Their basic spaghetti bolognese is surprisingly impressive. Sweetbreads are decadent, burgers & warm butter cake are addictive. The carbonara is one of the best in SF, the lasagna a must-tryUpvote17Downvote- It's still got it's good food even though it was formally known as Westlake Joe's now new management under original Joe's as well good atmosphere and good servers,T,Y.

Judy SolanoJune 11, 2016Fabulous veal parmesan, and Christian Campos the bartender makes you feel so welcome and at home, and makes a superb drink. He even delivers it himself!UpvoteDownvote
Craig VillamorOctober 8, 2016Steak Ala Bruno! They did a nice job on the remodel. Awesome decor. True to the mid-century modern style.

If you order the burger (and you should), be sure to ask for it char broiled. That used to be the default, but now you have to ask for it specifically.Upvote1Downvote
John Manoogian IIISeptember 4, 2019The 🍔 burger is extremely large on a big sourdough bun, and half was almost too much. Split it! Also, it’s an older crowd who’s used to overcooked meat 🥩 so I’d recommend medium rare or coolerUpvoteDownvote
Gary BaderApril 21, 2017Its all good . From famous hamburger on French bread to veal parm and pasta everything is great you will not be disappointed.UpvoteDownvote
Marlon EFebruary 20, 2019Fried calimari, chicken parmigiana, and ravioli were tasty. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive to our needs.UpvoteDownvote
Sal BelleciSeptember 22, 2018I like the veal scallopini and pork chops only been there 3 times. The lasagna is the only one I’ll never order again

Paul MansfieldJanuary 27, 2020The donuts with jelly filling with some drip coffee is a nice little dessert

Edgar RoyDecember 31, 2018Good family restaurant, good breakfast. Get anything with the crab.UpvoteDownvote
Angelica WOctober 18, 2016Great food but you will end up waiting 2 hours for a table on busy nightsUpvoteDownvote- Jennifer AntelmanNovember 30, 2018Mashed potatoes and dining atmosphere were good. Service, wait times, parking and food quality were not.UpvoteDownvote
Emily LeungJune 27, 2018No longer lives up to the charming greatness that once was Westlake Joe's, though the standby waits still span 90+ mins! Oversalted food, disappointing meat quality, poor value & slow wait service.UpvoteDownvote
Bill WetherellMarch 27, 2016Food is fine but the wait is awful. Was hoping this neighborhood gem would be worth it but sadly no.UpvoteDownvote
