    Spaghetti was delightful a little spicy but excellent, spicy passionfruit margarita! The server was not attentive, and dismissive of my significant other, checked on us 2 times over all- also, the wine my boyfriend got was awful (Sauvignon Blanc) and she did not offer to remove from bill- no big deal but the thought would have been nice.. ceviche was FIRE. Lobster spaghetti was excellent as well. I like the dark lighting and chill vibe the restaurant has! Thank you!

    I really love their Super Sonic drinks, which are definitely the highlight for me. The service was okay, but the food feels quite overpriced for what you get these days. The quality and portions didn't quite match the prices, so overall it was just an average experience.

    Great ambience. Lighting, seating, good looking servers. Classy place. Semi-family friendly. Great place for a date night or get together with friends. The food is delicious. Presentation is high class! Drinks are great. Downfall was that we waited way too long to get our waters after being sat down by hostess, took atleast 20 minutes, no server, no water, no menus, which was pretty disappointing after a long day of shopping. Otherwise, a definite must.

    Horrible experience here. My friend is vegetarian and ordered cauliflower tacos. The waitress came and said fish tacos. We said we ordered cauliflower tacos, the waitress suddenly agreed with us without confirming. My friend proceeded to eat the tacos and found out it was fish.

    Joes never fails when it comes to good food and good vibes. Staff is always a very friendly. I had the katsu chicken salad, and it was pretty decent. It was a little heavy on the dressing but besides that it was very good. Prices are slightly on the steep side but not a deal breaker.

    Kenadie was such an amazing server!! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great

    Tuna Poke Bowl

    Absolutely loved my time at the bar! Brittany was so attentive and made such great conversation with us. The bar team was also very helpful and kind, checking in and refilling our drinks, asking if we were enjoying our food, and if we needed anything else. On top of this, the vibe was so warm and welcoming, you just want to sit here for hours talking with your friends! Joey is a family favorite, I'll always come back here! Also, if you love poké, I highly recommend the Tuna Poké Bowl!

    Happy Hour meal :  Joey Cheeseburger, Truffle Parmesan Fries and hidden in the back was the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

    JOEY Southcenter was exactly what we were looking for, a trendy, lively spot with great food where we could catch up with friends. We walked in around 5:30 PM on a Wednesday without reservations and the place was already packed. We were seated shortly after at a booth by the bar and just in time for Happy Hour. Watching the bartenders craft drinks nonstop added to the fun vibe. We ordered two Truffle Fries & Mini Martinis and loved them so much we considered ordering more; two Joey Cheeseburgers & Beers. Burgers were juicy, flavorful, and satisfying; Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps was well-seasoned and delicious; RealPeach Bellini was peachy. The food exceeded our expectations- full sized and very shareable.

    korean cauliflower and truffle fries
    Jenny T.

    My friends and I came here for a quick late night snack. Food: My friend and I ordered the korean cauliflower and the truffle fries to share. Both were delicious. They are both items I would order every time! Service: It was pretty late, so we sat in the bar area. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food came out promptly as well. TL;DR - Quick service at the bar with snacks I'll order every time.

    Sweet sweet sweet Noel! Came here for a birthday celebration with a couple good friends of mine. Great time. The food was okay but the service was spectacular. Our server Noel was the highlight of our evening. She was so kind, beautiful and very welcoming. Made the experience worthwhile. We got the hummus for the table and it came with fried pita bread. The bread was drenched in oil, made me queasy but the spread was delicious. I ordered the butter chicken tofu which was average. Overpriced and underwhelming to say the least. The tofu were soggy at the bottom abut crunchy on the top. The person was very small too considering how expensive it was. It came with pita bread as well, luckily it was t deep fried this time. Drinks were alright, nothing spectacular. I've been to joeys before, it's always served mediocrity with hints of adequateness. If you are choosing to dine here, make sure to ask for Noel, she's just heavenly.

    Anniversary Dinner at JOEY My husband and I came to JOEY to celebrate our anniversary, mainly because they stay open late -- and it turned out to be the perfect choice. We were greeted at the entrance with a complimentary glass of champagne, which made the night feel extra special from the very start. Even though the restaurant was quite busy and we didn't have a reservation, we were seated right away in a cozy booth that was just right for us. I ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl and my husband had the Blackened Chicken. Both dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was energetic, friendly, and genuinely warm. When she heard we were celebrating our anniversary, she surprised us after the meal with a beautifully plated mini coconut cheesecake dessert. It was such a thoughtful touch and made our evening even more memorable. We had a wonderful experience and were so glad we chose JOEY for our special night.

    A perfect place for listening to live music, seated in some lawn chairs sipping some wine, beer or…read moresparkle. We came by after happy hour at Anthony's and listened to a live set of great music. The place was packed, but everyone is friendly and was willing to share their table with us. We had a great time and I strongly recommend coming by the Quarterdeck to chill and listen to live music. Can't believe it took me 20 years of living in Seattle to find this place. So, don't repeat my mistake.

    Quarterdeck is what I like to call a "come for the vibes, stay for the drinks, eat... somewhere…read moreelse" kind of place. I stopped by while visiting Seattle and while the food situation was a bit chaotic (they had rotating menus because they were out of a few items), I ended up ordering a kimchi-inspired sandwich that I wanted to love...but it just didn't do it for me. Not inedible, maybe a 2/5, but I'd definitely try something else next time. My friend ordered what I think was the Garden Harvest Wrap (a staple on the menu), and that was more of a 3/5. Both dishes were served cold (intentionally), which I think made a difference, I could totally see them being much better if they were warm. Now let's talk about what is worth it: the mimosa flight. SO good. Like dangerously easy to sit there, sip through all of them, and forget any minor food disappointments. But honestly, the real star here is the ambiance. You're right on the water with the most effortless, breezy, coastal energy. Boats drifting by, sun hitting just right, people lingering over drinks--it's giving main character energy in the best way. I found myself wanting to stay way longer than planned and even doing some work while there. This is absolutely a spot I'd come back to, just with a strategy: eat before or after, and come here to sip, sit by the water, and take a little walk on the dock. 5 stars for the vibes alone

    Great family owned gem in Des Moines. Wines, cheese, charcuterie, scratch kitchen and cocktails…read more So sad to see it close.

    UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.

First off, the staff were very nice and friendly, one very redeeming trait. This is a small restaurant in a hotel. There IS NO PARKING unless you pay the hotel $25 for the day. The hours are severely limited to 4 hours in the morning for breakfast and 4 hours in the evening for dinner. The menu is also severely limited and amazingly overpriced. I had the regular burger with fries. It was $20. The burger came unseasoned and bland on a sesame seed bun. The lettuce, tomatoes and onion were cool and seemed fresh. The fries came out hot but seemed almost stale with hardly any crisp. They were also bland with no seasonings or salt. The Mrs had the potstickers which they called dumplings. These were tastier than the bland burger, but again, these prices.... Honestly, you can get a burger, fries and a coke at McDonald's that tastes better and cost way less than the $25 I spent on my burger here. (The single glass of coke was $5) This combined with the hotel review has taught me to stay outside of the city from now on where prices and gouging doesn't hit so hard.
