   Food was good but waiter was awful. It took him an hour to come to take my order. First 90 minutes, we were only on drinks. It is not normal for a such a restaurant, the client to wait so long for food. It was not busy, Monday evening. I can't imagine about Friday or Saturday evening. They should hire better waiters. He completely ignore us. We look at him, wave our hand, call him several times - really very poor service from the waiter.

   Seated in dining area and had the lights turned off mid meal, and did not turn on after asking. Was not told by the door hostess that this would happen, when being asked about sitting in dining area versus the bar.

   Food was not as good as the price point at all $75 for a rib eye that was 1/2” thick garbage cut of beef. For the Sushi and steak the “steak” was real chewy. Basically this place is charging a price point for “steak” that is at least double what its worth. Prob a good place for a burger.

   Service was very slow and the waitress seemed lile she wanted nothing to do with our table. Was very standoffish. Food was good as always

   Joey never disappoints! We had the steak sushi and chicken parm, both were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is always great, and the food keeps us coming back. Highly recommended!

   Reserved for a business lunch and was in and out in an hour thanks to excellent service by Daphne. Open table needed to confirm that I actually made my reservation, which I did. Recommend if you’re looking for fast, excellent business lunch option. All attendees loved their meals.

   Service was outstanding; attentive, friendly but not overbearing. Food was excellent especially the starter and the wild cod. A couple of items were missing. Please switch US wines for Canadian or European.
