    We are regular visitors to Boston but have never dined at Joe's before. We discovered this has been a mistake on our part! We loved the atmosphere and were lucky enough to be seated on their patio, which was an added bonus, as it felt both airy (due to the openness and surrounding greenery) and warm (since the glass doors were closed) on this chilly night. We shared the Brussels sprouts appetizer which was wonderfully seasoned. For our entrees, we had the tuna poke bowl (delicious), and the pan sautéed salmon was among the best I've ever had. It was beautifully browned and crisp, the salmon was juicy, and it had just the right amount of seasoning. We usually skip dessert but wanted to enjoy the experience even more so we topped it off with their skillet chocolate chip cookie and ice cream (definitely a portion designed for sharing!) Our waiter, Alex, was appropriately attentive but did not make us feel rushed at all and was very personable and always smiling. When we placed our dessert order, he enthusiastically said, "Great choice!" We understand their 5 mac and cheese is a best seller so we are definitely going back because we feel that's a must-try. We are sure this was the first of many trips to enjoy this restaurant.

    A staple on Newbury that has a little bit of something for everyone. Love the front/bar room with a view of the street.

    Food was marginal & overpriced. Music was loud. Server was nice but never checked back. Allowing MEN in the women’s room made it clear I will not return. It’s bad enough the adult patrons dressed for “cosplay” but seriously.. KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S ROOM. I’ll go to better run establishments in the future.

    Great food and service! Would eat here again! Only complaint…very loud, but it is a sports bar, so not surprising.
