If you show up without someone in your reservation for two,
If you show up without someone in your reservation for two, you will not be seated. Horrible!!!--why should anyone wait unseated, when the other guest hasn't arrived yet? Am I incapable of ordering drinks and appetizers in anticipation of my guest? Am I a child undeserving of a seat when unsupervised? (The least they could do is state their policy when booking a reservation--to give a customer notice). My first and last visit to this establishment.
Be the first to ReplyFirst off, I was visiting my bestie in North Beach.
We love to come to the bar at Original Joe's and grab wine and snacks. This time we came, it was a Sunday and the Google listing said they closed at 10 PM but when we walked in at 9:20 the bar said they were closed. No prob and we asked to just get a glass of vino. All of the bartenders ignored us except for Eddie. He apologized for the early closing and was able to get us garlic bread and a salad. This is true hospitality! He is holding the company to its standards. We are obviously in the biz and wanted to give a shout-out to Eddie for keeping the art of hospitality alive!!!!!
Be the first to ReplySan francisco North beach original joes is not good at all.
We tried it twice since as a family , we had been fans of the other SanFrancisco location for over 50 years. we gave North beach two tries and both failed. San Jose is awesome as well as the Marin location. The food is Always spectacular. We are big fans of the Veal scallopine with ravioli and salad with thousand island dressing and sourdough bread. We also enjoy the spumoni for dessert . Give San Jose and Marin locations a try . You won't be dissapointed!
Be the first to ReplySome of the best spinach dip you could ever have no
Some of the best spinach dip you could ever have no exaggeration. It's a small but telling reason why this place is held in such high prestige in the city for decades.
Be the first to ReplyFood: Complimentary bread was cold, and gummy.
easily fixed by getting it warmed up. Portions are huuge, flavours are incredible. No complaints tbh. Im pescatarian and my friend is a vegetarian, we have more than enough options to choose from. I had the dungeness crab cake, which blew my mind i was not expecting legit flavours in an American restaurant, but then this is legit italian. I also ordered the clam chowder which i had to go because i got full from one piece of arancini and half of my crab cake. I had my eye on the Branzino, i had the best Branzino at Elena's a few weeks ago and im curious if its as good or even better. Tho the castelvetrano olives made me choose clam chowder instead. For desserts we had 17 layer chocolate cake and tiramisu to go (we ate it so fast a few hours after our meal at home, incredible desserts best served chilled) They sent bombolini with a side of raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce. Italian desserts should be more flavours than sweet, and this hits the park. (Pun intended) Experience resembled Elena's brunch churros, can never go wrong with it. A must order. Service: It's my first time coming here. I met a friend that day that told me "im taking you to the first restaurant i went to when i moved to SF". Surprised to be in OJ north beach. Lindsay is our server, she's pretty knowledgeable of the menu. Didn't hover and waited in a timely manner. Incredible service. Bar manager said hello, tho me and my friend are both sober we declined the cocktails. They do have a great selection. Ambiance: There's a reason why its always packed. It's Original Joe's, you just have to experience it yourself. Overall itself a solid restaurant. You'll get more for what you pay. Definitely no comparison in the city, this restaurant has the charm and identity enough to withstand through time. Cheers!
Be the first to ReplyThe food is quality and the portions are VERY large.
The spicy rigatoni is one of my favorites & something I consistently order. They also make a combination of excellent classic cocktails and fun new originals. I will never get over how great their service is. They split plates for you & make the dining experience so pleasant. They are great for large parties but make sure to get a reservation! For smaller groups you can check in and plan to wait an hour or two nearby & grab a drink across the street or in vibrant north beach.
Be the first to ReplyOriginal Joe's is always serving up great drinks and
Original Joe's is always serving up great drinks and service. The ambience is lively. You have the bar area and the dining area. We usually hang out at the bar and share a couple of drinks while waiting for our table to be ready. They make a solid old fashioned and espresso martini. This place is always crowded. There are TV's in the bar area for all you sports enthusiasts.
