Decent food, terrible terrible service, overpriced.
Having had the opportunity to dine at some of the best restaurants in North America, We were disappointed by joe beef. Largely, driven by an arrogant, condescending waiter who took the notion of 'our reputation exempts us from having to be courteous to our customers' too far. Its cute and edgy to have a single chalkboard menu etc. But when you are being asked for help with choices, pairing of wines - then do just that. I am not paying you for snooty responses like 'we don't do Cabernets period' or 'I can't recommend anything'.
In terms of the food - I have had far better steak, fish, and shellfish than at joe beef. The prep and presentation were also lacking. I do appreciate the fresh ingredients, some of which were grown in an urban backyard.
I would recommend so many other spots before you waste your time and money waiting for an over hyped restaurant.
