After a two-year closure, Original Joe's, San Francisco’s quintessential Italian-American dining destination, revitalized iconic Daly City institution Joe’s of Westlake, and reintroduced it into the community as Original Joe’s Westlake. An anchor of Daly City from 1956 to 2014, Original Joe’s Westlake underwent an extensive two-year renovation, complete with a front-to-back interior remodel, including the kitchen and all dining spaces, and an exterior and landscaping overhaul. Following the Original Joe’s tradition, Westlake continues to prepare unpretentious, old-school Italian-American fare in an open kitchen for all to see. The menu is carefully crafted to reflect a past-meets-present hybrid of what Joe’s of Westlake used to be and what Original Joe’s Westlake is today.
The service here is great. The waiters are always around. The prime rib looked amazing, but the flavor lacked. Very plain☹️. Maybe their Italian food is better?? The calamari was delicious and pinot noir was pleasant to the palate and so was dessert. The place was popping, people coming constantly, very loud. We did go at 5:30pm on a Saturday. Maybe we got our meal on a off and busy moment for the chef. But I would not recommend the prime rib and I don’t know if I would take my family back….
