Took my mom out to Joey's for her birthday. There was a total of 5 people in our party. First time i walked in the establishment, I was impressed by the revolving door and the upscale decor. Staff were mostly friendly. Now about the food ....
Appetizer:
AHI TUNA TACO to start. It tasted just "ok". Each taco had a piece of cold seared ahi propped on top a pile of creamy coleslaw nestled in a taco shell. It was messy to eat as everything fell apart. Each item seemed to stand alone without correlation to the other ingredients.
Entree:
-BABY BACK RIB WITH YAM FRIES (at no extra cost) . It was fall off the bone good. BUT! the sauce was disappointing. It tasted like the sauce was quickly brushed on and did not have time to soak up all the flavours. So i tasted the boiled pork first , then the sauce after. I was a little disappointed as i had higher expectation from Joey's
-KOBE BEEF MEATBALL SPAGHETTI was delish! I might just order this one on my next visit.
-STEAK was decent.
Dessert:
-We had the BANANA CAKE WITH COCONUT ICE-CREAM was surprisingly delish and flavourful. Quite refreshing and not too heavy.
-We also had the APPLE PECAN CRISP WITH MAPLE ICE-CREAM. It was a pretty good comfort food. Reminds me a bit of Beaver Tails only way better.
Drinks:
MOJITO - I've had much better ones elsewhere
MARGARITA SHAKEN - This one was good.
Overall, the food i ordered didn't make me go wow! but I will give Joey's another chance and try out some of their other dishes.
