Last September, we came to JOEY at Sherway Gardens to send our two co-op students on their merry way back to university. Our team had to vote between two restaurant choices. This one won by a convincing margin!
I made reservations over the phone. The person said that she would send me a photo by e-mail of the exact table where we would be seated. I was impressed! You also got an e-mail reminder about you reservation.
We were a group of eight. We got there, I gave the hostess my name, and we were led to the table. Yes, it looked exactly like the photo!
Both co-op students ordered the filet mignon that came with grilled zucchini, crispy mashed potatoes, and blue cheese butter. Everything looked so good that one of them let me take a photo of it. It helps that we are all foodies.
I went with the miso ramen. It was so good! It tasted authentic.
There is a lot of variety on the menu. I think that it would appease even the pickiest person.
The two students had indicated that they were going back to school to our server. All three of us ordered the molten lava cake that came with vanilla bean ice cream and raspberries. Their plates had raspberry and chocolate sauce that said good luck. It was a nice touch.
The molten lava cake was delicious. It is probably one of the best lava cakes that I have sampled in years.
The washrooms are on the top floor, which means that you have to climb a set of stairs to get there. I saw a couple of folks in their sixties slowly make the ascent. I don't know whether there are elevators for accessibility. I hope so!
It was a wonderful farewell for them and an excellent lunch had by all.
