We came to celebrate Chinese New Year and had a wonderful dinner. Our server, Janie, was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. At the end, she surprised us with a celebratory dessert, beautifully plated with celebration text written on it. We were truly delighted! The dishes, as always, were flavorful and consistently impressive. One small note: our appetizer, the miso mushroom, wasn’t as striking as the last time we had it, a little less surprising than expected, but still very tasty overall.

Evan was our server and the best! Outstanding fun service, she made our evening out. Disappointed they don’t have sliders on the menu anymore. Kale salad is delicious. Didn’t really like my happy hour prawns, aoli sauce was spicy. Dessert was soo good. Burgers there are good but get sliders back on the menu. Later in the evebing they bring in a d.j who plays great music 🎶 all the staff were lovely but Evan was a Rock star

The food here was amazing. I had the chicken Katsu salad, my wife had farmers market salad, and our son had chicken tenders. We ended our meal with three of their desserts and all the food was some of the best we’ve had anywhere in our travels. All of that would be enough for five stars but our server, Lucia, and the rest of the staff were awesome. Every member of the staff we interacted with was so friendly and quick to attend to us. I imagine that we’ve set the bar too high for our trip to Ottawa by coming here for our first meal. Highly this place for a for a great time! She also surprised us with this great addition to our dessert orders to help our son celebrate his fist trip to Canada.

As soon as we arrived, we were very well taken care of. A glass of non-alcoholic sparkling wine was offered to us free of charge. The food was excellent, and everything was cooked to perfection. The team came by several times to make sure everything was perfect for us. The manager asked if there was a special reason we were out that evening, and we told her we were having a girls’ night out for Valentine’s Day. She kindly gave us a complimentary sharing platter. Thank you to Jess and Veronica.

My friends and I went to Joey for dinner and were greeted with free non-alcohol sparkling drinks and led to our table (it was fairly busy but we had a reservation in advance so there was no wait time). The atmosphere was wonderful and our server Daphne, and Claire who helped her, were super welcoming and extremely helpful and knowledgeable with providing suggestions on meals and answering any questions we had about them. They checked in regularly and made our experience especially enjoyable! We shared an appetizer, had a main course and shared desert again afterwards. The crème brûlée cheesecake was definitely recommendable as was the truffle udon carbonara for dinner! We all really enjoyed our time there and look forward to returning in the future 🙂

10 out of 10. Exceptional service and absolutely delicious food, everything we tried was fantastic. The atmosphere was lively, with dim lighting and loud music, but still comfortable and manageable. It feels fancy without being too formal. Overall, an outstanding experience, and I’d gladly return to this exact spot rather than try something new. I loved the salad and the crème brûlée.

Came here for a date and it was a lovely experience. Was served non alcoholic sparkling wine upon entrance. The atmosphere was lovely, felt fancy but not snobby and the seating was very comfortable. The choice of music was slightly off putting (pop music) as it didn’t really compliments the vibe of the restaurant itself.

Regardless, the service was great. For a busy Thursday night, our meal came out 10 minutes after ordering. I don’t think I have ever been served that quickly during what seemed to be a rush.

My boyfriend and I both got the Joey burger. It was the Best burger each of us have ever had. It was beautifully crafted, not greasy at all, and every ingredient tasted of high quality. I highly recommend, also considering it is one of the cheaper meals on the menu.

The Joey 75 is delicious! And the Crème Brûlée cheesecake for dessert was an interesting mix of flavours but came together really well.

We were in and out in under an hour since service was so quick, but we were not rushed at all. Great experience and will definitely be coming back
