| - Joey's has quickly become a pre-movie night staple. The ambiance, staff, location, food and drinks here are amazing!
First, the staff. Whenever there's an evening wait you can bet the hostesses will serve you delightful samples of whatever their daily choice may be. I've had craft beers, house wines, little tapas style treats that make the wait feel amazing. There seems to always be a wait, but it goes by fast and has become part of the experience. I last tried their house white, a sampling so successful my friend and I shared a bottle once we were seated.
Not only that, but the servers must be the sweetest people I've ever met. Loren was my server last night and she was amazing. As a past server myself I appreciate someone who knows what they're doing, who is sweet and professional and brings additional joy to the experience.
I've only really had salads here but I've loved them both. Flavourful with generous, quality ingredients. Perfect diced avocado. Juicy chicken. A friend of mine was concerned her chicken wasn't cooked completely and Loren said the kitchen is pretty anal about making sure things are cooked thoroughly, but quickly offered to take it away, brought her a small salad in the meantime, and had the manager come check on us later in the evening once a new, perfectly cooked dish had been returned.
Prices are a little high, but they're not unreasonable considering the location. They have daily drink specials and I highly recommended the cocktails with the slush added in. They're strong but divine, just the way I like them.
If you're looking for something a little more upscale with a great vibe, Joey's is your place. I will continue to return here often.
