Was in Vegas this week for a convention and went to Joes my first night. Sat at the bar and waited for my party of 10 to show up and enjoyed a drink with my Sweetie. Even though there were about 10 servers milling around I had to get up and go to the bar to get my own drink. The drink was great, and the atmosphere of the bar and dining room was very nice and welcoming.
Sat down to the table and met our waiter who was very nice and gave us the history of the restaurant and suggested some appetizers and entrees since it was our first visit . We started off with the Stone Crab Claws which were out of this world and the Mustard Dipping Sauce was from the heavens. We also had the Shrimp De Jonge which was ok.
I had the Ribeye which was OK, nothing fantastic. It was a bit on the small side for a Bone In Ribeye, but since I was still on east coast time so it was really late. Sweetie had the Sea Bass and liked it. The side dishes were also very nice we had the Lyonaise Potatoes, creamed spinach, sweet potato fries, onion straws and maybe one other, all were tasty.
For dessert someone ordered the Peanut Butter Pie which was VERY tasty and to call it rich would be an understatement. Since there was 10 of us they added a percentage to the bill for a tip, which is normal but then the waiter made a point to let the member of our party that was paying know that he had to share the tip with the other people who participated in our service so it was customary to add more so that he gets his fair share. I thought this was tasteless and uncalled for he was also pretty persistent about it and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
This meal was nice, and I would go back for the stone crab claws. There were parts that were great and parts that were not so great about this experience.
