    A Perfect Evening at Joey Rideau We had an amazing girls’ night out at Joey Rideau! The food was excellent, as always — consistently flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, and the rosé wine was absolutely perfect for a summer evening. We really enjoyed the terrace — great ambiance, lively but still relaxed. This is hands down our favorite restaurant in the city. Whether you’re planning a casual dinner with friends, a romantic date, or even a meal out with your kids, Joey Rideau is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend — we had such a great time!

    The food was literally amazing. The gnocchi was something you would consider not petting a kitten in order to try a bite. The place was packed and the staff acknowledged the wait times with appropriate compensation before we even realized the food was delayed. Music was a little loud for a Sunday evening, though. Made for elevated talking volumes.

    Food is EXCELLENT! The service was good - it was really busy. Difficult to have a conversation due to noise level. Very echo. Overall a great dinning experience.
