Well my budget only allowed me to go once over this institution and it's probably the best money I've ever spent. I know how ephemeral it must be for some but they clearly don't know the experience. Because Joe Beef is an experience. First you enter the room waiting to be seated like any other restaurant but you have to reserve your place to be sure to have one. It took us 2 months to be able to write this review! Anyway, then you have a dedicated waiter or waitress and they're not here just to take your order, they actually care about your choice and spend the time explaining which is which and for the wine lovers out there what goes with what. You don't feel like a simple customer and that's good in my book! Then the food. I took a half-duck with fries while my girlfriend took some spaghetti with lobster. A-MA-ZING! And it's not because it's expensive that you'll have less in your plate. Quite the opposite actually. We had a lot to eat and enjoyed it as much as we could. Believe it or not, I actually couldn't finish my meal! So I had some for the day after and it was still great! Now I understand why it gathered this reputation. That and the cozy atmosphere. Great place! Please make me rich so I can go back there more often!
