    Joe’s was recommended from co-workers. I took my partner for his birthday since Italian food is his favorite. He said it was a wonderful experience and I agree.

    Overall this is our first time here at Waterbar and let me tell you it did go above and beyond our expectations on food ! As a sous chef new to the area this was beyond amazing , the lobster risotto was flavorful full of umami and an overall beautiful delicate dish. Service was great , our guest talked with us the whole time , he did have to ask us to repeat ourselves several times due to the large loud party beside us , but kept the pace of the night very fluid and engaging. Would dine in and recommend any day of the week.

    This place is all about the food. Ignore the menu, it's just there to provide familiar options. Talk to your server. They'll find something for you that will delight. The decor is standard diner decor, it isn't the point. The seating looks like something from the 1950s, but again, the seating isn't the point. The food is the point, and the food is delightful.

    It’s a really nice place to eat! The servers or waiters will come frequently like once every 5-10 minutes, if you haven’t ordered yet! The people there were really nice and gave me an 15% off for our next visit! Overall it’s a nice place to eat! :)
