A simply flawless meal from beginning to end.
I am too easily handing out 5-star reviews lately, but I really like what I really like. Joe's simply delivered last night and definitely deserves all 5 available stars.
A classy looking place which replicates an old 20's-era steakhouse in the Forum Shop area of Caesar's. Classic large bar with a great selection of fine spirits. My Oxley gin martini was a great way to start. Paired with Kumamoto oysters, this is the way to start a meal! Besides the usual accompaniments, Joe's served a semi-frozen version of mignonette that is unique and tasty.
The grilled octopus appetizer was tremendous. Hot seafood on cold beans and greens was simply delicious. My wife went for a classic Manhattan cocktail and we also split a small cup of Manhattan clam chowder. While we both prefer New England clam chowder, this was quite good.
Main dishes were next and I was not disappointed that I strayed from my usual steak craving and opted for the Chilean sea bass. A sweet teriyaki glaze was perfect in bringing out the flavor. My bride opted for the small filet and huge lobster tail. Another martini and a glass of excellent Cabernet helped wash down the delightful dishes. We split a classic baked potato and steamed asparagus. All were excellent. Their famous key lime pie finished off the evening perfectly.
Service from Perry and the entire staff was on point all evening. The price point was on par with excellent dining options in the area but certainly not outrageous. A perfectly wonderful dining experience.
