| - Was out in Phoenix visiting friends and family and went to Joe's. The place is fresh (it has a 90's theme that had me reliving the glory days)! Hip Hop plays over the speakers - and its the good stuff; mostly before the gangsta rap. Which was cool because we were with my 3 year old. She had as much fun as we did. We sat on the back patio. I had some amazing wine, and great food to compliment it. I think we ordered nearly everything on the menu. The roasted veggies were grilled to perfection (you gotta see the grill to believe it). The frittes (French fries) were as good, if not better than the frittes I had in Amsterdam. We shared the steak, the wings, the scallops, the short ribs - all 5/5. The food was eclectic, meticulously prepared, and delicious! Everyone at the table raved about the pork chop and my friend got the Notorious B.I.G burger - insane. I don't know what they put in their food, but it's like crack from the 90's. I'm glad I live in LA or I'd be there every chance I got - drinking a 40, listening to EPMD, eating Cornish hen and Bone marrow. Yes, they sell 40's (in a brown paper bag). Totally works with the theme, but not a real good reflection of the place - Joe's has casual sophistication with zero pretention. And yes they do serve Bone marrow (and Foie Gras, and mussels, and scallops)! I felt appropriately dressed and I was fly. Everything in the place is brand new and the staff - oh, did I mention the staff. The nicest servers - and they know their wine too. I'm almost certain we'll go back next time we're in Phoenix. Truly as good as it gets.
