    The food was actually very good. The service was fantastic. The lighting was a little too dim, which made it hard to read the menu. I would go again.

    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.

    Great food and super friendly service. Most of our group had never been to Joey before and they can’t stop talking about being greeted with a glass of champagne. Always a great experience.

    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.
