on Citysearch Dec 09, 2008The food was excellent. We went for lunch and the place was nice, quiet, seated immediately. Gourmet 3 course meal for $16 is tough to beat. The specials menu change daily. Abbot-Kinney can be hard to find parking but I... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 26, 2008Joe's is quite simply an amazing restaurant. The food is definitely cutting edge - and sometimes borders on pretentious - but it's always delicious and creative. The price tag is high, but the quality of the food... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2008I cannot say that I really enjoyed the food (although there were definately good parts). The lobster was too chewy to swallow and the scallops were not as tender as I'd like. (more)

on Citysearch Nov 12, 2007I had no idea of what to expect the first time I dined at Joe's. I knew nothing about it, except that a friend said it was a "must try". She was right. It was excellent across the board- service, food, atmosphere and... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 17, 2007My wife and I have been to Joe's three times. Every time it has sucked. I kept wanting to like it because of the high Zagat rating, but it's a scam. The service has been awful all three times. The food is mediocre. The... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2007Sadly, the days when this restaurant provided the most beautiful food and impeccable service are over. In my last 4-5 visits I've seen such a lapse in quality, in organization, in plating, and in attitude that it's... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 11, 2006Despite a remodeling, Joe's bright, minimalist quarters can still seem cramped. The hallway-dining-room is the place to watch the kitchen work its magic. For a more romantic tête-a-tête, sit on the... (more)
