Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
JOEY Rideau offers an inviting atmosphere with "delicious food" and "exceptional service." Guests rave about the "outstanding décor" and memorable Mediterranean dishes. While some found the pricing high and music volume loud, many praise the "great ambiance" and "attentive staff." Ideal for lively gatherings, though service consistency could improve.

    I added a note in my reservation that it was for a birthday and asked that they put a candle or sparkler in the dessert we would order but when the dessert came out it had nothing. I was really disappointed.

    Great food always but service was very slow. The staff did apologize, but I feel like they should have tried to make up for it somehow. Won’t stop me from going back. Still a great choice.

    Don’t buy a steak at Joey’s, they will cut it up prior to plating. Very disappointed with the food.

    We had a great experience dining here on new years day! The place was steady, kind of loud but expected for how many patrons there were, service was pretty quick and the food was good! We'll definitely be back!

    The predinner cocktails arrived late after the main dish had been served. The Special JoeY's Martini was improperly mixed, they were out of olive vinegar for Dirty request and the barman forgot the olive. Lower standard hard to find

    Food was awful. Steaks completely underdone (rare). Also poor quality cuts. We complained but the waiter insisted that it was medium rare. Sure. Sushi was extremely spicy and the rice was dried out. Didn’t finish any of our meals. Drinks were terribly made. Most were not finished. We didn’t risk desert ordering desert. The price of this meal did not match what we ate. Go here if you want to get ripped off.
