Price: Moderate
• Italian • Daly City
Booked 118 times today
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.

Booked 20 times today
Itria is a Modern Italian restaurant brought to you by Chef Daniel Evers and Omakase Capital. The name comes from the Syriac word 'itriya,' used by Arab geographer al-ldrisi to describe a type of dried pasta he saw in Sicily during the 12th century. The origins of this term are much older, however, with varying versions of it found in ancient records across the Mediterranean and Middle-East. The name reflects just a small piece of the evolution of Italian cuisine as a confluence of global influences. Our goal is to build on the foundations of classical Italian cooking to create a dining experience that respects tradition without being overly constrained by it.

    Our first visit to this Michelin star restaurant Miller and Lux was an intriguing introduction to upscale dining. From the moment we walked in, the elegant ambiance set the stage for an evening of culinary exploration. We sampled a selection of dishes that truly highlighted the chef’s skill. The Tomahawk steak was a standout—perfectly cooked and bursting with rich, savory flavors that hinted at careful seasoning and precision in technique. The truffle mac and cheese was delightfully creamy and comforting, a modern twist on a classic dish that left us craving another bite. The salad provided a refreshing contrast with its crisp, vibrant ingredients, made tableside, while the deviled eggs were a playful yet sophisticated nod to traditional flavors, elevated with subtle, unexpected accents. Service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive, though it didn’t quite reach the impeccable standards often associated with Michelin star dining. The staff maintained a warm and polite demeanor, but there were moments when the level of personalized attention could have been sharper. As expected with a Michelin star establishment, the cost was on the higher end. While the prices reflect the quality of the ingredients and the artistry of the presentation, it’s important for diners to be aware that this is a premium dining experience. In summary, despite the service falling just short of stellar, the exceptional food quality and creative dishes made this first Michelin star experience truly memorable. For those willing to indulge in a high-end culinary adventure, Miller and Lux offers a gratifying taste of innovative cuisine and refined flavors.
