Approaching the Maitre D’

The Maître D’ position at Joe’s is legendary, nearly as iconic as the stone crab, hashed browns, key lime pie, and tuxedos. While there's a ton of folklore and all kinds of “tips” floating around about how to approach the Maître D’, the actual process is pretty simple.

When you arrive at Joe’s, head over to the Maître D’ podium. There, the Maître D’ will take your name and the size of your party. Then go grab a drink at the bar; your name will be called when your table is ready.

That’s it.
