| - I am updating my previous reviews raving about this place because of the following:
This used to be my go to place for Brunch, dinner and lunch. Everything was always yummy and fresh, the service was great and the wine list elaborate. A couple of months ago I took a couple of friends there and as soon as we walked in we noticed a stark change in he service, no one greeted us at the door for over 10 minutes, the hostess and the waitresses were just passing by ignoring the patrons. Then we got a table, now Joy used to always be packed with people, but this time it was a few people here and there. Being a regular there for many years as soon as I saw the menu I was socked, no more steak frits, duck confits, or other yummy French foods, instead they had KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and few other fried food you'd find at cheap bars not a fine French restaurant. I asked the waitress and she said oooh because it is a slow night the chef has changed the menu, and I believed her! We left the restaurant because out of the 5-6 items that now replaced an elaborate menu we could not find anything we liked to eat. I went back a couple of weeks later, thinking surely they have gone back to their old menu, but the same scenario again! This time I asked the waitress and pressed her to know what is going on? She finally admitted the management had changed and the new owner is taking the restaurant in a new direction. If you ask me, he is taking a fine establishment and making it into a fst food joint! It really bothered me that the waitress lied to our faces before.
I had previously wrote a glowing review of this place, but after this I will never eat there again. I'm just so disappointed that someone took the jewel of Leslievill and replaced it with a combination of McDonald and KFC!
