expérience chez Joe Beef. Le service est attentif dès l'arrivée, rapide & chaleureux. La nourriture est excellente à chacune de nos visites & la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous.

Cette fois-ci, nous avons particulièrement apprécié le tartare de boeuf, la salade ainsi que les pâtes au homard, qui étaient vraiment excellents. Pour la qualité de la nourriture & l'expérience offerte, nous trouvons que le rapport qualité-prix est très bon.

Un merci tout particulier à notre serveur, Félix, pour son excellent service & son attention tout au long du repas. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

This place was highly recommended & went with my foodie friend who had eaten there a few years ago. Found it highly overrated. The food was'fine', but that was not what one expects from a restaurant with this reputation & price point.

Everything was ok, just no punch, flavors really weren't anything special. The duck with mustard sauce was again just fine, the zucchini was really just meh. Friend had the guinea hen was just disappointing. Sad when the best part of the meal was the cocktail & the French fries. Should really be 2.5 stars.

Not my first time, but I may not go back. Honestly, the atmosphere & service is great, but the food was average at best. Only the dessert was very good. I left hungry. Prices are high for what you get.
