*Update* so it’s been a while but I went back to Joseph’s. Still good as ever. I had the Lasagna again and it’s the best I’ve ever had. Service and atmosphere perfect. Do yourself a favor and visit. End of update* A fantastic restaurant. Great atmosphere and the staff is excellent. I have only had the Lasagne while dining here because it's the best I've ever had. I can't make myself order anything else. My wife loves Joseph's as well. I highly recommend.

They don’t take reservations, so either get there early or be prepared to wait. The bread they bring is SO good…don’t eat too much! They make great cocktails, or the wine selection is also good. The appetizers are to die for, entrees are delicious. Try to save room for dessert, but they’ll make it to go if you can’t manage. Overall a great dining experience. It’s on the top of our list every time we come to Oak Island.

After closing on our home July 3rd and then unpacking for a couple of days we needed a break. Decided to try Joseph’s and We were very surprised when we didn’t have to wait for a table. Our server was amazing and the food was delicious!

Joseph's has been a hit or miss restaurant. Sometimes you have a great meal and then other times not so great . Service is always terrific. One aspect of their service, is that they do not take reservations. This somewhat baffling. In general I would say this is a good Italian restaurant.

The food was excellent! And the service by Marquise was even better! He displayed service that should be in every restaurant around!! Very personable and fun to chat with! We will definitely be back!!

We were looking for a place that could accommodate us for a party of 8 for a birthday dinner while we were visiting the area and after we tried to get in at several other places we landed here. It did not disappoint! Food and service were stellar and the atmosphere was great. We loved it and we all agreed that we were glad that we weren't able to get in the other places!

My husband and I were discussing where to go for dinner. We haven't been to Joseph's in a while. The pasta dishes are pretty standard but I'm picky about red sauce - most has a metallic taste to me. I love their red sauce. I had the shrimp and scallop dish. My husband had the fruiti de mar. Both were delicious. It was expensive but for what we got I didn't feel it was out of line.

Lamb was out of this world! Veal was tender , everything tasted great. Service was impeccable (marquis was so attentive!) outdoor and indoor seating but get there early a line starts forming at 440pm for when they open at 5! No reservations but we’ll worth the wait

Delicious duck, friendly service, able to quickly accommodate a party of 8 on the fly on a busy summer night. Maybe we just got lucky with our timing, but our table was ready before we finished our drink from the bar. Great experience.
