    This would have been a very low review, as we ran into an issue with our table not being ready for almost an hour wait. Why this review is 5/5 stars is because of how the staff handled the situation, they were extremely apologetic, they offered me and my group complimentary items, comped some items and the manager Dan, made sure we were set all night and really went above and beyond to make sure our night ended better than how it started. The food, the atmosphere and the staff were all amazing at this Joey location.

    It has a nice ambiance, intimate, and suitable for conversation. We went on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was half full. We ordered the Short ribs, steak frites, and hamburger. All of us enjoyed our meals. The meat was done well, and portion sizes were good. It is an older restaurant with a classic charm. Service was on point. We celebrated a birthday and ordered the 13-layer chocolate cake. It was a fun birthday treat, and it was delicious, not too sweet. There was plenty to take home afterwards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and exceeded my expectations.

    One of the downtown core’s finest dining establishments. The front of the house is very well run, the staff is prompt, pleasant and attentive. But best of all, is the dining experience. Every meal that I have had at Juno has been outstanding.
