Wines of the Week: KQED Wine Club
Our guests enjoyed these two delicious offerings from the Search torrents. Tonight's wines spotlight Old World elegance. Greensboro Hotels
2005 Domaine Michel Delorme, Pouilly-Fuissé, France
Among Chardonnay lovers, Pouilly-Fuissé has cache. From grapes grown at the intersection of the small towns of Pouilly and Fuissé in southern Burgundy in France, this juicy white with mineral aromas is classically styled.
2003 Macula “Tandem,” Navarra, Spain
A hint of age mellows the tannic grip of this spicy red, which makes a lovely match for grilled lamb with roasted potatoes.
Special Wine
2005 Signorello Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California
This bold Cabernet Sauvignon is the embodiment of the saying, “iron fist in a velvet glove.” With touches of Merlot and Cabernet Franc blended for complexity, this powerful yet plush wine is a keeper.

Boiled Beef, Spaghetti al Pesto, Chicken Piccata with Ravioli
The emphasis is on freshly prepared foods with no preservatives. No packaged meats are used. The restaurant cuts its own steak and breaks down veal from sirloins. Salad dressings are house-made. Popular lunch dishes are filet of sole and chicken scaloppini with choice of mixed vegetables, spaghetti or ravioli.
The roast beef and pot roast sandwiches are popular. The burgers are made from nine ounces of ground chuck with onions pressed into the patty and cooked on the charcoal broiler. Steak a la Bruno is a signature dish. The 10-ounce steak is marinated with garlic, olive oil, and a secret blend of spices, and then broiled. The 11-ounce New York-cut Minute Steak is also very popular. The traditional Joe’s specials are: veal scaloppine with mushrooms, roast prime rib, roast lamb, calf's liver, and steak with onions, bacon, or mushrooms.
There’s always roast chicken or broiled, and boneless skinless marinated breast of chicken. Wines, predominantly from California are available. Desserts are available. A house special is house-made fried cream in blue flambé, which is fried, soaked in brandy and brought to the table flambéed. The recipe is a secret.
Every morning before the place opens at 11PM, a line forms. Three generations of Peninsulans have enjoyed the fact that Joe’s of Westlake relies on true value, not trends.
I did not want to eat a five-dollar salad, so we asked for small side salads, which were sad and spare, and which ended up being five bucks. I ordered the Monday Special, which was Swiss Italian steak with steamed veggies. I was hoping it included mashed potatoes, but left it to chance. When my food arrived, there was a lovely mound of savory spuds right on the side of my plate.
The steak was tender, juicy, and everything I had hoped for. The potatoes were rich, delicious and had a satisfying consistency. The "steamed veggies," however, were obviously from a frozen bag. My dinner guests noticed the signature crinkle cut of the carrots as standard frozen fare.
Overall, it was a bit disappointing, considering the price. The servers could be more concerned about guest experience, but in no way were they rude or dismissive. This seems like a place that might be riding on its position as a community mainstay, but could do better by seeking excellence. There seemed to be a lot of locals and regulars, several birthday parties actually. The dining area was large and accommodating. Padded tables and very, very soft napkins.
It is a bit out of my way, but I would go back. The menu and website tantalizes me with the basic spaghetti with Joe’s signature meat sauce. I would love to try that. There is some good shopping nearby, so if one were to be in Daly City doing some gift purchases, this is a great place to meet and eat. However, if you are looking for well-crafted food with enthusiastic service, seek elsewhere. A few suggestions my pals and I would make are fresh ground pepper and cheese service, fresh herbs, and maybe look into getting excited about the side dishes. The best thing on our table was a chicken dish with lemon, capers, and ravioli. Last word: go with someone who loves this place so they can tell you what gets cooked with love, not duty.
It didn’t take us long to get a table, and I realized that majority of the clientele were older couples and families. I thought it took us awhile to put in our order.
Sadly, everything about the restaurant was brown -- the carpet was brown, the tables were brown, the chairs were brown, the walls were brown, and the food was brown. I personally had a hard time choosing something on the menu, as everything was meat, meat, and more meat. The few vegetable options that I found were the salad selection and mixed vegetable side dish. I was looking for something heartier, so I opted for the Spaghetti al Pesto.
My friends ordered tea and were given a pot of tepid water to steep their tea bags in. The second pot was much hotter, but the first was such a disappointment. The bread on the table was substantial but cold, always a drawback in my book.
The plates were huge when they arrived. In general, everyone who ordered a meat dish was pretty satisfied. I couldn’t believe I was paying $13.25 for a plate of spaghetti with pesto sauce! It was tasty, but certainly over priced. Overall, we were pretty underwhelmed by the dishes. It felt like something we could easily cooked at home. The hamburger steak was dry, but the chicken parmigiana was well received. It came with fries, which were fat and tasty. They must have been cooked in beef tallow because they had that greasy McDonald’s flavor to them.
Because the portions were so sizeable, we did not have a lot of space (or enthusiasm) for dessert. We ordered the most unusual dessert on the menu -- Fried Cream in Blue Flame. It was two slabs of fried cream in a small flaming small dish and floating in rum. Usually when a restaurant serves a flaming dish, the waiters make a big deal. We weren’t warned that the dish would be flaming or when to blow out the flame. We must have blown it out too early because it tasted distinctly of alcohol and didn’t go down the palate smoothly.
Overall, I would say Joe’s of Westlake is a kitschy, neighborhood meat place and is perfect if you like that sort of thing. The food is safe, familiar and hearty. A very average Joe’s.
