    We unfortunately had a disappointing experience at Joey’s last night. I usually enjoy dining out there. It took considerable time for a server to ask if we wanted drinks. Our steak was not hot enough and we didn’t have utensils when the plate was served, nor were asked if we wanted wine with our meal ahead of time. The food was okay but not great. We finally received our wine when the meal was over. I don’t recall experiencing such poor service before in this type of restaurant. Fortunately, we weren’t charged for the wine and offered a complimentary desert for the inconvenience. We had the impression that the service team was disorganized. Not sure if I will go back. This is unfortunate as I like the ambiance.

    Service was very good given it was a busy Saturday night. We were seated near the kitchen and, as foodie, it was interesting to see the operation and how they got orders out. Great tasting food and enough for us to get another meal out of.

    Hello, ordered the steak ribeye and found it to be not so tender with a lot of tendons in it . the taste was good, but the cut of meat left a lot to be desired. also, beware of the starter guacamole dish, it is very spicy

    Everything was satisfactory except that our dining request in the dining room vs. high-top tables could not be accommodated as requested on the reservation. The request was made due to mobility issue but to be fair, the dining room was being utilized by other patrons too.

    A man kept harassing our table from the outside window during our meal, tapping in the glass, yelling, making lewd gesture. It was a wholly unpleasant experience.

    Food, service and decor were outstanding! The only complaint our table had was the music was very loud which made it hard to have a conversation during our business dinner.
