Chicago Conference Time: Joe’s Seafood!

June 13, 2013 · FoodHussy · Leave a Comment

Recently I was at a conference in Chicago and as the Food Hussy – everybody in my crew looked to me for where we were going to dinner. So during breaks I was feverishly Urbanspooning my butt off trying to find good food, good rating and availability. Oh yeah – there was a giant restaurant conference in town too. #grrr 

Luckily – I had success with Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab – um long name anyone? Luckily the website is nice and simple – Joes.net. 88% approval, we could walk there and they had an opening – SOLD!

It definitely looks like an iconic spot – on a large corner with a huge photo – we were looking forward to heading in and relaxing with some adult beverages and excellent seafood!

First up a bread basket – I wasn’t using my belly space on bread – but it did look good! I did have a margarita before dinner too – it was really good!

The guys wanted Calamari ($13.95) – so we got calamari. I’m not much of a fan – really it’s the tentacles that I can’t stand. The rings are fine – but never really seem that amazing. That said – I tried the rings and they were good.

Then we hit the holy grail – I ordered the special – a bone-in grilled halibut. There are no words for how good this fish was. It was flaky, meaty, light, succulent, buttery, refreshing – oye – seriously – if you go to Joe’s – ask for this. I hope they have it. WOW. 

It is one of the “sides are separate” – so I ordered some 4-cheese Mac & Cheese ($9.95) for the table and it did not disappoint. This was probably the best restaurant mac & cheese I have ever had. It was creamy and cheesy and the pasta still had a bite to it. We polished off this bowl – no question!

Pretty sure this is the Seared Ahi Tuna ($33.95) – it was a hit as well. All three of us really loved our choices. The guys made fun of me for not finishing my amazing halibut but it was HUGE! 
And here’s a shot of my coworker Matt & I. I had to share cuz honestly – I think I rarely take a good photo – and this one is so cute!!! I’m so happy and tan and full! 

Why Should You Go? We had a delightful meal. We were all torn between steak and seafood but in Ohio – we have a lot of good steak – so we really went for the seafood and it did not disappoint. I’m a big fan of crab and it’s even in the name – but when I asked the server if I should get stone crab or the halibut – he didn’t even bat an eye with his halibut reco. If any seafood lover was heading to Chicago – I’d highly recommend Joe’s!
