"This original Joe’s location has a very spacious restaurant with separate bar area for catching a game. Holiday decor and cheerful music filled the dining area🎄🎷 it was packed on a Thursday eve. Ordered the prime rib dip comes with fries on the side. Soft buttery bread and tender prime rib didn’t disappoint 😋 Also tried the fillet of sole with side of house made ravioli. Ordered a festive drink Noel’s Nog. Had an enjoyable meal. Service is top notch👍 I say check it out."

"Had the Filet Mignon (cooked medium). The taste was good, but was a little tough…something filet mignon should NEVER be. Tip: The BEST and tastiest one I ever had was at “Fog Harbor” on Pier 39, Fishermen’s Wharf, SF. You could cut it with a fork!!! Our server was excellent. Full disclosure…. we,ve never had a bad server here! The Joe’s Sundae was outstanding!!💖 We went at 3:15 on a Monday, so no waiting. Enjoy!"

"Solid place to come for good Italian food. It’s always packed so you need reservations. Staff is nice and attentive, atmosphere is good. Had the sole with mash and broccolini sides. Can’t go wrong. A little too much salt for me but I don’t like a lot of salt."

"I can't believe I haven't written a review for Original Joe's Westlake yet. We've celebrated some of the most special occasions here - from my rehearsal dinner to friends' birthdays to just grabbing drinks with the girls. Whether brunch or dinner, you will always find something worthwhile to Original Joe's Westlake. I love the old-timey vibes - like you're stepping into the 1950s. The renovations made it look even more swanky and old-timey. It's usually crowded so make sure to get reservations. The service is experienced, and they will get you in and out like professionals."

"We came to Original Joe’s for a birthday celebration, and they set the tone right away by seating us a little earlier than our reservation—such a thoughtful touch since we arrived ahead of schedule. The food was spot-on. My steak was cooked perfectly medium (a rare win these days), seasoned so well I didn’t even think about adding sauce. Everyone at the table loved their dishes.. both of our Steak Ala Bruno (one cooked medium & one cooked medium rare )and the Chicken Piccata were outstanding. Even the sides were flawless. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and the broccolini had that perfect tender-crisp bite. They nail it every single time. Parking was easy, service was smooth, and we genuinely had such a lovely evening. Original Joe’s continues to be one of our tried-and-true favorites. Highly recommend."
