“STILL A LONDON CLASSIC”
Reviewed 21 December 2016 via mobile

It has been more than a decade since I ate at Joe Kool's. It is located close to home and my wife, son and I stopped in for lunch. Nothing has changed since the last visit. The service and food are still first-class and the atmosphere is lively without being painfully loud. Our next visit will happen very soon.
