Went to Joey's yesterday for the first time. Apparently this is a big deal. So many people asked me whether it was my first time I started to get embarassed (not really). Service was speedy verging on the ridiculous. Diet cokes were swept away to be refreshed mid-sip. No less than 4 separate servers/staff came up to our table to ask how we were enjoying our meal, service, and, most importantly, "Joey's". I heard the word "Joey's" repeated so many times I was tempted to tease the staff the next time they came to my table (and there were plenty of opportunities) what the name of the restaurant was again. I started to wonder whether they had a merchandising department in the works a la Hard Rock.
As the other review points out the atmosphere is urban, post-work bar with waitresses in identical black dresses and heels, darkened lighting and a really exceptional al fresco front area.
The food, and it should be noted that it comes last in the review, was fine. Nothing excessively good or bad about it. Better quality and selection than some chains but still feels chainy - over mayonaissed, cheesed and baconed but within that scope fine. I had the ahi tuna club and it was cooked well but the mayonaisse and whatever else was on it overpowers the tuna - next time I would ask for the dressing on the side and it didn't come with a salad or fries. I ordered a separate order of the yam fries and they were also fine. In the end my verdict on the food is - fine. Price - typical.
