    I came to Joey with low expectations since it was a chain restaurant but boy did it prove me wrong. As soon as I came in I was greeted and seated immediately. It really surprised me since it was dinner time on a saturday. Since it was my first time here I had a little trouble deciding what I wanted. Everything seemed so good but so expensive. I asked my waitress for recommendations and she was very informative and it seemed like she knew the menu front and back. I trusted her and went with the steak and sushi which was a Japanese styled steak and a rainbow roll. It's crazy how long I barely waited for my food. Everything, including my boyfriend's nachos came out within 5-8 minutes which was good because we were starving. The presentation of my meal was beautiful and also very good. My steak was cooked to perfection and was actually cooked to medium well. Usually when I go to other restaurants they over do it and give me well done steak but this, this was perfect with just a hint of pink smack down in the middle. The rainbow roll was very good as well coming out of an American restaurant. It wasn't fishy and the spicy mayo on top had a nice touch to the roll. To be honest I was really surprised with the quality of the food and in a good way of course. Everything was so good! Even my boyfriend's nachos were good. I would definitely recommend this place! The decor is awesome and updated and the waitresses are also very helpful and pretty...lol. Keep an eye on your boyfriends or husbands, ladies. And of course we cannot forget the food!!! I would really like to try their fish tacos next time and pretty much everything else that was on the menu.

    This place is jammed packed! It's a great location with easy parking at the Hyatt which is nice and convenient. The food was ehhh... I don't think it is anything to rave about. Also, they made the worst "Washington Apple" martinis I've ever had. They tasted watered down and I didn't taste the Crown in it at all. The 3rd one they brought me even tasted like they put bitters in it which is totally WRONG! The service was ehh... Nothing impressive. The girls run around with their heads cut off but they were busy. There was some confusion with who was going to serve us and one of the girls finally explained that since "blondie" was too busy to serve us that "I guess I'll just take you..." WTF? LOL... The bill for the three of us was about $175... All we had was three salads and 2-3 drinks each... Kinda overpriced. Especially since the glasses of wine the other girls had were small pours. Trendy atmosphere... Busy... Loud... For those that want to be in the "scene," it's a good place. Had a good time with my girls but DEF not a fan of Joey's...

    This is like the ultimate lonely guy on business trip place to eat. First and foremost, eat at the sports bar if you are alone or with a few friends. If a game you want to watch is on, they will find it. I watched many Lakers games while on the road there. The décor is very modern and the servers are friendly. But it is about the food. If you not watching carbs, the no brainer pick is the French dip hands down. It is very tasty and never failed me. If you want a hint of healthy, the roasted chicken has never failed me. Also everyone one of my friends order the edamame for starters. All in all, great place when in Bellevue...

    Food is outstanding and very tasteful. Five Star! Service is about a 3 star. The young women that service need to spend less time standing around and chit chatting and serve the guests. When you come to a table, introduce yourself, listen and keep your guests informed about what is happening with the meal. Everytime however, the service is poor. The young women are sweet and nice, however, they need better ears. Food has come out wrong, you sit and wonder what is happening, and they smile and blame someone else when questioned. You can do better. Every time I have come to Bellevue, which is quite often, I come to Joeys! The absolute best for lunch or dinner!!! The hubachi wings are the best! I could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner! If you ever have a contest of who could eat the most of them, call me. I have lost count how many times I have come.

    Because the wait time at Din Tai Fung was beyond ridiculous (90+ mins), my boyfriend and I ended up at Joey in Bellevue to meet up with a friend of ours for dinner and drinks. Joey in Bellevue is quite swanky; it is dimly list and full of svelte girls in black dresses. If you are visiting Bellevue for business or meeting up with friends for drinks in the evening, this place should be perfect. I had been to Joey Seattle and liked their Baja shrimp tacos, which is what I ordered as well as ahi tuna tacos (on fried shells). The food is not too bad (albeit a bit pricey), but I wouldn't come here for food. Our server was friendly and helpful; the cocktails were refreshing. I wish their menu offered something a bit more exciting.

  • Tony C.

    I love this place! Very great diverse menu with a chef that was a finalist on Iron Chef Japan. I highly recommend the Steak and Sushi here or Filet Mignon. Also the slushi alcoholic beverages are great. They usually have a drink special everyday, so look for those! The atmosphere here is always high energy and positive. It is the place to be! They have great TVs as well that I love watching big sports games on. The desserts are great too and the appetizers. They have great chicken wings! Check them out, you won't regret it! If it's nice out they also have outdoor seating on a patio out back.

    I've been here several times after late night movies. Definitely decided to order some food this go. I'm a bit torn with this review and I'd like to stay it's more a 4.5 stars. Great selection, service, menu, drinks--- not exactly the price I want to pay for it. It's delicious but not crazy delicious. My friend says well it's probably cause we're ordering food at midnight so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Plus tax, my protein CAB burger came close to $14. Not too bad. Except having lived in LA, the burger was pretty much like an over priced in-n-out protein style patty. It was tasty, but I felt like I was paying more for service than the food. Apple pie was killer though. despite its size... It's pretty hefty and dense.

    BELLEVUE, WA: Had a nice lunch at JOEY today and was relatively pleased. The servers (all female) were lovely and fairly friendly, though service was a bit slow. The food was good. We had the sliders (4 stars), the rainbow roll (4 stars), and the fish tacos (5 stars).

  • Hana L.

    I always to go the University Village Joey's but decided to meet up with old friends in Bellevue. Not much different in terms of food quality or ambiance but I do think the waitstaff was much better at this location. We ordered a couple drinks, shared an appetizer, ordered entrées, and even got dessert! I thoroughly enjoyed my seared ahi tuna salad. The dressing was a tangy sauce that perfectly complemented the sweet and vinegary seaweed salad. The textures and flavors meshed so well. While all the items were great, two things stood out the most: my drink and the dessert. I ordered a blueberry ice slush and boy, can this drink be dangerous! It was strong but so tasty I could keep drinking them...I probably would have if I wasn't driving that night! For dessert, we shared a key lime pie and oh my goodness, it was so good! Sweet, tart, and served with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream, it was the perfect way to end our meal! We probably stayed there for 3 hours catching up and weren't pressured to leave and we were well attended to.

    Waited 10 minutes and got no service so left. Waitresses everywhere but no one wanted to wait my table I guess!

    Drinks are good, I love the slush. Food is good, we got some of the fun appetizers..calamari, tacos. Servers could be a bit more friendly and on top of it. (Blonde Asian girl specifically) However we moved to the bar top and Jen was great. The music could be A LOT better, the guests next to us agreed. The whole techno thing dampers the vibe. Maybe if they played more slow jams, or feel goods, it would be a better mood.

  • Muzamil A.

    Very happy to have found this place at midnight. They were really nice and the staff was super friendly. I ordered the sushi and steak combo with a side of shrimp and apple pie for dessert. Food came out super fast and hot and was delicious. I would probably get a different cut of meat next time but that's just my preference. I'm a ribeye kinda guy so most other steaks seem boring to me.

  • Joe H.

    This is one of those bars preferred by desperate males and females. I guess it could be a decent place to meet people but yeah... (actually for this, I recommend Pearl... another sad bar) Food is pretty decent but their beverage selection is very below average. The type of crowd depends on the day (or night) but overall, not recommended by me.

    I never end up here by choice. My friend wanted to go so I came reluctantly. I tried to order something gluten free and thought sushi would be safe. Our main waitress was really nice and if it wasn't for her I'd give it one star. When another server (Asian girl with blond hair) brought me my sushi roll I asked for tamari sauce (gluten free soy sauce) and in her snobby voice she said "what is that??" I told her and she said no. Not even "I'll go check" or "I'm sorry we don't carry that." Our waitress later told me the roll wasn't gluten free b/c it had a sauce on it that wasn't listed on the menu. My boyfriend ate it all but said it was the worst roll he's ever had but he was starving so ate it for me. Please don't ask me to come here with you ever.

    People wanna hate on Joey for being a chain or for being average. But you know... they're not average! I hadn't been to a Joey for years and after coming back recently there's one thing I noticed between this visit and past visits. Consistency. And yes, hot girls (for those interested). But really, consistency is something people are always looking for when dining out. Good drinks, good food, good service. I had all of that at more when I popped by for lunch last week. The food isn't going to keep you thin but for a splurge and some great flavor, their food will definitely do the trick. Portions are large too, so you get your money's worth. I came for lunch and tried a salad and some iced tea. Everything was as good or better than expected. Normally I've come for dinner or HH, so again, this place was solid because it appears that no matter what time you come, they're on their A game. Maybe less than ideal for a fancy date or special occasion, but perfect for work meetings, Happy Hour with friends, and especially great for a place if you're shopping nearby and want to grab a bite. The furniture is sturdy and handsome, the decor is simple and elegant, the service is attentive without being annoying and the food is delicious. Very happy with my visit here and will be open to coming back again sooner than four years from now. Given that Bellevue has a lot of chains, I'd highly, highly recommend Joey over a place like Red Robin, Cheescake Factory, or PF Chang's. This is so much better that you'd be a fool to support another chain over this one. The atmosphere here doesn't event feel like a chain, so that's a big plus too.

    My boyfriend and I are both bartenders and have worked in the service industry for a long time. That said, when we get off work, it's late and we look for a bar that serves food and cocktails late. We have given Joey's many chances and every time, they have let us down. They will no longer have our business and here are the many reasons why: First, do not let the hours fool you. They do last call before 1am, they do not stay open till 2. We've had a manager shut off all the tv's and turn on the lights on us while there was still a full bar rail, and while we were waiting for food. We've also had the doors locked on us before 1am. THEY ARE NOT OPEN UNTIL 2. Depending on who is working, you may be ignored. We've sat on the rail and still been ignored with three bartenders working. The servers are all beautiful but not all of them are happy or good at what they do. We wanted to make this restaurant work so badly because they are supposedly open late and have okay food but they are so not worth it. GO TO THE TAPHOUSE INSTEAD!!!

    I visited Joey's when it first opened and was not impressed at that time. I went back after a 7 year absence on Saturday, August 15. It was a total horror story. First, the service was terrible, we carefully specified that we wanted a plain chicken filet sandwich with nothing on it. It came with cheese melted all over it. The noise level prevented us from having a conversation. The music was obnoxiously loud, there were some inconsiderate people who were screaming and laughing. Needless to say, I won't be returning.

    My co workers and I had lunch here before a company event that was hosted at the Hyatt hotel across the street. We came in at 12pm and got seated shortly. There were 5 of us. 3 of us ordered salads, while one ordered their tacos and another one of their sandwiches. We did not get our food until 45 minutes later. Our waitress told us that they were very busy in the kitchen and that they are trying to get our food as soon as they can. Our company event starts at 1pm, and obviously we were late because we didn't have that much time to eat. We even got our bill before our food came. This was a Tuesday afternoon - is it super busy on a Tuesday afternoon? My salad came out tasting okay. It was just a small house salad. The other two's salads were okay as well. My co worker who ordered the tacos really liked his tacos. Thumbs up for that. The waitresses all seem to have a similar look - wearing short and tight black dresses. It must be the look Joey is after. Very interesting..and all the ladies do look pretty and nice. That must be a qualification you have in order to be a waitress here. I would give this place more stars if I didn't have to wait 45 minutes for my food, especially if more than half of us just ordered salad!

    I have been here multiple times, we love the steak, and every time has been a great experience. Nice waitstaff, dark but not gloomy, and great bar. If you like sushi you NEED to try their rainbow roll and their sushi cones. I will get 3 things of sushi comes every time I come, they're that good. Also, the steak is amazing and the fries are shoestring fries so they're not heavy like most. Love joeys!

    If I could give this place a 3.5 star rating, I would. But it's not as comparable to other restaurants that I have given 4 stars to on Yelp, so I had to round down to 3 stars today. 4 stars for taste, 3 stars for prices, and 3.5 stars for service. Food at Joey's is pretty good. Consistently good. There's nothing on the menu that I "can't live without" but I've eaten here a number of times and always felt satisfied. One of my recurring "go to's" is their shrimp flatbread ($14). It's always perfectly toasted and a good portion -- perfect for sharing or as a smaller meal for one. It's topped off with a little bit of pesto and then some sriracha aioli. The final product is quite delicious. Their ahi tuna salad (asian style) is also phenomenal -- nice plating, good portion, great flavors, and even a good portion of ahi. But at the $18 price point, it makes my wallet cringe (though I've caved a few times and ordered it anyway). Also, did I mentioned the cider here (angry orchard I think it was) was $6.50? Seems kind of pricey in my mind. Service isn't the greatest, but the girls working there are all cute in tight little dresses... so maybe that makes up for it? Hmm. Or maybe it's the cute little shoe string fries they serve with their burgers. They're fun to eat (the fries, I mean).

  • Travis T.

    If you followed my check-in, you'll see that I am always here at like 1AM on random days. Yes. The reason is because I have a habit of having a lot on my mind and going on long drives from my home in Downtown Seattle to Bellevue or am just hungry late late at night. I am here probably once or twice a week as a result. Environment: I love the environment here, the people are mostly tourists or business people visiting Seattle and staying at the Hyatt. I met a lot of cool and successful people while minding my own business at the bar drinking a glass of mojito or something. It is always loud here after midnight, no matter the time. Even if you're alone, I find comfort and company in hanging out here either talking with the beautiful waitresses or random people who after a few drinks just want to make a new friend. 4.7/5 :) Service: The waitresses here work hard and it feels like especially during the night rush, they remain understaffed thus resulting in slow service. It's not their fault, it's just the logistics, these girls deserve lots of credit for their hard work. 4.1/5 Food: The food here for me have always been good and I have VERY high standards in food. All, but once the food was good as I had a bad experience when my food just came out feeling cold. 4.0/5 Price: It's Joeys, a little higher class of a restaurant, but in terms of high class restaurant and my standards, it feels affordable for what you get in food and experience. But, not cheap if you drink as much as I had.. 3.8/5 Overall: This is a really nice place to eat, really classy, and lots of fun. The place is worth it if you are a single bachelor like myself who just want some good food, be in a good place, keep it classy, and have a good time. 4.3/5

    I enjoyed the appetizers especially the pesto flat bread and sliders royale! It's great for patio dining if you can get a booth and I liked the Bellini. They could put more tuna on the tuna tacos

  • Edith H.

    Nice furnishings, beautiful people, great patio. Excellent location across from Hyatt. Still, I can't recommend this place. Food was indifferent; yummy looking shoestring fries were cold. "Fresh squeezed lemonade" is about 2 oz of product in a 20 oz glass, so watered down it tastes like sour tap water. Waitress tried to be accommodating when I called this to her attention, and I asked her to bring me one with no ice. She convinced me to have at least "a little" ice, Then delivers the next one again full of ice to the brim. Third time, same thing. The bartender must have orders from mgt to be thinning the drinks to maximize profit. And yet prices are steep. A California roll with nine pieces is $28. It tasted ok, but Definitely not worth it. (The chicken sandwich was pretty good, though, my friend said.)

  • Suki S.

    I like Joeys because they accommodate picky eaters like me. And the drinks are usually pretty good. It's so hard to find parking in Bellevue so I'm glad they validate parking in the garage.

  • Mariann N.

    This was probably one of the most terrible places I have ever been to. I did not even get to try the food because the service was too slow. Although the host got our table started on drinks, my glass of water never hit the table. It took about 15-20 minutes before our server decided to come to our table. Not a great experience and I'm never coming back.

    (1)

  • Jacques I.

    I only come here if a friend really, really wants to go, but I've never found Joey's appealing. The waitresses are friendly, but the service can be slow. And the entire bar is filled with suits - not really my ideal scene. The food is slightly-above average, so eat somewhere else. Or better yet, get drunk somewhere else prior to coming here, so that when suits come up to you, in attempts to take you home, you'll find their flirting at least tolerable.

    (2)

  • Victor W.

    Decent upscale but casual spot for a bite or a drink but nothing special. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The menu is a bit of a smorgasbord of cuisines but anchored by an American taste (like their items such as steak and sushi). I tried the baja fish tacos. They were pretty good for fish tacos and also reasonably priced for the portion. Getting a morrocan soup for a little over a buck more seemed also like a good deal. Overall, I'd come back if I was staying at the Hyatt next door again but it isn't a place I'd go out of my way to eat. That said, if you're a local, it does seem like a fairly happening place for a Thursday night even on the later side past 10pm. Seems more like a dependable place than anything special.

  • Dan C.

    The service was downright horrible. I've been asking for water since the beginning of dinner and it hasn't been filed once! We couldn't get ketchup for our fries and the appetizer pays were left on the table throughout until we were done, and only then did they come to clear the table. The food was great, but the service by the staff was horrible.

  • Yen E.

    First time here. I ordered their sushi cone and it was delicious! The tempura prawn wasn't like others, it had a really nice crunch. I also ordered their rainbow roll which was realllllly good too! The ahi tuna was nice and fresh. I rarely drink and tried their Pimms Cup and let's just say, I had 2 and it is now my favorite drink. Our waitress was awesome though! Another waitress who helped bring out our dishes, sadly, slammed my rainbow roll on the table without an apology.. whatever. Delicious food and great place to hang out and just watch some football.

  • Angela N.

    I would live out of here if I could! One of my favorite places since their old Seattle location! Service is always friendly, food is always excellent! I'm never disappointed... And the drinks!! Love love love!! Their salads, steaks, sandwiches... Basically everything is delicious! Their dessert isn't that special however there is a Molly Moon's ice cream shop right next door!

  • Nicole F.

    Meh. This place has a nice atmosphere, but their customer service blows. We came in on a Saturday during lunch hours around 2pm on Aug. 23rd, was seated inside on a high top bar-like table, and it was not busy at all. Our waitress, with a little past shoulder length brown hair, projected an attitude as if she didn't want to be there or serve our table. I swear she did not smile once. She took a while to take our order so we had to flag her down to order since my friend had an appointment, so she took his order down but didn't even bother to ask if I wanted to order... Even though I knew what I wanted... So there I am waiting for her to come back. Again. So at this point I order when his food arrives. I pretty much waited 35 minutes to order food. Also my friend ordered a side of ranch and it took 15 minutes for him to receive it and we also saw it ready on the counter. He received it only because the manager came by our table and delivered it after we told her it's been a while. Whatever. I had the ahi tuna sandwich which has hamburger buns and it was alright but makes a great photo.

  • Nate C.

    Excellent bartenders and waitresses. Its kind of funny how most of the bad reviews of this place are insecure women talking about the "snobby" gorls that work here. Yes, they have hot waitresses, no that doesnt make them snobby. The men and women who work here are nice. The food is top quality. Go for the short ribs. If youre insecure, maybe you wont like this place..so why did you go out in the first place?

  • Michelle W.

    Awful service, good food. We experienced Joey twice this weekend. The first time service was okay and food was fantastic. Second time was deplorable: we were ignored at hostess stand, then when we were seated a lady asked for our drink order - but because it was only water we never saw her again (we saw her deliver other drinks to other tables). Then after waiting 10+ minutes we called the hostess over to us. Again we ordered waters and our meal. Again no water for 5+ more minutes. Finally another waitress came over to tell us they were out of salmon. Because of the horrible service and being ignored we decided to just leave. I'm an easy to please customer but being ignored is unacceptable on a relatively light day. Especially when we were able to watch the wait staff stand around and chat. Boo.

    One of the best dinners we ever had! I always wanted to try Joey Bellevue firstly because I loved the ambience. When ever I used to walk by the place, I wanted to try this place once. And so we finally chose this venue as a birthday dinner treat for my husband. We ordered a sirloin steak and a rotisserie chicken. According to My husband, he said that was one of the best steaks he ever had. My chicken was juicy and the fries were really good! I know you might wonder how come fries are "good"! They were slender and more crunchy than the usual fries I tasted on various burger joints.. That's what! The prices were reasonable too.. The service was reasonably fast. The staff are attentive. During weekends I think finding a proper parking in Lincoln square might be tricky. But otherwise, it's a definite try!

    Trendy lounge, staff could care less. Drinks were good, as was the piano bar atmosphere. Food was lacking as well as service. Don't bother if you are going out of your way. Ok if you are already there.

  • Lisa K.

    I went in at midnight on a busy Friday night with my boyfriend, and we were placed at our table right away. This is our first time dining here, and the waitresses were very polite and patient. We knew it would be a plesant experience! We ordered the pesto shrimp flat bread (apps), herb crushed salmon, and the entree chicken rotisserie with shrimp skewers. The shrimp skewer was to die for! It's not the typical shrimp you get at an All You Can Eat. The shrimp was very savouring and unique tasting. We'll definitely come back for the shrimp skewers! For drinks we had the Sangria and the Raspberry Joey burst, and both were very exceptional! We got the molten lava chocolate souffle for dessert and the chocolate was literally exquisite paired with the vanilla ice cream. Overall, the service was outstanding and the food was delicious! We are definitely coming back!

    Honestly, if you want a great atmosphere around the Hyatt in Bellevue, this is your spot. Big boy meal = hibachi wings and then the short rib. (I was starving...but put down every bit of it!) I ate at the bar so service was at a level to be expected.

  • Emily S.

    My boyfriend and I are regulars at Joeys. We eat there at least twice a month because the food and drinks are good. This last time we were there, we had been seated about 5 minutes when all of a sudden an entire plate of drinks was spilled on me, They were not even our drinks. It wasn't the servers fault (a rude customer had run into her), but I wish it would have been handled a little differently. I was SOAKED, completely covered in booze. I could tell they felt bad, and I wasn't going to be the bitch all upset about it, accidents happen. But all I got was a free round of drinks. They offered to share some perfume with me, but the smell wasn't my main concern...being completely wet all Friday night was. I feel like I should have gotten my meal for free, but I did not and that was disappointing. This won't stop my boyfriend and I from coming here, but I would recommended being careful which tables you choose to Sit at. As far as food goes, always get a loaded crispy mashed potatoe! So YUM!

  • Stephanie S.

    Pretty good spot in Bellevue. The food was very tasty. We had the lettuce wraps which were delicious and probably some of the better ones I've had. I had a peach Bellini for a drink which was yummy and like a smoothie. For dinner I had the beach salad. It was spinach, goat cheese, walnuts, strawberries and chicken. Yum! My friends had the steak which looked delicious. The place is on the pricier side, but it is bellevue. They also don't have a happy hour, just a special discount drink daily.

  • Al L.

    Brought 6 Friday night after watching the Manchester United game. First the lemonade. Worst ever. Weird color and sour. Then the food. Hair on the plate for one. Despite asking for a med burger, it was so overdone it tasted like cardboard. Took an hour to get the bill. Said something to one of the waitresses.....and nothing. These people don't give a damn. Don't waste your time...plenty of good places around this area. Try Lot3.

    Nice and modem restaurant with ok service. The bar is pretty decent with some of the most seatings in Bellevue square. There is something with Joey that just does not attract me... It has fine food, reasonable price.... Maybe it's the fake fusion environment I am just not a big fan... But overall it is a fairly decent place to hang out

  • Crystal S.

    A bit of a yuppie joint... Specifically if your male over the age of 40. Very pretty waitresses dressed in low cut black dresses. Excellent service... A little high on prices... But I suppose it does sit right in front of the Hyatt.

    I love this place!! The ambiance is absolutely amazing!! The decor is super modern. My favorite entree is the salmon!! Oh goodness is it amaze balls!! When I'm trying to a little more healthier they totally do exactly what I tell them to do with the dish. I highly recommend this place for place to get together with friends.

    I come here often, but I never seen any thing like this as far as the service . We were there Sunday night and our bartender was horrible . She never smiled the whole time and was not happy to have anyone sitting at her bar . Even other customers were complaining about her . I decided to talk to the manager after we closed our tab and I am not sure where it went after that, but definitely not good for the business .

    I came here for drinks after dinner. I just wanted to update on the service. It wasn't as busy as last time in the bar area. Our waitress was nice and attentive and came to check on us a couple times during our stay. I just think service here is hit & miss-it just depends. I got the super stoked vodka coke with the Smirnoff vanilla vodka. It was good, but since it is a slushy type of drink, it was watery by the time I finished it.

    A place to be seen, no doubt. Used to come here more in the day to get dolled up, it's a fun night out in this super busy part of DT. While the salads can get up towards $20, they're fresh, and lots of toppings. Nice round booths on the left facing the street, so they're quite popular, always best to make resos. What's real cool with this particular location is, unlike back home, they're open til 2am daily.

    Great game day atmosphere, I used to come here every Sunday for the football games for a year straight. Excellent sliders and attentive staff. A little pricey on the drinks but for the overall experience, this is one of my favorite game day bars to watch the games.

