    Very friendly staff. Arrived during happy hour and was offered a glass of champagne. Nice ambiance and food was good. As it got later it became louder and the server had issues keeping up with the growing crowd. Would recommend

    For the first time since Joey has come to Texas I was very disappointed with the food. In Houston for business and decided to go to our fav restaurant. We ordered lettuce wraps they came to the table so dry we asked for extra sauce, also they came with like 4 pieces of lettuce. The Dallas location tosses the chicken in the sauce and provides what we jokingly say is a half of a head of lettuce so you aren’t left with meat and no wrap.

    This was my first experience there. We sat at the bar. Service was slow and there weren't a ton of people there when we first got there. As the restaurant filled up service got slower. We had hummus and lettuce wraps-both good not great. Cool vibe, we will go back and sit at a table next time. Bartenders need to be more friendly and attentive.

    Had a wonderful experience for our first time here. Amy, manager, and Jaelen, server had outstanding presence. Very thorough on guest service and excellent communication of the menu. Food was “gas” as the young ones say. Definitely will be back.

    This is a nice restaurant. Very upper class. Located in the Galleria, so parking is a challenge.

    I enjoyed my visit to Joey. The food was incredible and fresh, the service was thoughtful and fun. The atmosphere was sophisticated and warm. A great restaurant to bring your friends to and just enjoy. Kudos to the GM and staff. Excellent experience!! I will definitely be back. Special shoutout to Lilly and to Remy for the hospitality and just incredible warm visit. I brought actor Christian Robinson in before his Houston premiere of Sinners. We all enjoyed everything.

    The hostess sat us a half table. This table should be removed from the restaurant. My wife and I couldn’t even sit across from each other. We were huddled in a corner part of a communal table with 8 other people. Other parties of 2 were allowed to have their own table. The waiter was good but everything else was a miss. It was so cramped that every time someone walked past they bumped our table and almost knocked everything over. We ordered food and didn’t even stay. Just boxed everything to go. Disappointing experience.
    JOEY UptownResponded 2 days ago
