Jo's American Bistro is the place where you can eat a bacon jam burger in what looks to be your rich uncle's living room. To explain further, the decor feels like you can spend some time looking at the menu, and enjoying the hospitality of the venue. Other restaurants may specialize in a churn 'n burn style of service, but Jo's really feels like you go here with the intent of a Christmas dinner quality. Even in July. But enough about the decor, which has earthy tones and rich trim patterns. The menu is moderately sized, giving enough options but not overwhelming someone with choices when hungry. Multiple burger options were available, which led to the choice of the Bacon Jam Burger. Starting off with the cocktail menu was the right idea. A cocktail called the "Desert Flower" included tequila (or mezcal, was it?) and was sweet enough to be called the "Dessert Flower." Some cocktails have a taste profile that buzzes down the mandible in some kind of sensory dance. This cocktail was one of those. Recommended for those who imbibe responsibly! Gluten-free options are available. A freshly baked roll was available for an extra $2, worth it with some butter. That same roll was used for the burger, a good enough substitute for the real thing. It was wonderful to hear the server say that the fryolator for the french fries was separate from the glutenous items. A separate and dedicated fryolator for the French fries? Sounds good to me. There is no information available on the business' sustainability practices.

Navigating the challenging parking situation at Bowen's Wharf, Diego's offers a delightful experience with its exceptional food. I indulged in the flavorful Korean BBQ pork belly tacos and Crispy Brussels with Ponzu and Garlic for appetizers--delicious! Accompanied by a generously poured margarita served in a mason jar glass, the traffic involved in getting here became much more manageable. While perusing the menu, I made mental notes of other appetizers and entrees for a future visit. The Arugula & Street Corn Salad caught my eye, and I'm intrigued by the tempting description of Pimientos de Sal (shishito peppers with aioli). Diego's also boasts a full Vegan menu, not just a few options, which I find commendable. Oyster Mushroom tacos, Roasted Beet and Butternut Squash tacos, and Buffalo Cauliflower Burrito--all sound appetizing, even for a non-vegan like me. They also offer a complete Gluten-Free menu. (Note: If you choose to park in the lot where The Mooring Seafood & Kitchen Bar is located, be prepared for steep parking fees.)

Food was fantastic. I got the grilled chicken tacos and they were delicious and loaded up. My family members got a gluten free pizza and reported that it was high quality. As well as the fish and chips. Highly reccomend.
