Joanne’s Table — Restaurant in Fairfield

We had reservations at 7:00pm and our food was served at 8:10pm. I heard so many amazing things about the food and the vibe I was really excited to try it out. We were sat in the corner by the espresso machine and forgotten. Our bread wasn’t even given to us until 7:40pm so we ate most of that until our food came out. I did not feel the welcoming environment and I’m not sure if that’s because of our seating but I felt out of place. The chicken parm was good but the meatballs that everyone has been raving about were mid. Nothing special and overhyped. I encourage this restaurant to be more mindful when it comes to new customers. The table next to us were constantly checking on and asked about refills.. and talked to each other on a first name basis. We did not get that same service. I hope in the future no one experiences...

We celebrated my birthday last night at Joanne's Table. They must have known I was coming because the special of the night was soft-shell crab. My friend and I ordered it. It was probably one of the best soft-shell crabs I have ever eaten. It was lemony and served with homemade angel hair pasta and spinach. Fabulous! We also had the special of the night salad which again was remarkable: Arugula, grilled artichoke, and grilled portabella mushroom with a little goat cheese and home made italian dressing. We are still talking about it! The boys had Branzino which was very good and my husband had the biggest meatballs I have ever seen! They shared a ceasar salad which was good too! Joanne was the hostess, the bartender and waitress. She was so welcoming and made the best martinis! We will...

I’m sorry but this does not live up to the hype. It’s just a plain restaurant and it smelled like weed when we got there. They dress unprofessionally and our waitress had a ZYN bobbing up and down her lip while she was talking. There’s a select menu so my only chicken option was chicken parm. It had no sauce and a sliver of mozzarella with grated cheese on top. Deep fried in old smelly oil. The linguini was dried out and crusty -oil and garlic based- just awful. My friend had gnocchi with Gorgonzola which literally was so overcooked it melted when she cut it and the sauce tasted like just plain heavy cream. Literally the worst restaurant in Fairfield. Chicken parm was $35!!!! Most expensive...
