The Scene
Big, loud and masculine, Joe's is a throwback to the days of the country-club restaurant--complete with a pompadour-coiffed, tuxedo-clad host. Mirrors make the large wraparound dining room seem enormous, and the place buzzes with a comfortable mix of white collars, tourists and society types. Table servers are consummate pros, casual and friendly but assuredly capable.
The Food
Joe's signature is its fresh, meaty stone crab claws; an assortment of other seafood and steak dishes fill out the menu. Dig into the "2nd Mortgage" appetizer platter, which includes several already cracked, medium-sized crab claws, jumbo shrimp, succulent lobster tail (amazing), and shrimp and scallop seviche. Creamy, delicate stone crab bisque, crispy lobster tail tempura, jumbo crab claws, the juicy 12-ounce filet, even sides like cole slaw and crusty, cheesy "Jennie's potatoes"--just about everything on this menu is outstanding. Don't forget Joe's Key lime pie for dessert, a tart and tangy specialty of the house.

My boyfriend and I ate here over the holiday weekend and even though the prices were a little high, the food was amazing!! The waiter we had doted on us all night long and even though it was pretty crowded we didn't feel like we got lost in the crowd, as you do with some other restaurants. This is a great place to go eat when you want to splurge on a meal but it is expensive for 2 when you have drinks and a full meal. It is a MUST to try while in Chicago.

The food at Joe's was just ok, and definitely not worth the steep price tag. I went with my friend and we started with the shrimp and scallop ceviche. It was decent, although the fish didn't seem super fresh. For entree, I had a 12 oz fillet, my friend had the stone crab. The steak was cooked well, but not well seasoned, and overall pretty boring. It arrive by itself on the plate, looking very lonely with only a piece of curly leaf parsley to keep it company. The stone crab did not taste fresh. The potatoes weren't bad. The best part of meal was dessert, we shared banana cream pie, which was actually pretty good. But overall, this meal was not worth the $100 price tag.

Despite all the good reviews and the poasitive feedback. And although its a cute atmosphere... the food just didn't cut it. My dish was just okay.. and it left me still starving for food. Weird, right? Anyway, not going back. I shouldn't be hungry when leaving a restaurant