    This place has a cool vibe. The drinks are good, the food is good, but the portion of meat for a hamburger seemed awfully small. It's a little pricey but if you want to eat and look cool doing it, this is your place. Also I don't think you're allowed to work here unless you're a hot girl but that's irrelevant....

    The only reason this Joey's deserves one star is because the food is consistent. Other than that the service is astonishingly horrible. Every single time we have come here we are greeted with attitude. Once you do finally get sat the servers aren't horrible, but there's usually 5 people trying to wait on your table and you still can't get your water filled, drink re-fill etc. Once we were waiting by the front desk area after we had given our name to be seated and another waitress asked us annoyed "What are you doing?!"Ummmm seriously? These girls act like they are supermodels and run the world, you work at Joey's and have attitudes for absolutely no reason. Just because you work at a high-class hooters doesn't mean you're better than anyone. Ending verdict: kudos to the chefs, the food is usually on point. But the wait/hostess staff needs a serious reality and attitude check..

    LOVE Coming here!!! Salmon is amazing and the ambience is so pretty. I love sitting out on their patio on a nice day. The only reason I give them 4 stars instead of 5 is because server and host attitudes could use a little bit of work. Other than that, great place! Strongly recommend

    Ok, first of all the service is as good as it gets. With the rare exception of an occasional server that does not keep up with the rest, the service staff works as an outstanding team and makes you feel like a king. It is really quite extraordinary. I love the service experience here. It is one of a kind! Keep up the great work!!! The food is also excellent. It is a bit pricey, and I also noticed that some of the cocktails are a little small, and that much of the glass gets filled with big ice cubes. I do not really like that too much, but I am still going to give them five stars for WOW service and delicious food on my recent visits. I really feel happy when I go here and that is what it is all about... Cheers to the management and staff at Joey's Bellevue. Love you all! PS Just a little less ice in the drinks... and more drink...

    Received the worst service just now. Everything was going fine until my food was finished being prepared. I stared at my steak and the rest of the order die on the kitchen counter for about 12 minutes while my waitress was chatting with a coworker. Several other waitresses walked by the counter picking up their order still ignoring mine. The kitchen staff was busy throwing objects to one another. My seat was right in front of the open kitchen and I got a great view of everything. I decided I didn't want a cold steak and got up to leave. My food was still sitting there when I left. I informed the waitress and all she offered was a simple sorry and made sure that we weren't skipping out on the bill. I used to come here often for the food, but after tonight's experience I won't be returning.

    Goodness, didn't even know this was a chain! I was staying "across the street" so this was perfect as far as convenience for those in my conference. Service was awesome and the waitresses were friendly. Was in a very... peppy mood so my friend & I decided to "go all out" for our lunch - sangria (drink of the day, $6), szechuan edamame & one of the lunch specials for each. I'm not a fan of sangria, but dang. This was awesome, refreshing, and hit the spot. The edamame was a huge serving of it, a little too much seasoning (the sauce) but delicious. My soup & salad combo - no complaints other than the soup being a little too spicy/hot for my personal pref, but the side of bread helped.

    A couple weeks ago, we came in and sat at the bar. It was a Wednesday or Thursday night, I don't remember, but still pretty full. We ordered three dishes, and it took well over 40 minutes for our food to come out. When it finally came out, everything was COLD. I don't mean, like, luke-warm - I mean flat-out cold. My cream of mushroom soup was cold, the pasta and meatballs were cold, and the jerk chicken wings were cold. I am guessing the food sat in the window for 20 minutes or more before being picked up by a waiter and brought to us. We were super disappointed. We left and I doubt we'll be returning, which is a shame because the atmosphere is pretty amazing. Therefore the 2 stars - the atmosphere.

    Very slow service. We were there on a Friday night, plenty of tables open, and they didn't appear to be short staffed. Having worked in the service industry ourselves, we were looking for a reason not to be upset. It was (no joke) 20 minutes before we were able to place our drink order. The food arrived before the drinks. We never saw the waitress again until it was time to flag someone down for the check. Food-wise it was okay. Very middle of the road when you consider the price. The patio was great. Nicest part of the whole meal was the ambiance.

    I have long enjoyed going to Joeys restaurants over the years, especially the Canadian locations. When they opened here south of the border around 2006 I was excited. As expected, the service and food were good and I ate here about twice a month. Over the years the food has remained reasonably tasty but the service has spiralled into awful. Today's lunch reinforced I need stop going to this location once and for all: I had to get up and find someone for service THREE times. First to order, then to get another drink, and finally to pay. It was outrageous. I even briefly toyed with the idea of leaving without paying because clearly nobody gave a shit, or even half of one. True story: about 7 years ago the waitstaff here was instructed to ask if everything had been "perfect" at the end of the meal to make sure you were happy. The wheels have totally come off the bus since then.

    I ordered chicken lettuce wraps and there was hardly any chicken! It was all dried crunchy noodles and I don't eat carbs! There was only 5 little pieces of chicken that filled up a quarter of a lettuce leaf. contrarily PF Chang's offers a enough meat to fill up at least 3-4 lettuce leafs. Good thing is that chef and manager came out and apologized. They also didn't charge me. Some of the other food was good and the environment is nice, so I'm rating this a four.

    Went to JOEY on a Monday night, it was pretty packed in the bar area. Our waitress was on top of getting us water promptly and it didn't take more than 30 minutes to get our food. I was so hungry by the time I had gotten my food I scarfed down half of my french dip. Then I sampled a piece of meat that had fallen off... it was completely cold. Then I sampled my french fries... they also felt like they were stuck in the freezer. So I asked the waitress to take it back and reheat it for me. She was very nice about the whole situation. Shortly, the manager came over and apologized, said she would take care of the meal for me, and within a short amount of time I had a brand new french dip that was perfectly warm. I was very happy with my service and glad to know they will take care of any discrepancies in the kitchen.

    Wow, what an incredibly pleasant surprise. We went out for dinner last night and ended up spontaneously stopping into JOEY. The atmosphere in the bar was a delight, the service was fantastic and the food was pretty darn good. Found a new place to come back to which is always nice. Had the wings with parmesan dipping sauce, highly recommended. Had the sirloin with crispy mashed potatoes which completely threw me off when they arrived, not at all what I expected and freaking awesome! Imagine an springroll filled with mashed potatoes and topped with sour cream cheese and bacon, hell yes right? And let's not forget the wedge of gorgonzola toasted bread, holy moly was that amazing. My husband had the ahi tuna tacos, he was completely satisfied. Wouldn't order that dish alone if that was your only dinner, luckily he wasn't very hungry so it was perfect for what he was looking for. Being pregnant, I had a non alcoholic drink called a JOEY burst with strawberry, it was hands down delicious and Id go back for just that. We chose the key lime pie for dessert... do not leave this place without trying this piece of heaven. I can't even explain how good it was, just that we talked about it all the way home.

    Exactly what I would expect from Bellevue WA. Very upscale restaurant and bar located in the Bellevue Place block. Surprising variety of beers available and decent food, well cooked. But not blown away by the options. Service was great, especially for Bellevue. Half of our party went to the wrong location but our server was very accommodating waiting 45 mins for all of us to arrive and serving us the whole time. We definitely expected to be ignored after "being difficult" but were treated well and tipped well.

    This is a review of JOEY Bellevue as a lunch time establishment. I have not eaten there for dinner. Nor have I spent any time in the bar. I imagine learning to speak English is a very difficult task. Consider if you will, trying to master words that are pronounced the same but spelled differently, regional colloquialisms, idioms and double entendres. It's amazing to me that ESL students aren't walking around in a state of perpetual confusion. For example, if I was hypothetically speaking to someone just learning English about JOEY Bellevue and said, "That place is a real meat market." How might my statement be understood? Might my conversation partner assume I'm talking about the delicious French Dip sandwich I had for lunch recently? It was, after all, stacked high with perfectly prepared roast beef between a tasty house baked bun. One could certainly understand how that might be praise that I'm heaping on my sandwich. Or, might that person be familiar with the more lascivious meaning? The statement would certainly need to be qualified, because, frankly, as the person who hypothetically spoke it, I'm not even sure which meaning I was referring to. But, since I was there for a business lunch, let's take the higher ground. Situated in the heart of Bellevue, JOEY Bellevue fits in perfectly with Kemper Freeman's utopian vision for the city. The restaurant is immaculate, the food is upscale and the staff, particularly the young female waitresses (there are no men working the floor), are exceptionally attractive, full of smiles and adept at their jobs. Undoubtedly to Freeman's great satisfaction, the restaurant is far too upscale for the great unwashed masses that may someday flood Bellevue once the dreaded light rail arrives ( bit.ly/12BvLzK ). Working in downtown Bellevue I do have the occasion to go out for business lunches from time-to-time and JOEY Bellevue is terrific for these types of meetings -- particularly because the tab will be going on an expense account. Here is the tab from a lunch which I recently had with one other person: House Salad $6.00 Small Soup $6.00 Souvlaki $13.50 French Dip $17.00 Coffee $3.00 Sub total $45.50 Tax $4.32 Tip $9.00 Total $58.82 On an expense account, that's still pretty pricey for a lunch, but probably isn't going to get too much scrutiny. If, on the other hand, it was just the two of us having a casual lunch, i.e. paying out of our own pockets, that would be an untenable amount to spend. So that's sort of the line of demarcation for JOEY Bellevue. Yes, it's good -- maybe 3.5 stars good -- but I would only go there within specific constraints such as a business lunch. Health Department Report I've decided to add records from the King County Department of Public Health to my restaurant reviews because most people don't even know these records are available. Food safety inspections at JOEY Bellevue have been something of a mixed bag. There last three scores going back to April 2012 are 80, 0 and 50. Seems like they should be able to be more consistent than that. Source: 1.usa.gov/X6GQYj . More information on what the scores mean here: 1.usa.gov/R2 .

    We are staying at the Hyatt next door and after taking a dip in the pool decided to get take out so we could relax in our room. My husband went to pick up the food and when he walked in the manager said "bathroom?" No "hello" or "how are you?" What was she implying? No wonder they don't have good reviews. We like the food since we go to the Tukwila location often. Then she lost the bill. We won't be back!

    I used to go to Joey at least three times a week when I lived in Bellevue. I've tried almost everything on their menu. I've been here on weekdays, weekends, Happy Hour, lunch, and dinner. I've been here with large parties, small groups, and just a table for two. I even recognized most of the wait staff during my 3-year residence in Bellevue. Since I moved to Seattle two years ago, I've only come back once every few months for my usual order of sweet potato, bleu cheese fries, and molten chocolate lava cake. I noticed that the service isn't as good, but I thought it was just me. However, I went to revisit Joey Bellevue last weekend, and I was truly disappointed by what the service has become. There was a long wait, which was expected since it was Friday night. When I tried to put my name down for a table, the hostess told my friend and I that we should just go to the bar/lounge area where it's open seating so we can immediately take a seat when someone leaves. Maybe she was trying to let us find seats more quickly, but both my friend and I felt like she was just trying to shoo us away from the restaurant area. I asked if I can just put my name down for a table at the restaurant area, and she said she will call when a table is ready in about 15 minutes. Almost half an hour passed, and I came to check again. She said there are still 7 people ahead of me. If there were 7 people ahead, she shouldn't have said 15 minutes at the first place! My friend and I could have gone elsewhere instead of waiting. We were frustrated with the welcome staff that we decided to elsewhere for dinner. But I wanted my molten chocolate lava cake fix from Joey, so we decided to go back for dessert. Thankfully, there was no wait since it was pass 11p.m. The chocolate cake was as good as I've always remembered it to be. Unfortunately, the waitress had the most condescending tone and gave off such a snobby vibe. Perhaps this was because my friend and I are in our early 20s, but that still speaks volumes about the restaurant's service. I do feel that Joey Bellevue waitresses have always been a little too flirtatious. When I come here with family or older colleagues, the waitresses become a little to chatty with the older men in the group. I'm not sure if it's restaurant policy, but the waitresses and hostesses wear short bandage dresses and stilettos that seem to make them more flustered than presentable. I'm completely get that restaurants want their staff to look good and act welcoming, but please don't let that get in the quality of service.

    This review will be one of my shorter ones, I mean, what else could I say about Joeys that hasn't been said 300+ times already? The food is decent, but horrendously overpriced (I live in downtown Bellevue, so I know overpriced.) The waitresses pretty much wear what a normal person wears to bed (though I'm not complaining) and have no clue how to provide quality service. The clientele is mostly late 30's-mid 40's males (most of them married with kids) skeezing on said waitresses. The exception of course is Friday and Saturday night, when the douche posse comes out. Wall to wall 20 somethings thinking they're the king s*** and being obnoxious. If that's your idea of a good time, then by all means come on in, but this guy is (at least) five years too old for that nonsense. Joeys isn't all bad though, it's a great spot to people watch after all. However, with all the food options at your disposal in Bellevue, you can have a much better meal for the money. They simply don't provide high enough quality food for the price, despite the eye candy they've hired to bring it to you.

    We have dined here many times over the years. We attend a West Coast swing dance convention here annually, so we frequent all eateries in this Hyatt Bellview hotel. There were 6 of us last night. Greeters were sweet and prompt. Waiter a handsome young man with great manners. The place is filled with very attractive young servers who "check on you" regularly. Very hip place with music very loud...perhaps they crank up the decibels just for us dancers...which we do not need when we dine! LOVE the Beach Salad, as always, excellent, very healthy, hip and tasty. Sliders yummy but gave me indigestion for Hours! (I forgot to request NO fire-grill) Salmon was perfect! Steak was requested med-rare, yet it was served medium. Full sized burger was mounded with thin fries. Beverages fine

    Was there Wednesday night for a friend's birthday. Spent some time at the bar waiting for a table, and had their Elderflower Collins. Really nice drink, but mostly the grapefruit flavor was powerful so you didn't taste much else. It was really busy, and we were a big group, so I understand, but our waitress got a lot of orders wrong and no explanation of what drink she brought, just left them on the table as they came along. Which wouldn't have been a problem if she kept track of who ordered what and put the drink in front of the right person. At our table, I had the Herb Crush Salmon (grilled Skuna Bay salmon, beurre blanc, crispy mashed potato, vegetables) and it was amazing. I'm from Japan and we eat a lot of seafood, so I tend to be very critical when it comes to how fish is prepared. Too much sauces and flavors that compete with the flavors of the fish, etc. Bit this was just right with herbs and flavors that blended well with the natural flavors and fat of the salmon. Not overcooked, so the texture of the salmon was just right as well. First time eating mashed potato in a crisp roll, which was nice, but I thought it was redundant to serve it on top of more mashed potato.

    Went to Joey's before doing some Black Friday shopping and had the best ahi tuna tacos and sliders! They now have 4 tacos instead of 3 (which is great for sharing) although I don't share ;) our waitress was super sweet and friendly! Best service I've had in awhile thanks to Karina!

  • Andrew L.

    I've been here a few times, and guess I have mixed feelings about this place... Pros: They servers are generally knowledgeable, attractive, nice to talk to and friendly. The décor is intimate, trendy and modern, booths are comfortable and in the bar, plenty of TV action to catch the game or just relax with your group, drinking. What doesn't seem to work for me, is the food. it's nothing special, and I can't say that if I'm heading here, it's for the environment. I want to write more, but really, I'll be back, for the drinks and the proximity to my work and the Hyatt, where I spend a lot of time in meetings.

    March 27 2015. 5:30PM. Overall not good. Staff were very pleasant as usual. We have been here a lot! The food was inconsistent. We sent the chicken wraps back due to the lack of a critical ingrident. This item was not removed from the bill. The service from the bar was terribe. My wife had to wait 20 minutes for her wine. The food was faster however. The flat bread shrimp pizza has change to a doughy mess with some creamy topping, awfull. So my advice to you, the reader, is to go to 520 on Main Street. A hit every time consistently great serice and food. We go there a lot too, and now even more. Good for 520. Sadly, we now have Joey's on our NO-GO list indefinately, along side Earls. -Andy

    This is always a place that my husband and I go to when we want to head to someone slightly fancier with food that is guaranteed to please both of us. There are plenty of eating options in downtown Bellevue i.e Tavern Hall, Scottys Brown, Taphouse but this is hands down, the best restaurant in downtown Bellevue. The food has never disappointed us and I love how diverse the menu is. We usually head down to the restaurant at least once a month, and decided to head there yesterday to celebrate our 2nd year wedding anniversary. Our server, Calvin H, was extremely attentive and immediately asked if we were celebrating a special occasion as he saw the bottle of scotch that I got as a gift for my husband. I had the usual Steak Frites and my husband has his ahi tuna sandwich. Both were cooked perfectly, my steak was medium well, and the garlic(parsley?) butter went perfect with my steak. My husband's ahi tuna was seared to perfection. It also helps that they have a great selection of drinks, and my personal favorite is the peach bellini! Calvin brought our dessert (chocolate souffle) out and surprised us with a "Happy Anniversary" wording on our plate and even gave us extra ice cream. Now at this point in time, we were already extremely happy with how attentive and awesome Calvin is. When we asked for our check, Calvin actually told us that he told his manager about our anniversary and the restaurant is covering the costs of our food! That was an extremely awesome gesture! One, we can't believe that Calvin actually took the initiative to ask his manager about it, and two, we can't believe that the restaurant actually was sweet enough to waive off the costs of our dinner! We only had to cover our drinks! JOEY, I used to think of you as my go-to-restaurant In Bellevue but often stray to other places. Now,you have my unconditional loyalty now. Thank you for making it such a special night for my husband and I!

    Came for happy hour. Food Sushi cones: more noodles than sushi Mediterranean Pizza: I couldn't get past how greasy it was, hard to swallow, nothing special but small meat slices and small garnish. Sliders were good, the mini burgers. Buns were warm and meat was tender enough Drink Peach Bellini was good. Their super nova was sweet enough, had a bit of a fruity tang to it. Service: Good, attentive even during busy moments Still giving them a two start rating, it was the food that didn't impress me. Yes I have higher expectations for downtown Bellevue location, especially with their pricing.

    As a regular customer at joeys I've always enjoyed the upbeat positive environment. I tried the Bellevue location last week and had the worst service of my life. Having worked in the customer service industry I know better than to treat my customers like an inconvenience. Compliments to the chef as the food was amazing but unfortunately we will be sticking to the Southcenter location as they have the complete package.

    Well..... CONTINUING TO TRY to this place but, the service is what it is. Maybe our standards are a too high or something. We dine at John Howie, Tokyo and Lot 3 in downtown Bellevue nightly (to name a few) and we live at the Bravern Residences. I said that to say..... We love great food and wonderful service. Joeys unfortunately just isn't the spot. The food is pretty good and the drinks are very good. IT'S JUST THE CUSTOMER SERVICE! So.... Tonight my wife and I made a deal before we dined here, that no matter what we would just eat what we liked here and LEAVE!!!!!!

    I have been Joeys many times and I enjoy their food, however, my last experience made me not want to go Joeys ever. I went with a group of friends, instead of telling us there would be waiting they just split the group up, so we end up sitting at two different tables at the opposite ends of the room. I have no idea why they thought this would be acceptable. I want to sit with my friends and catch up with them, not wave at them from across the room. We just ended up leaving the restaurant. So disappointing!

    Walking by and looked like a great ambiance. Have 2 small kids and they loved sliders and gyoza. We enjoyed the fish tacos and the dinner salmon with the crispy potatoes.

  • Shereen A.

    I enjoy the ambiance and the food is pretty consistent. Well, hey, it's a chain! For some reason, all the menu items I enjoy are pulled from the menu, never to return.Sad face. I tend to order salads here, usually. The Beach Salad, while not out of this world, is decent. I don't really care too much for the THICK vinaigrette (isn't vinaigrette supposed to be thin?) but like the texture of the quinoa and the strawberries in the salad. What I don't care for is the sloppy service. Follow me... 1. We wanted to sit outside, the hostess opened the door and didn't hold it open for our party of five. Really?! She held it open for herself and proceeded to go lead us to our table. Except the door closed on us... 2. We wanted to sit next to a heat lamp but she sat us elsewhere and told us that our server would bring the heat lamp over. Tick Tock.... We drag the heat lamp over to our table and the server sees us and relieves us of the task. He did, however, kindly bring us snuggly blankets (+1) 2.5 We didn't get silverware, water, or napkins until food came. Found that a little strange. I may be nitpicky by this point. 3. We picked a few things off the menu and asked the waiter for his favorite recommendation. His response, "I don't know, I haven't tried it." SERIOUSLY?! As a server, you're supposed to know the menu like the back of your hand, have tried everything from the moon and back, or lie about how some random menu item has changed your life and you eat it every dang day! 4. Since it was my friend's birthday, we wanted to surprise (key word, surprise!!) him with a dessert menu item. I find a server that was hanging out with the hostess that sat us and asked her if they could send out a molten lava cake for dessert. Making an effort to "go to the restroom" the conversation took quite a while. "1 molten lava cake for dessert as a birthday surprise, please" "Sure, but we don't have candles or anything" "Ok, that's fine" "You'll have to pay for the dessert" "Yes that's fine, I didn't think it would be complimentary" "We can write HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the plate" "Cool,thanks!" "We don't sing or anything" "Ok" "What number table are you at?" "The table the Hostess seated us at, the number isn't displayed" I assume they have some kind of numbering system, I wouldn't know about that.... "Sorry we don't have candles" ::Server clears plates:: SURPRISEEEEE "Is it someone's birthday here? We will bring you a dessert soon" Um.BAAAAAAAH!!!! Usually the surprise is in the delivery of dessert, not telling everyone at the table that a birthday dessert is coming after someone makes an effort to "go to the restroom" to order it as a surprise. Sigh. Foreshadowing at its best. I've been here previously and we were seated in view of the kitchen. Friend ordered a burger without the bacon. Since we were SUPER hungry, we were eyeing the plates under the heat lamp waiting to be served guessing which orders were ours. We see a hamburger, salad, and whatever else we ordered. Anticipating them bringing it over, we see the burger disappear and come back up to the heat lamps a couple minutes later. My friend says, "I bet he forgot I didn't want bacon, made the hamburger and pulled the bacon out". Sure enough, game over! End of story. There were bits of bacon in the burger. We spoke to the manager who apologized profusely. Pretty wrong not to remake the burger even after noticing your mistake. Totally dangerous for someone who doesn't eat pork for allergy reasons. Joey's, your nickname is now "Sloppy Joe's". I'll probably be back for nachos or something. I hear you only hire people who are good looking enough to get a job at A&F. If this is true, please train them on being timely and up the level of customer service from "annoying" to "I will hurry because your food will get cold". Kthanks

    Had the new BBQ salmon rice bowl and it was AMAZING! Highly recommended! The circular seating is quaint and inviting. The staff was super friendly and helpful in meal selection.

    Joey of Bellevue is a regular stop on my lunch calendar. The service is always attentive and friendly and the burgers and sandwiches are well above average. Today I had the chicken club sandwich with house salad. The chicken was cooked to perfection: no pink but very moist, and the salad was cold and crisp. Our waitress was friendly and prompt with drink refills AND she was working with a minor ankle injury. You have to respect a professional who is willing to work injured. A great lunch served by a dedicated staff - what more could you ask? Sit in the lounge instead of the bar if you get their early enough.

    Went here with my boyfriend Sat down had an appetizer and a drinks service was the usual at joeys (I'll get to you when I get to you) anyways that's not what bothered me what bothered me was these people that sat down after we did - who didn't seem to fond of an interracial couple we are seriously minding our business as they are being childish and talking about us it was very uncomfortable the reason they were doing that is because they wanted their added group to be able to sit in our seats so they could sit together and then believe it or not ! The waitress that was kissing their ass comes up and asks us to move to a table !!!!!!! I was disgusted it was wrong we were sitting there for about an hour before these ppl joeys sucks!

    So my favorite place just went way down in my eyes as I'm sitting at the bar, just got through eating and a lady sits down at the bar with a dog. This was my favorite place as you can see since I am the Yelp Duke, but I won't be coming back since I know dogs are allowed. The bartender said they are not allowed but no one did anything to remove the patron. Bye bye Joeys

    I can't get enough of the ahi tuna club; seared ahi topped with bacon, two onion rings, arugula and some sort of sweet "relish." The flavors all work well together. At $16.50 it is a little pricey, but hey, this is one awesome sandwich.

    Overpriced and loud. Mostly caters to 1) nearby hotel tourists who don't know the area well enough to do better; and 2) Bellevue singles looking to get lucky, since it's one of the few adult-themed bar/restaurants in the area for folks looking to have fun in downtown Bellevue after work (Red Robin bar area, anyone?). If you're not looking to hook up and you're not tied to the nearby Hyatt, may I humbly suggest pretty much any other restaurant than this one. Walk a few blocks south on Bellevue Way and give Garlic Crush or Monsoon East a shot, they cost the same and are twice as good.

