THEIRS: HIS and HERS are in Boston for their 11 year Anniversary. They got off the plane, to their hotel and were starved. They saw, out Their window "JOE'S".
NOTE: HIS AND HERS DO NOT SEE EACH OTHER'S BLOGS BEFORE POSTING.
HERS: Joe's. Simple name. Simple food. FABULOUS location. My first impression was great. It was clean, close to the hotel and beautifully placed on the Boston Wharf. I was starving and saw a lot of things that sounded good on the menu. I was so hungry that the bread that came before the meal was gone in moments. Served warm with butter. It was mouth wateringly fabulous-a little crunch on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I ordered a chicken club sandwich accompanied with some fries and two onion rings for garnish. It was light, and yummy. I knew we would be doing some walking, so I didn't want to eat much. I was jealous of Wayne's food when it came. He gave me a bite of each thing on his plate and it was scrumptious. I would go back! My fries were a little to heavy with grease, but the onion rings and chicken club on wheat was light and tasty-not eating but a few fries saved me some calories for later! Right?
HER RATING: 7.5 Good food, decent prices for the touristy location and the service was friendly, but could have been more attentive. The location was perfect with the breeze off the water blowing through my hair. $40 for the two of us.
HIS: Stepping out of the taxi, I felt a rush of zen-like relaxation. I had one thought, "Man, this town is very cool." Our hotel is in a RIDICULOUS location - everything I could ask for, and some things I didn't think to ask for, are within walking distance. The harbor is great - boats of all varieties (all expensive of course). I had some great cod at JOE's, with a slammin' rice pilaf and fresh vegetables. Aside from the server that had just come from the beach and acted as if she was still there, the meal was a great start to the trip. The thing is, I didn't even care that the service wasn't great, because this place is super-relaxing. I just took my Dramamine and am ready for the Sunset Cruise.
This place is going to be fun.
HIS RATING: 8, Joe's restaurant: Food - solid 9 - service was a solid 4. Boston First Impression: what a great town. Rating of my traveling companion: Off The Charts.
