| - Joey has always been my go to restaurant for any type of celebration. Every time my boyfriend and I visit, we order the ahi tuna tacos and calamari to share. I get the CAB prime sirloin, and he gets the filet mignon. Ahi tuna tacos used to come in 4 pieces, with a crispy taco for base and seared tuna on top with wasabi mayo. However, they recently changed their menu, and this became the Hawaiian tuna tacos, which comes in only 3 pieces (my boyfriend and I had to split the third piece), with the same crispy taco for base but topped with raw tuna and filled with rice. As a regular customer, I felt ripped off, and really disappointed because they aren't nearly as good as they were before. The calamari comes with asparagus on the side - pretty good but nothing too special. Both steaks come with crispy mashed potatoes, which are absolutely amazing (I don't know why other restaurants don't do this). The steaks are done pretty consistently, never undercooked or overcooked.
Food is good quality overall, but I find that the service is inconsistent. There was one time we were seated in the lounge. We had just finished our appetizers, and I dripped some sauce on the table. The waitress quickly wiped down the table with a napkin because she didn't want me to dirty my white blouse, which was very sweet of her. However, the last time I visited, we were in the dining room, and it was difficult to wave down our waiter. There was also some dried food stuck on the glassware. Since then I've had the suspicion that we get better service in the lounge, and always ask to be seated in the lounge area.
