Joe Badali is 1 of the better restaurants in the downtown core. I was here years ago when they still have the lunch buffet bar. That being said, it is better to not binge eat during lunch hours.
Venue wise, it hasn't change too much. Layout is still the same as they were before: quite clean and well lit plus good environment to have conversations.
Food wise, I ordered their lunch special gnocchi in a cream sauce with chicken. And my coworker ordered a sandwich. Taste is okay. But price was a bit steep for lunch.
Staff was great. They all have strong service attitude and that's what really makes a difference for returning customers.
