We chose to eat at Joe’s on Newbury on the same night that we were going to see Pearl Jam at Fenway Park. Being 1.7 miles away from our paid parking location at Fenway park made this restaurant’s location perfect. We drove from Connecticut and...Read More

We went there after being very disappointed in another restaurant nearby. The food was great, the drinks perfect, the bread pudding (dessert) was the best one I ever had. The place wasn't too loud and the staff was very friendly end experienced.Great experience, highly recommend.

During busy times, the restaurant handles its many tables and staff well, making sure customers have a smooth dining experience. However, the food, while decent, falls into the realm of typical American fare, lacking any standout flavors or creativity. The Baja fish tacos, seem overpriced...Read More
