| - First, let me say this is not a review I ever thought I would write. We eat at Joe's about once a month, and their food and service have always been outstanding. For that matter, the food on this last visit was as good as ever and our server was excellent.
Here is what happened. We were enjoying lunch in the terrace area. After about an hour, the matre' d came over and asked us to move to the bar, and finish our conversation there, as someone was waiting for the table. I can honestly say, I have never had anything like this happen to me before, let alone at such an upscale restaurant as this, and after only an hour! We had salad and lunch, we were not simply sitting enjoying waters and taking up a table.
To his credit, the matre' d did say something to the manager, who came over, and was very apologetic. The problem was, while she said she was sorry, and he should have never asked us to move, in the next breath she told us we were not the first people that they have asked this of, so obviously he is instructed to do this. Now, had we ordered next to nothing, had we been there an inordinately long amount of time, been acting inappropriately, or dressed that way, I would understand. We found this totally unacceptable.
While I love the food, this type of arrogance is not something I am interested in supporting. No restaurant is this good, in my mind, Vegas is full of wonderful restaurants. Until I hear of some changes made in their policies, Joe's has seen the last of us.
