| - There's a new spot around the popular Yonge and Dunas area for after work drinks, dinners or last minute meet ups. Joey is a popular chain that's found in multiple cities across Canada. Its located along Dundas and situated right beside Ryerson's Ted Rogers School of Business. So it can definitely be a choice for young budding students who might be meeting up for student gatherings, celebrating victories over projects or exams.
I came here for after work drinks to meet up with some coworkers after over a month of intense project work. The wait at 6pm was still 30 mins on a tues. So this place isn't just conveniently located but popular. What's nice was while waiting they give you wine samples to try out. They provided a simple chardonny which wasn't bad. The entrance door is massive so it definitely gives you that sense of grandness as you enter. The whole place is nicely decorated in a modern and chic fashion. The place looks great and the patio was what we wanted. They have these nice plush booths with a great city street view along Dundas. What's there to not like?
We got a few drinks while we tried to digest the large menu, I went with a sleeve of Keith's Indian Pale Ale which was the special that night. After much discussion and recommendation from the very friendly waitress, our group took those recommendations to heart. I went what the suggested lobster ravioli. I was quite torn as I felt like a burger that day, but friend said it didn't taste that good at all. He said, how can you mess up a burger? Lol, I was very much tempted to explain, but I'll save it for another day. =)
The food took about less than 20 minutes to come out which is pretty quick for a restaurant of this size and supposed calibre. The lobster ravioli tasted fresh and I liked the lemon dill cream sauce. It was simple and pretty light. My only gripe would be it didn't fill you. And it wasn't like every bite was filled with lobster but it was satisfying so keep that in mind when coming. My friend liked it too but somehow his rating went lower as the night went on. I know I liked it and wouldn't mind ordering it again if I was in the mood for pasta. The menu is pretty extensive, so I know I would try another dish when I can back.
Overall, I liked Joey. It's a good looking restaurant in a great location and tho it is more expensive, it's not the worst choice you can make around Yonge and Dundas. Could you try out Woo if you want more food, definitely. I mean I haven't even tried it out either so why not right? But Joey is a happening place with a patio that I really enjoyed. So I'll be back, for drinks indefinitely. And for food? Sure why not. How did you like the food at Joey's? Or is it more of a drinking grounds for you?
