Loved it! Had been here before Covid, but just retuning and it’s even better. The Cesar salad as an option without an upcharge was amazing . But the dishes were outstanding. I had stuffed chicken … one of my 2023 top meals. Spouse had chicken parm and it was as good as ever with lots left over … made for another nights meal. Service outstanding from Chelsea even if she is leaving:) Prices were great. Had a similar meal elsewhere for easily 30 or 40% more. This is a new keeper for us. Highly recommended!

We enjoy coming here for a weeknight dinner as well as a date night on a weekend. Love their martinis especially the dirty or French 75. They were very accommodating to my daughters 10 friends for homecoming, even for their own private room and everyone was very happy with their meals. For 2 with a soda was $45!! Doesn’t happen everywhere you go these days. Entrees come with salad or soup and bread. Highly recommend.

My fiancee and I recently came here for our anniversary after having an excellent meal here with friends several months ago. Joe’s did not disappoint. The hostess promptly seated us in a comfortable booth and, almost immediately, our waitress arrived and went over the menu with us, described items we asked about, and took our drink orders – an Espresso Martini for me and a Blue Lavendar for my fiancee. Both were refreshing and delicious – expertly made. We later ordered a dirty Martini and a Prosecco – again, both wonderful. For appetizers, we ordered both Calamari and Parmesan Black Garlic Truffle Fries with spicy aioli, and for dinner, my fiancee ordered Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken, and I ordered Pasta DuCale – shrimp, scallops, crabmeat, mussels, and calamari in a lemon-tomato broth tossed with thin spaghetti. Both meals were outstanding – perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned, and each ingredient stood out on its own – a rare accomplishment. You could taste everything in the dishes separately, yet enjoy the harmony they all created. It was one of the best meals we have had in quite some time. For dessert, we shared the expertly crafted Tiramisu. Sooooo good! It was a large piece and it took us both a while to work on it – but we killed it! Peoria, Illinois can brag on the many fine dining establishments here, and Joe’s is one of those places. Evenings – especially weekend evenings – are busy at Joe’s, so I’d suggest reservations. You’ll love Joe’s!

Your Food with Chef V
The food was soooo good! My hubby took me her for my birthday dinner and it was our first time dining here and we enjoyed every bit of it. I do wish we would have ate outside since it was a nice evening outside but we still enjoyed. The staff was friendly, the service was great and the food was awesome!

Great time. The lobster raviolis are amazing right now, it’s not on the menu. I think of you all they’ll make it for you. Warm and friendly atmosphere here, there’s outdoor dining too. The bar looked sweet and filled up pretty quickly on a Wednesday night. Everything was tidy and clean, staff were hard workers. Certainly deserves 5-stars.

We traveled 3 hours from the Chicago area to try this restaurant. Had their scallops and risotto. My wife had salmon. The best dinner we have enjoyed in a long time! Great atmosphere, super service. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Peoria area.

Best cozy romantic atmosphere. They want you to enjoy each other’s company so it’s dark. You can’t even take pictures because of how dark it is.

The service was good. The staff was helpful and polite. On the other hand, the ambience was too dim, a little congested as well. The food quality was good but tasted very average. The martinis were good. Expensive for the taste you get.

The food was excellent and the drinks were delicious. The hostess seemed a little flustered, but all in all a great date night dinner for a special occasion.
