| - Went here for lunch after hearing so much buzz about it. I'm giving this place 2 stars only for their decor and service. This place is beautiful. I sat on the covered patio on a beautiful sunny day in Toronto, so it was busy outside and allowed for a great vibe. Joey's is pretty big and goes quite deep into the back so don't be fooled by the smaller-sized patio...this place holds a lot of people.
The dining room is roomy and you don't feel crammed. However, its quite intimate and very, very nicely designed.
The menu? Its ok. Kinda pricey, especially for their 'lunch' items which are around $15-$20. If you like to eat healthy, even when you eat out, I would recommend you check Joey's website. They have a nutritional guide online.
When you take a look at this guide, you will be shocked with the amount of calories, fat and sodium they have in their menu items. Their 'Beach salad' which sounds quite healthy has over 600 calories, 45 grams of fat and 710mg of sodium! The best selection I thought was the Steak Frites and the side salad (cut out the fries). You can ask them to go easy on the seasoning and cut the butter when preparing the steak.
So basically, you end up paying a lot more for the food at Joey's, but its not of higher quality or nutritional value.
I think there are better options in the area.
