| - Came for my actual bday with the bf because we happened to be shopping here. I didn't even realize they had a Joey's at Sherway, so I was pleasantly surprised. I do enjoy the other locations (yorkdale and shops at don mills). I felt this one was consistent.
Food:
Hot wings - The presentation was fine, but it would have looked more appetizing had it been on a slightly smaller plate. Chicken wings themselves were juicy and tender. Marinated with franks red hot. Came with blue cheese dressing. My personal preference would be for ranch or dill. I will ask them if these are options next time. I also wish it came with some carrot and or celery sticks. Server brought us a bowl of hot water and there expanding wet naps which I thought was cool.
Filet mignon - Came with crispy mash potatoes and veggies. I always thought these "crispy mash potatoes" were a bit strange. I'd be happy with just regular mash potatoes instead of these "fancier" ones. Not comparable to going to an actual steakhouse, but the dish was still good over all.
Yellowfin tuna salad - Consistent with the other locations. I love this salad. The dressing is so simple. The salad is well balanced with the perfect portion of veggies, tuna, nuts and dressing. I don't think I could get tired of having this salad.
3x Sangria - It was good, but not as good as having it during happy hour ($4.00 at happy hour, $9.00 all other times ). I also noticed that they put more fruit at the other locations (unless they stopped doing this too). The sangria at this joeys only had an orange slice and no other fruit.
1x Henderson's best - First time trying this beer. I really enjoy amber ales over all other types, so enjoyed this one thoroughly.
2x corona - The lime wedge in the second corona was too fat and was a struggle to put into the beer bottle.
Service: 20 minute wait for a dinner table, we had no reservations as I don't ever plan anything for my actual bday (normally lands on a weekday). They took my phone number and told me they will text me when the table is ready.
We decided to have some drinks at the bar while we waited. Luckily there were exactly 2 seats left. As we ordered some drinks, we told the bartender we were waiting for seating elsewhere. He was nice enough to give us the dinner menus to look at so we can decide what to eat while we had some drinks at the bar. He also let us know that we can settle the bill as soon as our table was ready (making a smooth transition).
As we were seated at our table, we noticed it was slightly small.. Maybe I felt this way since two ppl just vacated a large booth right across from us. I felt bad for asking since our server had just seated us, but she checked with the front counter to make sure we can move and they let us without any issues. Moving seats did mean we had a new server though.. too bad because she was super sweet.
Our next server did take some time to come around, but it was fine because the first girl already took our drink order. We also had some time to appreciate the brickwork and large art piece hanging in front of us.
Once he finally came, the whole service went smoothly. He was a bit chatty, but I can't knock a server for being in a good mood or for actually doing their job well. My preference is to have a little more privacy, but I'm sure other ppl really enjoy this type of service.
Everything came out quick enough and he made sure we always had drinks. He even brought out an extra round of drinks when we actually declined, but I don't blame him because it was really loud in there. I genuinely think he just misheard us. We also didn't bother correcting him or sending them back, so yolo.
Final thoughts: I enjoy joeys over most other likewise chain restaurants. I would come back to this joeys if I happen to be in the area. The wait was not too long, food was all consistently good (with other locations) and the service was exceptional.
Note to self: Stop snap chatting and take regular photos. Took some quality snapchats, but yelp won't let me upload.
