Downtown San Jose icon Original Joe’s is set to reopen today after a remodeling and retrofit project that had the restaurant closed for the past three months. The Italian restaurant has been a fixture in downtown San Jose since it first opened back in 1956. A $1 million remodelling and retrofitting project will result in a new booths in the main dining hall, a new upstairs bar area for customers waiting for a table, and a new granite countertop for those who enjoy dining and watching the chefs at work. OJ’s or O-Joe’s promises to have the same great food and same great service, but with a new look. Bring your appetite.
