We recently visited Joe's with family and guests from our B&B. The food was outstanding, the service excellent and the courtyard dining charming! We send guests here regularly and have found it to be five star consistently! More

All American dining experience. Prices are slightly above average. Nice portions with friendly wait staff. There have been someinteresting items on the menu in the past, at this time there is a nice overall balance with fresh seafood, lamb and beef entrees. The chef will even help out the occassional vegan who stumbles into town. More

The other fantastic dish was the spaghetti carbonara--very light tomato sauce with... More

Then only downfall is the average wait staff who will approach a business table where one person is talking and simply just talk over him. It was so bad I had to get up and talk to the manager to get a new... More
