Joan's in the Park

First time dining at Joan's. Everything was fresh and well cooked. (Steak tartar was amazing) Extremely gluten friendly for my wife. My only wish was for more wine options. Staff was great, will definitely be back.

Enjoyed great service by Dan and the food was tasty. Definitely a great special dinner kind of place. Went for my husband’s and my birthday and they added cute decor to the table and nice extra treats throughout the night.

My husband made reservations last night and I was super excited as we had a wonderful meal a few years ago. We each ordered different dishes off the 4 course menu and honestly it was all awful, neither of us could even come close finishing a single course. I eat everything and love food of all sorts, but this was all truly inedible. 4 courses of tasteless mush. The owner came by mid second course and I said it was fine as I was just hoping the next courses would be on par with what we had before. They weren’t. My husband’s pork ossobuco looked like it had been boiled in water, it was a gray color with little to no sauce or seasoning and it tasted nearly as bad as it looked. The best part of the meal was the service which was perfect. When I called to give feedback, not even looking for a refund, the owner was just not very open to hearing me out and was actually very rude and condescending. It was by far the worst meal we’ve ever had out and between that and the owner’s remarks on the phone we will not be returning. I’ve never felt compelled to leave a bad review for anywhere in my life before now.

The perfect choice for our first real date since the pandemic. There were moments when I got emotional from a sublime bite, realizing how long it’s been since I’ve enjoyed a true restaurant experience like this. The wine pairings were thoughtful and my husband had the smoothest Manhattan of his life. The entire experience brought back the joy in dining that we’ve missed for so long. Thanks to Dan for escorting us through an exceptional meal and welcoming us to the neighborhood. We will absolutely return.
