    Great family dinner last night at RPM Seafood… celebrated my wife and daughter’s birthdays with an outstanding evening. Loved the salmon and tuna apps; clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Entrees were excellent: halibut, miso cod, tuna all expertly prepared and seasoned. Whipped potatoes and mushroom sides were very good Loved our server and they comped us for a great chocolate gelato and mousse desserts. We will be back in the future for celebration events!

    Overall good experience. Very accommodating with the reservation (we were late due to parking, and they still worked with us to have a table ready). Service was great! Our waitress was energetic, had great recommendations, and was attentive. The food was also impressive.

    Our experience at Joe's was excellent from beginning to end. We were greeted by the maitre'd as if we were one of their best customers and were seated at a booth that we sat in the last time we were there even though we did not request it. The service was impeccable as we were not rushed even though the restaurant was very busy. The timing of the food from beginning to end was at comfortable pace and the food, including salad, grilled seafood and a steak, was perfectly prepared. The general manager of the restaurant even came to our table to welcome us. All in all, it was one of the best dining experiences of the year, and we visit many restaurants throughout the year.
