My girlfriends and I were together for a special Christmas lunch. You know you can always count on Joe Fortes for great service and great food. There were so many choices on the menu, but we really enjoyed the Cobb salad and the way they mix it for you right at the table. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. Everything happens without you thinking about it, so it leaves you time to just enjoy your friends and the food.

The front desk was super helpful. The waitor, waitress and bartender all were involved in the dinning and we got to know them all during our dining there, this made for a comfortable experience. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. The bread basket was diverse and delicious, the mushroom caps are to die for and the 10 oz steak medium rare steak was melt in your mouth delicious, The views were beautiful,💯 recommend, especially for a weekend getaway.

We went during happy hour, ordered cocktails followed by a bottle of the Syrah-Grenache. For appetizers we shared pepperoni pizza, fried chicken, hummus with toasted sourdough and beets on a bed of whipped feta. All excellent. PS I wear hearing aids and they accommodated me by putting me us in a quieter area of the restaurant. Much appreciated.
