Joseph’s Restaurant

Great atmosphere most of the dishes are very good however the tomato sauce is horrible it’s clearly not made at the restaurant and bought in also the gnocchi which were supposedly home made were defiantly frozen but everything else here is very good

This place was recently remodeled and the interior has truly become a pleasant site. They also have a new chef, who I believe used to be a chef at the former Gubbio’s. I took my mother out for dinner (she likes low key places with a nice ambiance) and we were greeted promptly at the door and seated without any wait. After looking through the menu for a few minutes, I ordered the seafood fra diablo/​diavolo and my mom ordered the veal marsala. My side salad had a wonderful creamy Italian dressing and my mother’s had a very thick bleu cheese in which she stated numerous times was the best-​tasting bleu cheese she has ever had (our waitress seemed to agree with her assessment). As for our entrees, I was pleased with mine. I ordered mine with a spicy kicker and it was a perfect addition. I have a decently large appetite and I was full at the conclusion of my meal. The pasta was cooked well and the shrimp and scallops within the pasta were magnificent. It made me wonder why they do not have a scallop dinner available. My mother was pleased with her meal as well. She did not have anything special to say about it but she said she was content.
I would definitely come here again. Beautiful setting for a quiet dinner and solid food.

OK. The food and service was good but not outstanding. The staff was trying but I didn’t have that warm comfy feeling. Was disappointed that domestic (or craft) draft beer was not on tap.

This is my first Unilocal review, and I signed up specifically to share our awful experience at this restaurant. My partner and I were very excited to try this place out since we heard there was a new chef and changes were made. It was a hugely disappointing. It was not busy when we got there on a Friday night, however we were waiting for the hostess to come back to the station to seat us for 10 minutes. Eventually a waitress just seated us. As she showed us our table the hostess showed up and handed us menus. We asked if we could sit outside and she said there were no tables. Within 15 minutes two couples came in and asked to sit outside and she brought them to tables on the patio. We let it go thinking she must be new.
We both ordered wine. The wine tasted very off, as if it had turned.
The food was the worst part. We ordered grilled calamari as a starter and it was extremely chewy, overcooked, drowning in oil, and tasteless. The side salad with our entrees were a disgrace. The 5 or 6 lettuce pieces were thrown on a small dish and were brown. I ordered a ribeye medium rare and it was the worst steak I have ever had. It was grey, extremely chewy, and dry. It seemed like it must have been previously frozen. The marinara sauce on the side of pasta was very watery and again unseasoned. My partner ordered the panko encrusted tuna with wasabi sauce. It was extremely oily and cold. It tasted almost like frozen breaded fish you can get at the grocery store. The wasabi sauce tasted like salad dressing.
The hostess came to take our plates away and asked if we wanted boxes since a lot of our food was left. We told her the problem with the food and she just smiled, chuckled, and said sorry. There was no follow up. We couldn’t wait to just pay and leave.
The only good thing was that our waitress was pleasant. Maybe we ordered the wrong things or went on an off night. I hope others have a better experience here than we did.

Renovated and new chef! If you’re from the area, Joseph’s is now home to the chef from Gubbios that was in Dunmore. You can find the infamous pretzel chicken and pretzel crab cakes on the menu here which are the same as at Gubbios. They have an outdoor dog-​friendly patio too. It used to suck but it’s a lot better now.

The service here is fantastc. I think managment may have changed because the place is much more consistent than it was before. Fully stocked bar is nice too.

Restaurant is horrible. I went here twice. The first time when they first opened I had horrible service, orders were all screwed up and soups were cold. Not too mention the room they sat us in was 50 degree (no exaggeration, there was a thermometer on wall). Second time wasn’t any better… service was awful food was just ok. And get this, now it was summer and AC didn’t work, it was like a Sauna! I can get over heat/​air control but service and food quality was very poor!