    7:30pm on a Sunday - I'm hauling ass because I'm late for a date. Underestimated how long it took to walk from Main St. to Joey's. Great way to start a date by the way - tired with crazy hair sticking to my forehead from the sweat, shirt untucked, swollen feet. Sigh. Oh, and just so you know - it took me 9 minutes to walk from point A to B - forgot about all the pededstrian stop lights. Oy. As I walk in to the familiar waiting area, I get a phone call from a coworker - "Joa, I saw you walking into Joey's...so did your boss." *GULP* I look down at my clothes and realize it is very fitting for Joey's but I wouldn't want anyone from work seeing me this way. I have to keep that conservative reputation you know. ;P Hehe. Anyway - I got a little nervous and embarrassed but the hostess gave me a big welcoming smile as if to say "It's OK, I got you girl." That made me feel better. My date came out to see that I was here and we all walked together to our seat. The restaurant was pretty quiet at this hour. Very relaxing actually. Super dim lights, you can see the kitchen through the glass. No one seemed rushed. Everyone seemed quite happy - staff and customers alike. Received menus right away. Got a drink order in almost ASAP. I think the server picked-up on my mixed feelings of hunger + thirst + nervousness + apologetic as she was very prompt to sweetly ask if there was anything she could put in an order for. She was super cute! That's the point of Joey's I hear - cute servers and good food. Haha :P I ordered a Gin & Tonic. They did not have my favorite Gin of the moment (Ebb and Flow) but they did have Sapphire which is my default. No problem. Drink came out promptly with a generous amount of Gin in it. We ordered Nachos Grande and a Chicken Rotisserie plate. The Rotisserie looked and smelled amazing! And full of flavor apparently! Hoorah. One of the better things on the menu from what I know. Same with the Nachos Grande - good flavor and simple - no nonsense. Diners can make the nachos mild medium or hot on the spicy scale. I ordered mild - I was already in a hyper state from practically running to Joey's - didn't want to add spicy breath and extra sweat. Otherwise, I would have ordered medium or hot. It came out just as I ordered and with enough chicken, beans, chips, avocados, etc for two meals...man they're generous with their portions here. I was very happy and felt myself calming down. Funny how food can do that sometimes... The food here can often be too salty (fish/steak) but they do chicken really well. I will definitely be back.

  • Gilbert L.

    Perhaps I give this full stars because I am a guy and every single one of those Robert Palmer-esque waitresses really do look great in those short black dresses. Maybe it is that the waitresses actually do a great job and don't just leave it to their looks for tips. Or, maybe it is the really good menu that the staff actually knows a lot about and are able to help shepard along indecision. Visited this spot several times over a 5 day period more less because it was the way better alternative to the hotel bar that was not so great. Great atmosphere to have lunch or dinner. Fantastic for groups to congregate around the bar area as it was designed for sociable situations. Most notable meal we had there was when we were an 8-top. we were able to seat during a busy lunch hour right away. Ordered a variety of appetizers (calamari fritto, chips and artichoke dip, blue cheese fries) which was pretty good. I guess there was confusion on portion sizes but then again I was comparing it to Texas portions, yikes. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It was cut in three pieces with some fries. The coleslaw and tomato really made the taste pop. All around juicy but not messy. Everyone was happy with their orders. Some, pleasantly surprised. That basically sealed it with coming back several times after that. PS - Seriously, it's like every attractive girl in the whole city decided to work there at the same time.

    Service time is horrible. Went there last night. Not a big fan of the waiter who served us; kinda condescending, kinda forgot to bring water to our table, kinda stand-offish, kinda didn't give a shit about clearing the plates off of the table before bringing our main course.

  • Thomas M.

    Normally I would give it 3 stars for excellent food at a fair price with attentive service. But last time I was there, the food was a bit delayed, and they went way above and beyond, ensuring that it earned a place in our dining that was preferred vs just a great opportunistic spot to come for happy hour. I love the fish tacos, definitely worth trying. Great drinks, and never disappointed with the food.

  • Gary W.

    I've come a couple times, normally once a year to meet my guy friends and catch up, tell stories about times past. I always enjoy the occasion as it gives me a chance to see a few of them flirting with the waitresses. Of course my guy friends always end up have a crush on the waitresses because they give them some attention. I have to remind them you're paying them with tips, so they are supposed to be nice. I've had a few drinks and they were good, no complaints. I've had the sliders and they were good to for some happy hour food.

  • Jennifer M.

    Like: NOT THE SERVICE. o.m.g. I just had a TWO HOUR LUNCH. It was ridiculous. AND it's a work day! And like most employed citizens in the general Bellevue area, I have a ONE HOUR LUNCH PERIOD. We sat in the bar area and it took about 30 minutes for them finally take our order. We had two other guests meeting us for lunch and by the time they got there it was at the 45 minute mark and they placed their orders as well. By the time it hit an hour.. we FINALLY got our food and they apologized for our lunch taking so long and blamed it on the crispy mashed potatoes. Our dishes came out with the rest of our parties dishes. I was starving at this point. This is why I am giving them ONE STAR. I've been here on numerous occasions, usually in the bar area, and another thing that I don't like is that they rip you off on the drinks. I usually order a glass of scotch on the rocks and they almost ALWAYS pretty much fill my glass up about an inch full of liquor, and that's WITH ice. It's also a bit pricier than most places, so I wouldn't come here for drinks unless you're prepared to spend lots of money NOT getting wasted. Okay, now I'll say nice things: Our food, however, was great. Whenever I go to Joey's, I order the Balsamic Braised Beef Short Ribs and I usually sub the Mashed Potatoes with the Crispy Mashed Potatoes because I absolutely love them. It's like a Mashed Potato Lumpia.. that item alone is absolute genius. We also ordered the Baja Fish Tacos. This was the first time I've ordered this dish at Joeys and I was surprisingly impressed. It was full of flavor and very delicious. The ambiance of Joey's is great. Very classy. Very trendy. Their Bar Menu always changes out with interesting graphics and sometimes helpful yet funny facts. The waitresses here are always very pretty (as most of you who've been to Joey's, you all know that they only hire beautiful women).. a big part of the reason why I seem to always dine here with male friends.. for the view. Also, they have TONS of TV's. It is TV'S GALORE in their bar area. This is a perfect environment for the average heterosexual male. Overall, I think I'd prefer to sit in the dining area, rather than the bar. I've never had a great experience sitting at the bar. Ripped off on drinks and bad service. Other than that, I'll still come here to order the Crispy Mashed Potatoes. Oh! One last thing! They used to serve this Banana Bread Pudding that was SOOOOOO delicious, and I used to come here JUST to eat that dish. They no longer serve it. Thumbs down, Joey's. :( Nijo's in Pioneer Square also has Excellent Banana Bread Pudding. That is where I go for Banana Bread Pudding now. That, and El Gaucho's.

    Pretty girls... i get it, that's how they hire the girls but can they at least test them on their waitress/bartending skils? We ordered 3 Jäger bombs and we got the Jäger in a shot glass that didn't fit into the redbull glass..... really? yeah enough said. oh and the food is not that great either.

  • Alanna M.

    Just another hip, chainy, restaurant with OK food and not so great service... at least in the bar and especially during happy hour after work. By 9 PM, most of downtown Bellevue goes dead. It's in a convenient location within walking distance from Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square. I usually get the fish tacos or chicken lettuce wrap. The food is not mind blowing amazing, but decent for bar food. They have good stiff drinks though. Joey's does have a reputation for being called "Hoey's". I swear I didn't make up the name, but that's what some people I know refer to it as.

  • Joss K.

    We stopped in here for a quick lunch since it was across from our hotel lobby, and the lunch was excellent. Sashimi salad was fresh and lightly dressed and the beach salad was incredibly filling complete with grilled chicken, avocado, and red quinoa over a bed of greens. The burger looked great, if a little over cooked--nobody asked for a cooking temperature, which is a shame at such a place. My brother and I returned for late night drinks, again due to the convenience, and the service was as excellent as at lunch. Do not, however, order the house gin with a martini--it was the worst I've ever had, and $11 at that. Spring for Tanqueray Ten--$2.50 more--or stick with hearty glass pours of Pacific Northwest wines. The Acrobat Pinot Gris was tasty.

    Last call on a busy Sat night is at 1:10!!! So much for making more money. The food is pretty good and of course the bartenders are all women that were hired on their looks. I think that's part of the the interview process. They aren't always the best though and your order will be messed up frequently.

    Ridiculous problems every time I've gone to this location. Every single time. NOT a group-friendly restaurant. I can't recall complaining publicly about another restaurant in my life, but Joeys really takes the cake. To top it off, my public complaint on Twitter/Facebook about another location was met with a threatening notice from some attorney. What sort of idiot restaurant manager threatens to sue a customer for complaining? Hence, this formal review. The food: overpriced, underwhelming. About as bland as it gets for a plate in this price range. The drinks: uninspired, and good luck getting one in under 15 minutes even when business is slow. The service: hit and miss. Mostly miss. The atmosphere: so little ambient lighting you can barely see your drink. Slightly better than a dive bar overall, especially when you take into account the poor value and much better alternatives nearby. That's just my opinion; my horrible experience may have left me a bit biased.

    Vancouver/Canada-based restaurant chain is pretty good, but I can't put more then 3 stars. However, I might come in the future and try it one more time. I think they are trying to be too flashy and focusing too much on waitress look and overall restaurant style, rather then food and prices. I tried Lobster Sandwich and did not like it. Lobster Ravioli were better. Matthews Columbia Valley Claret is 65 bones, while a suggested retail price is only $30. Purple Wine & Cafe (just few blocks away) has a better wine selection, so I would go their if I want something special.

  • Angela H.

    ... Nearly 40 minutes just to get a coffee... Had at least 5 different waitresses dropping by and none actually ever did anything... When we got to ordering food after nearly an hour and a half of waitress juggling just to get us drinks...there was some wait on members in our party, but not too much. Eventually... We were able to order.... I ordered the BBQ salmon on rice bowl... The salmon was the size of a large mcnugget and the entire dish was so saturated with soy sauce it was inedible... I ate the salmon and some of the veggies that hadn't over absorbed the soy sauce but for 16$ it was ridiculous... Especially when the menu I had, stated that the dish was 15.50...I double checked with the waitress and she brought me a different menu stating 16...I'm not that much of a penny pincher but I did suggest that she have them double check menus since I am almost 100% certain that there was a different price on the menu I ordered from. I wouldn't have even paid 5$ for a dish like that knowing how poorly it was made and the price switch there... When you have 2 cups of rice... Already having absorbed as much soy sauce as possible and there is still a quarter inch of liquid on the bottom... Way too salty for me but hey maybe others like that much soy sauce. Other dishes at our table were of the same complaint that the food was drenched in sauce that was excessive. Overall I was disappointed by the service and the food, only highlight being the company of the people who were with me.

    French Dip Sandwich is hands down my favorite. This sandwich is stacked with tender, thinly-sliced prime rib in a warm, toasty, buttery bun. It's made with prime rib that is cooked to perfection - medium rare. Super tender and flavorful. And I looooove the skinny fries that come as a side.

  • Ruben H.

    Wanted to try this place for a quick lunch and a couple beers. The inside is pretty nice and the place was pretty empty around 1pm on a Saturday. We sat at the bar and was met by a very nice but quiet bartender...typically not the best combo. I was really bummed to find out that they were all out of Stella, one of only two beers on tap....and they "didn't know" when they'd get more. It was honestly a very boring experience, though the wings is why it gets 3 stars and not 2 stars. I think I'll stick with Earls!!

    Very pricey for the very small portions. It took then 30 min to take the order. 30 more min for the food to be served. They serve food with additions that is not described in the menu. Food taste was good though

  • Sarah R.

    Overpriced! I think you're paying to eat in a yuppy environment and be served by pretty waitresses. The 2 stars are for the staff. We had about 4 different pretty girls all tending to our table at one time or another. All very attentive & friendly! Everything else was disappointing. I had a chicken sandwich and my husband had a burger. Both were just ok. The chicken sandwich was rather dry. The fries were super skinny and had zero flavor. I tried to dip them in ranch but the ranch was down right funky. I asked for BBQ and they don't have it. So I mixed soy sauce with ketchup and that helped them a little bit. I couldn't believe our bill was $50 for that meal.

    Joey's- a one time favorite of mine disappointed me tonight- let's just say I didn't "LEAVE HAPPY" like they claim. Why you may ask? Well we had our children with us this time as we were trying to grab a bite. We arrive at the hostess stand for a table and are told it's a very long wait of 45 minutes. I give them my phone number and we walk around. Oddly they had many tables open but I gave them the benefit in case I was wrong. Also interesting was that no one was in the waiting area or benches- so maybe they were all at the bar yet those same tables are sitting open well into 30 minutes of waiting? Well you may be wondering what happened next? They never called which equates to Joeys discriminates if you bring kids- so I won't be going back even though we had been lunch and date nite regulars on a weekly basis until today! Never have we been treated so rudely! We are NOT happy Joey's!

  • Yekta A.

    Service was kinda how do I say this?......crappy? If you've ever been to Cactus Club in B.C., its teh same idea....dumb hot girls, zero mentality and the food is NOT all that for the price. Save yourself the time, money and hassle and go somewhere else.

  • R H.

    Over priced drinks. For two Gin and tonics (well gin too) it was $30 with tip. I don't usually ask what the price is for a drink. I figure it might be $7.00 or so but not $15.00. I should have been alerted by the cocktail waitresses in the low cut little black dresses, none of them over the age of 30. Service was good and it has a nice TV set up to watch a game. If you hang out here and spend like this all the time, you will not be the millionaire next door someday. You will be living on social security.

  • David C.

    Save yourself some time and don't go to Joey's in Bellevue Downtown. Waitresses only care about flirting with men and don't know where their priorities really are. If their priorities are to flirt with tipsy men to get them to drink more and tip them more, they should work at a nightclub not a restaurant.

  • Vicky M.

    Joeys has always been a favorite of mine ever since the first time trying it. The atmosphere is great, the staff is amazing, the food is delicious! It's a great place to come after work for drinks or come in the evenings to just chill and have a good time with friends, especially the Bellevue location. I love their flat breads and their salads are out of this world. The drinks, are amazing and I haven't tried one thing I don't like. Their drinks happy hour/specials are also great. And don't get me started on dessert- the chocolate molten cake is a favorite as well as literally everything else on the menu! Writing about Joeys makes me hungry

  • Taylor C.

    I've never eaten here - just drinks...Great location, cool atmosphere, the service is great, prices are fair,. If you can handle all the false bravado that you surround yourself in when you go to JOEY, then this place could be do-able for you. I personally sit at the bar and watch the big screens and have a drink or two so I don't pay much attention to the other patrons, but they can be a bit much. Lots of materialism, but it is what it is.

    My friend and I came in for dinner on a Friday night, the bar area was available and no wait was needed but it was pretty loud so we decided to wait for the formal dining area. The wait was about 20 minutes even at 11pm but it made for great people watching time. I was surprised at how well people entering and leaving were dressed! We ordered the Gyoza, Better Beef Dip Sandiwch, and Mushroom soup/salad combo. I thought the Gyoza was just alright (my mom can make better, wait, no - *I* can make better). I thought the service was better than the food, our waitress was really attentive and had a great attitude.

    It's funny because I live about 2 blocks from the Seattle Joeys yet I've never been there, and have been to the Bellevue one multiple times. Joey's epitomizes yuppy. Or maybe all of Bellevue does. But if you're looking to find you some yuppy, mama can find it at Joey's! Anyway, outside of the crowd that you may or may not want to avoid, the food is delish. Ahi tuna tacos are very good (and I do not like Tuna, or fish for that matter). Burgers are good and I especially enjoy the steak fajitas. Oh and they have Hoegaarden! Yay! I get drunk off the big beers every time I go for dinner (I have a soft spot for my Hoegaarden)! No tvs in the girl's bathroom but stalls with real doors! I appreciate that Joey's, thank you. Although the automatic soap dispenser can be a little confusing after your big beer...

    Like meeting a new girlfriend's parents, first impressions are a must. (Although I am a horrible example of this). Upon reaching within 15 feet of the front door, I see through the spotless glass an attractive host preparing to open the doors for my posse. (She is attentive). We decide to squeeze into a booth for intimacy and order desserts and drinks. I had the BEST bread pudding every (banana flavored mind you), along with a "Chocolate Lava" which really did ooze of melted chocolate when you put your spoon through it, and a lemon meringue pie. The bar was uniquely decorated with booze itself. Lined with clusters of the best brands of the industry, this display was worth at least $8000. (Not a customary decision in most bars since these displays are usually not sold unless absolutely necessary). Service was superb and very friendly. The entire staff was well trained, disciplined, very attractive, attentive, and you can tell that they truly enjoyed their time there. Joey definitely knows his Joey's and what he's doing. Well done! I will return on my next visit to Bellevue.

    Joey's sits on the corner of Bellevue Way right by the Hilton Hotel. I am a huge fan of Happy Hour and Late Night but have to admit the dinner was poor. The drink list will make your head spin and each night they promote a Happy Hour Special, from beer to one of their signature drinks. They have amazing appetizers like Ahi Tuna Tacos (oh, oh, oh my god) Sliders and Gyoza. We ended up moving into the dining room for dinner but were extremely disappointed. I had the Lobster Ravioli that was just OK, a friend had what the waiter suggested was his favorite (Basa) and he took one bite and didn't touch the rest. What we did appreciate is that the manager took this item off our bill- good service if you ask me. Don't forget to order the Banana Chocolate Bread Pudding- eggggselent!

    I love Joey's for casual dining but I just don't like this particular location. It full of youngster who try to be play high end too hard. =) The service and decor is no where near the quality I came to expect from Joey's in Seattle! The food doesn't taste as good, the atmosphere doesn't line up, nor is the service anywhere close to what you would've expected if you ever dined in the Seattle location. However it is good here during lunch hour if you work in downtown Bellevue. Not too pricey and you get your meal quickly. I miss the Cucina Cucina that it took the place of.

    I was forced to enter the dreaded east-side, that mecca of SUV and mini-mall worship, that capital of right-turns only... Bellevue. When I die a naughty unsaved sinner, I will be sent to Hellevue. After my business was conducted I decided to lunch at Joey's. I've heard the same as other reviewers -- raves about how hot the waitresses are at Joey's, how good the food is, blah, blah and more blah. Seriously, when I want to look at hot girls I'll go to a strip club. When I go to eat, I'd like to eat. Eye candy is nice, but really I just want to put food in my face and get on with my life. Three things Joey's didn't have going for it: 1) the Mac and Jack's keg wasn't working, and it took them a really long time to finally determine that yes it wasn't working and what other type of beer would I like to substitute instead? I mean... I didn't have a drink (water or anything) until my meal came basically. 2) It took WAY too fucking long to get me a simple Chicken Caesar. Though it was tasty, it's also pretty hard to screw up a Chicken Caesar. The chicken was ok, grilled. Small little slivers though, especially for $11 or $14 or whatever it was. For that price, I would expect some fricken nuggets or something. 3) To be honest, my waitress wasn't really all that hot, and for something that this place is "known for" that's kinda disappointing. I'm glad I remembered to bring a newspaper.

    Not a fan of the remodel or new menu. Ordered apple dessert item and it took a very considerable time to come out. Looked and tasted good. Some apples just right and some not done enough. Got to center and discovered a carbonized apple buried in there. Asked for a manager from a passing waitress. They never appeared. Our waitress did remove the dessert from my bill at my request. The bacon cheeseburger was so so. Overall they have slipped I thought.

  • Griffin G.

    The drinks at this Joey's are good but the service sucks! The rumor is true that they try to hire based on looks and nothing else. Most of these girls are young and dumb. They only really "work" for the tables that are filled with guys because they will tip better. They could care less about doing a good job with female diners. Do not expect to get your food or drinks in a timely manor either. I don't know what it is about this place, but you would think after the two plus years that they have been open that they would figure out that people don't like having to wait 30-45 minutes to get their food or drinks. If a brown haired alternative looking woman named Stephanie fakely greets you at your table... ask for a different server or to be seated in a different section. She must hate her job and is rude, rude, rude. When one of my friends joined us at the table and asked for a water and some food she told her that we were already a pain-in-the-ass so it didn't matter what she ordered or divided the tab. Very disapointing, yet not surprising!

    Had a nice business dinner here. It's apparently the place to come for guys on business, thanks to the extremely attractive waitresses. Strangely, half our party knew all their names, and they remembered our party, which means that someone has made a lot of meals here, and I can totally see why. First, we ordered a bunch of different stuff, so I'll try to review what I tasted. Drinks: Nice selection of drinks, and my glass was never empty for very long. The girls look good, but they also busted their ass and were witty as hell. Wait Staff: Great waitress banter, which I love. Look, I know you're working for tips, so I won't take it as a sign that you like me, just throw me a little flirting. They did that, and then some. Appetizers: We had the wings, which I'm pretty sure came off a quail or a dove. They were the smallest chicken wings I've ever seen. I love wings, but I probably wouldn't order those again. The nachos were good, but nothing to write home about. The Blue Cheese Fries were ridiculous, and between that and the beers I had to set my alarm for 5:45 to work out before the meetings. Food: I got the Basa, so did my boss. It was good, pretty standard chain store seafood, nicely blackened. It was moist, th cut was good, overall I really enjoyed it. The rest of the table liked their food too, although I don't think anyone was raving about it. Overall, it's a great place to come when you're staying at one of the many hotels in the area on business. Get there early and get a seat in the bar section (where the flirting really gets poured on).

    When Joey's opened up for the first time, their service was good and food came out hot. The past few times I have been there my food came out cold. I'm not sure what it is but I expect my dish to be hot when I eat at a restaurant . Besides being served cold plates, their ahi tuna tacos are a must!

    Bestie was in town and staying next door so I went twice in a couple days. The first time I had a Hoegarden.... bill came and it was $9. ummm... Take 2: Second time I had a race the next day so no booze. Just had a soda water, as in OUT OF A GUN... $3. Ok Everyone at the table but me got food and multiple bevies. When she fsaid she forgot to put my water on the bill and took it back I laughed. I thought she was joking. Nope. Service was great the first time, meh the second. It took about 30 min to get our check. ugh.

    Fish tacos are great and the pom mojito is quite good! This place is run by blond bombshells but the scene is certianly a sausage fest. Damn good tacos :D

    So i've eaten here twice this week alone, and neither occasion was by choice but rather by invitation. Lunch last week was interesting, I ordered the steak lunch and asked for asparagus to substitute the deep fried potato spring rolls they serve (that do look dangerously delicious). The first steak turned up overcooked so I sent it back but instead of bringing me a whole new dish they just took the steak away and left me to eat my asparagus and salad while they knocked up a new steak. By the time the new one arrived I'd eaten my salad and veggies and had to eat the steak solo. I have to say though that once they correctly cooked it the steak was marvellous! My second visit was for dinner so I had some cocktails to go with my steak & lobster dinner. Perhaps I should have taken heed from my lunchtime experience and ordered something that didn't require a degree of finesse in the timing from the grill chef for once again my steak turned up overcooked. I was so damn hungry this time that I just shut up and ate it and the steak was medium and was quite tough and rubbery. The lobster was tender but ultimately tasteless. On both occasions my asparagus was not trimmed correctly and the woody stems were left on. Yuck. And they are mean with their measures in the cocktails. If I wanted mean portions I'd have never left the UK and found their moral majority measures mealy mouthed in the extreme. I just knocked a star off for them trying to sober me up, damn them.

    This place is YUPy. Bellevue YUPy. Its a bar, its a lounge, its a restaurant, its all kinda not fully one or the other, and its not cheap but not super pricey. Business Casual - seems to be the best way to sum it up. The food is good but not outstanding, the service is decent but nothing memorable, the prices range from 15-30 per person (just for food). One good thing is the open seating area was fairly larger than most other places in bellevue, apx 20-25 "tables". Its a good place to go with the friends if there's no where else to go. Its busy on the weekends.... the place for YUPys.

    Good place to hang out probably just for drinks. I think their drinks are pretty reasonably priced. Not too bad. Good service by good looking servers! I havent had a bad experience so far. ^_^d OH and the chocolate pudding is a must to try!!

    This place is just ok...but I'd watch your wine glasses...I was drinking mine and the glass just broke. I swear when I told the waitress she went back and just dumped my wine in a new glass...I'm not that high maintenance, but I was expecting a new glass of wine. Who knows there could have been slivers of glass in there!! They do have a great selection of drinks and the people watching is good too.

