Not Your Average Joe's - Westwood: A Taste of New American Flair

I do like this restaurant. The bartenders are really good and the food is always great. It is a bit loud when it's busy but that's not a deal breaker for me. Also the patio and firepit is nice. We usually sit at the bar unless we have a group.

We were pleasantly surprised with the flavor, quality, quantity and overall experience with this restaurant. 1st day husband asked for the meatloaf dish, 30 minutes in we were informed there were out. From there on, the restaurant manager took care of us and even went ahead to tell us the meatloaf was one of the best dishes and recommended we tried it, daring but we took him by his word and returned next day. He did not dissapoint. Then next day my chocolate was a mess but the food was sooooo delicious, and the service was so fantastic I didn't care. I did not leave a crumb in that plate. I loved the menu options, the had amazing offerings for different oalates and lifestyle. Definitely recommended and we will be returning.

I'm pleasantly surprised. I was just having lunch with a friend and wanted to try this place since I work close. I didn't realize it was brunch on Saturday! I had the chilaquiles l, which were very good. The strawberry lime rickey amazing. The fried donut holes amazing. So glad we came. Our server so friendly.

Friendly service and the meals are so tasty and generously sized. My husband and I come here quite often for dinner and love that they have such a huge, varied menu. I think I have tasted nearly all the salads and they are all so delicious. Full of flavor and generous portions. The complimentary bread and garlic oil is also amazing. The peanut butter thing for dessert is very indulgent. So good, but huge! Definitely one to share.

My husband and I chose to eat here because it was close to the hotel we were staying at and we were absolutely blown away. Amazing experience. Our server, Osmar, was friendly, outgoing and prompt. We ordered the nachos and the steak eggrolls and both were delicious. The presentation of the plates was beautiful. Osmar recommended that we try The Peanut Butter Thing from the dessert menu and it was the best: a perfect peanut buttery, chocolate, caramel delight. I just wanted to give Osmar the recognition he deserves because he made our first ever visit memorable and if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be back to NYA Joe's because of him.

Great customer service, Maile was truly fantastic. The table bread and pizza were very good. We enjoyed our visit very much.

I was a little hesitant after reading the reviews but decided to give it a shot. The bread and the dipping oil is perfect. I tried the lobster Mac & cheese with a side Cesar salad. Everything was delicious and the server was super nice.

They were able to separate foods for my kid who had aversion to jalapeños and lettuce. Which was great to allow him access to try new foods, albiet a known form of nachos. The pork was flavorful, a mixture of sweet and salty that I can not place but would want their marinade recipe. It was solid. The bread amazing as always, but light on the olive oil and heavier on cheese, maybe they changed the recipe since their Randolph test kitchen closed. I feel indifferent to it. The bread is the same, but the dip has so much cheese that it's changed. Like a grocery store changing around all its isles, it's different than it originally was. Is that for the good? Indifferent. While the food looked great, it was severely missing key flavors. No lemon in Chicken Piccata; which, while it had a ton of capers, which I like, just missing any acid and more one note, than flavor and tone. Chicken was cooked great. The watermelon sangria was mixed poorly, with my S.O. getting 90 percent of the alcohol of the entire pitcher she felt. Again, it didn't taste like watermelon despite looking great. Even asked for no ice in it, even if we got half a pitcher full. We expressed we didn't mind, still got served with ice, and it tasted like a watered-down drink. The sangria pitcher did make 4 glasses, but it was mostly ice, so it was just watery and nearly clear. Kid liked the burger, but what kid doesn't like a burger.
