| - This is the second time I've been to Joey's Yorkdale, and both times my expectations for the food and service were exceeded. Actually, the service this time was fantastic. Our server was extremely attentive, paid close attention to allergies and offered to let us sample our cocktails before actually purchasing a glass, just to be sure we would be happy with the drinks. When a friend unexpectedly arrived to join us for drinks they quickly accommodated us at a larger table mid-meal.
We ordered fried calamari to start (super crispy and delicious with a spicy aioli sauce), I had the Steak Frites, which was perfectly cooked, though slightly small at 5ounces. My companion had the salmon bowl which she absolutely loved and was happy she had ordered in place of the grilled salmon. For desert we had the apple pie, which me easily shared between the three if us. The meal was heavy yet satisfying.
The only thing that bothers me is sitting upstairs next to the open concept kitchen means you have a lot of good odours to accompany your meal. My dress smelled like food as well.
They have a bar area, dining room and lounge area, and had various games playing on big screens around the restaurant.
Overall a great place for a chic, yet casual night out.
