I decided it would be a great idea to go to dinner at Joeys on Friday night at 8:30-9 pm thinking that the rush would have died down. Boy, I was sure wrong. My guy and I were told the wait would be half an hour but we only waited ten minutes! The service is great because you can choose to have a drink while you're waiting for a table and the hostesses are very accommodating. I decided not to have a drink and stuck with coke the entire night.
We were taken to our table in the dimly lit dining room, where I have sat many many times. I love the lighting and the decor and the seats are so comfortable except for the fact that you really sink down in them. I felt like I was 5 and needed a booster seat. Anyway, my date had the bacon mushroom burger, which when it came out, it looked like a mountain. Definitely a man burger. I had the chicken souvlaki which was delicious but in my mind nothing beats Opa! for that. Previously, I've had the California Chicken burger and the shrimp flat bread and I am always impressed.
For dessert, I ordered the strawberry shortcake which is my favorite dessert EVER. I always always order it when I go to Joeys. I adore this dessert except for the fact that it is crazy sweet. This time, there wasn't as much sugar in the whipped cream so that helped but the cake itself is very sweet along with the strawberry topping. I usually take half of it home to finish the next day when my sweet tooth arises!
Joey's is great for almost anything. Dates are fantastic there but so are girl's nights!!!