    I've been to Joey's before the reason Im writing now is because they just updated there menu and OMG its great!!! my friend and I went there for a little munch after a day for shopping at bel sq. My personal weakness is Nachos!! Boy do they deliver. Its a must order!!! Grande Nacho's. My drink of choice to compliement such a great dish, is a hefwiezen with an orange slice!!!! This is one of the best summer dishes.

    FOOD: Good. My wife and I both had the Cranberry Almond encrusted salmon. The fish itself was very moist, and had very good flavor. It was advertised on the menu with "smashed potatoes", but came with a weird sort of deep-fried, spring roll mashed potato thing. Granted, they were good....just wasn't what I was expecting. If you're looking for good food, Joey's is a good choice. PRICE: Very reasonable. It was one of the reasons we hit Joey up. We were considering Daniel's, but just didn't feel like spending the money. Joey is a good alternative for a lower cost, but still good food. SERVICE: Well, this was the weird part. The servers and hostess were most certainly friendly and pleasant, but I'm pretty certain it was the server's first day. I asked for a gin and tonic and was brought straight gin on the rocks, one of our guests ordered three different whiskeys, all fairly well known, before finally giving up and ordering a gin and tonic (also brought out as straight gin), I asked for a port menu and got a weird look, so I just said "dessert wine". She came back with the normal wine list and said "this is the only dessert wine we have", pointing to a riesling. Assuming it must have been a late-harvest riesling, we went with that. Nope...just a white wine. With all of that said, it was clear to us that this girl was just in over her head. She was sweet, and thanked us for our patience with her...but I was just a bit shocked that a restaurant would let someone out on the floor, even on their first day, by themselves, not even knowing what port was, not knowing what a gin and tonic looked like, and not knowing the difference between white wine and dessert wine. We didn't leave being angry about the service....we just left a tad disappointed in it (we were there with a friend we hadn't seen in years, so the service really didn't dampen our experience...we wouldn't let it). All in all, I think we'll go back to Joey just to see what it's like when we're served by an experienced server. The food is good, the atmosphere is lovely. If the service is as good as it should be for a restaurant in Downtown Bellevue, Joey will be a great place to go.

    Great atmosphere here: Younger crowd, modern, busy. Great bar for drinks and socializing. Service was decent. As far as the food goes: overpriced for what you get. We had the Concut Curry Shrimp which was great and then the Shrimp and Halibut Spaghetti. Unfortunately, the fish was so dry and the portion was tiny. Maybe a cup of spaghetti noodles at most- which they could add to and I would've been full but instead was still hungry after eating. Go here for a great classy bar atmosphere and to have drinks with friends but pass on the dinner....

  • Keith B.

    Went to lunch with a co-worker here and left feeling like we over paid for our meals. I had the french dip and it tasted like something I would get at Denny's but paid double the cost. Honestly, if you enjoy bland food that puts a decent dent in your wallet, come to Joey's.....

  • Denise E.

    Ok, I'm biased because I work for the company. But I was a customer at one time and went to work there because I loved it. After working there for a year and half I still love it. I love to discover new restaurants, but whenever I go to a different restaurant within the price range and genre of Joey's, I am always find myself thinking "I should have just gone to Joey's." Something I always hear people say is "after working in a restaurant I don't like to eat out...after seeing what they do in the kitchen..." Not like that at Joey's! What you don't see as a customer is immaculate! When I hear people make those "after working in a restaurant..." comments I'm like "really?" Joeys has an open kitchen and customers are always invited to go back there for a kitchen tour, if you are ever curious. Yeah, we aren't perfect and there are stories about people's negative experiences floating around but we serve ALOT of people and there are bound to be a few slip ups, but we make sure they are happy when they leave. We will do whatever it takes to make it right (if you speak up, politely please, about something that is wrong). I have no respect for haters who post negative reviews when they said everything was fine when they were visiting the restaurant. The response I most often hear is the food is "actually good." It is! And a great value! Few people know that everything is made fresh to order. Desserts-baked when you order them. The hamburger buns aren't even fully cooked until you order your burger. dressing, condiments, sauces...everything is made in our kitchen. Makes it easy to customize your order. They will make anything for you if they have the ingredients for it. They can cater to many allergies and dietary needs because of this. When you order a salad, the lettuce was in the field no more than two days ago! So, the prices are also "actually good," because the freshness of the ingredients makes it a good value. The drink prices aren't bad either when you consider all of our house drinks are doubles! I have never seen our wines cheaper at another restaurant. If you go there and are not 100% satisfied, find a manager and they will make it right. We have a policy that every customer leaves happy and it is much easier to fix it when they are still there, then to read about it on here later.

    What I like from this place is the service, always right and friendly! The bar is very nice for an afterhours drinks with friends and co-workers, it has the perfect mix between a sport bar and a casual bar. Drinks are very good and the food is okay.

  • Katie K.

    I really like the food and atmosphere here but unfortunately every time I come to Joey's the waitresses are incredibly too chatty. If I came alone that would be one thing, but I always have at least one other person with me and I hate to say it but I came to talk with the person I came with not the waitress. Also the last time I was at Joey's our waitress lost our entire order so we waited about 40 minutes to have salads. One good thing was that the management comped our meals. One last thing that I don't like about Joey's is that they just raised their prices. Boo on Joey's.

  • Vonnie S.

    I was in town on business and was taken to Joey's by a co-worker. My first impression was that it was interesting to see that all of the wait-staff looked like models. Wondered how they did from an HR perspective =) My second observation was this place must be one of the "it" spots for the crowd post-work in the Downtown Bellevue area. It was very crowded but luckily, we were able to score a table for 3 in the bar area. Stayed away from the dinner menu and I was a little surprised that the App's didn't offer a great variety. We had the Gyoza, Sweet Potato Fries, Shrimp Lettuce Wraps and Wings. Everything was delicious to my surprise! I also had two Strawberry Lemonade Martini's. The drink was fabulous and I would have had a 3rd if I didn't have meetings the next day. The only downside was that there is so much sugar on the rim, it leaves your hands sticky. Our waitress was on top of everything and was very quick and attentive. She also provided me with a small bowl of warm water and lemon to dip and clean my sticky hands. I would definitely go back but know to plan ahead as the crowd was a little too much at one point. One downside as mentioned by another reviewer was the fact that it is SOO loud in there, you can barely hear the person you are sitting right next too.

    Joey's is apparently the only "happening" spot in Bellevue on a weekend night. Yes yes, the people here, including the staff, are mostly good looking and well-dressed. But there's always a couple skanks and trolls to mix it up a bit. The cocktails are strong and the service was pretty attentive, sitting at the bar. Regrettably, we did manage to get hit on by two random douche bags, who were quickly shooed away. Highlights of the evening included: a C list celebrity sighting (from Judging Amy) and a lone breast hanging out of some drunk ho's halter dress. I briefly considered asking her to expose the OTHER breast, just for symmetry's sake, but then thought better of it. Their blue cheese fries are TO DIE FOR and I don't even like potatoes. The Bombay Butter Chicken, which was short on the chicken and long on the weird veggies (bok choy?), was just mediocre. Overall, not a bad choice if you're hell bent on doing the east side thing.

    Staying on Business at the Hyatt and needed some food pronto! The bell captain pointed across the street and that was about the right distance for me. No expectations about the place and I sat in the bar. Good music and waitress staff is straight out of Vogue Magazine. Yes, it must be where models in training work before they go on a photo shoot. So, after that pleasant distraction, I ordered the $15.00 Burger and fries. Its a bit expensive but what are expense accounts for? -- wow the best burger (really) that I have ever had in my life. Fresh everything and fries were just as good -- washed it down with a nice local porter beer.. perfect. Will definitely be back. Come for models - stay for food. (I copyrighted that phrase Joeys, you can pay me in food).

    I love Joey's! Our server Talia was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was our first time at Joey's so we had the Ahi taco's and they are delicious. The Almond cranberry salmon was to die for. I wish I lived closer. I can't wait to go back.

    Spent a week in Bellevue on business. This place was my saving grace. I really enjoyed the vibe, bartenders, food, etc. My favorite, as other yelpers have commented on and brought me to this place, was the outdoor seating area. They had a great acoustic band playing one night in August that really made the evening. Great wine selection and healthy options for food. I enjoyed the sushi and wine selection. I really can't say anything negative about this establishment except you need to walk into the restaurant and your name in with the hostess for an outdoor table. That part was a little confusing as it was a bit far removed from the dining establishment. Other than that... enjoy the outdoor patio while you can !!

    Our party was so insulted. The waitress was new so we don't blame anything on her. We got accused for something that we didn't do. It was an other customer upset that someone from our group asked what kind of fur the tacky jacket was made out of. She proceeded to say stuff that she couldn't possibly know. Then the manager told us they saw her which they obviously didn't because it didn't happen She then kicked out someone from our party. The fur lady then went out side and proceeded to harass the people who went out side. The managers did nothing for them even though it was right outside their door. I have never been so insulted. Then to make matters worse they got the checks messed up and my card got charged 41 instead of 21. It was someone else's bill in the party but we were so angry we didn't want to wait an other hour to get it paid. By that time they had our cards for 20 minutes. I will never go there nor recommend it for anyone.

    This place is lame. It's overpriced and the food is only mediocre. And the dessert menu is frickin' anemic. The only thing that saves Joey's from a one-star rating is the attentive service. I know the big draw for this place is the good-looking waitresses (and guys: tons of makeup and low necklines really shouldn't be your litmus test for "hot"). But the servers are actually very nice, too. Helpful. Friendly. It's just unfortunate that they're schlepping crappy food. My ahi tuna salad -- which I've had twice -- was laden with gloppy dressing. The quesadillas -- which I've had once -- were greasy. I could have been eating something from Taco Bell. The drinks are unbelievably overpriced. Bellevue sorely, sorely needs better food. If Joey's is as good as it gets, I'll eat a sandwich on the sidewalk.

  • Sarcastic T.

    I was prepared to hate this place. It was loud and looked a bit pretentious. However, it was after midnight and if we had just gotten into town and really wanted a quick snack and drink. So. . .we wandered in. The cocktail waitress working our table was fantastic! Even though we were in the bar, she brought everything we needed to eat, checked on us often, refilled drinks quickly and was just super and efficient. The cocktail list was a little hokey, but the drinks we did get were good (and strong). The food was even good. Happiness!

    Left after 10 minutes - no service. I'm white & 46, and my friend is Asian, but we felt like two black men in a Denny's. Very insulting. I don't know if Joey's doesn't like people over 30 or if they just have incredibly bad service, but you can believe I won't be going back.

    I took my wife here for our 10th anniversary about a month or so ago (yes, I do know the exact date ... ) It is absolutely a Bellevue kind of place - lots of young, upper crust types running about the bar and the restaurant. For the wait staff, clearly looks are a prerequisite as they were all nice looking (and it was my wife, not me, that first pointed this out). The steak was excellent, the atmosphere and location were excellent. The patio was wonderful. Granted I probably would not go here on a regular basis due to the price, but for a special occasion, or if you are on an expense account, Joey's is an excellent choice.

    I've been to this restaurant twice..once to the bar, once for lunch. I give four stars both times. Bar experience: We went there on a warm spring night. The temperature in the bar was over 90 degrees!!! Beads of sweat flavored my martini. They finally turned the AC on after a half an hour or so and after many compliants. The waitresses are good looking. It reminds me of a classy/high-end Hooters (not that I've been to a Hooters before). The martinis were innovative and yummy. The seating arrangements were a bit weird, all oriented towards the bar. I felt like I was being watched the whole time by the people behind me. Lunch experience: I visited this restaurant again on a warm summer day. I encountered the central air problem again. The restaurant was stuffy, and the air felt stagnant. They quickly corrected it after my complaint. I had veggie/chow mein stir fry wrapped in veggie. The sauce was a bit heavy and oily, but overall, it was a pleasant and tasty experience.

  • Shaunna R.

    Call me lame, but I love this place. Whenever my girlfriends and I want to catch some dinner after work we always head here. It has never let us down like many other hot-spots in Bellevue have. All the other reviews talk about the servers being cute, young, girls...WHO CARES...get over it. They're trying to make some money too. I think giving a restaurant a bad review because you're insecure with yourself is a BAD idea. :) And the service has been great everytime I've come here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i don't think Joey's is the first to hire only attractive people...it's not a new concept. The food is great, my favorite is the viva salad, yumm...my mouth is watering just thinking about it. :] I don't drink, so I can't say much about the cocktails, but my girls love them...!

    I've got to admit, I liked our trip to Joeys! I was expecting to be intimidated by all of these "hotties" I keep hearing about - but I wasnt, infact, I didnt see any " total knock out servers" like mentioned... Good looking folks from the city and all around. Great set-up of the restaurant, and I must admit, I love the bathrooms - the ladies room was totally glamourous! The food and drinks were excellent as well, and I felt they were priced right! Great place for singles or couples - we double dated with our "best man" and his wife! A great dining experience!

    I stayed at the Hyatt Regency and ended up eating two meals here, mainly because I was too lazy to cross the street. The interior of the place, decor, lighting design, etc... all very modern and cool. For dinner I had a burger that was dry... well the meat was, the bun was greasy. Not super impressed but it was tolerable. The service was alright. The second meal was the next day at lunch. I had a lunch portion rotisserie chicken that wasn't too bad, but also not super exciting. One thing I noticed that I found annoying was that all of the waitresses in the bars were wearing high heels , short skirts, and low cut tops. What is this an upscale hooters? Not only were the outfits questionable, all of the young attractive women working their asses off in their high heels serving the nearly all male clientele were followed around by this sleazy looking manager who basically did nothing while the girls worked. I mean the guy didn't take food out, didn't clear tables, I really don't know what he did. I didn't notice any of this the prior evening and for some reason it really bothered me.

    I come here numerous times, all the time, to just have some drink and nice little tasty appetizers. i tried spaghetti but...i wouldn't recommend you. steak's okay but the portion's maybe a bit small for the dinner. just go to outback if you want steak. SO, I came up with this great plan for whenever i go to joey's. get any salad from evil jungle, ahi tuna, viva. oh i must get ahi tuna taco. it's just a must order kinda thing for me. get french fries with blue cheese. and for the last but not the least, a baked apple pie with one ice cream scoop on top! that should do it. oh, feel free to add your favorite drink. they have nice cocktails!

  • Julia M.

    Now, I'm usually not one to complain about the service in a restaurant, because I used to be a waitress and I understand how crazy things can get. But this took a ridiculously long time. Also, to put it gently, I don't think our waiter was all that bright. He seemed to forget just about everything I asked for, and each step of the dining process seemed to take way too long (ex. 20 minutes from asking for the bill to getting the bill). Again, I used to be a waitress and I am very forgiving if the waiter has 8 tables and is completely frazzled, but this was not the case. The food was decent, but you can pay a lot less for something better.

    Hibachi wings and gorgonzola bread are worth the flight back to Seattle right now! I've heard lovely things about the ahi tuna fish tacos...and, pretty much any one of their creative dishes and salads are great! I'd say this is a good date night spot or would make a great girl's night out. If you like simple food done well and a nice atmosphere, Joey's is the spot. The Bellevue location has a really nice lounge-esque vibe IMO.

    I really like this place. It's great for groups, great for happy hour, great menu. It don't have Tastycake Lemon pies and vanilla ice cream, but it's still good. Bunch of friends got together and had a bit of everything. Hibachi chicken wings (okay), Ahi tuna burger (wow =D), their blue cheese fries were different other places, wasn't just no damn sprinkling of cheese crumbles, and it just gets better and better with alcohol. Service was great.

    This place is sooooo Bellevue!! The bar was hopping with "good looking" people with designer jeans and killer smiles. The dinning room was dimly lit and had a good ambiance. The main dining area was filled with comfy high back leather chairs. However, it was a tight squeeze to get around the other tables. Good thing everyone here was in shape. The wait staff was very attractive, young, and friendly. They looked like they could also be working at Abercrombie and Fitch. Our waitress was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. The service was sometimes on the slower side. The food was good, my fav was the Ahi Tuna Tacos. Lightly seared ahi with crispy wonton shells, topped with a creamy wasabi sauce. It was tender, crunchy, and delish!!

    I think Joey's is pretty good. We have gone there probably about 10 times and every time has been on weekend afternoons for lunch. Around that time it's fairly quiet and it's never crowded. Overall we've been happy with the food. Some good choices have been the Lunch Salmon and the Chicken Souvlaki. A couple things we've noticed have been that we always have to wait to be seated even if the place is almost empty, and the soup of the day is good, unfortunately it's always either butternut squash or split pea - not much variety there for a daily special. The atmosphere seems a little pretentious and the servers all look like models. We're just looking for good food and that's what we've found so far so we keep going back.

  • Andrew E.

    Let's state the obvious and as yet avoided: this place is a classy Hooter's. You're not there for the food, which is slightly better than Red Robin, you're there for the scene. How they've convinced female diners that this place is also for them is beyond me, but well done to the master-mind behind that scheme. Honestly, the scores of middle aged business men ogling the barely legal waitresses creeps me out. Joey's eeks out 3 stars because it unabashedly fills a niche in this restaurant vacuum known as Bellevue. Or maybe I'm just bitter that my buddy and I got the only male server in the restaurant.

  • Eva G.

    If you're ever looking to be amazed by a wine rack the size of a library book case, this is the place. One wall of the dining room is dedicated to a celling to floor wine rack that expands by multiple doors. The staff is attentive and not pushy and very eager to make your wish come true. The ambiance is suited for Bellevue - as is the one in Seattle. Food is average but the cocktails are what make you want to come for 2nds...a must have is the Pomegranate Mojito.

  • Wei T.

    We went there for a late night drink after I learned that safeways don't sell hard alcohol in washington. (WTF!?) I like this place a lot. It looks great with the lighted bar and (huge amount of) fancy alcohol bottles. It also feels more chill than some of the other upscale bars I've been to. The pomegranate mojito is awesome and it has just the right amount of alcohol for a double shot. The strawberry lemon drop also tastes very good as they didn't just use strawberry syrup, you can taste pieces of real strawberries. It also has a collection of good appetizers. We ordered the Sushi taco (which was very creative, but not sure about how I should eat them), and crab/spinach dip (good flavor, but chips are a little big soggy that night). I would have given this place 5 stars if the waitress had been more attentive. But I would definitely go back next time I come to the Seattle area.

    I have been here twice, once in the dining room with a male friend for dinner, and once with two of my girlfriends in the lounge, for a going away nosh fest. The only reason I'm not giving this place five stars is because it doesn't have the waterfrong views of the Seattle location. The food and the drinks are out of this world, and the service is excellent. Everyone, from the moment they open the doors for you to the moment you leave, is there to make sure that your experience is a positive one. What can I say, I like a stiff drink and this place delivers. I've tasted the lemon quencher as well as the watermelon drop martini, and these are AMAZING!!! They're strong, but not too strong, and make sure to check out their bar menu for their seven days of drinking. Every day of the week they have a different cocktail as a special. The food is really, really good for the price that you pay. The first time I came here I got the baja tacos and they were absolutely delish! The fish was fried perfectly, not too greasy and not overcooked, and the filling as well as the sauce added an overall wonderful taste pleasing to my buds. The second time I had the chicken quesadilla. YUM!!! The pesto complemented the seasoned chicken beautifully, and the amount of cheese was perfect. The dipping sauces were not too oily, overall an amazing choice of food. Joey's is a scene place, but it IS Bellevue. The food and the drinks are great and it's a wonderful place to unwind with your friends after putting in the 8 hours working for the man.

    I went to Joey's with Sarah yesterday, then I went again today. It is a bit pricey for lunch (mostly ~$15), but the wait staff is quite good (they comped Sarah her pomegranate mojito cause Sarah thought it was just OK) and the food is tastey, plus it's close to everything in downtown. It's kiddy-corner from Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square where Cucina used to be. I also noticed the strange leather seats when I sat inside. They are like some sort of weird suede material. It was actually a little uncomfortable to me. I'm usually cold, but I was slightly overheated on these seats. The decor is nice - generic - dark woods and dark smoked glass with hanging pendant lights. I liked the bathroom sink though, it was a really shallow trough. It is not generic, but tasteful and interesting. Plus it was way clean for a men's room. I also sat outside at in the courtyard in front of the Hyatt. It's walled by towers on all sides, so it's quiet even though it's right there in the middle of the busiest intersection in Bellevue. Also, somehow the sun hits the tables, which was nice too. I had the rotisserie chicken first. It was very very good for chicken. It had a nice demi glace or thick stock sauce with lots of thyme and a hint of rosemary. It was perfectly cooked and the extra sauce was good for soaking up with the mound of shoestring fries (that were not too crisp for once). I also liked the slaw. It's not for everyone. It has a pretty strong horseradish kick to it, but like Sarah said, it's really good for slaw. It was also unusually crisp, not sopping, limp, and dripping with mayo. Today, I had a roasted chicken, pesto, goat cheese, and red pepper quesadilla. It was as good as quesadilla gets. The edges were pleasantly crisp, the center was gooey and had just the right amount of pesto. They also serve fries with it, which didn't really work for me. I would have liked something that was not starch. Finally, I'd like to mention the beer. They have a "proprietary" beer that Pyramid makes. I got the Honey Lager both days. It's mild and refreshing, with a good honey finish. Actually the best Pyramid beer I've had.

    It looks a little more Ritzy than I usually enjoy for lunch, but the food was worth the price. Don't try to slide into that booth though! It's not the standard slick fabric. We went here for lunch yesterday. 3 of us had the rotisserie chicken, one got the lunch steak. We were all pleasantly surprised by the flavorful glaze on the chicken, and yet it was the coleslaw which really stood out. Not too saucy with a hint of something very interesting, and the cabbage (et al) was very crisp and fresh. The service was also great, our waitress was very helpful and accomodating to our requests.

    Fun atmosphere, good food. We were seated right away, and service was prompt. The menu offers a broad selection of food and drink. Prices are a bit high for the quality of the food, but the decor of the restaurant makes it worth the price. Definitely a fun place to go!

    Joey's is a great place for lunch and dinner. The food is usually very good. Their fish tacos are fantastic, their Caesar Salad is decent, their fries are incredible - you cannot stop eating them. Stay away from their beef dip - one of the worst I have had. I have tried it twice since "I could not believe that they could screw something that simple up and the first one must have been a mistake!" - I was wrong and the second one last week was even worse. I should have sent them back but didn't - won't order that again. Staff is great - friendly, gorgeous, young... If you are young and beautiful, this is the place for you to go. If you are in your forties, like I am, this is the place to go to see the young and the beautiful. But like the sign at the zoo reads, "Do not feed the animals", just look, don't try to impress them with your gold card and rolex - that is what they see all day long there. Just behave yourself. Drinks are stiff - so have the limo waiting for you to take you home. cheers...Steve

    I just cannot get enough of Joeys. It's like seeing an old friend. Except he's always unavailable, extremely particular, and gay. There's something extremely charming about seeing and being seen. It's always nice when the waitress notices the big rock I sport as well. Nothing like fake sincerity. Tasty drinks, beautiful people....what more could you want? Bring your attitude, and don't wear your flip flops!

    This place has the hottest servers in the whole Seattle area! If you are looking for the beautiful people on the eastside, this is where you will find them. Makes me wish I was single. The food is reliable and drinks are well poured. This place is like Hooters gone upscale and on steroids!

  • Dan W.

    Ah Joey's, how I love thee. For friends out of town, Joey's is always in the mix somehow. The bar seems like it's always packed every night of the week, yet somehow we always are able to squeeze in somewhere. Dinner the last time out though didn't hit a home run like in the past... or maybe we weren't intoxicated enough. Anyways, if you had a choice, the Seattle/Lake Union Joey's is a better bet... the people seem a little less fake if that was possible in Joey's. But if you are needing liquid happiness and you are in downtown Bellevue, this place will do fine, just fine.

    Wow, so this is where all the beautiful people in Bellevue have been hiding! Everytime I come to Seattle/bellvue I'm always amazed at the hot girls with homely looking guys. It does make it easier for a stylish bay boy to score, err I mean meet people, so I'm not complaining. However, at Joey's I felt like I was back in San Francisco. The waitresses are hotties and the service is impeccable. There is even a good ratio of girl/guys and everyone seemed friendly. Joey's stood out as the highlight of my trip... in fact the overall highlight of all my trips to Bellevue.

    edit_ pretty place with pretty waitstaff. food, meh. nothing to write home about. maybe their bar is more bangin with cool drinks and such. ================================================== Me&sister: "Is it possible to get regular spaghetti for this (w/e we ordered) instead of the linguini?" the waitress: "Umm.. linguini is like spaghetti. like.. it's just like pasta" us: ".. yeah but is it possible to get just like.. spaghetti .. not linguini.." the waitress: "you can just get like.. spaghetti with bruschetta on top! that's really good!" me: (shakes head) "nvm it's fine. can we just get the ___(whatever we ordered)?" other than the blatant lack of... okay I won't be too mean. She really was nice and attentive. maybe a little TOO attentive. but it's always better to be nice than bitchy right? the ahi tuna tacos are sOOO good!! evil jungle salad. AMAZING! and the pasta that we ordered.. I forget the name of it. some kind of spicy pesto pasta. uh.. yeah.. I don't really recommend it. The waitress told us that she hasn't really gotten too many positive feedbacks on it, but I thought it might come out and surprise me.. Boy was I wrong. I ended up eating only a third of it and making an artwork on the plate with the raisins and pine nuts in it. Other than that the place is pretty -- I've yet to try their steaks.. but I will sometime soon I hope!!!