Be the first to ReplyWith so many places to choose from in North Beach, it
With so many places to choose from in North Beach, it surprised me how busy Original Joe's was. The food is decent quality and they have a little something for everyone's diet. I enjoyed the Fritto Misto which is basically calamari with some other seafood thrown in with a delicious spicy sauce. The portions are big too so one appetizer was able to satisfy 4 people while we waited for the entree. The Veal Parmigiana was good, but the Monterey Jack cheese was a bit thick for my liking. It made the entree feel heavier than I wanted. Also, shouldn't it be made with parmasan cheese instead? My wife enjoyed the Clam Linguini with white wine sauce and also mentioned it was oilier than she's used to and sat heavily. Overall, good food, drinks, and service with large portions, but very heavy. Make sure you don't eat all day to be able to finish your food.
Be the first to ReplyWent here for dinner last night and was beyond disappointed
Went here for dinner last night and was beyond disappointed in the service. We walked up to check in for our reservation and there were 4 people behind the podium laughing and talking amongst themselves. They saw us walking up and standing there but didn't stop to help. They kept showing each other something on their phone before finally paying us attention and checking us in. Then a hostess (older blonde woman) grabbed two menus and gestured us to go towards the left of the podium. There were people blocking the way so we waited and then didn't know where to walk since the hostess was behind us. When we turned around to find her she then gestured us to go to the right of the podium and made a face and rolled her eyes at us that we apparently went the wrong way when we initially went to the left where she gestured. We were shocked. Our actual waitress was nice and the food was good but not enough to ever go back. We told her about the hostess and she said she would tell her manager but it was honestly just so rude that we almost didn't stay.
Be the first to ReplyVery old school Italian.
Big servings of rich pastas along with classic veals and chicken items. Never leave hungry
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food, great venue, and amazing staff.
It's great for a lunch, dinner, or wedding after party.
Be the first to ReplyThe food is amazing.
Service was amazing. I came here for my one year olds birthday and they were so kind. And so welcoming. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food, friendly & responsive service, nice "rat pack"
Great food, friendly & responsive service, nice "rat pack" ambiance. Made my short list of North Beach restaurants.
Be the first to ReplyVery cool looking establishment.
Top notch speedy service. I had the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp and found it delicious not overly creamy which is commonly done and the shrimp was tasty . I especially enjoyed their spinach artichoke dip as it seemed like very fresh ingredients and not your typical generic fare and it came with delicious crisp large Melba toast like crackers which complimented it well . The calamari was very tender with a light and tasty batter . Really liked the accompanying sauces . The desserts were phenomenal but I especially recommend the butter cake . An excellent experience.
Be the first to ReplyImpromptu visit to this restaurant after our intended
Impromptu visit to this restaurant after our intended restaurant changed their menu to Persian food instead of italian. We wanted Italian. We stopped at Tony's, but the wait time was one hour and a half. This restaurant was able to sit us outside immediately. We'll take it. We sat overlooking the park. There was never-ending traffic of people being dropped off. Service was wonderful. Water topped off. Numerous check-ins. Got extra bread. My one disappointment was the salty chicken marsala sauce. Otherwise, it was delicious. I chose the side of ravioli (a meal in itself). I love the sauce, the soft raviolis). If you dont have teeth, this would be ideal. I got three pieces of breaded thin chicken with lots of mushrooms. Classic dish. My friend had shrimp scampi with noodles. Hugh plate. My other friend had salmon and a side of ravioli. We finished our meal with butter cake. Hugh to share with ice cream and sprinkled blueberries and strawberries. Very sweet, but it's another of their signature dessert. Actually, all their desserts sound good. They have the famous Zanze's cheesecake.
Be the first to ReplyThis place has amazing service.
But. At medium rare, the filet mignon was tougher than a Denny's NY strip steak. Pasta wasn't sauced enough (shrimp scampi). The good news is that the service and atmosphere of the restaurant itself is amazing and more than worth it!
