    I had a wonderful lunch today at Original Joe's. My server Sedat was outstanding and had great suggestions for menu items. I strongly recommend the Pineapple Punch (n/a), Joe's House Made Ravioli, and the Butter Cake. This was the best meal of the trip!

    Service, quality, flavor: all impeccable. The gardiniera was so perfectly balanced, fresh and interesting with celery, radish, and fennel. I knew it would be great, but was even better than that. My table mate who doesn’t generally care for anything pickled was blown away. The chicories were gorgeous, colorful, and delicious. The tagliatelle was absolutely stunning both texturally and depth of flavor. Tiramisu and chocolate budino are exquisite, truly. Save room for dessert. I loved the NA passion fruit cocktail and sparkling blanc de blanc. Such a treat to have something n thoughtful and delicious for folks who aren’t drinking. It’s a beautiful dining room. I sat on the banquet on the south wall and felt like I was under a spotlite. A little less overhead light intensity would take it from a 9 to a 10.

    The roasted tomato burrata with pesto starter was amazing. I had the kale salad with salmon and my husband had the chicken pot pie. It was all delicious. Servers (we sat at the bar) were very attentive. Seems to be a neighborhood spot as all the customers seem to know each other, which is nice. We’ll definitely be back.

    Christmas Eve dinner there was absolutely amazing from the service to the spontaneous treats that would get dropped off at the table to the beautiful presentation of the plates and the very gracious interactions with the owner. This was the first time in my life having Christmas Eve dinner outside of my house and it couldn’t have been a better substitute, the bread with the roasted tomatoes in oil was delicious. The drinks, the mock tails highly recommend. I have been here outside of this holiday and I’ve never had about experience. Thankfully, the food is properly seasoned. I’ve never had a broken sauce. The lettuce in the salad has always been fresh not one wilted leaf. The must be amazing and they’re so diligent about clearing out of use plates which I appreciate iton some of the smaller tables. The decor is great as well. This is a gem in the Richmond District, and in San Francisco.

    Christmas eve dinner for 7 people. Food was good and everything came out in the right order. Servers and staff were very attentive. Kitchen a little slow but we did not want to go fast anyway. Wine list is fine but probably 15% unnecessarily expensive. Gratuity of 20% was automatically added, but we were a high maintenance table, so was deserved. 5 stars!
