San Rafael Joe's

Old School Restaurant, which has made fantastic meals for what seems eternal! We had the Prime Rib last night and it was extremely delicate and tasteful. The staff was also great and very attentive to all guests in the large dining room. We have added deserts since we celebrate our anniversary, but really, that was probably too much food.

Charming building and atmosphere. Excellent and competent staff. Excellent old cocktails. Delicious food. Some of the best live dinner music I heard. Just the right band with the accordion and sang some unforgettable Sinatra songs perfectly in the mood. Overall a wonderful experience. I would like to visit again in the future.

Excellent vegetarian salad (with chicken). I was so pleased with it I skipped the dressing which I'd ordered on the side. Sole menuiere was excellent. Beautiful paintings, bar, stained glass, and social distancing. Attentive service. We'd return! Update June 22: We returned and order the same items and enjoy them just as much!

Ambience: Fancy and good for special occasions Parking: Street on 4th street. It's free after 6pm. There is also a parking garage near by Wait Times : Not too much Reservations: Not really needed Wine: Being an Italian restaurant they had a pretty good collection Menu: They have a lot of options to select from Diet: They have both vegan and vegetarian options along with GF options Food: Good. Generally all items had less salt when I visited

I reserved this place for my fiancee's birthday, thinking it was more of an upscale restaurant. The atmosphere is way more casual, and more of a local crowd. Although, the prices and service where more upscale. The service was good, and friendly. Be prepared for a big menu though. It was a little overwhelming to be honest. To many choices, so to us it gave a bit of a diner appeal. We had Calamari, which was good, good breading. The salads were good, but if you dont like beans, beware. Would've liked to seen onions on them, but I love them. I ordered the Prime rib, with baked potato, and mixed veggies. Prime rib was perfect! If you are used to dipping your meat into extra Au jus you'll have to ask for it. The veggies were a lil bland but cooked good. My fiancee got a Veal Scaloppini Sec with mushrooms. (Local favorite) and he only ate the meat. The mushrooms and sauce wasn't appealing to his taste or mine. We had cheesecake for dessert, as it's my favorite. I was a little disappointed. It was very flakey, and not as creamy as some that I have had. Calamari, prime rib, veal, 3 glasses of zin house wine, 3 vodka soda waters $155