    When my bf and I visited Seattle, we had dinner with his friend at Joey's. Bellevue is a swanky suburb of Seattle. The interior of Joey's is really nice and upscale, but also pretty casual. You have the choice of sitting in the bar area (which is right next to the entrance and is first-come, first -serve), at a table inside, or at a lounge-y table outside. We wanted to sit at the bar area so that we could watch some of the games that they were playing on the flat screens, but there was only a table for 2 open and there were 3 of us. So we opted for a table inside and were seated right away. We ordered the ahi tuna tacos and and the chicken wings. The ahi tuna tacos were amazing! I ordered some shrimp and rice dish which was nothing to write home about....but I did get to try some of the crunchy mashed potatoes and those were sooo good! It's like an eggroll filled with mashed potatoes..genius!

    I'm a fan of one of their drinks, the Super Sonic Gin & Tonic. Prices are on the higher end and it's mostly for the image rather than the food or drink. All that aside it's a decent place to drink and chat.

    If I was looking to meet guys and pretend there isn't this thing called the Seattle Freeze, I'd doll myself up to the max and hang out at this place. It's always packed with tons of single male working in the high tech field. The only caveat is I'd have to compete with the very attractive and friendly female waitresses. It's loud but the food's good. Not a bad place to grab a drink with some friends after work. Get there early so you don't have to wait for a table.

    Great place to eat if you're near Bellevue on business. Lots of TVs and other sights to see. The food is pretty decent, but the Stella on tap is great. The social scene is pretty crazy and the people watching is fun if you're alone on your business trip.

    i haven't been rolling in bellevue for very long but my impression is that it isn't the hippest place to be in the seattle area. that being said..if you happen to be stuck in bellevue...joey's is probably the "hippest" place to be seen. by "hip" i mean...you are sure to see a crowd of people here. they are probably a bit overdressed and maybe a bit pretentious. they probably care about what kind of car you drive...and they probably have consumed at least one latte from starbucks in the last 24 hrs. joey's is an upscale dining and drinking establishment. it is part of a regional chain extending up into canadia. i was bitterly disappointed by their beer selection. w/ so many wonderful local microbrews i just couldn't fathom the dearth of selection they had. the waitstaff was accommodating and nice. the food was average. just b/c this is one of the only places to hang out for a beer in bellevue will not make me give it more than two stars. mediocre is mediocre no matter where it is.

    Have gone here a few times. Food is good but not amazing and is pretty expensive for what you get. There are much better places in bellevue to eat than paying $30 for an ok steak at Joeys.

  • Donald B.

    This is Trout (male cougar) central. Full of 30-50 year old men hoping to score a younger lady, preferably one of the stick thin bar tenders. Problem with that is the place is maybe 75% guys, 25% women. Not exactly a balanced crowd. Drinks are ok (much better than the Parlor across the street) but not great. Food is OK too. Next time I might try their happy hour, probably better value. Great place for a group of ladies to go, if you want to milk the guys for free drinks, or want to catch that $ secure tech worker (married or not :-)

    I have been to this Joey's a few times, sat in the bar area, and had nothing but great service and food (would warrant, dare I say... 4-5 stars). But after last night, I have to whittle that WAY down. I met two friends for dinner and we decided to sit in the dining room area which was for all intents and purposes pretty empty. So with that you expect, great service? Um NO. We ordered an appetizer, which we finished, and she cleared our table, and never took our dinner order. She took orders of the table by us (which was a larger table... so maybe to her more tipworthy?)and seriously by the time she came it had been so long, we almost didn't realize we hadn't ordered! The food was fine, and we got dessert too, which was obviously finished, and woosh... she was MIA again. She then came back and smelled like an ash tray. Her service, or should I say, lack there of, ruined the experience. I could understand if it was busy you would be a little slow, but by the time we left, three + hours later, there were two other tables in the dining room. Come on Joey's!

    We went to Joey's twice this week. This was our mistake. The first time was on Wednesday night, around 8PM. It was slow, which was nice--we didn't have to wait. Our waitress was excellent--very attentive and sweet. Perfect. She recommended the Seafood (?) Ravioli, which was OK. It was sort of mediocre pasta, oddly cooked (al dente but somehow just a bit off), in a slightly odd lemon cream sauce. I would have preferred a rosso or three cheese sauce, personally. I ate half of it and brought the rest home, but I'm 99% sure it will never get eaten. Dessert was better--the Valrhona souffle. It wasn't elegant, and it comes with a scoop of strangely ice-crystal-filled vanilla ice cream. Again, not fantastic, but not terrible. One step up from Applebee's (OK, that sounds pretty bad). My husband had a burger and fries, which looked pretty good. The fries are very thin, shoestring style, and I happily ate his leftovers on the spot. The second time was Friday night, around 7:30PM. It was busier, but we only had to wait for 10 minutes. Kudos to the hostess for being honest and accurate about the wait time--I think it was around five minutes. This time, the service was terrible. Some guy who was more focused on trimming his facial hair into a 1 cm-wide beard and goatee "thing" that looked like a coloring book-esque outline of his jawline. Not a great look. He was very inexperienced, inefficient, and useless. He said the Bombay Butter Chicken was good, so I tried it. Disaster. The chicken was dry and the curry was lava orange but lacked any discernible flavor. I wish I'd read all of the yelp reviews, because I would have known better. Yes, it was studded with green peppers. W. T. F. It was nothing like the Butter Chicken that is typically served in Indian restaurants (which I love). The pappadum was the only good part of the dish, and it probably came out of a plastic package, pre-made. The naan was basically buttered, grilled flatbread (Red Robin serves the same kind, with their salads). The "aromatic basmati rice" was almost as bad as the curry, and man, you just DO NOT F---K AROUND with rice. Do not taunt me and give me some bullshit jasmine rice with black pepper and frozen peas, topped with toasted almonds. Very, very poor form. Plain jasmine rice would have been a huge improvement. My husband ordered the baby back ribs. I detest ribs or any meat that is served on the bone (except fried chicken), so I wasn't interested...but he said they were good. Again, his dish came with those lovely fries, which I regretted not ordering. After the abysmal butter chicken, I felt that Joey's owed me a better experience, so I tried to focus on dessert. This was tough, given that there are only three desserts. This is a critical error in my opinion. I like to have at least five desserts to choose from, in any decent, semi-upscale restaurant. I didn't want to get the souffle again (half of my previous souffle was languishing in the fridge from Wednesday night). My husband wanted to try the apple pie, which looked like a galette with puff pastry crust, and apples topped with an oatmeal "crisp" type of topping. It looked fairly good. I ordered the souffle again, and it was OK, but something went wrong with the order (amateur waiter, such a rare species in Bellevue...yeah) or the kitchen screwed up, because my dessert took about 10 minutes and my husband's took 15 minutes. Great timing, guys. By that time, the restaurant had started to thin out, so they really had no excuse for poor service or long wait times. I think we'll have to go back because my husband likes the "basics" that are offered here. I'll have to find something "safe" on the menu, and I'm pretty sure that will mean that I have to order a massive serving of the bleu cheese fries and skip dessert.

    A good place to chill as the bar affords many views to people watch and poke fun at those thinking they are in Beverly Hills. Haha! The drinks and food are great too. Shared drinks with a friend here and were constantly shaking our heads to the ridiculous thinks we saw and heard. I was thoroughly entertained, and thought I was back in Troy, Michigan.

    our waitress was either tired....didnt care or was paying too hard to our conversation because when opening our bottle of wine she spilled it all over the table. and it nearly got on my bright yellow chiffon dress, and i would of knocked her out......the food was cold like it was done for awhile in the kitchen and she didnt bring it out right away...the only thing that came fast was the bread which was EXCELLENT....which was about the only thing i like besides the wine. other than that i really like the seattle one better...just another reason why i dread the EASTSIDE.

    My first visit. There's no ignoring the elephant in the room. This place is all about the eye candy. Lot's of it. Curvy, young, pretty, poured into black dresses with a healthy offering of cleavage. I say...Let the big elephant trumpet! A energetic place. Good seating (bar, lounge and dining room), large screens in the lounge (follow the game but you're not going to hear it), a generous beer and liquor selection and good food. The spicy edamame was a nice starter. I had a decent petite filet that arrived with a small portion of mashes potatoes and seasonal veggies (I would have preferred creamed spinach). When I'm back in Bellevue, I'll be at JOEY.

    I really hate to do this considering I am in the service industry as well, but good God the service here is absolutely terrible. I really do not understand how this place is still in business, it is extremely frustrating to dine here. I keep coming back for the food and location, but thats about it. 25 minutes for a vodka soda....?? The staff is very attractive and somewhat friendly but they really need to reevaluate their restaurant purpose/mission.

    Double slush Long Island iced teas!!! Went twice in three days because they were that good! Sat in the restaurant side both times and service was great. Munched on some ahi tuna tacos, good but a bit pricey. Tried the market salad which had killer presentation and taste. At the Southcenter location I've also tried the burgers. Feel like they are overpriced but delicious.

    This place is 3 stars for the food. 1 star for the quite alarmingly good looking servers they have.. I know I know.. bash on.. but seriously.. what's wrong with enjoying a meal served to you by friendly and attractive people? can't hurt right? The food is alright, the bar is better than the sit down area b/c the TVs add to the attraction. Decent happy hour, and daily specials.. but really, if you have a choice, eat at the bar, and enjoy the view... (the TVs people!)

    I NEVER had such a horrible experience in my life at a restaurant. When we got there we were thrilled, the places decor was stunning. We couldn't wait to eat. The waiter seated us in a timely matter; however we were a large group that was eating at the place for the first time. It toke a longer time than we expected to decide what we wanted to eat. We asked her several questions that she had no answer too. We asked about the happy hour she told us that it only applied if we sat in the bar. So we asked if it was enough room for all of us in the bar she told us she wasn't sure. Instead we just stood up and looked and the bar was just about empty completely empty. So we told her that we could move but then she said wait I'm not sure if there is a happy hour right now so we waited some more and she told us the happy hour was from only 6 to 7 and it only applied to wine. We decided to just stay where we were so she asked if we wanted drinks. Some ordered drinks. However, each time she asked for a drink she came back and said that they didn't have it. On the third try my friend finally got a drink. About fifteen minutes later she came and gave us water and their drinks. We finally decided what we wanted to order and after taking our orders she did not come back until thirty minutes later. It got to the point that since we had another place we were heading to, that I finally had to ask her if she knew how long the wait was going to be. She then looked at me annoyed and said that she was not the one that toke our order. She finally went back and got our food. My cousin, who was sitting next to me, ordered nachos. They were cold and the cheese was not even melted. I ordered the steak and fries. My food was so hard that I couldn't cut through it. Out of all my friends who ordered dishes only two were happy with their meals. They also happened to be the only ones who had hot food because all of the other food was cold. The waiter then rolled her eyes at me and asked if there is there something wrong with your food. I told her it just wasn't what I was expecting she then just look at me and walked away no questions at all. We did not complain to the waiter because we were still trying to catch another place open before 2:00. I asked for the check she said just one I said one thing that it was just for each of us. But it was my mistakes because she bought me the check with every ones bill on one check. So we asked her to separate our bills. At that point she did not know who had order what, so we began to explain who had what but she cut us off. She began telling my cousin that she had drinks that she never even ordered. My cousin kept trying to tell her no but, it took the person who actually ordered the drink showing her glass to convince the waitress that she didn't order drinks. She finally came back with the correct checks only to charge my cousin 101.00 dollars for nachos. She gave her memo check for 15.33 but, the receipt that showed what she charged on her card said 101.00 dollars. Everybody makes mistakes no one's perfect but, the problem was she never came back to fix it. We waited around for 10 more minutes for her to fix the problem. She acted like she didn't hear me to the point where I had to raise my voice 3 times for her to turn around even though we were less than 2 feet away. I asked for a manger because I could not take the bad service any more. She told me that the manger was not there. Then I told her that was fine that I would just call tomorrow. But that was only before she assured me that none of the bills were final but, they could just fix it in the computer. However to my surprise she then told me that she could get the manger. I then told her that everything was okay and I just needed the bill to be fixed. She still insisted on getting the manger. I repeatedly asked her not to because I did not want to wait any longer. However 5 minutes s later I got the manger. I explained to the manger that we had bad customer service all night and the bill situation. All she then told me was that we should have told her earlier if we want better service. Then we asked about the bill she told my cousin that she was charged, but it would be put back in a week or two. My cousin then asked if there was any other thing she could do. She cut her off in mid sentence and then started yelling at her. The manger kept telling her if she would just listen she would understand. At that point I was just beyond done, so I told her that I didn't appreciate the way she was handling the situation. She then asked for my cousin's card again to charge her for the correct bill. She then drops the card off. By that time everything was said and done we missed the place we were supposed to be at and she never even apologizes. We went from having a wonderful night to coming in your place and having to a horrific experience. My cousin left in tears

    I came to this Joey's tired and starving. I was staying at the Hyatt Regency across the lane for work and needed a quick bite before bed. I met some colleagues at Joey's and we weren't expecting much. Pros: The curry dish is awesome and you can order brown rice without and added charge. Fresh food and beautiful colors. Con: The prices are so ridiculous. It attracts tourists and business people from the hotels. Service is kind of hit or miss as I think it's targeted at a certain type of patron, but our server that night was great though! I'll definitely come back for the curry though...it' stuck to my ribs and kept me sustained all night and through the next day until lunch.

    Wow! This place is really fun and has an awesome buzz. I went in with a girlfriend for some late night drinks and munchies and they got us right in at a booth because the bar area was completely full. They had a nice wine selection and mixed drinks, and we ordered the calimari, nachos, and lettuce wraps that were all very tasty. I would love to come back again and try their desert selections!

  • Alan S.

    Right across from the Hyatt so you will get a lot of people on business trips. There are two sections, a quieter restaurant section and a bar section. I believe the menu is the same in either place though I only went to the bar side. Always seems to have a good crowd but not really a 'locals' type place. The wait staff and bartenders were all hot which always gives you a reason to come in for a beer.

  • Diana L.

    Never ever sit at the "second" or aka facing the Hyatt bar. Service is absolutely horrible. I ordered a shot of patron silver with my boyfriend, and we downed it within 5 mins of sitting at the bar... We were never asked if we wanted another shot. The bartenders did not pay an ounce of attention at all!! Horrible place for a good-worry-free Friday night dinner. Probably won't ever visit here again...

    I was in town for business and a vendor to us dinner at Joey. I had steak writes on the menu. My meal was the least expensive however it was still about $20+ per person. Our waitress was very attentive and she was there when we need it. I thought the experience was good and the atmosphere was great.

    Second time here. First time, not so great. Try again. Three of four meals were good. The nachos came for the forth person when the three of us were just finishing our meal and they were NOT good at all. A bunch of black beans thrown on the chips and hardly any cheese. Very disappointing.

    Joey Bellevue gets 4 stars for the Atmosphere more than the food and service. You can enjoy "AOK" food.... all purty and decorated... just to mess it up on the first bite. We were a party of 8.... sat on the big bench outside. Dont get stuck with a bar chair if they run out of room... that sucks.. you are like a foot higher than everyone and you end up looking down and slouching too much. Not good for your back. The Atmostphere is great if you go outside... Inside was nice too.... Big bar upscale type. Outside... great in summer right? perfect weather here in seattle. Service: Well some of them servers are a bit 'snotty' acting just because of the upscale type of place it tries to be. ladies all in black... looking good. Guys look clean and pretty much they all have their eyebrows done. So thats the kinda place you are entering. Its catered to be that way. They all wanted to make sure you had a great time with a smile. So thats all good with me. I appreciate that. Food: AOK. i ordered the Tuna steak sandwich.... I assumed the bread was going to be the size of sasquatch...so I ordered to tuna steaks with my sandwich. I was right. the bread is huuuge! I ate one side and had my tuna steaks. the Fries.... are like mini fries. didnt like them. Not my style. Its a cool spot for lunch more than dinner.

  • Farhan A.

    The food is really good, but they had some of the worst service I have ever experienced. The servers weren't rude or anything but: 1.) Not once did we get brought out water even though we had asked. 2.) Our food was brought out one at a time, with the last meal being brought out at least 30 minutes later than everyone else's. 3.) There were no napkins brought out with our food. I had to ask twice for napkins, and then ultimately just got up myself and got them from a different waitress. 4.) It took over 45 minutes and three asks before the waitress brought my friend his drink. The waitress was apologetic and said they were badly backed up, but it didn't look busier than any other other restaurant. She was friendly and took off a few drinks from the final bill, but I would have rather just had good service.

    Came here for some late night drinks to catch up with a friend and was actually pretty surprised with the food here. One of my friends ordered the chicken wings and it literally came out stacked in a tower. The wings were small but I think we got 20-30 total. I ordered a sangria which was weak but just the way I like it. I also got a sushi hand roll which was made with rice paper and it looked pretty and tasted great!

    Some people I work with wanted to have lunch here and I wasn't thrilled based on other reviews here on Yelp. When we got to the restaurant, the hostess was nice which was a good start. Our waiter was a guy which is apparently rare at this place and he was very nice and professional. So I didn't have any concerns with staff at all. The food was only OK though. I ordered a souvlaki sandwich and it was way under seasoned and dry. I think they have too many differently influenced options and since they don't specialize in any of them they just do an OK job. My co-worker felt the same way about his fish tacos. OK but blah.

    Been here a couple of times but first time trying their CAB burger. Lets just say Iv had less grease on my burger at 5guys...and thats saying something. Luckily i also had dessert to wash away the taste of my entree and the chocolate lava cake was great. Id come back just for the dessert. I also got good customer service

    What a joke this place is!!!! Had dinner her on Monday September 15. The service was the most horrible I have ever seen in my life. We were celebrating a birthday and had mentioned this to the server and pre ordered the souffle. which was actually a molten chocolate cake. We ordered drinks and when my drink came (elderflower Collins) it was green in color and the picture on the drink menu clearly showed it as a orange color. I asked the server if she brought the correct drink and was told that they add food coloring to the drinks in the picture to make them more pretty. She then served food but we had no silverware and had to ask another server for that. My wife ordered another lemonade and it took 25 minutes to get it and by that time we were done with dinner. The food was just OK. Then at the end of the meal she asked if there was anything else and we reminded her that we had asked for the souffle and she said. "oh that's right you did! I forgot to put it in, did you still want it because it will take 25 minutes. Trust me when I say that this server was hired for one reason and it wasn't her abilities as a server. Overall this place is an overpriced TGI Fridays and I actually think the service is better at TGI Fridays. Eat here at your own risk!!!

    I like this place, the food is fairly good, waitresses are nice , only thing is that I find this place pricey for the taste. The ambiance is okay, haven't tried their hh menu yet but I've tried their belllinis and they are soooo good you'll keep coming back for more. Their blue cheese fries are the bomb, they are no longer in their menu but you could still order them and they'll make it for you.

    Definitely a fan of this spot right across from the main entrance to the Hyatt Regency Bellevue! Hanging out on the open-air patio was a blast, the waitresses were fun, drinks strong, food tasty and to go bags adorable!

    I've been many times and I wasn't a fan previously, but now I'm enjoying it! Why you ask? The customer service has improved like you wouldn't believe! I used to complain left and right to anyone who would listen because the service was so bad! My friend wanted to have his birthday dinner here so I made it happen despite the previous bad experiences I've had, and I'm glad I did! The food was never a problem as everything always tasted great, the ambiance is nice, and the decor is cool. The hostess is cute (yes I'm a female, and I'm commenting on their looks) and super nice! She helped me with the birthday cake, was patiently waiting while I tried to figure out where we wanted to sit (bar vs. dining room) and got me seated right away. The servers were all really nice and prompt for the most part. We had no problems in the dining room (she left the check too early though... that was awkward) but we had trouble finding a server in the bar. O'well. It's still a good enough experience that I'll be back!

    Terrible service!! Took over 20 mins to order two drinks on a Monday night and bar was slow and staff was well off as they were busy talking to each other. You always here so much about how good things are here but I would beg to differ. Plenty of parking and walking distance from the mall.

    JOEY is always a solid place to go for drinks or food in downtown Bellevue. To me, there is nothing out of this world, but they have some tasty food and a great vibe if you are looking for a place to hang out and catch up with friends one evening. If I am here for appetizers, my go to is always some blue cheese fries, but if I am more in the mood for something sweet, I go for the chocolate soufflé. You can't expect stellar service here, but there are some very attractive waitresses if you are looking to stare at some eye candy. Pretty people, pretty place, decent food and drinks. That about sums it up.

    Thank you for a perfect start to a LONG night! I had never eaten here, but it came highly recommended by my girlfriends who are "experienced east-siders". Thank you to Julie Goward, the Guest Service Manager for moving things around to ensure we had reservations for our group of 8 gals. Julie was quick to respond to my e-mails, and the restaurant gave me 2-3 reminder calls on the days leading up to our reservations. That type of customer service doesn't go unnoticed! We were pleasantly surprised by the wood/steel textures, white painted brick and overall "feel" of the place! The huge round table was perfect for our group and made conversation flow! The gals enjoyed their cocktails and ordered a few dishes. Surf & Turf and Ahi Tacos seemed to be the winners of the night. Other than the out of control kids in the long booth next to us (which Joey can't control) it was a great start to our long bachelorette night!

    Our fave happy hour location. Joey is pretty consistent on service and great food options and quality. I am a huge fan of the seafood tacos. They are absolutely delicious... Shrimp, fish and crispy onions with very tasty guacamole and accompanying hot sauce. YUM.... Their drinks are fantastic, our favorites are the Sangria, Mojitos and the Blended peach billini is absolutely fantastic. Their salads, salmon and the lettuce wraps are also very, very yummy....The last time we were in they surprised us with amazing customer service. Our food was a bit delayed and they went WAY, WAY out of their way to make it right. Needless to say.... they won our hearts even more.

    Having gone to this location multiple times now, I can safely post an objective review. JOEY is a great spot to pop in for a drink, however cocktails are a hit and miss and always tend to be too sweet. I do remember a St. Germain cocktail on the summer menu that was delish and refreshing. Outdoor patio is a great way to enjoy a warm summer evening. As far as food: not a single item on the menu has ever been a huge standout. As with many chain establishments, you will get consistency, but this isn't a place for a foodie. Chicken wings were really dry, and even the rotisserie chicken dish was dry. Salads are large and flavorful. I usually grab a gluten free version of the ahi tuna salad, with dressing on the side. Dressing tends to be really tangy and sweet if you drown the whole dish in it, but on the side it's perfect. Solid upscale ambiance and consistently good service still make JOEY a good option for a quick bite on the east side. P.S. JOEY gets a huge plus for a gluten free menu!

    Update: Visited Joey's in September for lunch with our 10year old daughter who has autism. Because the patio is closed to minors (huge bummer), we were seated in the dining room. After explaining our daughter's sensitivity to music, the waitress (with the manager's approval) promptly turned it down and we went on to have a wonderful lunch. How lovely to receive such a caring response. Thank you!

  • Megan C.

    After work drinks This not exactly my speed, but came here to meet for drinks/apps with an old roommate and some colleagues. The service came with a big bright smile, but the atmosphere was a bit noisy. Some radio show happened to be hosting an event while we were here, and about 50% of the patrons were ignoring the show. The lettuce wraps had very little chicken in the serving and too much shredded chinese veggie on top which ultimately made a mess and did not make for a polite item to eat in front of people I work with. If I could rate this place based on service alone I would have given it the full five stars. These girls really seem to try hard. Date Rating: 3 Pick up Scale: 4 Strong Suggestion: have a beer, and don't come here with your hearing aid turned up.

  • Alex S.

    I've been here 3 times now. I think happy hour was fine, but coming here for a full dining experience was just mediocre at best. Some of their (or all) of their stir fried asian dishes were so salty, I had to just throw them away. Let's just stick to the none asian goods. American chefs just go trigger happy with soy sauce. I know color means flavor, but dang... let's cut back on the soy sauce.

