    Overall experience as great. Only issue was the lady at the check in desk. Someone had already checked me in and according to her they called my party “7 times” but I didn’t hear any of it due to the noise level. My friends said she didn’t call the name very loud so we couldn’t hear it. Her response when she called my phone and realized I was right there in front of her was “we called you 7 times and we were about to walk away”. I just didn’t like that simply bc I was standing close to her and didn’t hear my name at all. Other than that, everything as great. Food didn’t come out super hot tho.

    Ambiance was great! We made reservations, but our wait time was a bit long. Although we had ended our night with a table of 9, the transition of meals was dragged out. There was a long waiting period from when we received our appetizer and our entree orders being taken, which dragged out the wait time. Jumbo crab cake seemed over price for the amount that was served. It was a average size patty (H-E-B size) of seared crab for $26… overall good food, we had the Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti 👍🏾, Cajun Blacken Chicken 👍🏾, Ravioli Blanco 👍🏾, Lobster and steak (med well) 👍🏾. Our server was nice, I would return for a date or ladies night.

    Joey Uptown exceeded my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious—my steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor in every bite. The ambience was stunning, with a sexy and sophisticated vibe that made it the perfect spot for a date night. From the dim lighting to the stylish decor, everything set the mood for an enjoyable and intimate evening. The service was great, adding to the overall fantastic experience. I truly enjoyed myself and will definitely be back! Highly recommend for a special night out.

    I have to say I was looking forward to going and then completely let down. Server was not the worst ever but it was pretty bad. Drinks sat empty, even when we had reordered and we had to ask for things more than once. The place was about 75% empty and from what I could tell our server had 1 table. The turkey club was pretty good, 4 stars. However the burger was about the size of a McDonalds double cheeseburger. The patties were over done and tiny. I had to ask for mustard multiple times even though I ordered the burger with mustard. No one was especially friendly, but no one was rude. Everything was just underwhelming and everything was way over priced for what it was. Almost $30 for a bacon cheeseburger that was sad. Spent almost $200.00 for 2 people. Doubt I will ever go back.
