The Joe's in our neighborhood shut down and we were looking forward to eating seafood...there was No hostess/ host at door when we walked in. There were 10 people standing there it appeared to be 3 different groups waiting for the hostess to get back to the counter. 5 minutes later when she got back she still had not acknowledged any of the people waiting.we hav to go to the bar and ask if we could sit there to eat .... if it had not been for the bartender we would have LEFT!!!!!
