We came here for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and we were impressed by the lively atmosphere and attentive service. We had the pan-roasted mushroom pasta and the California chicken sandwich. The pasta had a lot going on, but it was still rather simple so the ingredients had nothing to hide behind - it was simple, but done well. My only complaint was that the garlic cream sauce was a tad salty and the bacon was out of place on the dish. I also feel like it was missing a more substantial protein, but for that price it's expected. The California chicken sandwich was enjoyable, but my companion would have enjoyed it more if it were baked.
We stayed for happy hour, and must I say, JOEY has a well thought out happy hour menu. It is more than worth the price and the definitely don't skimp out. We had few sangria's and the muskoka lager. The sangria was made very well and the amount of alcohol was very generous and not watered down at all. Lastly, we found it funny that the washroom was so far away, and they even had signs coaching you through finding the place. After a few trips however, our server let us know that there is a washroom on the main floor and the downstairs one is kind of an initiation thing for first timers!
