  • Dinner at Joy Bistro was a frustrating affair. Our reservation was confused. We were first offered a seat at the least desirable table in the restaurant, right in front of the door (and I would suggest this table be eliminated, as if I were seated there it would be a certainty I would never return). Refusing it, we were seated at the elevated tables (bar style) on the wall opposite the bar. The restaurant is fairly small, so these tables increase the seating space, but I personally do not enjoy eating a bar-style seats. Once we were seated we were promptly ignored for the better part of 20 minutes. Someone finally came to take our dinner orders, but I think he was the bartender. He could not answer any questions about the menu items. We hadn't even been asked if we wanted to order drinks. We had brought a bottle of wine to be uncorked at the restaurant. It took another 10 or 15 minutes for that task to be accomplished. Then our service disappeared again. Finally we asked the waiter from the next table to call over our server. She said she would just take our orders and became our defacto waiter for the remainder of the evening. She was pleasant and minimally attentive after that. I had the Rainbow Beet Salad with arugula and buffalo mozza. I enjoyed it. tangy pickled beets, light, creamy dill dressing (not overpowering), and the mozza was pretty good. One of my dinner companions did not like it. Too much vinegar in the beets was her complaint. Main was Lamb Shank with what was described as an apple-fennel chutney, but it was just sauted fennel and some raisins, from what I could tell. Accompanied by mashes sweet potato and rappini. The meat had a natural strong lamb flavour. It did not turn out to be to my taste, but no fault of the chef. The fennel whatever was fairly flavourless. The sauce was uninspired. The sweet potato mash and rappini were fine. Companions had the flank steak. I tried a piece. It was covered in a pesto that added much needed flavour. The steak needed some seasoning. The chicken carbonara was, supposedly, very good. Overall, meh. The service was less than desirable. The food was plain. Not bad, but not great. I will not return to Joy Bistro unless I must. There are just too many restaurants in this city to waster my time there again.
