    Steak + Seared Salmon Sushi
    Jaime M.

    Our visit to JOEY DTLA was a five-star experience from the moment we walked in. We didn't have to wait long for a table, but the staff still offered us complimentary glasses of champagne while we stood by. It was a very nice touch that really set the tone for the night. The restaurant manages to strike the perfect balance between an elegant, upscale feeling and a completely casual vibe. Once we were seated, our waiter Billy came over to take our drink orders. I ordered the JOEY Dirty Martini, which was absolutely amazing and made perfectly. A huge bonus is that they leave the shaker behind at the table, so you're actually getting two drinks for the price of one. As far as the food goes, it was just as impressive. We started with the hummus, which was delicious, and for our entrees, we ordered the Mediterranean bowl and the steak and sushi. The Mediterranean bowl tasted incredibly authentic, and the steak and seared sushi was cooked to absolute perfection. All in all, Billy gave us great service and it was a fantastic dining experience.

    I loved Joey DTLA. Location is in the middle of downtown, you will need to utilise a parking garage. The food was amazing and fresh. We were there for a say yes to the dress celebration and the bride was given a cute personalised card to make the day even for special. I will be coming back here ! Thank you for guest services and starting a new tradition that I will want to come back for!

    Steak and Lobster Spaghetti
    Mercedes J.

    Great service, great ambiance, and great food. Tiffany, who I believe is part of the management team, and my server, Mya, were both incredibly attentive and made it clear that they genuinely cared about the customer experience. The wings and truffle fries are always a 10/10, my no fuss, go to meal every time I visit. This was my first time trying the steak and lobster pasta, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly tender, flavorful, and a great cut of meat. The pasta also came with a generous amount of lobster, making it well worth ordering. Will for sure be back, for dinner and to catch a game at their bar.

    I came to LA and this place came highly recommend and it did not disappoint. From the customer service to the aesthetics to the food..... Everything was A1! Our waiter TJ was amazing. The energy that he brought to the table made my day even better. I ordered the crispy tofu bowl and it was delicious! Definitely will recommend this restaurant and come back. Two thumbs up

    Smack dab in the middle of DTLA, JOEY is always a good choice. Reservations are easy to make online. Came here with a group of 4 and service was great. It is definitely a pricier option but a great dinner spot for business dinners or a romantic date. Food is consistent and delicious.

    Steak + Seared Salmon Sushi

    The food was really good. Ordered sushi and steak. The portion size was just right for me and I appreciated that. The service was impeccable, I did not have to ask for a water refill or anything really which is always nice that they are attentive like that. The ambiance was great!! I always go for the vibes to Joeydtla. Thanks!!

    This location's food and service is better than the Manhattan Beach location by far. The atmosphere was nice and it was very busy. I ordered the Steak and Ravioli Bianca and it was even better than the previous times I ordered it from the MB location. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and the service was great. The cherry on top is the parking validation covered 95% of the parking charge so we ended up only paying $3.00 for parking on the parking structure.

    Quick sit-down work lunch vibes in DTLA. Went for a work lunch with a large group. No rsvp, but they were able to sit about 13 of us together in the patio. Orders taken pretty quickly and got our food. Got a burger with fries - was in the $20s. Prices are a bit steep but the ambiance and service probably attributed to it. Would I come back? Maybe - I do enjoy their happy hour food and drinks (particularly the martinis).

    Me and my sis visited this location after an event at the California African American Museum on a Saturday night...parking was tricky but we found the garage. When I walked up there was security outside and they said they weren't taking any more walk ups. I convinced him to let me in to speak to the hostess to if they could seat us since we were starving and it was already late. It was pretty chaotic inside...there were lots of people waiting for tables and working near the front but they seemed overwhelmed. The hostess was really nice, she mentioned someone quit earlier but she put our names on the list and she said it would be an hour but we could try to get seats at the bar. A nice touch was that they give you a splash of sparkling wine to sip while you wait. Once my sis got there we decided to try the bar...we found 2 seats but waited for 20 min. for our orders to be taken and no luck so we decided to just go back to the front and wait for our table. We waited another 20 min.and they were able to seat us. We discovered that their system was down and they had to write every order down by hand...so the kitchen was extremely backed up. Our server was very nice and apologized for the wait and he gave some really great recommendations. We shared a house salad and I ordered the steak with potatoes and broccolini. It was just ok....the steak was a little overcooked and the potatoes were like fancy potato wedges with bacon and sour cream. They had to hand write receipts since their system was down...I was a little concerned since I was paying with a corporate card but it worked out. I get the concept of the restaurant, it's super vibey but we went on a really off night. We forgot to get our ticket validated but shoutout to the security who was able to go back inside (they were closing) and get the ticket validated for us. It was a rough experience but I think I am willing to try another location.

