    I chose to propose to my girlfriend at our favorite restaurant. The dinner was wonderful and our waiter went above and beyond to make the experience the best we could’ve asked for. And she said, yes. 💍

    I can't say enough good things about our experience at Joe's! We went there expecting a very special dinner and celebration for our daughter's 21st birthday and it did not disappoint. I'd especially like to point out our service, as service can make or break an experience. Our server was EXCELLENT. He was so attentive, knowledgeable, kind and went out of his way to make sure our daughter felt celebrated. Our daughter also has Celiac Disease, and he was so in step with what she could/could not have even double checking with the kitchen on the squash casserole--which it turned out she could have and was one of the food winners of the night! Joe's is a special restaurant with very high prices, yet when the service and quality of the food were like they were last night, it was priceless to us! Wish I could remember the name of our waiter, as I'd like to thank him again for making our night memorable.

    We ordered filet mignon and salmon. Both were made to perfection. The steak was one of the most tender we’ve had in our dining experience. Our server was very friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her over the course of our dinner. I would highly recommend eating here for a delicious, quiet, relaxing dinner. So glad we went!

    We had an amazing dining experience! Our server, Sasha, was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. The cocktails were perfectly made and paired well with our dishes. The carbonara pasta was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the chicken saltimbocca was delicious. We finished with a rich and chocolatey tiramisu, which was the perfect ending. The manager checked in to make sure everything was great, showing how much they care about the service. We’ll definitely be back!

    Celebrating a birthday at The TAO was an epic experience. We didn’t need to hit a club to enjoy great hip-hop music, and we could still hear each other talk comfortably. The appetizers were so satisfying they could have been a meal on their own, making the main course feel like a plus. It’s definitely a fantastic spot for a date ⚡️
