I was in the mood for something good, but not sure what, so I yelped the best restaurant in walking distance of my hotel. A steakhouse/ seafood place seemed as if it would have everything, and this place ft the bill - the look was classic steakhouse, and it was packed on a Tuesday at 10.
Short review: great service, great food. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. More details below.
The shrimp cocktail was so good that I almost had a Blues Brothers flashback and ordered two of them. However, I needed to save room for dinner.
I settled on a pork chop - a dish that just felt right here. The knife that they gave me was perfectly weighted, but seemed big and heavy enough to cut through an entire side of meat. Then out came the three-inch thick pork chop and I understood why such an implement was needed. This thing was thick, juicy, delicious, and appetite-killing, and that knife and I took it out quicker than Clubber Lang took out Rocky in their first fight.
Any plans of ordering dessert were ended, and I tried to think of another 80s movie to throw into the review. Then I realized that Joe's is like an 80s throwback itself - classic, no extra frills, really popular and I'll remember it fondly.
(I guess that I'll have to find somewhere else to use that Ferris Bueller reference)
