| - This was my first time going to JOEY Don Mills, and I really enjoyed it. It was neat how they had valet parking, but then again all the other restaurants had it too. It was a Friday night (holiday night) and it was pretty busy, but we were seated quickly at the lounge/bar area. If you are looking for a casual and fun dining experience, JOEY is definitely the place to go! There was also a leafs game on that night and we had great seat for the game.
Once we were seated, our server came soon after. I noticed that the restaurant did have a lot of staff. which was great since I would say the overall service for the night was fantastic! We ordered 2 appetizers for the 4 of us- tempura-fried calamari and the spinach and artichoke dip. I really love how this chain also adds some asian touches to their menu- very unique and does work well.
For the entree, I ordered the ahi tuna club. I did change the bread to sour dough, which was the best choice I have ever made since I have had this same dish at the Eaton Centre and Yorkdale locations! I find that in the regular burger bun of some sort, it was very difficult to eat and so I asked the server if I could substitute, and she checked for me and it worked! My other friends ordered, the oh so yummy lobster grilled cheese (you can never go wrong with this one!), and the herb crush salmon...once of my friends substituted the mash potatoes with brown rice. All the mains were really good, and I have to say that every time I have tried the salmon at JOEYs it was cooked to perfection.
I also ordered the summer sangria, and it was good girly drink I'd say- I wished the weather was actually a little warmer for me to thoroughly enjoy it.
Another JOEY visit awaits...I will be back!
