That's why, so many years after learning those values from his mother and grandmother, Jim continues to share great food and outstanding hospitality at Joe Fish, The Loft & Dos Lobos, iconic North Shore restaurants where everyone from the staff to the customers are treated like family. It's Jim's passion that Joe Fish, The Loft, and Dos Lobos do things differently than the traditional cookie- cutter corporate restaurants. Staff take pride in getting to know their guests, remembering favorite dinner and drink orders or recommending new ones, and welcoming everyone with a smile and a great meal. Ongoing staff training and development means that every restaurant is clean and comfortable, and every meal is innovative and delicious. Jim not only shares his passion for food and entertaining with guests and staff, but with his family, too. Jim grew up in the restaurant business, busing tables from the age of 12 at the diner where his grandmother worked. He and his wife, Terri, the true woman behind the man, went on to raise their own children, Jimmy and Brittany, in restaurants, too, where they worked prepping, hosting, busing, and learning the business inside and out. Jim's children have followed in his footsteps, joining him on his journey to fulfill his dream of owning successful restaurants. They did it out of the same love and passion that has always driven and guided their father. Jimmy joined the company in 2012 as the Director of Operations and is now a partner, and Brittany recently joined as the Director of Marketing and Special Projects. Now that the company has grown to four restaurants strong, it's the definition of a true family business. Not only do Jim (CEO), Terri (Comptroller), Jimmy, and Brittany actively work full-time within the company, their spouses, Katelyn, Professor of Human Development and Human Services at Merrimack College and Todd, Senior Product Information Analyst at Putnam Investments, know and understand the hard work that goes into running a business and fully support their goals. After more than 20 years in business, Joe Fish and The Loft in North Andover and Dos Lobos and Joe Fish's second location in North Reading, continue to provide guests with food that's lovingly and creatively prepared in an environment filled with fun and personality. Jim, Terri, Jimmy, Brittany, and their teams work harder than ever to deliver warm, friendly, personalized service every single day, and of course, serving fresh, delicious food that always keeps diners coming back for more.
