   Reserved for the dining room and got put into the bar area which was not comfortable at all for a short, pregnant lady. Food quality and service are both going downhill in the past year or so. This used to be a consistent spot for when you wanted a step above Kelsey's but I don't think it'll be the go-to anymore.

   We had a reservation at 6:30. We waited for 30 minutes and no one saw us. A lot of walk-ins came in after us and was sat at a table when we went up to the hostesses to ask what was going on they said apparently that they sat our table and somebody else took our reservation.We believe this was untrue as we watched each hostess go up to the different groups and call a different name that was not ours. We ended up being the last ones to be sad and you think the hostesses would’ve clued in, but there was no one else on their list and we were still waiting. For such an upscale restaurant, I feel as though they should be more attentive.

   Really great dinner! Our server was friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. We got the steak and a burger with fries — both were excellent! The GF lava cake was a game changer. They give you this non alcoholic sparkling wine when you come in and it’s delicious. I wish they sold it by the glass or bottle. We had a great time. Definitely recommend!

   Another troubling experience at this location. Steak was cold. Fries cold. Wine list is really terrible. The wine by the glass selection is frankly shameful. This all wouldn't be so bad but Joey charges pricing at fine dining levels and fails to deliver.

   Great food and atmosphere. We came with our grandchildren from Montreal to have a day in Ottawa and dine at Joeys which is their favorite restaurant (ours also). Greacen was our server and she was great and treated the kids like adults. Thank you Joeys

   Interesting fusion of food. Our menu included sliders + dumplings + sushi + cauliflower + chicken parm + spaghetti Strawberry spicy margarita was far too hot to drink. Had to ask for soda to water down. Should not have mixed all the foods. Not a good mix at one meal. Likely would not return. No hand soap in one of woman’s bathroom.