  • Cara C.

    Well first of all, they don't exactly hire ugly people. Scratch that, men. Thats because they don't hire men. They only hire young, pretty girls. The problem is, they ONLY hire based on looks, not on brains. The waitresses are pretty slow in the bar area and always seem to have other things on their minds. The service could be better in the bar. The food is great. Consistently good and fresh. Their drinks are creative and fun. They do have a good wine and beer list too. I'd say the biggest downfall is really the service. Its not terrible but it could be better and more customer oriented. Sometimes it feels like the girls don't pay attention to a table of girls, only a table of businessmen who they are more likely to get a better tip from.

    I once was asked by an older guy at a gas station what kind of mileage I got on my Ducati. My response was simple; "It's not about the mileage". Joey's is kinda like my Ducati. It's not really about the food. I do have to admit that the recent menu change is for the better. Some of my old standbys are gone, but the new items I've found to replace them are good. But again, it's about the servers at Joey...

  • Amy B.

    Powerful drinks. Great appetizers. Excellent meetup spot. That's what my notes say. What I feel about the place is that when my crazy friends order one of everything, no one blinks. They just bring it and we all dig in, family style. People come and go and it's total chaos but the food is good and the atmosphere is mostly bar-ish but with sit down space. Plan for fun, bring your gang. It's a great place for that kind of things.

    I've frequented this establishment when it first opened. We had my little brother's stag party at the Lake Union Joey's. I recently moved back and have frequented Joey Bellevue. I'm impressed with the bartenders, male or female. The bar Manager Dillon is on point and very sociable and overall great customer service. I normally don't do reviews on Yelp but to commemorate mobile review app update I decided to review here as I pay my tab. You should come out and check out this establishment sometime! It's bananas.

    "Oh, I am so craving a salad today," said no one ever. The only appropriate time to eat a salad as your meal is when you walk into your own kitchen, and you get a migraine thinking of how to combine fifty random ingredients together in any other way like the ones on your boards on Pinterest. My unsolicited advice to you is to just overlook the salad section at Joey completely. I made this mistake, ordering the beach salad, thinking I was going to turn into Pamela Anderson (Baywatch era). Yeah, as if, right? I left hungrier than when I had entered, yet full with regrets that I didn't order something more satisfying. Instead, aim for the burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers. At the moment, it's not on the menu because I guess it's seasonal, but I swear by their Nirvana Burger. This was previously known as the Question Mark Burger, and they held a naming contest for some time. My suggestion to name it Blueberry Yum Yum didn't make the cut, sadly. Made with a combination of jack and cheddar cheese, jalapeños, hot sauce, and likely a whole tub of lard, I guarantee that this burger will have your serotonin levels jet-packing itself up to the sky. This burger brings a lot of confusion--should I dive right into it, or should I take my time to nibble at it? Each bite is not unlike rediscovering your life calling over and over again. It is packed with flavor, and it remains a mystery to me in terms of recreating it. I would second anyone's suggestion to also try their Baja Fish Tacos. Arguably, it isn't the best fish taco I have had, but it's still something that I would order from here. You're served three tacos in soft corn tortillas on a stylish taco holder. I also love their Mediterranean Pizza, although it's more in the style of a flatbread. This is my ideal carbohydrate high when I want one; their pizza here trumps that of their competitors like Palomino and Earls down the road. Spinach and artichoke dip? Yes, please. For Bellevue fare, this is a good spot to catch up with friends or have a meet-up with colleagues because the food is going to take a while to get to you. The atmosphere is more business casual versus the sweatpants hanging so far down that you can see your underwear and wifebeaters. That really won't pass anywhere in Bellevue, unless you're at PF Chang's maybe. Yes, Joey does attract a crowd of business men (particularly during weekday lunch time) who think they are way more important than they actually are. I don't let this deter me from coming to visit because this place is spacious enough to turn my back to this obnoxiousness. I've always had good service out of the many times I have been here because I worked in Bellevue. They refill what needs to be refilled in a timely fashion. They are open late on weekends, unlike most places that close at 11 PM, which is a bonus. Lincoln Square parking is also validated here. Don't be that idiot* who parks at Bellevue Square and then walks in the rain to get here. *Totally me.

    Everyone comes here for the drinks but their best kept secret is their food and outdoor patio. The drinks and atmosphere is so-so. Their Lake Union and U Village locations are much better. But still one of the places to go if you're in Bellevue for a night out.

    I thought this was a decent place. They have a gluten free menu that has tasty options. 4 stars just for that. I ate at the bar, and the bartender was super friendly and social. It was a nice place for me to hang out on a Sunday night.

    Ive always had a good experience here but not sure who started ordering their food. The last time we went in the chicken was mostly fat and skin. I hate to complain but waiting an hour to finally get your food that is worse than a ratty teriyaki shop is pretty annoying. Their atempt to make it right was a piece of flat bread with a piece of lettuce and a 2nd piece of chicken that was as bad as the first. I had higher expectations and was let down.

    On a warm sunny day in Bellevue, lunch on the back patio of Joey hits the spot. However, take away all of that sunshine and you have yourself a lackluster meal. I don't like to concentrate too much on service unless it is really notably poor, so I will just advise you to be wary of coming if you are on a strict timetable for a workday lunch. Other than the slow service (note: everyone at our table ordered salads), the food itself was overpriced and sub-par. The Sashimi Salad was $17 and in no way reflected a $17 salad. There were 5 small pieces of tuna sashimi, greens, a few slices of avocado, and two wedges of tomato. Per the description and price, I was expecting a salad filled with mango, avocado, and sashimi. I am pretty realistic in my price points, but even for me this was a large stretch. One of my colleagues ordered the same sashimi salad as myself but substituted in grilled salmon. If I were to go again and order that same salad, I would definitely make that substitution. Being a small-framed female, the size of the salad was just enough to make me feel like I had a light lunch. If you are aiming at having a true meal, I would suggest ordering something more. On a positive note, they do have gluten-free/vegetarian options. The GF/V menu is pretty slim and mostly modifications of their current menu, but it is still nice to have those options. While I am not a fan of soy-based meat alternatives, the soy chicken isn't too bad. Overall, I would probably come back solely for the atmosphere on a sunny day. The food was okay, just very overpriced for what you are actually receiving (in regards to the salads).

    I went here recently for a work party lunch and had an OKAY experience. There was a total of seven of us and we were put in the very back right corner at a table. Our server was very nice, but it took him awhile to check on us when we had been ready to order for awhile. Food and apps were pretty good, the guy next to me got a steak and it smelled amazing. They also have really awesome reusable take home bags that are like the ones you buy for your groceries. I have always heard that you have to be babealicious to work at Joey's and I definitely saw that in the staff. I had a nice time but this place seemed a little expensive. Basically, I wasn't wowed but it wasn't bad.

  • Jason F.

    The casting couch for Joey has got to be very specialized. The female servers are a consistent selection of local versions of supermodels with great personalities. This kind of defines Joey, as you will notice that it's the theme of the place. But, beyond the shallow attractiveness, there's great food, drink and service to round out for great experiences every time. It's a favorite for me for business meetings as well as entertaining out of towners. The location in bellevue used to have a more formally dedicated restaurant portion, but I believe they've converted to more of a bar/lounge all around.

  • Tony P.

    We sat down and ordered (and got) drinks, but they appeared to proceed to forget about us. We had to walk up to them and ask to order food about 15 mins later. Not the kind of service I expected at an such a restaurant. I would not choose to eat here.

    I've been to three locations of Joey's (Lake Union, Tukwila and Bellevue) and so I've decided to write a review of the spot I've been to the most. Generally speaking, I like Joey's very much for a specific reason: Blue cheese fries. Yes, their skinny fries laid upon the gooey-goodness of hot blue cheese deserve to be in my mouth on a Friday night after a long, stressful day at work! By the way, I hate Mondays unless I'm at a Joey's. Why? Two words. Bellini Monday.

    Would've been an awesome first time visit until 2 weeks later when a TMobile over $1000 fraudulent charge appeared on my AMEX card. Had happy hour last week of Jan 2014 and the server "forgot" to give me my credit card. Looked for her, in the very crowded room, found her and inquired about my credit card and, without hesitation, pulled out my card from her apron saying nonchalantly, "I must've put it with my card". Was bothered but dismissed it until AMEX contacted me about above charges the moment it was put through. Food was great; unfortunately will never go back nor recommend it unless one pays cash. We are sticking to our usual list of businesses and vendors.

    We've come here twice and had a pretty good time. The first time we came for an early lunch on a weekday. Service was slow but adequate for my husband and me, although the bill did take a while to arrive and she forgot our parking validation back at a desk somewhere. The hostess, actually, helped us quite a few times, coming over to our nearby table to answer our questions and was generally really nice. (I wonder if she was the manager and I didn't know?) I enjoyed my gyoza and house salad very much and my husband's steak was tasty. We returned on another weekday night for an early dinner with our preschoolers. We were seated right away. The first girl to ask us what we'd like to order had no idea about their kid offerings: it's not on a menu and she hadn't heard about it. Since we HAD heard about it just a week previous we asked her to go find out. I think it was the manager who came by to talk to us about the menu this time. We were able to customize offerings for our kids and I was told I could customize a Beach salad to a smaller size. Loved the salad with the tasty chicken (not just a throw on item, REALLY worth it) and my daughter ate half my gyoza. We had a mixed round of waitstaff after that. There was a strange part where my daughter's juice refill came back from the bar mixed with club soda: a nice thought but she doesn't like carbonation. Otherwise, the other refills, clearing the table, the bill, etc were all handled just fine. My husband noted that we had been there for a very long time, but I didn't notice. I really did love my salad and my gyoza. My daughter told me "next time, Mom, I want my own geeyoz".

  • Megan J.

    I went here one afternoon with a buddy and the place was nearly empty, so you'd think the kitchen would be swift and accurate with food! Guess again! After waiting 20 minutes to have our waitress take our order, it took almost 45 minutes to even get our food to the table. I ordered pasta with veggies and it was ice cold in the middle, looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp all day. The veggies were undercooked as majority of the dish was cold. My friends steak was rare when he ordered it well. I would never recommend this place to anyone, nor will I return.

  • Karen L.

    They're currently renovating their dining area, so only their open seating bar area is open for dining. I was with my friends Friday night, and we were a party of 7, so we had to wait a bit for a table large enough for our party. Even then, it was a tight squeeze. But that's not the reason why I'm giving them 3 stars. I ordered the "Thai Lover" martini, and it was pretty good. For my entree, I ordered the ahi tuna club sandwich, and the tuna was almost fully cooked. Not acceptable. It was still good, but I think there was too much going on in the sandwich: onion rings, bacon, red pepper relish, and arugula. I could hardly taste the tuna. However, our friends love this place, so we may come back to try the other entrees (though I'd probably stay away from the burgers/sandwiches). Also, I felt the service was a bit snobby. Our waitress was friendly, but the other waitresses were a bit rude, especially when we were figuring out our seating arrangement. I felt like we were unwanted. Fortunately, that's not something I'd dwell on, but it did initially bother me.

  • Maggie F.

    Really nice setting. Located in the heart of bellvue. I came here for a family dinner, and I think that's what made it such a special place :) A memorable night. Had a couple of drinks, and they were all WONDERFUL! Ones to commend are the blueberry mojito (spectacular!) and the chocolate cake shot (pleasant surprise!) I shared the sushi and steak with my cousin. It was meh, average sushi, average steak. Bit overpriced for mediocre stuff. Boring review I know. If I ever have a chance to go back, I will write an update so that I can give Joey's a more comprehensive review.

  • Allan E.

    I've been going here often enough that I think I should write a review about this place. First, the service is spotty, at best. A busy weekend night could be spot on and a slow er weekend night, it can be hurrendous. Usually me and the crew will unwind with a few of their drink specials, with no food ordered. Sometimes the waitress will check on you periodically, depending on who you get. YES, there is a lot of eyecandy, for us guys. But if you happen to bring in a date or couples, then that might be another story. I can recall a night we went in and ordered drinks, the waitress just dropped off our drinks without saying anything. It was kind of shoved on the table and she was off to the next ticket. We were like "Oh..ok, thanks for letting me know..." Food wise: This place must be cutting back on some expenses. I remember ordering their Ahi taco's and they were a good size for the price. I ordered some on a Friday night and I swear these where mini Ahi taco's, like kids size....WTF? All together it was probably 2oz of Ahi, thats a rather small portion. Its pretty popular with the guests staying at the Hyatt Regency. You may get lucky every once in a while and see some local sports atheletes there, but other than that, I'll probably pass on this place.....for now.

  • Spazz R.

    Pretty good. Had a sirloin steak and it had a good flavor to it. Added the mushroom au jus and it helped give it a little pizzaz. The taquito-style mashed potatoes (mashed potatoes basically deep fried in a roll) were quite delicious. Asparagus quality wasn't great though and wasn't cooked very well. Fries were also shoestringy and not very flavorful or fun - nothing stood out about them. I think they are supposed to have hot girls there but who cares.

  • Ana S.

    I am so, so happy they've brought back the mushroom soup. It is delicious -- creamy, very mushroomy and I think I taste a hint of truffle oil. In addition to this, they have some dishes with crispy potato rolls that really round out your dish (secret: I often ask to sub this for my mashed potatoes when ordering their beef short ribs). The super stoked vodka coke or super nova vodka sodas are my favorite drinks there for their unique slushy added to the top. All in all, if you have patience to get seated or don't have children so can get a place in the bar, it's a great place for a flavorful meal.

  • Bamf A.

    This place has three definite must orders, in my opinion. The hard lemonade is ridiculous. It's this slushy, sour drink swirled with a house citrus slush, which is electric blue. And it's delicious. Possibly could be dangerous, but I don't think it's very strong at all. The potstickers are great. They have this sesame soy oil on the bottom of the plate and they have a dot of spicy mustard and a piece of green onion on top. They are so good, even if you don't like mustard, you won't taste it at all, I promise just try it! Finally the crispy mashed potatoes. They are TO. DIE. FOR. They are the perfect mashed potato, rolled into some kind of like, won ton shell. And then they deep fry them, I'm guessing. They look kind of like an egg roll and are golden brown. The outside shell is super thin and the perfect amount of a little crunch going into mashed goodness. On top they get some cheddar, bacon, sour cream, and green onions. They are truly the best mashed potato side item I've ever had. On top of these necessary items, their edamame is very good, but skip the sliders, they're pretty dry & boring. The steaks are alright, nothing special. If you're going to get one go with the filet, that's my favorite here. I had a bad experience once, I ordered a steak, medium temp. I got a rare steak, so I asked the server to have them throw it back on the grill for a minute. She brings me my steak and it's literally just sitting on top of a piece of greenleaf. I asked her to please have them replate it, since I'm a cook and I know that's what you do when you screw up somebody's food. Give it to them the second time exactly how it is supposed to be. I was pretty upset at this point, especially since everything had been kinda slow and just a mediocre visit up to that point. She brings me the new plate and when I cut it see that this steak has been cooked up to medium well, and not edging on medium well, but definite. When she came back to check, I was starving so I just ate the steak but asked her to let the cooks know that it was still cooked incorrectly but I did not need it corrected. I'm not usually so demanding but man, I know unacceptable food service when I see it, and this was it. I'll still go back from time to time for the mashed potatoes, potstickers, and lemonades, but I have come to realize the menu items are good at best and overpriced. Drinks also are overpriced, but it is Bellevue Way, can you expect anything else?

    so I've been to Joey a handful of times but haven't enjoyed it as I did today. My previous visits have always been about the drinks...this time, it was brunch. It hit the spot. YUM. Fried egg sandwich with bacon, tomato and avocado. My mouth is watering as I think about it. Service is so-so---well, the bar is pretty decent but the place does get packed. Besides, you go to have a few drinkies and to chat it up. anyhoo...If you are not up for brunch, I recommend the Double Super Stoked Vodka Coke with the cherry slushy stuff. Have three and we'll see you on the corner. Cheers!

    This place is pretty good, but I remember someone saying it's an upscale Hooters, which I don't recall the first and only time I went there. Makes me want to go back and check it out. Other than that, the food is pretty good and the atmosphere is calm and soothing.

    I like the new lounge in the back- it's spacious and luxurious but I bet it gets difficult to find a space in peak hours, as well as to move around. The Mushroom and Swiss burger wasn't impressive for $14.. but service is solid, as usual.

    Someone should really teach these girls how to pour beer into a glass. Its saturday night and there out of there sushi? Looks like management is at fault here. Overall decent place to chill with friends.

    Mediocre and over priced. Indifferent service, Caesar salad like you would get from a kit at the supermarket, and over-done steak. Lots of better places to go.

    First time there last night...hip style. Was only in the bar. Drinks on the expensive side but you expect that from Bellevue. We wanted an appetizer, bartender Alexia suggested the shrimp pesto pizza...it was fantastic. Can't say anything about the rest of the menu, but here is my take: The drinks are done well, the pizza was great and the service from Alexia was over and beyond the call of duty. She had a full bar but still made sure our drinks were full, the food was acceptable and held a conversation that extended beyond the job of a server/bartender. If I could rate the service only they would get a 5 star rating.

    This is one of my favorite places to take friends and coworkers for a casual dinner after shopping or just a long day at the office. The dish that comes to mind when I think of Joey's is always the Bleu Cheese Fries. This bowl of deliciousness is always on the order every time I go. Joey's has a business casual type of atmosphere and typically filled with the Microsoft crowd. The staff is always friendly, and attentive. The Ahi Tuna salad is by far my favorite meal when I go there. It is always fresh and displayed beautifully, and I need something to offset the fries. The food is not only delicious, but the drinks are as well. The Peach Bellini is by far my favorite drink when ever I go. Their standard drinks are also very tasty but the Bellini is tasty refreshing treat to enjoy with my meal. If you are ever in downtown Bellevue and want a place to hangout with your friends I recommend this place. It is calm and chill and just a great place to converse.

    Food: Mediocre. There are a few decent items on the menu, but stick to the "neo-American" stuff. If you diverge from that, you'll regret it. Bar: Fantastic. I like the drinks here, especially the specialty ones that are all doubles. My fav is the SuperSonic Gin 'n Tonic, while the girls really like the Bellinis. Despite a decent amount of seating at the SLU location and even moreso at the Bellevue location, it's usually really packed, so it's tough to get a seat. Service: Good at the bar, but far from it in the dining area, especially if you come with a large group. I've been here many times, since other people chose it as the venue for a celebration dinner of some kind. The kitchen takes forever to make the dishes, the waitresses don't come by often enough, drinks take forever to deliver, and someone usually ends up receiving either the wrong dish or something cooked incorrectly. I don't blame the waitresses, since Joey's hires them with 0 experience. With training and on the job experience, that isn't the issue. The problem is with the management. At the Bellevue location, they expect their waitresses to do EVERYTHING: seating, order-taking, food running, bussing, and they have to answer the phones too! What do the hostesses do? At the Bellevue location, the answer is absolutely nothing except stand around greeting incoming customers and write their names down on a piece of paper. In Seattle they also hold open the door and seat patrons.

  • Denise L.

    Chocolate molten lava cake..do I need to say more? That's actually probably the only reason why I give this 2 stars. Desserts=bomb. Actual main dishes? Mediocre. I'd rather go somewhere a little nicer/more expensive to get better food. The food is definitely forgettable. It's always incredibly packed at Joey's, mainly filled with young working/college men crowding the bars and watching the games on TV. It's a great place for friends to chill, but I wouldn't come here to eat a course very often. It's a pretty loud place, so don't expect a nice, romantic, quiet dinner to be held here. Service is speedy. They are always coming by to see if we need anything and food/drinks come out relatively quickly. And that rumor about Joey's hiring good looking people? So true :P

    This place used to be good but in recent years everything has diminished. The portions are very small now and the prices have gone hire. The $14 pizza is 5 inches and comes with exactly 4 baby shrimps. The only good thing about this place is the waitresses, mind you most of them are either engaged or actually married.

    I will start this review by saying that I walked into Joey Bellevue with low expectations of what we were going to get. It doesn't look like much from the outside and, well, quite frankly I thought we were going to walk into the stereo-typical sports bar with really bad food and lots of beer but no good mixed drinks. Okay, I'll admit it. I was wrong... Hubby and I, exhausted from Christmas shopping, decided to head to Joey and grab us a drink. He forgot to mention that there was a college football game so I think there probably was another motive to head here. We belly up to the bar and of course I immediately see the gorgeous bar ladies and know that Hubby did too. First instinct is that they're probably snooty. Nope, they were so friendly, I liked them instantly. Hubby had a dirty martini and I had what they call a Long Island Ice Tea Swirl. The swirl is the kicker - it is lemony and sits on top of the ice tea like slushy goodness. Our Barkeep tells us they were potent so they usually limit people to 2 of those. Oh I do love Long Island Ice Teas but this slushy thing made it really amazing. We decide to order food and just get their potato appetizer - it was basically mashed potatoes rolled inside an egg roll type wrapper and served with Ranch dressing. Ok this was like carry-around comfort food. Very delish and satisfying. Prices were not crazy but pretty typical for downtown Bellevue. Drinks were anywhere from $9 to $12 and their happy hour prices are very reasonable if you're on a budget. The appetizers are a little on the high priced side but, again, happy hour is the way to go. They told us they were doing up their whole dining room so we're excited about coming here for dinner one of these nights too given how good this appetizer was. After our drinks and appie, Hubby and I vow to come here and spend a whole afternoon noshing and drinking. Given how much I love their Long Island slushy thing, we're definitely going to take a cab!

    I've been to multiple Joey locations but this experience made me not want to come back to this specific location. I came with a couple girlfriends on a week night. We were out for drinks and some nachos and were very disappointed with the service. First of all, the server took about literally 10 minutes to bring us waters after greeting (which is understandable if it was packed because I am a server and I would know,) but it was very empty so it was not acceptable in my opinion. Also, our nachos were cold and she did not even check up on us to even know because she was too busy flirting with the few men in the restaurant. Fortunately for her, we were so hungry that we just ate them anyways. And finally, we waited a pretty long time for her to come give us the check and seeing that she was purposely paying more attention to the guests that were men was quite rude. I usually always tip but I honestly could not in this case because I was so irritated by the terrible service.

    This place was hopping at 8:30 on a Thursday night, but we were lucky to get one of the few open seats without a wait. It was pretty energetic (happily I wasn't there expecting a quiet romantic dinner) but conversation was still possible without feeling like I was yelling or being yelled at. The server was friendly and accommodating of my annoying dietary restrictions, and the kitchen put together a slightly modified version of their Beach Salad that was just as good as you'd hope a $16 salad to be. I'm not really into "the scene" and JOEY seemed to be a little bit of The Scene. On the other hand, maybe everyone is into the Beach Salad as much as I was; I know I've thought about going back for it a few times since then.

    So apparently every time my boss and I are in Bellevue we are going to Joey's because my boss is stuck on "the A team". It doesn't hurt that the place is pretty hip and the food varies from really good to great. This trip I tried the Panang Curry Prawns for my entree. For an American restaurant, they pulled the curry off very well. We also shared various apps including the spicy ginger beef and blue cheese fries. Yummy. Our server Jaime was outstanding and handled our group of 16 with aplomb.

    Often duplicated (palominos, earls, pearl) never replicated. Joey Bellevue is the face of the eastside. There you have swank, class, style, beautiful women, and amazing cocktails. One thing that i respect most about the "Joey" name is what they stand for. 100% customer satisfaction. No questions asked. They set a standard of what customer service should be. Of my many visits to multiple Joey locations - I have yet to have to open my own door, be the first to say hi, and have never left disappointed. My last visit here - i came with my girlfriend. upon walking thru the door (that the hostess ran over to open) we were warmly greeted by 3 ladies. As we waited for our table we were offered wine and snacks. we were quickly seated and our waiter was over within 3 minutes time for drink orders. We had some chicken wings, pasta, and ahi salad as well as some super sonic gin and tonics. about 5 minutes into getting our food a manager stopped by to ensure all was well with our service so far and let us know if we needed anything to not hesitate to ask right away. a few bites into the meal - we weren't overly impressed by the food. only for that day - we've been to Joeys many times before and have always had quality food. As offered by the manager - we didn't hesitate to ask for her again. She came out - asked us what she can help with. We explained our disappointment in the food. and immediately she asked us what she can do to make the situation better. in the end she comp'd the food and offered dessert. we respectfully declined. she was very apologetic and sincere. despite a bad experience with the food - i'm not upset because they took a bad situation and made it better. that's all one can ask for in service. my hunger wasn't satisfied but i walked away 100% satisfied as that is their motto. pros: great customer service - so before you give them a bad review - talk to a manager to see if the situation can be resolved! great drinks! a bit pricier but you pay for the ambiance (get the super sonic gin and tonic, super soda vodka nova, or hanger one lime on the rocks). gorgeous women everywhere! and valet parking service if you don't feel like parking yourself. cons: gets super packed in the bar - hard to navigate thru or around.

