What a wonderful restaurant that has taken a severe fall from grace. This once fine upstanding restaurant which oozed charm and even better food is now an extremely overpriced shell of what it once was.
My wife and I had recently made a trip to Joey's for an evening out and were both excited to make the trip. I ordered the chicken francese and beer special of the day, while my wife ordered the eggplant parmesan and a glass of wine. Each meal was served with a house salad and side of pasta. Both salads were very ordinary, much of what you would expect from a house salad in an itallian restaurant.
As the meals arrived, my chicken was as tough and dry as a roofing tile and as flavorless as one as well. The side of pasta that arrived with the meal looked as if the kitchen had cooked the pasta, and dumped a can of diced tomatoes on top. The sauce was clumpy with ZERO flavor and was extremely watery. I complained to the waitress who returned to the kitchen and took the meal off the bill. Despite the meal being removed the total bill still came out to $40! For two drinks and one meal I was extremely surprised at how expensive this restaurant has become.
This is a sad day to say that I will never again go to Joey's for another meal. With Little Italy in closer proximity to my house and a much better quality of food at comparable prices, there is no need to ever go back to Joey's. Buyer beware, review your options wisely before going to Joey's and dropping a boatload of money for subpar food.
