Absolutely stellar service! The menu is large and varied, Food was delish, but imo, currants (and beets!) do not belong in a house salad! It would have been handy to have the ingredients listed. Nice wine list, but our top two choices were sold out. The food came quickly and the servers were knowledgeable, had great recommendations, and were so fun. Great night.

Food was delicious. We had cod, chicken and pasta dishes as well as vegetarian tacos. Server went above and beyond to accommodate one of us who had a food allergy.Very friendly place. Highly recommend!

I have been dining at Joey‘s for years. They have always removed the shrimp from the fish tacos to accommodate my shellfish allergy (as early as last week at Yorkdale location). I was advised that that wasn’t a possibility and that never should happen. It was against Code . I was offered the cauliflower tacos as a substitute and did not enjoy my meal. I barely consumed half a taco and was charged for the entire meal. My two guests were satisfied with their meal and I did not want to make a fuss. Most unfortunate I will not be returning to this location. In addition, I ordered the guacamole to start which I love, but we didn’t have more than 2 tablespoons of the actual guacamole . I would’ve expected more consistency within your brand because I frequent the Sherway and Yorkdale location on a regular basis.

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!

Food was unfortunately not up to its usual standards. Change of menu, no sliders which wete excellent, Chicken lettuce wraps the chicken was not tender, shrimp tempura very oily, sushi cone were so much more tasty. Why change? Will not be tempted to return.

Unfortunately not the experience we were hoping for on our special anniversary celebrations. The service was very slow and it seemed there weren’t enough staff present. My husband's ribeye steak was inedible as it was 70% gristle and should never have been served. We were offered a replacement but given the speed of service the rest of us would have been finished before he got a replacement. Given the cost of the steak and the experience of the chef they should have known the cut should have been rejected. Had visited Joeys the week before in Toronto where the service and food was on a different scale. Won’t hurry back.
