4.5⭐️ because the food was salty. FOOD: creative, very delicious, but salty. • Bone Marrow Custart: so cream, the bone marrow is mixed with egg & cream & turned into something like a savory pudding. The creamy tomato sauce & croutons balance out the rich flavor. 100/10 • Duck platter: I love how they have all the heart, liver & kidney. The meat was tender, gravy is super tasty, if it was less salty I'd really love this restaurant. SERVICE: Amazing, as soon as my plate is cleared out, 2 seconds later another waiter saw it & bring me new plates & cutlery. The place is extremely busy til midnight. Although I had reservation I still have to wait about 30 minutes. They're super busy but they managed to do the service really really well. VIBE: very small place, it's impossible to walk in without reservation. It's an old house with some weird decorations, I got scared with the giant bull head in the washroom.

Probably one of my all time favorite dining experiences - it starts with the staff (especially at the bar) who are so friendly & fun to interact with, down to the range of indulgent food from the cold bar down to the lobster spaghetti! Drinks don't stop pouring & they're exquisite, & don't get me started on the desserts abound here! Definitely hope to come back in the future!

Never had something at Joe Beef that didn't absolutely exceed my expectations. Even something as simple as bread service is mind blowing. By far my favorite restaurant. (Get sweetbreads & bone marrow)

Outstanding service & food that will move you. Each dish was perfectly balanced & expertly portioned. A must visit once in your life. Make sure you try the almond cake for dessert. Very allergy conscious & well educated staff.

Joe Beef is legendary. It lives up to the legend. Every course we had supplanted it's predecessor as Our Favorite Thing. The menu changes nightly, so commenting on a specific dish would be unhelpful. On any given night you can try any menu item, & are virtually guaranteed to be blown away.

We loved the lobster spaghetti super creamy & portion is generous. For the duck dish to share, the meat was perfect cooked but the sauce is a bit too salty, we couldn't taste & sweetness & sourness from the plum sauce.
