Summer is here and that means patio season! Joe Fortes held a patio party last week to officially open their rooftop garden patio, complete with bar, and to celebrate Joe Fortes' 30th anniversary! It was a full house with lots of delicious food to go around!



Mmm number one in my books! Fresh shucked oysters at Joe Fortes. I always love going to their happy hour. They have buck-a-shuck every day from 4 to 6 p.m. and a discount on the bar menu - the patio bar applies!

Dungeness crab cones

 Mmmm.

Miso marinated sablefish

One of the best dishes you can order at Joe Fortes is the Miso Marinated Sablefish. These tasty morsels were practically inhaled; they disappeared the instant they were brought out!

Crab & Corn Fritters

Halibut burgers

There was a Build Your Own Taco station as well as a Make Your Own Margarita station.

Thai Chicken Drumlettes

I know Joe Fortes is a seafood place but these Thai Chicken Drumlette were amazing! So delicious. Not part of the regular menu unfortunately. But it is part of the blue plate special!

Desserts rounded up the evening.



Happy 30th birthday, Joe Fortes!
