My wife and I️ hadn’t been to Joan’s for a couple years but went there for dinner this past Tuesday. Now I️ have no idea why we stayed away so long. We split a salad, a nice bottle of wine, my wife had the scallops,...More

What a lovely restaurant! It was our anniversary and this was acknowledged by the host, server and chef and little hearts were sprinkled on our table. A lovely start to what turned out to be a great meal in this cozy little restaurant. The chef...More

Fabulous food, professional staff, engaging owner (Joan). The pastry chef made a visit to the table to deliver our desserts which were wonderful! The only down side is after 7:00, the noise level increases. That said, we'll be back! The opportunity for outside dining looked...More