    Bar Only: I'll tell you what, after a long day of dismembering people with my lightsaber and Force throwing the infidels into the Pit of Despair, a stiff lemonade or other mixed drink at Joey Bellevue really hits the ole voice modulator. These really are some of the best bartenders in town, and the various top shelf drinks are absolutely delicious. I'm docking it a point because it's no better than 50/50 that you can actually get a table or booth at night due to the crowd - it appears that the Microsofties that go there after work don't respect authority, but I've found it well worth the wait. Heck, sometimes after a few drinks, I even command the Force to pet a kitten. 4 Deathstars.

    Ehh, this place is like Earl's (which people outside of Denver may or may not be familiar with)... It's the super-upscale-sports-bar/dining room. It serves it's purpose, but definitely not the type of place I'm going to party. Just the type of place you can go if you're from out of town and want a decent meal and a beer and catch up on your sports. Although I would speculate that on a friday or saturday that place is a complete mess... Full of happy hour business people types. Anyway, that's my 2-cents. I had the chicken souvlaki pita and it was really good, but they claim their fries are "world famous" and I wonder what they are famous for? Not having any salt on them?

    I really want to like this place. Partially, I do, because this place has a great vibe to it. But the food, for the price you pay, is nothing if not mediocre! We went here because this was the only place open @ 10 in the night (stays open till 2AM). Between 5 people we ordered a nachos grande, chilli chicken, 2 panang prawn curries and a blackened basa! The nachos & basa were good, not exceptional. I was very very disappointed with the panang curry though. Our dish had 2 tiny prawns in it and about four spoonfuls of curry with a bucketload of rice. Seriously, its a $17 entree, are you really kidding me? I don't really care about the quantity, but atleast think about the proportions properly! I give 2 stars only for their molten lava chocolate soufflé.

  • Shelly S.

    On Thursday the place was packed full, which puzzles me because the service compares to that of Denny's at 4 am. First, they sat us at tables that weren't cleaned properly-with sticky stains and all that glamour. By the time they managed to get the table cleaned, our waitress brought out equally suspicious looking utensils with stains and dried food still stuck to the plates and knives. The waitress herself was another story. I like a cute face as much as the next gal, but this lady was either high on drugs or high on drugs. It took about 45 minutes to get our order-they must have been searching for old Italian ladies to knead the pizza dough. That must be the reason. I give the place 4 stars because the cocktails were decent and I am a happy drunk. On the bright side-no food poisoning (which I was completely prepared for).

  • Sarah M.

    Sure, the staff here is beautiful...but why are people complaining? The service was just fine and that's all that really matters in the end now, doesn't it? I had been wary about coming here after reading about how pretentious the staff was, but I really enjoyed the experience! We sat in the bar on a rainy/snowy Bellevue day and had a wonderful meal! The lunch salmon is PHENOMENAL! It is normally served medium rare, but I ordered it medium-well because I don't like my salmon slimy. It was juicy and delicious. It was accompanied by a wonderfully flavorful rice with some kind of sauce and cranberries and almonds. Not one of the 5 of us were dissatisfied with our meal. The water was refilled on time and our bills were presented to us properly. There were times when the server looked like she was undressing people with her eyes with her seductive stare, but she did it equally to the guys and the girls, so I was guessing that it was just her idea of getting a better tip. Meh, whatever works.

  • Cindy C.

    Stopped in Joey with the hub while waiting for our daughter and her bff to emerge from the mall on cold afternoon. GREAT decision. Seated in the bar, served a sweet Long Island w/ citrus float - SO good, and noshed on an ahi appetizer. Loved the app so much that even though we had no intention of staying for a meal, I ordered a salad - with more ahi, of course! Charmed that day (apparently), we were there when the Apple Cup came on - and happened to have one of the best tables in the house to watch it. The place packed out, making for one exciting, entertaining couple of hours. Yes, it's obvious these ladies aren't hired primarily for their service skills (although our servers were fabulous). But with great food, great drinks, and great atmosphere, even a 40-something married brunette woman has a reason to show up at Joey.

  • Alison K.

    Hot waitresses, cold drinks, and average tasting food. They always have a drink special (I love the long island slushy thing!) and their drink menu is full of entertaining cartoons. Of all the places to go in Bellevue, this is not my favorite, but I don't hate it here either. 3 stars because while the waitresses are friendly, they take too long to get drinks. Also, Joey's is usually full of "I just turned 21!" year olds. Meh. My advice? Come here for the drink special, have a few, and move on down the road to Earl's.

  • Mitchel L.

    We had a good time, until one of our party members forgot her coat here. The waiter promptly put the coat away in the back so we could pick it up the next day. However, one of the waitresses walked away with it that night and we never saw it again. I found this out when I dropped by in the morning looking for it. They admitted that they found it, but could not find it any longer and joked about a waitress "possibly getting cold". The manager at the time also never followed up with me as promised I wasn't impressed, but I can't say that I'm shocked at all by this outcome. I would have been content with an apology, but that didn't even happen. ***Update*** I happened to write Joeys an email about this experience. They not only got back with me, they apologized, offered to re-imburse the coat and invited me in for a night on them. In my experience, it's not about the mistakes you make, it's how you make them right. They went above and beyond on making this right. I am honestly impressed. In light of the above, I'm changing this to 4 stars. I'm not removing the initial experience as I think it's ultimately a feather in their cap.

    $75 for two sloppy burgers, two beers, and some nachos. Total rip off for basic bar food. Started with one server and was passed to another after we ordered. The second server proceeded to retake our order. They couldn't get our food to us in a reasonal amount of time but they did ask us if we wanted refills about ten times. Definitely not visiting again just based on price.

    I used to be in here quite often, going back to about 11/08. I used to really enjoy Joey's but have been pretty dissapointed with it in recent times. I don't feel like the service is on the same level and it really needs a deep clean with some updating/fixing. I was also a little dissaointed that they isntalled TVs everywhere in the bar. It's just an expensive sports bar at this point.

    Their cocktails are fabulous!!!! Very pricey though. They also have really great appetizers. The service is TERRIBLE. I get that the whole appeal of this place is the pretty girls they have working there, but it should not take them 45 minutes to bring fries. Clearly our food had been sitting out a while and was not even lukewarm. It was not busy either. We really love their drinks and snacks but for the price we will go somewhere else next time that serves their food hot.

    Came here for pre-dinner drinks last night. The crowd was very much business travelers/happy hour goers.. They offer a decent variety of beers on top, a nice wine list and some delicious snacks. We couldn't pass on the gourmet cheese fries. Our server was super friendly and attentive, making the experience quite pleasant. I'd visit Joey's again when I am back in town.

    I am not a lady who lunches.. I mostly eat lunch at my desk while saving the world. We had a nice goodbye party lunch for a coworker here and I have to say that Joey's has fabulous food, dessert and drinks. We all tried each others food and the evil chicken salad, steak and sushi, Ahi tacos and desserts were ALL spectacular! Do Note it is $pricy$ for a lunch. It will be a great place to celebrate one offs and unclench the purse strings for a special occasion for sure! The only issue I had with Joeys is how slow motion the staff is. They are crazy friendly but s- l- o -w. It took like 10 mins to get our order taken after we were seated (there was hardly anyone in there as it was lunch time?!) After our drinks arrived it was about another 10 mins or more to get order in. Of course.. our large table of food then also took forever to come out-- I was about to eat my napkin! I don't have time for a 2 hour lunch so they need to step it up a bit on timing, other than that everyone thought the lunch was excellent.

  • Robert K.

    Used to visit frequently but now the bar gets so packed. It was one of the earlier places to grab some drinks around Bellevue but now with the amount of options, it's lower on my list as the food is average, pricing is standard for this kind of place/vibe. This Bellevue location has a nice outdoor area between the building and Hyatt. It's a pretty nice place to relax and have some drinks/snacks with friends in the late summer evenings. Dishes: ahi tuna tacos rock, burgers are decent if you like the fancier style, steak is average but one is of good value with a fair price, and other items follow a similar pattern. Disclaimer: haven't been here in a while.

  • Lili T.

    Funny story. I came here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. After ordering a couple of appetizers (calamari and nachos), the waitress brought out take-out chopsticks for all the asians and none for the caucasians. Weird right? Borderline-racist-but-maybe-sorta-kinda-funny? That's not the reason why I'm giving this place a 2 stars though. It's a place to be seen -- not a place to eat. The food is mediocre at best (and slightly overpriced) and the drinks are just "Ehh...". Skip the "Really Fuzzy Navel" . It's a double that tastes like a single. Ignore what the waitress tells you. It's really not that good. It's really not that special. Food-wise, there's nothing here that would bedazzle a foodie. There's the typical American dishes..like the 12 oz New York strip or the California chicken burger. And then...there's the "Ethnic food aisle" selection. Like the "Chinatown chicken lettuce wraps" and the "Spicy Italian Pizza". Nothing worth mentioning though.

  • Sarah Z.

    Joey's is an upscale Hooters. Yea, I'd go back. The food is good quality, recipes a bit boring but I can find something I like. The fried egg sandwich is really really tasty for breakfast. The servers seem to all be model-thin and prancing around scantly, yet tastefully, clad. But this isn't hooters.. Unfortunately, while pleasing to the eye, the service can be really hit or miss. Especially sitting on the patio we've had some pretty terrible service; waiting 30 minutes for a server to come back with drinks (dead on a Sunday AM), forgot a drink, still put it on the bill, and more. I see room for improvement in this area. Still overall an enjoyable and comforting atmosphere, and so as long as you have time and patience, it's a nice place for a relaxing meal.

  • Josh B.

    Between Joey and Earls, I am in Happy Hour heaven on the eastside. If you go here you will see a lot of attractive women, most of them waitresses. Sometimes the bar can be a sausage fest. My favorite items are the baja fish tacos, the burger and the blue cheese wedge salad. Yummm. Update: Joey has great food and drink, and attractive people, but it is certainly not a place you would ever come to be social. Everyone in the bar is zoned out into their own tables and/or watching sports. I'm knocking it because it has the potential to be so much more than a sports bar for fake snobs.

    Joey's really knows the IMPORTANCE of customer service!!!! Last night (FRIDAY) we went to Joey's too celebrate a friends birthday and given that there were only six of us we couldn't make a reservation. We were told that our wait would be 15 minutes, however, it was closer to an hour, why the high rating you ask?! Well in that hour that we were waiting we got a round of drinks on the house ( and they weren't watered down) and three appetizers, they continued to check in with us and apologize for the wait. once seated, that great service continued and when our bills arrived we were pleased to see that we were indeed "treated" for everything that they said we would be. It was a GREAT NIGHT with Good friends at a business that knows how to TREAT its customers. WELL PLAYED JOEY's, WELL PLAYED!!!!! Tabby

    First the good: The Supersonic Gin and Tonic is amazing. BEST GnT I've ever had, and by quite a wide margin. -But I'm a beer guy mostly. The selection of beers is very good, but even better than that was the beer POUR. Great beer is a pleasure and the experience is only made better when the beer is shown the love and respect it deserves... A tall, clean glass, cooled by running water, not being sequestered in a freezer. A beautiful pour from a stainless-steel Perlick front-sealing tap that ends with the perfect amount of head. Holy smokes, I want to go back right now and have another and another and maybe a few after that. High marks for the libations here. The wait-staff are attractive enough and as competent as you'd like -but here's where we start into the not-so-good part for me. -This is purely an aesthetics thing, so be advised, your mileage may vary here- This place is WAY too loud and tries WAY too hard. It was a complete sausage fest of middle-aged guys in suits when I was there. -Okay I AM a middle-aged guy and I occasionally wear a suit, but I do NOT want to hang out with those assclowns on my time off. I don't own a thin watch, I don't aspire to date college girls with daddy issues, I will NOT wear designer anything and I drive a car that's been paid off for almost a decade. I guess the most charitable thing I can say here is "not my scene". Go early for a perfectly-poured beer and perhaps a GnT and get out before the creeping horror of middle-aged cocks and 20-something hipsters descends.

    The employees here do not care about the customers. We went for Brunch today (Sunday) arriving at about 1:30 pm. Our party was 7 people (5 adults, 2 kids). When we first arrived, they saw the first 3 of our group and said, oh the wait is 20 minutes, because the place is not adequately staffed. I thought that they would offer us one of the many tables, as there were maybe 15 people in the restaurant, but they said we could move to the bar if we wanted. When I responded that we have two kids with us, and the party size was 7, they said oh, the wait is now 45 minutes. Two problems: 1. The staff should make some sort of effort to capture this business. Offer us a table, or drinks or something that we wouldn't just sit in the lobby. 2. The management should be able to properly staff the restaurant, even for a Sunday. Ridiculous that they can't do this. I won't be back. By the way, they lost our $180 tab to McCormick & Schmidts, just around the corner, not very smart for tips, management or the general business. And now our party will never go back to this place.

    I came here on a Friday night with my bf and got seated right away. I liked the layout of this joey than the other ones. The service was very friendly and even the manager stopped by to ask about our food and service. The server kept checking on us to see if we needed anything which was great. We got the ahi tuna tacos as appetizers and of course it was good. We also got the cajun steak which were okay. Not the best steak but not the worst. I love the egg roll mash potatoes that came with it and bf enjoyed the seasoned vegetables. We got the molten lava chocolate souffle and it was good as well. The vanilla ice cream really complemented the chocolate. I enjoyed my experience here at joeys :)

    I guess many people have issues with the bar, but in 3 years I have never set foot in there knowing the type of crowd a trendy bar like this would attract. Instead, we've always gone straight to the dining room. Its dimly lit, spacious and relaxing. The booths are comfy and the service has always been awesome. What really sets this place apart from the other spots in downtown Bellevue? Its one of those few places you can get a decent late night meal, seeing that its open till 2am. I've always enjoyed their succulent rotisserie chicken and various filets. They were always cooked perfectly to order and well seasoned. The burgers really hit the spot too, piled high with delicious toppings yet always presented in an oddly clean matter(I like the Hi-Rise Cheddar Bacon Burger, medium). Prices are fair, averaging $15-30 depending on how fancy you are feeling. But here is something to ponder: Why do people insist on trying to enjoy food in a loud and rowdy bar setting when the quiet and lovely dining room is just a skip away? I don't know what all the fuss is about. I've never had a bad experience here.

    Not a fan. Went with friends and felt the drinks were overpriced and watered down. We ordered food but left early when we got a little attitude.... not an inviting place for "everyone" Im sorry to say.

    Joey's is one of my favorite restaurant. I always order creamy chicken alfredo with some bread. I think service is depend on the server. I get good service everytime though.

    The novelty wore off from the first trip hear last year. Expensive drinks and weak doubles (e.g. $40 for 3 jamesons!) Worst manhattan or Olf Fashioned I've had, couldn't tell what was in that glass. Waitresses too hot to bother chatting with group of guys long enough to get the drink order correct. Total Sausage-fest.

    WHAT HAPPEN?? This used to be my go to place for my favorite dessert and late dinner but I went there last night after a few months of not going there and I couldn't have been more disappointed. We ordered the molten lava cake and was told that they got a new oven so that it will take a while and that the chocolate might not be all the way melted in the center. They never told me that the oven was a shrink oven!! The cake came out half its size and the ice cream had half melted already so it was mixing in with the other sauces! It was a great picture....== I am sure I will go back sooner or later but this is keeping me away for a while!

    I like Joey's, I have been here now for a few business lunches and all the ladies are friendly and know how to treat customers. The food is good...its not mind blowing but the service is very good and everyone is friendly. I have never had a complaint in any of my business meetings.

    Why do people keep complaining about the "vibe" and the "crowd"? I'd rather sit in a frat house than a homeless shelter. If you are comfortable with who you are, you'll be less let down by the people around you. The food is AWESOME. I had the most amazing soup and salad in my life. Everything my friends ordered was exquisitely presented and very flavorful. The ambience is very chic. The waiters and waitresses are tastefully dressed. The location is convenient. The price is reasonable. I'm very forgiving to everything else as long as the food is good, and to me, Joeys' food clouded my judgement.

  • Todd A.

    Yeah what can you say this place is just comfortable to have a nice business dinner in heart of Bellevue without the restaurant "getting in the way" of the business discussion. It is a safe bet that most will find something on the expansive menu that they can eat and the food is good enough. Obvioously the service here is the thing and we always have a good waiter. Although on this last visit you could tell the guy was a used to making his money as a model because he must have been posing through most of elementary school. Not a sharp one! Everyone is happy when we go there and that is hard to find in a business group.

    I am a regular here. I really like this place. Yes it has some draw backs but overall my experience is great. The food is consistently good, although I wish they had more variety though. The service... like most places in Seattle/Bellevue it depends on the waiter/bartender. Most are really good but occasionally they have people that don't get the basics. I usually provide this feedback directly to the managers (no better person to give constructive feedback to). The crowd can get stupid at time (especially weekends). I simply don't go in when it looks like a frat house. ======common feedback======= I am adding the following to relevant reviews to bring attention to this issue. There are systemic issues with Seattle/Bellevue restaurants related to timely service that needs to be addressed. If this review has this section, it simply means I've seen this happen at this location and I like this place enough that I want to see this improve since I go there often (otherwise I simply would not return). 1. there are times that the bartender will be busy doing things behind the bar and wont break that concentration until someone calls on him/her. This is unacceptable. Unless this is a club, I should not have to chase you down. Pay attention to your customers. Don't wait for someone else to attend to a customer. I know people here do not know how to tip... but that attention does go a long way. For me at least... it means the different between a 15% tip and 25% tip. 2. when dining, there are times that I do not see someone for really long time or they are "busy" that I cannot get there attention. I should not have to hunt down a waitress every time I need something. . ======common feedback=======

    It's nice to go to a restaurant and have your expectations met. You'd think that's not asking a lot, but lately... After 10 years of living in Bellevue, we finally gave Joey's a try. Odd, because it's right there in Mallville. The atmosphere was very comfortable. The service was spot on. And the food was delicious. What more could we ask for? Apparently, this is a lot to ask for, judging by the typical experience around these parts. I had the Sushi Cones. Yummy app, sushi rice and a tempura shrimp wrapped in what seems to be phyllo dough, with avocado, cucumber, etc. Didn't strike me as authentically Japanese, but it was delicious, and beautifully presented. Family had burgers, and they raved about the flavors. They're picky with their burgers, I tell you. I had the Ahi tuna salad. Seared ahi in a wasabi mayo sauce with an Asian salad (shredded lettuce, carrot, peanuts, rice noodles, etc.) beautifully presented with a citrus dressing of some sort. I devoured it. Everyone in the staff was delightful. The place has a full bar and a great selection of beer. I bet it's a great lunch spot.

    Met up with a client here for happy hour and didn't really know what to expect given I had just moved to the area. Good drinks, good food, good service. I've been back a few times already and will continue to go back. Dress is above casual but nothing fancy. Price is not bad unless you drink quite a bit. Good spot to hang out.

    i think i'm getting old. i used to tease my parents that they were "old" when they started complaining about how load a place was. this place is offensively loud. not only that, our waitress smelled like a perfume factory and i had to send a dirty martini back twice. i won't go back unless i'm forced by coworkers.

    I have been to Joey's a handful of times, and truthfully, they have done a great job every time. The first time I went there I went with a group. We had drinks, a bottle of wine, and food. Everyone paid with cash, except me, who put my portion on my debit card. A few days later when reviewing my bank account, I noticed that my debit card had been charged for the ENTIRE transaction. Gearing up for a battle (cause I assumed since my friends paid with cash that it could be hard to prove) I called them, explained the situation and they said "Oh yes, we see that you only signed for $xx.xx. We'll go ahead and credit you the whole amount, we're so sorry about the mistake." EASY! On Thursday I was back again, and we were seated immediately. Our server was AWESOME. She was so friendly and knowledgeable! Further, she gave suggestions on what she liked. (I always love when servers have an opinion on the food they serve!) She came to check on us the appropriate amount of times, and was sweet throughout the entire time we ate there. I ordered a dirty vodka martini - which was perfect, and the French Dip sandwich with a side of vegetables. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and I loved that the vegetables included various squashes... very new and different! My boyfriend (a vegetarian) didn't see very many veggie friendly dishes, but got a salad and some Gorgonzola bread. They brought the bread out really early, and since our server said that she asked the kitchen to have everything ready at the same time, brought us out MORE bread when the rest of our food came! What's even cooler was that she explained how they made that bread, which I thought was interesting. All in all, I have never had a bad experience there. For consistent great, friendly service, I give them 5 stars!

    Food is great and well varied. The atmosphere is a bit on the trendy side, a lot of hot waitresses working here as well. Lots of young people around but I tend to like quieter atmospheres so I generally try to get a seat near the edge or a booth. Had good food and lots of fun drinks every time I've been here. One of the better places in Bellevue for trendy/upscale/expensive restaurants.

  • Eric K.

    Since this place opened I have been here a couple of times for food. Although my ex raved about the food and other people have liked it I've never had a great meal here (except my one meal at the southcenter location). So at some point I just stopped coming here. And it stayed that way until Tuesday night when a friend and I stopped by to get some drinks at the bar. Earl's was quite dead but Joey's bar was packed so we decided on Joey's. We ended up with two cramped chairs at the bar which worked out OK since my friend is super cute. I had the vodka coke which is a happy hour special. It came with some kind of floating mass which my friend affectionately termed "the floater". The vodka was very weak and the drink started to taste like a weird coke slushy shortly after I got it. On the plus side there were a lot of characters there. That included a guy sitting at the bar talking to his hand. I'm not sure what the hand was saying but it sure was a lively conversation. I have a feeling they were discussing War & Peace and health care reform. Unfortunately I left Joey's no longer recommending the food or the drinks. Seriously if you are going to have a happy hour with drinks with just two ingredients do them right, otherwise I'm not going to be willing to try anything else.

    I went to Joey (which I called Joey's all week accidentally but it sounds better anyway...) a few times last week while I was staying at the Hyatt across the street for business. It's a pretty fun bar/restaurant with a good selection of food and drinks. I didn't care for either wine I tried (the syrah and cab both from Washington) but the food was good (especially the yam fries). I liked the overall vibe/scene and the numerous TVs (although it would have been nice if they showed more than one game at a time). It seems like they only hire really good looking waitresses which isn't necessarily a plus to me, but hey, I know someone would care about that! I'll definitely go back next time I'm staying at the Hyatt.

    If you need a place for a business party or other event this is the place. It's trendy but casual enough in food and atmosphere to really have a great time. Great drinks, good prices, don't miss the Viva salad. We had a Christmas business party for 15 with a wonderful variety of treats and drinks. Comfortable chairs and booths, great staff, good looking crowd, busy bar scene, good music, an easy walk from the hotel or mall. Dr. & Mrs Hodges

    the good: ambiance is nice and the decor is simple yet elegant. the new manager was personable...he came by our table to check if everything was going okay and introduced himself to our table. it was short and sweet, not bothersome. the mediocre: overpriced food and beverages...the menu selection is standard and the food is standard, but the prices are above average. The service can also be mediocre, depending on the server, where you are seated, and how many people you are with...Obviously, I'd like to see more consistency in the service. the bad: I want to forewarn everyone of their nachos!!! They are Terrifyingly HOT...It really hurt to even drink water. also, this place seems to be a hangout spot for men...it's kinda gross to see old men oogling over their waitresses overall, the taste of the food was bleh, the prices were not worth it, the ambiance and decor sort of makes up for the "mediocre-ness" of this place. I'll probably give it another chance. I'll be sure to come back on yelp again and re-review. :-)

    I normally come here for drinks and try to make it for HH. The location is centralized in the heart of downtown Bellevue the corner of NE 8th St and Bellevue Way. Adjacent is Lincoln Square and Bellevue Square Mall. So you are pretty much walking distance to everything in Bellevue. I went here to meet up with my friends and grab a few drinks. The staff was somewhat friendly like my other reviews some of them seem to me a little bit stuck up. I really don't know why but you have to have excellent customer service if you plan to work here. The bartenders were great though. They attended to your needs and made sure you got what you wanted. For a busy weeknight it flowed smoothly. The food was ok I wasn't too impressed with some of them. It wasn't like it was a "Wow" to me. It is a normal cuisine if you ask me. But the dessert was pretty good.

