I love going to Joey's (been to quite a few other locations), but for this review I'll only be giving it 2 stars for multiple reasons. First off, the food was just okay. I usually love Joey's food but I'm not sure if it was just that one night was off, or if it's this location since it's my first time coming to the Eaton Centre one. I ordered the steak with butterflied prawns and it came out at room temperature and became cold quickly. My sirloin was also undercooked as if it was blue rare.. which I definitely did not ask for. The crispy mashed potatoes were really chewy, it was not crispy at all. Everything was just at room temperature and got cold real fast. My boyfriend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which he told me wasn't good at all. He loves that dish but he didn't even finish his dish and that never happens so you know it's bad when... The drinks were okay, I got the frozen rose and he got the mojito. I prefer the Cactus Club frose over Joey's.. nice attempt at it though haha. For appetizers, we shared the yam fries with truffle aioli??? It was meh. The apple pie with vanilla ice cream was also meh. All the food was just MEH. Maybe it was just that one night but I was so disappointed with their food because I honestly love eating at Joey's. Last but not least, it was a Thursday night at 9pm and it honestly wasn't that busy and there were people working.. but it took forever to get their attention. Our server barely took care of us, he was always mia. We often saw him sitting at another table flirting with these girls lol, can you believe it he actually sat down at a booth with other customers to flirt with them while he's working. We were trying to get the bill but it legit took over 15 minutes because he just wasn't paying attention to our table/tables he was serving.
On the bright side, I love the atmosphere of this location in comparison to all the other ones. I do want to come back again and give it another shot because I truly believe it was just one bad experience and we got unlucky.
