| - Joey's sort of reminds me of a slightly more upscale Moxie's. The decor is similar, the menu items are similar and the waitresses look similar, except these ones wear more modest pencil skirts, as opposed to the mini skirts that Moxie's favours.
That said, I don't think I have ever had as good a meal in a Moxie's.
I was having a HUGE craving for grilled cheese. I couldn't get it out of my head! So I went onto Yelp and typed in grilled cheese and this place came up as being open and not too far away.
So off we went to the Shops at Don Mills. I've never been to the Shops at Don Mills before, although I have heard of it many times. I'd be interested to come back sometime when stores are open, but in the meantime, into Joey we went. That sounded funny....
Anyway, we ordered calamari appetizer and drinks (beer and a cocktail). The calamari itself was alright, but I really liked the asparagus on top and the aioli.
Problems arose in terms of the drinks. The waiter recommended the bellini, but then it turned out that the slush machine was umm....slushing. I had to wait until after my meal came to get the bellini, but the waiter was very apologetic and gave regular updates to the progress. It wasn't a huge deal, but I can't help but take points off. When you are paying $60 for two peoples' dinner, you don't really have a choice, right??
My husband ordered a simple caesar salad, which was good, but basic...that's not their fault, that's just what caesars are. I liked the freshly grated parmesan cheese on top though. Better than the powdery stuff that comes from a jar.
Now...my sandwich. I of course ordered their grilled cheese, but this is not any grilled cheese, it is a LOBSTER grilled cheese...oh yes....oh yes....
The bread was buttery and crispy, the cheese perfectly melted and most importantly, it did not overpower the lobster. You could taste the lobster, which was in big chunks in the sandwich. It was delicious.
The sandwich comes with a large helping of their "skinny fries", which are similar to McDonald's fries, but less salty, thank God!
I NEED to have this grilled cheese again and this place is open late nightly, so good to keep in mind, next time I get a grilled cheese craving. The service is good, prices a little steep, but to be expected in the area. Next time I think I'll order the soup with the sandwich, because I feel like it will work more nicely together. I could be wrong. It remains to be seen!
