Stopped in for the Chiles de padron. They were decent but lacked the full cooking to get fabulous pimientos de padron in Spain

If JoLe's demographic region was based somewhere random sub-urban throughout US, this restaurant would have shine for me. By comparison to a flock of Michilin 1-3 stars restaurants in this region, JoLe didn't work out for me and my family. Duck breast was undercooked and fish was overcooked. Perhaps the chef had a bad day.

My husband made reservations three weeks ago for my birthday weekend. When we arrived they were closed for the month of January. Why didn't someone contact us? Disappointed.

We came here for our 1 year anniversary dinner and it was very good. Both my husband and I had the 4 course meal and we only got 1 dessert. The dishes we had are the following: 1. Steak Tartar/Spicy Prawn Sambal: Steak Tartar was great. My only complaint was I thought it was a little odd to have it already on hot bread. Spicy prawn dish was a little too spicy. Both my husband and I like spicy food, but this lingered for a long time and the sambal was all we tasted. 2. Potato Gnocchi/ Duck Confit: Gnocchi was my favorite dish. These were perfect. Duck dish was also very good with the mushrooms and the apple sauce was a great accompaniment. 3. Grilled Spanish Octopus/ Grilled NY Steak: Octopus was great and so was the NY Steak. The steak was my husband's favorite dish. Cooked perfect. This was also a huge amount of food. 4. Quail/ Meyer Lemon Dessert: The quail dish was our least favorite. The skin was not crispy and just came off the bird kind of rubbery. The avocado didn't add anything to the dish and all I tasted was the sauce. The meyer lemon dessert was a great ending because it tasted very fresh and light. I had the wine pairing and everything was perfect. Learning about the wine was actually my favorite thing of the whole night. I would recommend this place.
