| - I was excited to visit Joey at Yorkdale as I had heard they had a gluten free menu, which they do - it is quite small, but still nice to see when many restaurants still don't have one.
I ordered the beach salad - I believe the only different was mine didn't have the candied pecans. It had cabbage, strawberries, goat cheese, chicken, some quinoa on top and probably a few things I'm forgetting. It was dressed is a pretty tasty lemon poppy seed dressing (a flavor I generally dislike but thought I'd try out this time - delish!)
I really liked the green cabbage in the salad. It really added to the taste of texture. Probably something I will now do at home!
The server was decent. We were seated in the lounge but didn't have to wait long for (the only) booth (left) to be cleaned. I don't understand these places that basically strong arm you into sitting in the lounge. I always prefer the dining room.
The server wasn't overly attentive and I think only stopped by the table 4x when we were there. To take the order, drop off the food, ask how it was once and bring the bill. I don't like being constantly asked how my food is while I'm eating, so I was okay with this.
Overall it was a good experience, but very expensive for what it was. I don't think I would make the active choice to return, but wouldn't mind stopping in if I was in yorkdale. $17 is quite a bit for a salad that doesn't leave you feeling quite full.
