Description: I was very impressed with this wonderful restaurant. With soccer people overrunning the area, there was a 30 minute wait for a table on a weeknight. Word was out that Original Joe's was the place for fine dining at a great value price.
We initially were going to wait in the bar area, but it was quickly elbow to elbow so the manager opened up the upstairs "HideOut" for several groups waiting for tables. We enjoyed the company as we enjoyed adult beverages.
Once we were seated, our server Frank was attentive wanting to be sure that we had the beverages we wanted. The round of cocktails ran roughly $8 each. They were not stingy with the booze and after two (on an empty tummy) I could feel the affects.
Before we placed our dinner orders, we were brought a full loaf of warm Italian style bread. MMmmmm very good.
I ordered the veal parmigiana ($26), which also came with choice of pasta, potato or steam veggies. The portions here were HUGE. For me, the serving brought to the table could have been shared between two maybe even three people.
Others in our group had pork chops . . . practically an inch thick ($23); ravioli ($17) and a variety of other pasta choices. The menu probably had a good 25 or 30 selections, so there was no reason for anyone not to be able to find something of interest or their tastes.
I would not hesitate to come here again for dinner . . . or to recommend them to others arriving for a convention in the coming year.