    Sirloin & Ravioli Bianco
    Katherine B.

    I'm sorry to write this, but this did not live up to the reputation at all. I've been to so many better restaurants in LA. I worked 1 block from Joey's for a year, so I was excited to try it. I got the sirloin and ravioli bianco, and it was honestly pretty flavorless except for a sour aftertaste. The steak was just ok but the cook on my steak was uneven, I ordered medium rare but at first I thought I got my friend's dish (she ordered the same thing but medium well). The bite on the ravioli pasta itself was rubbery. And the shrimp were overcooked. I'm really confused why the ratings are so high. It wasn't particularly busy. There were less than 10 other tables with people since we came mid-afternoon. But it took 40 minutes to get our truffle fries. People talk about free champagne when you get there, but we didn't get that. Our waitress was super friendly, I really liked her so much. But she was the highlight of the entire meal.

    Yesterday was my first time visiting this location and I had a great dining experience. It was a Saturday morning a little after 11am so there was no wait and our group was greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne. The hostess checked us in and she was really pleasant. Our group got seated right away. The atmosphere and ambiance was nice especially sitting at a booth near the window so of course I did a little people watching of all the folks walking outside in the streets of DTLA. Our server was TJ, he was absolutely AMAZING! I love his personality and the recommendations he made. He was very personable and made our dining experience enjoyable. Our group ordered the hamachi wings, truffle fries, steak with broccoli, shrimp ravioli, chicken tenders with fries, and fish tacos. Not one person complained about their food! Everything was delicious. I even put in another order of the shrimp ravioli to go (highly recommend). The drinks were also very good. The espresso martini was a hit with our group! Overall this location has a really good ambiance, very clean and friendly staff. I would definitely visit again if I am ever in the area.

    We had dinner at Joey DTLA last Friday. The restaurant offers a wonderful ambiance with a very tasteful interior. We especially appreciated the complimentary champagne provided to all guests. The food was exceptional, and the attentive service truly enhanced our dining experience. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality made it worthwhile. I look forward to returning for another occasion.

We started with the Wine Station Salad and it was the perfect light opener. The lettuce was crisp, the candied walnuts added a subtle sweetness, and the cherry tomatoes were fresh and juicy. The parmesan and house dressing pulled it all together. It felt balanced and refreshing without being boring. Next up was the Pizza 4 Fromages with truffle added. If you love cheese, this is your move. The blend of cheeses was rich and creamy, and the truffle hit right away without overpowering the tomato sauce. The crust had a nice crisp edge and held everything together perfectly. Definitely a standout. We also shared the charcuterie board and that was ideal for pairing with wine. A great assortment of meats and cheeses, plus olives, pickles, and toasted bread. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. It's the kind of board you can slowly work through while enjoying a few glasses. The vibe inside The Wine Station is relaxed but elevated. It's perfect for date night, catching up with friends, or just unwinding after work in Downtown LA. If you're looking for a wine bar in DTLA that actually has food worth ordering, this is it.

Ambiance here is very chill, relaxing vibes, dimmed lights, and cute tables with seating indoor/outdoor. Bar seating availability as well. The bartender was super sweet and attentive towards me the whole time I was there alone. This place serves unique delicatessen bites. They specialize in "tinned fish" and various wine selections as well as beer on tap. I did not get to try out the tinned fish this time around but I went with the French onion dip and chips--so good when you are hungry! I enjoyed the French onion dip because it was so rich and tasty. The bartender suggested a red wine, called "Bruno zanasi (ita) charmat a Lambrusco red wine. So subtly sweet yet flavorful that I ended up ordering another glass. 5/5 I also ordered their baguette with butter that was warmed up nicely when it arrived at my table and I devoured the entire bread. So yeah, it was delightfully good. 5/5 They also have unique wallpapers in their restrooms which attracted me to read what people have written on behalf of the dogs included in the wallpaper (you must see it in person to know what im talking about) fun and funny words!! Such a cozy place to come and chill, enjoy bites and relax with some amazing wine. I really enjoyed my time here.