Be the first to ReplyDO NOT ORDER RAVIOLI Went tonight for a dinner.
Got the Cobb salad and the ravioli. Cobb was decent/good, ravioli was spot on chef boyardee. To the T. It was really gross. Couldn't even come close to finishing it. I've been here other times and had a good experience so you guys get 3 stars. Would be 1-2 if I had no loyalty.
Be the first to ReplyToo loud.
Food below average, tried the chicken parm and was disappointed, chicken was rubbery. Service was excellent though.
Be the first to ReplyHighly disappointed with the service I received for my
Highly disappointed with the service I received for my birthday. I arrived on time for my 9pm reservation. The hostess told me to take a seat. Me and my party waited. As other patrons came in, they were seated fairly quickly. My friend went to inquire how much longer our party of 3 had to wait. They, and when I say they, I mean five people at the desk! They said they were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive?! Truly left a bad taste in my mouth. As we finally were seated, the host did not apologize as I shared this was unacceptable. At this point, my dinner was not going to be as exciting as expected for a birthday. It gets worse as Guillermo, our waiter, comes to the table. He was offended as I shared my experience and ordered a drink. He made sure to let the table know that it was not his fault. Thereafter, the service went downhill. In the middle of dinner, we had a new server. Just as dry, didn't introduce himself. Food is always good. Service sadly makes me not want to go back to this location. My friends noticed all this and felt the same if not more.
Be the first to ReplyWas brought here for a work dinner.
We were actually supposed to go somewhere else, but they weren't open until 5, so the consensus was to come here. They were able to accommodate my large group last second, and were fairly nice about it. We were put in a room, which was probably best for them, as my group is not quiet. We ordered a few appetizers. Garlic bread, cheesy garlic bread and the spinach artichoke dip. All were delicious. The dozen of us ordered many things. Vegetarian options, pasta, steak and lamb. Not one of us had a single complaint. The servers were all kind. Kept our drinks full the entire time. We ordered desserts, even though none of us really had room. There were a couple birthdays coming up so we wanted to celebrate. One of the birthday people was in the restroom when the desserts arrived and the server turned right back around. It was so nice of them. A+ service. A+ food.
Be the first to ReplyI personally thought this place is slightly overrated.
Don't get me wrong the food is good, but any entree on that menu is not worth $30+ which seems to be the minimum. The golden fried prawns were good, the spicy rigatoni wasn't too special. Garlic bread was on the dryer side and not that flavorful. The wisest way to dine here would be to split entrees since the portions are large. Cocktails are decent, lots of options. We got the aperol spritz which had sort of a bitter after taste.Reservations can be made online and no complaints with the service.
Be the first to ReplyAlways great.
Great ambiance. Great food. Excellent espresso martini. We were there for just drinks recently, but I love Joe's for breakfast as much as diner.
Be the first to ReplyWeirdly this was my first time at any original joes! We
Weirdly this was my first time at any original joes! We came to sit at the bar for drinks. Very good vespers. The restaurant itself was huge and has a warm and welcoming ambiance. We tried:Fried risotto balls: good, not too oily. Lemon cake: good, not overtly sweet and was refreshing.
Be the first to ReplyOmg dinner was great.
My brother decided to do dinner at Original Joes with my hubby and his colleague. I had a margarita, filet sole picatta with ravioli and the infamous butter cake. Omg everything was to die for and the ambiance is beautiful indeed. It gets busy so it's suggested you make a reservation. Service was amazing even with the restaurant being busy. Can't wait to return.
Be the first to ReplyI ordered the short ribs $39, it was 98% fat like rubber
I ordered the short ribs $39, it was 98% fat like rubber could not eat it. Waiter said he had never seen a piece of meat so bad, said he would ask the chef for a different peace of meat. I said no let's go with the Salmon ($34) to be on the safe side. Salmon came out half cooked, one side was cooked the other raw. LOL, I would never recommend this place, I guess I should have othered the pasta not sure how they can mess that up.
