Best restaurant.

Joe’s Downstairs in Phuket, is a seaside restaurant situated just a few minutes drive from Patong and located at Kalim beach. Great location, delicious food and ambiance. We came here for a birthday celebration with a big group. The staff are fabulous and accommodating. We...would recommend the soft shell crab, pulled pork and apple pie dessert. Prices are higher than other places in Thailand but we believe it’s totally worth it. Very comparable to a upscale restaurant in Australia regarding pricing. This is one of our favourite restaurants in Thailand and we return every time we are in Phuket. If you drink - do yourself a favour and grab a espresso martini while you’re there.More

Lovely place for a sunset meal on a special occassion

Contrary to some of the other reviews, we found it an extremely comfortable and enjoyable evening. The view was stunning and the cocktails and food were amazing. Of course you can get super cheap and great-tasting food everywhere in Thailand, but you should already be...noting the prices before you walk into any restaurant. Staff were perfectly friendly so all-round a lovely night.More

Most expensive meal in patong

We arrived after risking it as nobody replied to our booking enquirey. Fortunately there was a table for us with a beautiful view . The staff were very polite and provided good service . Food was very expensive and only of average quality . I...had just as tasty from the street venders although obviously part of the cost was due to the location. Would only recommend here if money is no object and you don’t particularly want the experience of traditional Thai food.More

DO NOT COME HERE!

It was my birthday (5th MARCH) and my girlfriends decided to surprise me for dinner here. So, they ordered a dessert for me and when was asked to bring it, a waitress by the name SU/SUE was VERY VERY RUDE! When we confronted her and...asked why was she being rude, she was RUDE AGAIN by answering that it was because we asked her for the desert three times. So, I never knew that asking more than once is equivalent to self-proclaimed right to be rude!!! The cherry on the top of the cake was when we asked them to take a picture of the group, they took a picture WITHOUT ME IN IT!!! How RIDICULOUS is that when I am the BIRTHDAY GIRL. Beautiful view i must say but EXTREMELY HORRIBLE SERVICE WITH UNFRIENDLY AND RUDE STAFF! Average food too.More

Great Tapas

We got 4 tapas plates to share between the two of us and it was really affordable with generous servings! The crab noodles were amazing, as were the wontons. The quality of the food is great and anyone staying in Phuket should come here!

2 stars is generous

2 stars is a compliment. Taking your glass away when you decline their request for another drink. Lack of etiquette. YOU SHOULD NEVER ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! The customer decides, not you! Guess the ownner is Thai as this is the norm inThai establishments....Waitresses were unattractive middle aged retired wrestlers (yes I am sexist so sue me). Grossly over priced menu with the view being the excuse. Go somewhere elseMore

Beautiful views

We had our Christmas lunch here and unfortunately we where the only ones there. Got a little concerned but the food was tasty. A little overpriced and small portions. Friendly staff and the view is amazing!

How could anyone give this place a low rating?

How could anyone give this place a low rating? Set almost on the beach but halfway down the cliff, even in the evening with lights illuminating the rocks and sand it has great views. The service was impeccable, attentive but not intrusive. Excellent food, we...were in need of something more fusion after 4 weeks of wonderful Asian food, washed down with a good bottle of crisp white. This isn’t trekker’s grub, it’s let’s have a treat and indulge ourselves.More

Very disappointing, poor standards, very high price!

This was a very disappointing experience. The food is less than average, the service is poor (no one seems to be happy at their job!) and the price is way too high for what they offer. The decoration is like sitting in a bathroom and...unless you get a table with sea view at the veranda, all the other tables are pretty bad. Either near the entrance or kitchen. Don't go! Go next door to the Italian restaurant, La Maurizio. The food there is great and so is the service. Same owner but totally different class!More

Thanks for your comments. Most people love the white decor against the backdrop of the blue sea. Sorry you didn't enjoy Joe's.

I doubt it - Thailand generally and Phuket in particular is very relaxed.
