An unequivocal five stars! A bunch of us organized a surprise going away party for a friend of ours and we had a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant staff were super accommodating of our situation, despite the fact that many of our guests did not show up on time for the reservation. Our server was extremely helpful and made great suggestions.
The food was absolutely delicious. The guacamole bruschetta and the spiced chicken skewers were unbelievably good (especially the latter). The mains also received rave reviews. My catch of the day (spiced tliapia) which came with two sides totally hit the spot, and the ribs that some of the other guests had also received high praise.
When it came to settle up, we were informed that it would be on one bill, which was no big deal and I took the responsibility of informing everyone what they owed and collecting the funds. Somehow the credit card charges on two cards that were used for payment (in addition to the cash) were mixed up, but our server was very gracious about reversing the charges.
Another point of note is that the automatic gratuity for our party was only 15% (as opposed to other places that automatically charge you 20%), and we of course bumped that up because of our outstanding service. Overall, the experience at Joe Mamas was uniformly positive and I look forward to going back again.
