Service is always great. We discover champagnes or wines that were even on our radar. Plus, the atmosphere is so pleasant.
I’ve been longing to come here. It’s a cute lil wine & food bar in Fulton market area. They don’t offer wine flights but have 5/8oz/bottle so we ended sharing 4 different-8oz bottle to make our own flights! Parmesan puffs were good, but I was expecting more melted cheese inside of the puff itself but the parm fondue was great! Octopus paella was surprisingly very enjoyable. Def would go back 10/10!
Went to for restaurant week and got the 4 course meal. The service was great however the food was a bit underwhelming as we heard about the great reviews. We wished the portion sizes were a bit bigger as we left still feeling hungry. The Octopus Paella was really good however everything else was not that exciting.
Overall very satisfied with my meal. I came by with my friend and brother after seeing that Joe's Imports received a Bib Gourmand this year. The fried parmesan puffs were INCREDIBLE - I'm truly shocked this isn't reviewed more frequently. The burger and whipped ricotta were also very tasty. The only disappointment was the cacio e pepe cheesecake - it was sweet but otherwise nothing special.
Had an absolutely amazing dinner here together with my wife. We ordered 5 dishes to share between us, and each one was absolutely incredible. Our waiter, Chase, was amazing and helped us with both the food menu as well as picking our wine to go along with it.Food came out as it was ready, and was always fresh. The other staff members were very attentive and made sure we had water at all times, as well as removed empty plates quickly.Atmosphere was great, with music that was present but not overly loud and cozy lighting that kept the mood well without making it too dark to read the menu.Joe's Imports is easy to recommend for a date, semi-formal work event or a drink with a friend. We'll be coming back !
YES! YES! YES!!!!My wife and I are suckers for Italian food, which is perfect because Chicago always has so many new spots to try. The problem is when you spend $$$, and get bland food, and meh experiences.Joe's is NOT that. This was one of the best food experiences we've had when comparing to our trip to Italy last year.First drinks: Under The Tuscan Rum, is fun, light, and a great cocktail! The PCP was surprising but in the best way! The wines were also very good.FOOD TIME: We started with the Whipped Ricotta which was very good. The honeycomb was the absolute best, but you can't forget the bread. It was buttery and crispy, and the perfect vessel for the ricotta. We also ordered the Raviolo and the Gnudi. The Raviolo was perfectly cooked, and the filling was very yummy. The broth was the perfect compliment. The Gnudi was by far our favorite dish. Super soft dumplings, amazing pesto, warm olives (its good, trust me). YUM!We were not going to get dessert but kept staring at the Berry Shortcake, and then were very glad we ordered it. I kept imaging myself as Pru and Paul, having nothing but good things to say while eating an amazing dessert.Ambiance, Service and decor were also very delightful.
This place is amazing. If you're looking for a wine bar in the west loop, give them a try. The wines are legit, the service was personable (bonus points) but what stood out were the appetizers. The brussel sprouts, steak tartare, whipped ricotta (especially this dish) were filling and not expensive. I'll definitely give Joe's my hard earned money in the future.
Service also lacked! Food was served cold.
Joe’s impressed with brunch. Compared to many restaurants that use this meal as a quick money grab, Joe’s delivers quality service, food, and atmosphere. The selection of wines caters to every palette and the food was tasty. One issue was that the spinach pasta dish was a bit under-seasoned. The team was polite and accommodating and really made the experience great.
Food the serve is really good and Pate was the best!!
