I appreciate all the gluten free options. We enjoyed the pasta with vodka sauce and the Brussels sprout salad. Both delicious.

Everything was perfect. Will be returning because sometimes you can't get into the Big Joe's. Baby Gem salad with chicken and zucchini fries were plenty for me. Both were outrageously large & delicious.

Excellent, great service, good as good as Italian gets. Service was perfection! A hint, the portions are quite large, check out the portions on the other tables, related to many of the dishes, they can be shared! We left with a boxes full of “tomorrows” lunch! Definitely a nice evening out! Great for “date” night, a birthday or an exceptional meal.

I booked a reservation at 9:45pm 2 weeks before. On the night of my reservation around 6pm, I received an email from OpenTable that my reservation was cancelled. No notes from the restaurant. I called them immediately and explained that someone cancelled it. They put me on a brief hold and said “someone came in and canceled your RVSP.” Ummmmmm, I did not lol. They kindly placed me back on their list but there was no email confirmation so it did not feel as secure. Upon check-in, I waited a few minutes for the hostesses to stop their personal conversation before they assisted me. I was then informed that the party at our reserved table had paid but was still present. My group and I waited outside for about 20 minutes before checking in again. At that time, we were offered an available table near the front entrance, which I declined due to the noise and traffic, opting to wait longer for a better location. After an additional 7-10 minutes, a different host seated us at the table I had initially refused. When I mentioned the earlier offer for a different table if we waited, I was told it was now reserved for another group, which was disappointing as we could have been seated earlier. Once seated, our server was helpful and kind. My only complaint about the dining experience, aside from the seating delay, is that the staff neglected to package our sauces with our leftovers.

Obsessed!! We were able to get a 10:45am reservation on a Sunday morning and was seated right away. Love the ambiance and the place is nicely decorated for the holidays. Our party of 3 got the Cesar Salad, Zucchini Fries, Mary Me Farfalle, Ravioli, and a Pizza (can't remember the name) and everything was absolutely delicious! We're already planning for our return.

Great service. Went for my girlfriend's birthday and was so worth it. Drinks were great and food was superb

The appetizer plate of zucchini is fantastic and shouldn't be missed unless you don't like zucchini.

We had a great lunch on Dec 4th. The service was excellent and we were not rushed. The CBR chopped salad and Classic Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese were wonderful. The Prime Rib Dip was huge. I ate half and took the other half home for lunch another day. We will definitely go back there again.

What a wonderful all round dining experience , one of the best in the Bay Area!! Keep up the good work!!

Alison

Got and loved the vodka pasta, vodka pizza and Brussel sprout salad. 9/10 on all of these - drinks were incredible too. Service was a little slow and communication between servers/bussers was a bit clunky but overall would come back! Great atmosphere

Moira

Great atmosphere to gather friends and family during the holidays. Festive drinks, effective decor and waitstaff was prompt but not intrusive. Food is large so come hungry and share so you can get different things. Pizzas are great onsite and later!

Susan

Our dinner server was excellent. Food was solid American classics. Prior to sitting at our table, we found the bartender to be rude.

Angelica

LOJ is amazing!! The service is amazing and quick. The ambiance is great, the food is phenomenal!! I don't think there's a menu item that is not good. It sucks that it is hard to get dinner reservations here but worth the wait for a far out resy. Will be coming back over and over!
