After a two-year closure, Original Joe's, San Francisco’s quintessential Italian-American dining destination, revitalized iconic Daly City institution Joe’s of Westlake, and reintroduced it into the community as Original Joe’s Westlake. An anchor of Daly City from 1956 to 2014, Original Joe’s Westlake underwent an extensive two-year renovation, complete with a front-to-back interior remodel, including the kitchen and all dining spaces, and an exterior and landscaping overhaul. Following the Original Joe’s tradition, Westlake continues to prepare unpretentious, old-school Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. The menu is carefully crafted to reflect a past-meets-present hybrid of what Joe’s of Westlake used to be and what Original Joe’s Westlake is today.

I celebrated a birthday and the environment was perfect for a celebration dinner. There’s both an indoor and outdoor section, and the outdoor section plays the movie for the night. The indoor section doesn’t have a full view of the movie, but it wasn’t a personal issue for me as it was moreso an ambiance thing. I wouldn’t mind trying the outdoor section one day, though. As a note, food portions weren’t exactly plentiful, however, if split family style it can definitely work! The salad, oysters, and steak were all delicious. Service was also very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I would definitely come back for special occasions.

Wonderful service and creative and delicious dim sum styled offerings. Our only complaint relates to the portion sizes, especially the vegetable dishes. The brussel sprout plate had approximately six brussel sprouts and another dish had five tiny bites. Surprisingly, the meat dishes were more generous, though obviously more expensive. A bit more generosity in the vegetable department would be appreciated.
