We were served food less than 10 minutes of ordering and paid our bill within 45 mins. Never asked if we wanted more drinks and the food tasted as if it was reheated which made sense. You can't cook salmon or a burger in 5 mins.

The food and location were good. Service was poor. Order taking was disorganized, had to ask for napkins, silverware and plates even after the appetizer was already delivered. Entrees took about 45 minutes to get delivered . Even had to wait for children's meal ice cream desert to be delivered. Disappointed with the experience

Made a reservation on a non busy weekday. Arrived and our party was seated. Watched 10+ waiters walk by our table to service others. After 30min of no service we left. Hostess just said "oh"....

Server was good, took a long time to receive our food - only had 2 appetizers. Food was just okay, baguettes were cold/dry.

Wonderful dining experience! The host was exceptionally welcoming and flexible in accommodating our preferred seating arrangement. The service was professional, the food was outstanding, and the waterfront views were unbeatable. I had requested a small gesture for my wife's birthday, and they kindly placed a candle on the dessert cake, making the moment special and memorable. Would love to return again and again!

I've lived in Boston for a number of years and always wanted to visit Joe's. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it for brunch. We ordered a veggie omelette with a side of chicken sausage and chicken and waffles. While the waffle was good, it came with 3 tiny nuggets of chicken. The omelette was cooked well, but both the potatoes and chicken sausage were so overcooked, they couldn't be eaten. It looked like they just forgot them on the grill. Additionally, our server never checked on us to refill or drinks or ask how our food was.

Very good birthday meal, Mac and Cheese was a little watery. Spinach and artichoke dip was great, steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare. Salmon was amazing. Asked for extra ice cream on the skillet cookie, highly recommend. Overall, extremely good, would go again!

Very wonderful experience, hosts were very nice. Nice music from a local artist playing while you eat and look at the water. Beautiful!

I booked a table a bit last minute for an 8:30 reservation on a Monday night. The restaurant in and out was very busy and lively. We were seated I a booth and our server Sophia arrived promptly to introduce herself and get our meal started. Sophia really made our experience very special. She is an excellent server. She was friendly, warm and sincere. I was having dinner with 2 sisters that had not seen in sometime so we were having a lot of conversation. Sophie never interrupted and seemed to magically appear at just the right moment. That is a talented server. The food was good. Very solid in quality and portions. Prices seemed fair for the location. One of my sisters had eaten here before and enjoyed it which is why we dined here. I would recommend this restaurant. Ask to sit in Sophia's section if she's working.

This is a neighborhood restaurant for us and we usually stay away during summer months because it's consistently mediocre. Usually that's meant in a good way-decent food and good atmosphere on a regular basis. Last night we decided to go and quickly remembered why we avoid during summer. Crowded, under trained wait staff and long waits for items like raw oysters that don't require much prep.
Went for a date night and we had a reservation. Note if you have a reservation you'll be seated indoors the outdoors is first come first serve. it took the server 35 to come over to get our drink order which led us to order food at the same time then another 15 to get the drinks which came out at the same time as the food. Not a bad spot but definitely was not the right environment for a date night. The outside could be better and the service wasn't great.

Service and food were ok. Rice was under cooked and crunchy on one dish, salmon had too much lemon sauce (overpowering the fish) and drinks were incorrect. Fish tacos (2 per dish) were very good.
Claudia
Great food. Their avocado burrata toast was on point. A super simple dish, but savory. The potatoes were amazing!

We had a wonderful time at Joe's Waterfront- thank you! Our server was fantastic & the food was delicious- and the location was perfect for the Harborfest fireworks! Wow!

The team accommodated all our needs with a smile and sense of humor. You can always count on Joe's.
