    My boyfriend and I came in for our first time. I booked a reservation for his promotion at work and upon arrival David was on it from congratulating him and just making him feel special and seen on his day. Above that he frequented the table to ensure our experience was well and gave his recommendations which included the steak ravioli. We took his recommendation and man it had to be the best ravioli no exaggeration we have ever had. Steak was cooked to perfection everything was so flavorful. I got the pork chop which was so good I'd honestly get it again tomorrow. They even provided a celebratory card and dessert on the house cheesecake which my boyfriend said was one of the best he's ever had. Get the smoked old fashion! The performance is everything and the drink is strong! This was more than dinner it was an experience one I'd happily have again. Thank you to our server Madison for being so attentive and kind. David thank you for the extra detail put in for us and the experience we will cherish for a lifetime. Until next time!

    I had a party of 14+ for my birthday and couldn’t book online, and the staff at the host stand offered no help. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered. The dinner was nice, but the bill was poorly handled, which caused stress on what should’ve been a fun night.

    Ambiance is great. The food was mediocre. I spent $200 and went home and cooked. Food was pretty, just lacked seasoning and pronounced flavor. Had the sea bass and it was very oily and needed seasoning. The mini steak tips were very good. The lobster spaghetti had a teaspoon of lobster and the rest was shrimp. Peach Bellini was very good.

    A friend and I decided to try JOEY Uptown, as neither of us had been to one before. Upon arrival, the front hosts were very friendly and offered a complimentary glass of Cava (which was really yummy). We were shown to our table and proceeded to be serviced by Alana. She was very helpful in guiding us on menu items, knowledgeable when asked questions, and just all around super cheerful. Our spicy crab dip was a wonderful start. My friend had sushi and I dined on the tuna poke bowl. All well presented and delicious. For desert, we selected the butter cake with raspberry coulis. As a surprise, Alana had the chef put “Reunited” on the plate, written with the raspberry coulis, as she was aware that the two of us had not seen each other in over a year! Really made the luncheon extra special. Thank you Alana for such great service!

    Our first visit to Joey's was great! Celebrated my daughter's birthday and every member of the staff we encountered made her feel special! Amy the table manager came by and was very sweet and gave her a free cocktail and dessert to celebrate which was much appreciated! Food and drinks were top notch and our server Bryce was fun, friendly and attentive. We were very impressed! Restaurant is beautiful...we will love to return!
