| - Since my first review, Joe's knocked down their aged building and moved into a spiffy new one across the parking lot. Their good looks now match the food quality, and apparently people have noticed; it is damn near impossible to find a parking spot during their peak hours. My husband and I stealthily waited until later on a Saturday night to go, which proved to be a smart strategy. We got right in, sat at the beautiful granite bar, and chatted with the friendly servers while we mowed through our food. One of the specials was walleye cheek, nicely done in a panko breading. I haven't seen that many places, and they do it well, so get it if you are lucky enough to catch it. I had the vegetarian Lebanese platter with spinach pies, tabbouli, grape leaves, and hummus with a giant stack of pita. Everything was magical, but the hummus especially was to die for. I wisely ate about half my dish and packed the rest to go, because I just had to try a dessert. Yes, the baklava is as good as it looks. I'm glad I finally saved room for dessert.
