Great food and service

We went to Joe Fortes last year for a business lunch on a tight schedule and informed the waiter of this as we were seated. Dishes were brought on quickly and the service was professional.
Food
Jumbo tiger prawn cocktail appetizer was delicious. The same can’t be said for the calamari which was good but nothing special. I had the cedar planked wild salmon—the glaze was just perfect. The wine pairing was right on.
Service
Service was attentive yet non-intrusive. They made sure we were right on schedule. Outstanding service.
