content: Joel's is amazing!  Except for their price.Ok, I was ready to pony up for dinner for my mom and I, which I didn't mind.... until I found out what they charged me for. She got the veal while I got something with veggies. We received this tomato gazpacho that released steam which was a cool effect, complimentary, I supppose.  I absolutely enjoyed the bread cart (make sure to stuff yourself if you are only getting the two course meal because they are to die for, I loved the oregano bread!) when I told them it was my moms birthday they brought a beautiful tray of desserts as well as access to the wonderful dessert cart.  I thoroughly enjoyed the meal  as did my mom.  But I was shocked that the bill charged not only 7 dollars for a glass of soda, they charged for each glass we drank which was 7 between the two of us ( most of them were mine because I was so thirsty because the glasses were tiny!). I wanted to say something about it, but I didn't want to discuss it in front of my mom because show would have balked at the price. Be prepared for a lovely dinner that will charge you for every penny they can!  I would go again but will not order a soda.
