    Our server, Ty, was amazing! So attentive, but not intrusive. He spaced our meal perfectly so we never felt rushed and had time to enjoy each course. The meal itself was incredibly plentiful (we both took half our Thanksgiving plate home) and delicious! We were so glad we chose Joe’s for our holiday celebration!

    The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!
