Excellent dining experience. From flawless service to great execution on seemingly simple dishes, everything was high quality. Steak tartare was prepared at the table & was one of the best I have ever had. Lobster spaghetti is also highly recommended. Mussels & oysters were the highlight of the small cold platter.

The entire staff at Joe beef clearly love to work there & with each other. This comes out in the food & service. It reminds me of a Danny Meyer restaurant. Their food was exceptional & our server made excellent wine recommendations. We had the beef tartare prepared table side with endives & crostini. The meal could have ended there I would've been happy but we followed it up with a gem salad, the duck meal to share & fries. Not your traditional steak house meal given the other options but would have that meal on repeat. we finished it with a chocolate meringue dessert that our server previously called the "kids dessert" she was not wrong. 10/10 would recommend

Can't overstate how good this was. The food was outstanding & the service was perfect. Our server was also a sommelier & added so much to the experience through perfect pairings & suggestions. We had the flank steak & the mutton. Both to die for.

I feel remorse that words are the only way I have available to express the overwhelming pleasure of this experience. First, the service. The staff was, to a person, kinda, knowledgeable, attentive, & approachable. You have an allergy? We can make this without that ingredient, & this is how it will impact the flavor. In fact, let us make one of each so the table can experience both. They were in a class of their own. Then the food. Everything, & I mean EVERYTHING, to each bite was amazing. Raw scallops topped with truffles? One of the best bites of my life. Suckling pig confit? I though I knew what depth of flavor was. Every time the fork met my mouth I was reminded just how wrong I had been my entire life. It was exquisite (& I don't know that I have ever used that world non-ironically) If you consider yourself a fan of food, your life is incomplete until you have eaten at Joe Beef.

Wow! We've been dreaming of eating at Joe Beef since watching an old episode of Anthony Bourdain. The staff was very careful with our friend's food allergy & advised what each menus item consisted of & asked the kitchen to be mindful during preparation. We shared the large seafood platter, beef tartare plus a round of cocktails. Then for the mains the 4 of us shared the Lobster Spaghetti & Suckling Pig. I love a restaurant that knows their food is for sharing!! Exceptional guidance by our server, he suggested so many great options. We also loved how attentive the entire staff was with refilling water glasses & bringing out extra dishes for shells or whatnot. Oh the desserts were wonderful! We all loved the lemon sorbet & 24 Layer Cake. Divine!
