    The food is good, but the atmosphere is not the best. The amplified vocalists make it very, really unpleasantly noisy. The service is pleasant and quick.

    I’ve been wanting to try Joanne’s for years! So happy I was able to make it this time. The food and service were both excellent. We shared the eggplant and meatball appetizers and the cocktails were fabulous. One lavender blonde and I was grooving at my table to the Mayhem album which they were playing over the speakers. I don’t know why some of the reviews are so unfavorable. While this definitely was one of my more expensive meals in NYC, it absolutely was the best.
