Reviews Joey Sherway

Having a great time. My server, Yrza surprised me with cake, midnight mimosa and card signed by the staff. Feeling very special. Thanks to my friends at Joey’s this is why I’m a regular here every week. The staff spoil me and my family. They take such good care of us going way above expectations. wonderful, wonderful staff. ���� thank you everyone.

First time at this particular location and we loved it. Sat upstairs out on the patio and it was great, enjoyed the casual feel, with its rustic tables and comfy couch like booths. The sun was shining, if only briefly, the staff was very friendly, the food and drinks were delicious. Will be visiting that patio again!

Been here a few times and always a great spot! Came on Valentines Day for an earlier dinner and had a wonderful evening. The service was impeccable, we never had our drinks empty! The food was amazing as always. The California chicken and Pomodoro spaghetti is delicious. Will keep coming back for date nights!

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is really nice and the service is great as well! Definitely one of my favorite places so far! Highly recommended for good food and a laid back mood

This location is fairly large with 2 levels of seating. If you do not have a reservation even if you go in after 9pm prepare to wait 20-30 mins for seating. The music was loud but good song selection.

Even though it was fairly busy, the service was really good.

Their late night menu is very decent. Tasty food!

Finally my Canada Trip found the best place for food and great ambience in Toronto. Me and my bestie thought of going our for a dinner today after a long working day. Decided to go to Joey to experience what I'm looking for 😀. Entered inside and said a bigggg wooooooow. Mesmerizing ambience, poshie crew, wonderful crowd and nice music. Asked for a table and a beautiful lady turned and guided us to a nice table and Mark visited us and offered the Menu.

By looking at the Menu me and my friend was in cloud nine and we found what we want to eat tonight. I have ordered for a Bombay Butter Chicken with Nan and rice, he ordered for a Housemade Veggie Burger.

After a while we saw our food coming to us with a beautiful crew member. We gave 5 out of 5 to the ambience by that time. I tasted the melting Nan with butter chicken and said yummyeee and softest roti I ever had. Rice topped with nuts tasted awesome and felt like had a wonderful dinner.

Thanks to my friend who suggested me this place.

SO GOOD! Loved everything about Joey, from the airy contemporary decor to the delicious and varied menu. This ahi tuna salad was perfect, light and refreshing. This curry dip was flavourful and not too heavy.

Joey's was an overall decent experience for my family and myself. In spite of making a reservation, we were made to wait for 10-15 mins till we got a table that was unoccupied from the time we'd entered the restaurant.
The burger and chicken banh mi sandwich are really good.
Initially the menu looked small and as I read through all the dishes I realized it's good enough to have limited options. However their wine selection is pretty vast.
Approximate cost for 5 people is around $90-$100 that excludes drinks, appetizers and dessert.
Would I go there again? Yes I would.

I came here for takeout and the veggie burger was very impressive. Even the French fries were good. I would definitely buy it again it was totally worth the 20.00. The burger itself was absolutely amazing and seemed healthy ish. They don't offer ketchup or anything in the bag and they asked me if I wanted my change back when I gave them 20.00 which was weird how about give me my money and I'll decide if I leave you the rest. And you pay right at the hostess stand which is different because I'm used to getting take out from the bar of restaurants. Then you wait on a bench. I like getting take out from the bar because I can get water while I wait but the girl brought me water no issues when I asked. I asked her to give me a slice of lemon and she put a lime in there instead and asked if it was ok after the fact. I've never put lime in water before and I guess it had to be ok since she already did it and brought it over lol. This place definitely seems fancier and more high class than regular joints like jacks. Even their take out bag and container is good quality.

Note: There is NO direct access from the mall. You have to exit through Door 3, walk outside the mall, and use the separate restaurant entrance. Sorta dumb.

Service - 3/5
Food - 3.5-4/5
Atmosphere - 5/5

Disclosure: I avoid going to chain restaurants, but sometimes it's unavoidable when you're in a group and the majority wants to eat at Milestones, Pickle Barrel, Earl's, Moxie's, etc. Inevitably, I'm bound to bend...

I'm just always suspicious as these places seem more about the atmosphere, loud music, scantily clad servers that look like they're out on a casting call, and less about the FOOD.

Anyway, I was greeted by a gaggle of hostesses in LOFT-style gray dresses. They were friendly and one was particularly very engaging, asking if it was our first time, if we wanted anything, etc. A group of women who were in front of us got mimosas while waiting, but we were not addressed. Ok, but somewhat awkward seeing how we were literally right beside the mimosa women.

Seating did not take long at all, as per hostess it was approx. 15mins on a Saturday, after lunch service, around 2pm.

Aside from the Apps/Steaks, prices seem to average ~$15. Menu consisted of a mix of Asian-inspired sushi dishes, including gyoza, Dragon roll/sushi cones, sandwiches, burgers, & steak. Menu's online, so no surprises on the pricing.

FOOD:
Yam Fries - $9 + 0.75 for grana padano. No one mentioned that there was an extra charge for the cheese. Serving was on the smaller side, decent for 2 ppl, but pricy for portion that arrived. Yams aren't expensive, just don't charge for the cheese and we'll call it even, non?

Farmer Market Chicken Salad - $16.50, good flavour, would've been better with a bit more chicken in it. Barely visible. My bf had to dig pieces out when I asked where the chicken was.

Baja Fish Tacos - $15.5, REALLY GOOD! Came with 3 tacos.

Apple Pie w/ ice cream - $9, this came recommended, especially for sharing, but honestly, it was just ok. Sounded better than it tasted. It was slices of apple on top of a filo pastry. Ice cream had a really good texture and apparently it is made every morning!

SERVICE:
I think they're still working out the kinks. Joey is one of those places where there's a bunch of people who are wearing specific uniforms and each person with a specific uniform does a specific duty. The girls in gray greet/seat you, someone takes your drink order/tells you the specials, a chick in a tight black tank serves you, another guy brings the food to your table, etc.

So during my lunch, I was told the wrong price for one of their drink specials (it was subsequently taken off the bill), there was a loooong wait for the dessert, & a loooong wait for the bill. By loooong, I'm talking at least 20mins. Apparently our bill was given to another table & there was something finicky about the billing system.

Other than that, most of the workers seem very friendly and upbeat.

VERDICT? Fun atmosphere with BOOM 97.3-like music playing, upbeat and friendly servers, food was actually pretty good, I don't think you'll be taking home any leftovers as portions are "just right", & prices are a bit higher than food court.

Also worth mentioning that I felt as though there was soo much wasted space on the second level. Washrooms are also on the second floor which means you hafta go up 2 flights of stairs to access them. It would've been nice if there was a private dining room on the second level.