    I hadn't been to Joeys in nearly 5-6 years. A buddy of mine suggested we go for lunch so we ended up there the other day. My expectations weren't very high but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly, which apparently is the theme of the place. I felt very comfortable with the hostess and our server; both incredibly polite and outgoing at the same time. They had a lunch menu separate from the dinner menu (which is what we ordered from). It is located in a nice location and has a clean modern decor. I ordered the Better Beef Dip sandwich, which is essentially a roast beef sandwich with au jus and horseradish. One word: PHENOMENAL. The bread was toasted and flaky. The roast beef was thinly shaved and had the perfect level of chewiness/tenderness. It also came with a side of shoestring fries, which were the perfect compliment to the flavorful focus of the plate. I would highly recommend this place and would absolutely go back. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that for $11.99, it is a little pricey considering that it is JUST a sandwich with a side of fries. if you don't mind slightly overpaying for good food and great service, this an excellent spot to go!

    Although not originally from here, this place screams downtown Bellevue - attractive and pretentious. The good: one star goes to their drinks (particularly the stoked vodka coke!), one star goes to the chocolate molten lava cake (aka soufflé heaven!) and one star for the ambiance (nicely dimmed decor.) The bad: the food is nothing to write home about. I had my 21st bday dinner at the S Lake Union location and it tasted good. 3 years have passed and either the food quality dropped or every other downtown Bellevue restaurant tastes like this. The crowd is usually a bunch of young professionals grabbing a beer or something (more a neutral than a bad.) The ugly: let's face it - the waitresses are attractive, the people are attractive, and the bathroom looks very swanky-hotel-like. Not a whole lot of ugly here.

  • Dennis M.

    First time at Joey's. Service was better then the food. Staff here is obviously well trained and customer service focused. I'm giving 3 stars mostly because of the food. Had the signature Blue cheese fries. Fries were hot, fresh, and overly greasy. The sliders lack imagination. Simply a burger, pickle, and russian dressing. The best was the Hibachi chic wings. Unique flavor, and just the right portion size. The ambiance and decor is well thought out. Loud at the bar, quiet and casual at the table. I'd go again but next time only for the drinks.

    We came here with a group for my birthday!! The service was fantastic. We sat out side and it was gorgeous! The drinks were creative The appetizers were delicious... I hate wings and I had a couple..they were awesome! I just had the sushi and it was really good. Im so glad we went there on my birthday they took great care of us!!

    Alright, so this rating is completely based on the service. I've been to Joey's in Southcenter and have always enjoyed my experience there. So my husband and I arrive and the hostess brings us to a nice booth off to the corner and gave us menus because we asked. Another group of girls and guys arrive 5-10 minuted later and sit at a table in front of us. 10-15 minutes after we sat a waitress takes our drink order... 20 minutes later another girl brings us our drinks. Meanwhile, the table near us never had anyone greet them and I never saw them have a chance to order drinks. We could tell they weren't getting any service either. We finished our drinks and left. I was really excited to eat one their delicious flat bread pizzas but I wasn't trying to wait for ever before having the chance to enjoy it. It was a Friday night and they were definitely not under staffed that evening. The ambiance was excellent. Seemed like a cool crowd there. Although my experience was very disappointing.

    I have been a semi regular the past year, been there about 10-15 times, and not a single time have I been disappointed. very well poured drinks, very well proportioned meals, great pricing for what you are getting and the people that serve you and the people that surround you at the other tables are the people I want to be around. Yeah, it's a bit more upscale then some places, but that is the point, sometimes it's not the food and the drinks that are the only thing you are paying for... sometimes its not having to sit near a bunch of kids or people that stink or other unmentionable sociey issues. I just want to be in a nice place with nice people and that is Joey in a nutshell. Great job Chris on the menu too! Great seafood tacos, sliders, calamari... I have eaten so many things there... Love it. Even hosted an event there once for 10 of my best mates and it was awesome. Can't praise it enough

    Good, Reasonably Priced Food (For Downtown Bellevue): Been going here since it opened. The decor has a nice "evening" feel with plenty of booths, slightly dimmed lights and no flashing sports signs or loud, silly music. There generally is a wait during Friday/Saturday dinner service, but they tend to be pretty accurate with their time quotes. It is technically a casual dress restaurant, but most people are tend to be in Bellevue Casual (dress shirt, dress shoes, $100 jeans). You will probably feel a little out of place in flip flops and a tshirt (and if you are please go to McDonalds). The bar tends to have the whole Bellevue "in crowd" feel. But the dining room is low key. If you go here regularly you'll probably see local sports stars at some point... Service is generally good and attentive. They fix mistakes quickly although that doesn't happen to me often. Food is good with their basic steak frites having a good basic presentation (and they actually cook the steak right based upon the normal grades). Dip sandwich is good, too. Their drinks are a little pricey, but their frozen drinks are awesome and they have a good assortment of mixed drinks that seem to make sense (compared to the crazy 10 ingredient ones you see at the flashing beer sign restaurants). You gotta try this place at least once if you regularly in Bellevue.

  • Jon D.

    I'm a bit torn on Joey's. Let's see if I can properly put into words why... The food here's not half bad. Actually pretty good. I've sampled several of the things off the menu and I've yet to be disappointed. Sliders are good. Pepper beef was nice. The ahi tacos that I had this last time were awesome - however, they should consider soft tortillas instead of hard ones. So, I give 'em good marks for the food. Drinks are pretty decent. Good selection. Not overly priced. Not watered down. Good marks on this too. All of the girls that work here are stunning. Joey's must have some serious appearance requirements for girls who want a job here. And added bonus - they're actually pretty sweet most of the time ;-) Unexpectedly good marks here. The scene at Joey's however - kinda lame. Bit of a sausage-fest. (cue stunning waitstaff...) Way too many dudes here trying way too hard to impress and just looking kinda silly in the process. (cue hysterical Flight of the Conchords song...) Poor marks for the scene. I've been here on a weeknight however - completely different scene. Not bad at all. It's just the Friday and Saturday night's that kinda knock down Joey's a couple of stars. Unless of course - that's your scene. If it is - by all means, Joey's is definitely a hip and happenin' spot. Just doesn't happen to be my scene. Good food, good service, gorgeous waitstaff - 4 stars. Minus one for rude people hanging here on the weekends. I'll still go back though. Just probably on a Sun-Thurs.

    After a very long day of running around, my husband and I landed here for a late dinner. Located in the heart of downtown Bellevue, this restaurant had a really cool vibe and was full of people out for drinks on a Saturday night. The bar in the front of the restaurant was pretty packed by about 9:30, and had nice lighting, good music, and really friendly cocktail waitresses. Since we were there for a quiet dinner, we waited about 20 minutes in the front lobby for a table in the dining room. Our waitress was very friendly and brought drinks out pretty quickly. My husband ordered the Better Beef Dip sandwich with Au Jus and immediately began raving about how great it was on the first bite. I follow a gluten-free diet, and was happy to have several choices at this restaurant. I ordered the Rotisserie Chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies, and it was some of the most moist, delicious chicken I've ever had. We were too full to order dessert, but the selections did look good! We will definitely be coming back here with friends, and I hope to hit the bar after dinner next time!

    I hate Joey's. Joey's is the epitome of yuppie Bellevue bullshit. The place is always packed with total douchebags who just left their office where they work as Wall Street wannabes and mortgage consultants. They crowd around to stare at the busty, slutty waitresses, who, by the way, are always total bitches. The prices are ridiculous. The drinks are terrible and anyone who thinks differently has obviously never had a well balanced cocktail. I'm so fucking sick of hearing about how delicious the Supersonic Gin & Tonic is. It's so unoriginal. The only thing this place has going for it is that there's a waiter there who looks exactly like The Rock.

    The original plan was Daniel's Vintage Lounge to watch Game 6 of the World Series. (Go Yankees!) But once we got there, we were told that the lounge was reserved for a wine tasting, so we had to find another place that had TVs to watch the game. Enter Joey's; just downstairs from the steakhouse. I've been here before, on my first visit to Bellevue, and I loved it's upbeat feel. The food was good, reasonably priced, and the staff was very friendly. (And good-looking. They only hire lookers. No, really!) The captain understood our desire to watch the game, which was on many of their flat panels, and she pointed out an open table in the corner of the bar, smack dab in front of a TV. A great seat to enjoy the game, and also shield us a bit from all the tight-space running around the wait staff does. It was noisy, sure, but that's ok - this was like an upscale sports bar that also served a good meal for dinner. A great vibe which really made it an enjoyable dinner! We ordered the italian sausage flatbread pizza for an appetizer, which came out quickly and was very tasty. A bit on the salty side, which I enjoy, but if you are adverse to it, you might want to skip. For dinner, Bonnie had the Chicken Alfredo, which she very much enjoyed, and I had the 12oz Strip Steak, MedRare, of course. The steak was just so-so. At $28, it's right around what I'd expect from a restaurant not known for it's cuts of beef, and up against the likes of the monster steakhouses I've hit since coming out here, it doesn't stand a chance in that regard. But no matter, the steak was well-prepared and well-seasoned, and went great with their outstanding crispy potatoes, with cheese, bacon, and sour cream. After dinner, we stuck around for a while to watch more of the game, and the crowd got more into it as the night went on. We never felt rushed, and were always just a minute away from catching our waitress and getting a refill on our drinks. All in all, a very enjoyable night, and a great place for a quick bite if you don't mind the noise. Disclaimer: There is a quieter, non-bar dinner area of the restaurant, but we sat in the happening bar area.

    My wife and I went here for dinner (Anniversary). We ordered and my food came out wrong. They didnt know it was our anniversary but they fixed everything and bought us desert. I loved that I didn't need to complain. When the food was brought wrong I pointed it out. The waitress appologized and brought me a salad. The manager came over and talked to us. You can really tell how great a place is when something goes wrong and Joey's was top notch. We had a great experience and the food was very good as well. We will definately go back!

    If I was single, it might be 4-stars, but alas I'm not, so I'm not exactly buying what Joey is selling. And I don't really love the food, and you know what, I order a margarita nearly every time and it's always too sweet. That said, if it's the male co-worker in town. To Joey's we go.

    This is one of our favorite Girls' Night Out spots to hit. The atmosphere is quaint and not stuffy. The food is definitely yummy and the cocktails to die for. Perhaps a bit pricey but worth the vibe and perfect for girls night. Recently several girlfriends and I stopped in late hoping to grab a few appetizers and drinks. After we ordered the manager graciously came to check on us and apologize for our food taking so long to prep. We must've all been caught up in chatter because none of us noticed. The manager then thanked us for dining and comp'd all our food. It was above and beyond!! Made a serious impression on all of us! And our server was absolutely delightful. She was funny, kind and very thorough! Love this place. Will be back soon.

    I did not like this place. The Happy Hour sucked, like 3 food items and barely anything off drinks. And it only lasted til 5pm. Pretty dumb when most other bars in the area have a Happy Hour til at least 6pm. Our waitress was pretty rude and unattentive. And the set up of the bar was crowded and made it hard to even get up to go to the restroom. Earl's, Pearl, Palomino and Daniel's are all WAY better choices for a drink, snack and to hang out at. Can't speak for dinner, as we just hung out for Happy Hour. But based on the bar, I would not return for dinner.

    Come here for Stella Fridays, Hoegarden Sat. and Gringo Sundays almost every week. They come in big glasses that I think are worth the $5 price. The food here is pretty decent also, but some of it is hit or miss, especially for the price. The wings are really dry unless you drench them in sauce but the sushi and wraps are definitely worth the price for the most part. The service is pretty good because there are always waitresses walking around and they'll stop by your table and ask if you need anything even if they're not your server which is really nice making it so you never don't have a drink at your table. Some of the girls have given me dirty looks which is never good.

    Joey's got some of the best steaks! Absolutely love their food, although their ahi tuna was a little on a well done side and the waiter assured me that's how it is (hmm).. but it was still good. It's not cheap, but well worth it!

    One liner: Great food, great location, great ambiance, great staff! Had the blue cheese fries and a tilamook cheddar burger. The burger was great, the addition of an aged cheddar was very nice. The blue cheese fries are really as good as the other reviewers said! Fantastic! Unrelated to the food, the waitstaff at Joeys is probably one of the best looking staff I have seen! In a very classy sort of way, guys and the gals... And this was a Tuesday night. Joeys has the whole package. Well done.

    After not visiting Joey Bellevue for quite some time my return visit was refreshing. They have remodeled the dining area and expanded the lounge...I could not be more pleased with the adjustments/remodel. This is a great place to relax and have a drink/dinner. As a matter of fact, Rachel (My Wife) the ultimate critic, loves it too...and that is saying someting. Bellevue is a target rich environment with plenty of spots to spend your money...Joey's Bellevue is worthy.

    So, um, did you know that pretty much everything in Bellevue Square closes at 8 pm on Sunday? I just found that out last weekend, when a visiting friend and I tried to do some evening shopping and were thwarted. Obviously there was nothing else to do but find somewhere to booze it up and overeat, but there seemed to be nothing but cheesy chain restaurants as far as the eye could see. And then, off in the distance, we saw it: "Joey's? What is that? Is that like a front for the mob?" asked my friend. I thought it looked like a hotel bar, but as we got closer and I saw the undulating glass wall and the swanky, dimly-lit interior, I started to worry whether my lime-green hoodie and I would be welcome in this possibly-Mafia-run joint. Not to worry, the staff was super-friendly from start to finish: the host handed us a menu to check out and walked us through it, explaining his favorite foods, and the waiters were perfectly nice and not at all snooty about my less-than-fancy look. My friend started with the simple green salad of field greens, cranberries, almonds, feta, and vinaigrette ($5), which she said was good. She had the Pesto Chicken Quesadilla ($11), which came with a little bowl of shoestring fries and two dipping sauces, and also met with her seal of approval. My Bombay Butter Chicken ($15) came in a medium-sized bowl, with a scoop of basmati rice on the side, a pappadum (but no dipping sauce!), and two long wedges of grilled garlic naan, which were so buttery and garlicky that they really just tasted like garlic bread - not that that's bad. The butter chicken was fine, except it was bizarrely heavy on the red and green peppers, which are not ingredients I associate with this dish. The portions were generous, but not overwhelmingly huge. For dessert, my friend had the apple pie with maple ice cream ($7), which turned out to be a personal-pizza-sized flaky tart, which she devoured gleefully. I asked for just a scoop of the ice cream, which isn't on the menu but which they happily provided. We also had mismatched fruity drinks with our meals - her strawberry lemon drop ($9) was so good she had another, and I enjoyed my Royale ($10), a champagne cocktail with blackberry syrup and a creepy-looking, but tasty, candied hibiscus flower lurking in the bottom. The daily drink "specials" aren't very special, so it's not a place I would really go for drinks, unless the happy hour deals are truly amazing. It turns out that Joey's is in fact yet another chain restaurant, but it looks and feels a step above your typical family fare - more like P.F. Chang's than Claim Jumper, if you know what I'm saying. It's a little on the pricey side, but the food is tasty and generously portioned, and the service is friendly and helpful. If you find yourself stranded in Bellevue when ye olde town curfew strikes, drink and eat the night away at Joey's!

    Went here with a group of girls for a birthday dinner. It is a beautiful restaurant and i loved the location in down town Bellevue; The service, not so much. we had made reservations for 6:30 and didn't get sat until 7. Once we arrived at our table, we didn't see a waitress for about 20 more minutes, until asking someone to possible take our drink orders. once our drinks were out we quickly ordered our food only getting small plates because ordering anything more and we would have probably stayed there all night. The food was not worth the price and overall it was a mediocre experience. I don't think any of us will be visiting again.

    Bellevue certainly has grown the past few years, all these new restaurants, bars, nite life etc. Joey's well... my husband and I have been there a few times and at first we liked it. The eye candy was OK for Bellevue.. not like its Miami or LA or anything but some of the people were ok looking both men and women. However it has the snooty pretentious 30 year old behavior to it. Its loud and rude and busy and SLLLOOOOWWWWWWW GOD if you want a couple drinks and you are there for happy hour you better order ALL your drinks at once or you will wait HOURS to get another one. The biggest issue with Joey's is that there is only ONE bar, and that bar services BOTH the restaurant and the Bar area... that said .. the restaurant always takes priority over the bar.. so if the place is busy than you might wait at least an hour for a second drink or 30-45 min for your first because they will always serve the restaurant drinks first... to me that is weird and NOT ok. I am here for happy hour because i want quick service, lots of it and I want it with a smile! The drinks are expensive and the happy hour menu is nice but expensive too. I think happy hour should make you happy by offering cheap items on the menu and cheap drinks.. but restaurants, esp around here dont seem to be doing that much anymore... I am not sure why people around here flock to places like this when the happy hour times are dumb and the happy hour prices dont make me happy at all. Now on a positive note its right in the heat of Bellevue where everything is hopping these days. You get validated parking in the Hyatt garage and the last time we were here and we complained about the service the manager was wonderful to us and gave a coupon for free drinks on our next visit. The woman that work there all look about the same, they wear the same tight low cut, short dresses and smile at you like they dont have a brain in their head. The place is LOUD and again if you sit at the bar no one really speaks to you, they all look away and its hard to strick up a conversation unless you are with your own group of friends. Not sure if i recommend this place or not... its ok a few times but its not someplace we frequent.

    Great place for an intimate happy hour. Trendy atmosphere, was busy but not packed during the after-work rush. Happy hour food is over-priced and I can see why guys enjoy coming here -most of the wait staff servicing the bar area are female. Place really is 3.5 stars: 3-stars for the food alone. .5 extra star for the prompt service and drinks. Hibachi style wings: Don't bother, pieces are small and were over-cooked. Chinatown Lettuce wraps: Quite tasty! Would order again, but gets messy. Blue cheese fries: Good, but Palomino's Gorgonzola waffle-cut fries are MUCH better. Cheese burger sliders: meh, pass. Spongebob awesomeness: There is nothing "Adios" about their AMF Margaritas. After 2, my friend and I went to our "usuals". BAH!

    They have fun/spunky drink specials - super sonic vodka tonic, and super nova vodka soda are two of my fave. I enjoy their happy hour, as their prices are a little steep for my wallet. Happy Hour food is good as well - the nachos are superb. The Desserts and appetizers are way better than the actual dinner meals (which is why I prefer the bar over the actual restaurant). A little classier than your average happy hour location - typically where 8-5 workers join up after work to grab a drink and get away from the boss. the bar can sometimes be crowed and have a wait, but overall I enjoy going to Joey's to grab a drink and some grub.

    So you have a few different options when it comes to Joeys. Lake Union, Southcenter, or Bellevue. The food is great, and like every restaurant chain, the reason that you keep coming back is their food is dependable. You know what to expect (e.g. Starbucks). I choose the Bellevue location because it's a little more classy than the other 2 locations. You're typically going to eat alongside a Microsoft crowd that flocks in from their Lincoln Square campus after work but the atmosphere has a lot better ambiance than any of their other locations. If the staff makes a mistake, they'll make it right which is admirable for any food establishment. Southcenter has a younger crowd but why I like them is their outdoor seating experience is better than the other locations. As far as the Lake Union location it's pretty good but on any given Friday or Saturday you'll probably run into scantly clad club heads that are pre-funking before hitting the Seattle night scene. I'm not really into that so I stick with the tried and true Bellevue location. Check it out sometime.

    I normally go to Joey's just for drinks but recently went for dinner with some girlfriends. We were able to get seating in the bar right away which was nice because we waited for 20 minutes at Palominos before we left for something quicker. We immediately were greeted by out waitress who took our drink orders. I ordered the extremely yummy, strong and slushy Super Sonic which I highly recommend if you are into gin. YUM YUM! For dinner I ordered the chicken Cesar which was great! The chicken was tender and seasoned properly and there was a perfect amount of delicious dressing on it. I ate every bite! My girlfriend ordered the lobster ravioli and loved hers as well. We had great service, it was fun to people watch and the food was fantastic. The only reason I am giving it a 4 out of 5 is because the bar was so loud it was hard to talk, but we could have always sat in the restaurant.

    Came here on a Saturday night with some friends. The place was pretty packed, but still had room, so that was cool. People were nice and the place was cool, but nothing special. I didn't try the food so I can't say anything about it.

    Im completely blown away by the service here! Seriously, try to get Margaret bc she might just be the best waitress on the planet, no exaggeration :) I rarely leave a 40% tip but felt it appropriate. Way to go Joeys for hiring amazing staff. HH is very lively here, not exactly a cheap eat but nicely done. Good drink selections, beers were $3.99. Pomegranate Mojito so good. Really good lava souffle btw... would definitely get that again. Fun place for happy hour for sho, 4 and 1/2 stars for me. :)

    So, I noticed a lot of the ratings on here are service related, which I can relate to. But what I find odd is that a lot of people actually LIKED the food. The food at Joey's is sub par at best. I just got back from a dinner there and I went straight to my laptop to write this because I could not believe how bad it all was. We had a party of 6 and almost everyone's dish came out incorrect. One dish, the server actually forgot to put in to the kitchen. I ordered a burger figuring that would be safe. I like my burgers on the rare side and ordered accordingly. The burger came out well done. The same thing happened with my sister's steak. Most of the meals we ordered were just bad (whether cooked too long and dry, or just not tasty) With Chris Mills as their Executive Chef, I am a little bit shocked that this level of quality is allowed. I also see a lot of praise for Joey's gluten free menu. They seem to pride themselves on it, however do not have gluten free buns for their burgers - Red Robin even has that. Speaking of things they don't have, they don't have real iced tea. They do not brew their iced tea. I was a little bit put off by that being that Joey's IS a nice looking place in an upscale area of town. I can get brewed iced tea at McDonalds but not at Joey's. I thought the food came out quickly enough, except the soup our server forgot to put in. When the soup came, it was on the house by the way, but it didn't matter because my father said it was so bad that he didn't even eat it. If you take anything away from this review, you should consider that it's one thing for one person be disgruntled and have a bad experience at a restaurant, but in this case, all 6 of the people in my party had a very bad experience at Joey's. In fact, they each urged me to write this review in the first place. I was going to give Joey's 2 stars at first because after they fixed my burger, it did taste ok, and the manager did come to our table to take the meals off the check that were bad/incorrect, but then my brother reminded me that that is par for the course and ANY restaurant would have done that. We DID get charged for the replacement meals, so its not like we were compensated in any way. I was just very surprised at how low quality the food was at a place that appears to be upscale and sophisticated. There are so many other restaurants in the immediate area. I really don't see how Joey's can go on if changes aren't made.

    My only other experience at Joey's was a month ago just stopping by to see some friends at the location in Seattle. Anyway this Joey's in regards to atmosphere feels about the same, but I wasn't a big fan of a good half of the restaurant being windows. I felt like they could've done a bit more, but i'm not a designer so that's just my opinion. However, I'll admit I do like how Joey's is one of the few establishments around here that has a very Vegas like feel inside. Which of course includes how I guess Joey's is known as the "upscale Hooters" *correction thanks to Sean C.* . But to tell you the truth I wasn't too impressed (at least compared to my Seattle Joey's experience). Anyway my food was pretty good, but then again how hard is it to screw up cheddar mushroom cheeseburger right? My gf's Lobster Ravioli we expected to be better considering the price. The Calamari starter though is quite tasty. As for pricing, pricing overall is fair, but yeah plan to spend about $20-30 pp, more if you order multiple drinks etc. Our server was nice when around, but she barely was around to check on anything. That and we were given a really crappy seat next to a door that the kitchen staff used quite often (meaning my girlfriend had to keep her coat on all night) it was really annoying, and supposedly they couldn't close the curtain in front of the door because servers go in/out of there (so why have the curtain?). Anyway my experience overall at Joey's was okay. So I say if you just want to try something new in the Bellevue area it's worth a try, it's nothing I'd heavily recommend for or against. The bar looks quite busy, so that might be the way to go. Oh and just a note, when you do get a table and they call your cellphone, make sure to press the corresponding number in response...otherwise that damn automated system won't stop calling you (regardless if you checked in or not). ~G

    First things first - if you are a heterosexual single guy, you probably won't like this place very much on a Friday or a Saturday night because it is usually 75%-80% guys in here at those times (as are most of the 'club' type places in the Bellevue Square/Lincoln Center DMZ). If you are in a relationship and you bring your significant other, be prepared to keep an eye on her because there are usually several gangs of Faux-Hawked J. Crew Wearing Microsoft Program Managers that are so starved for female attention that the presence of another male will not deter them from attempting a lame come-on. However, with that said, this isn't a bad place to go for a drink. I've been on the aforementioned weekend night and also during the day on a Saturday or a Sunday and I've found the food to be acceptable and it is nice to be able to get a huge glass of draft Hoegaarden. The waitresses are very attentive and friendly as long as you are not incessently hitting on them or asking them what that tattoo on their left breast says. All in all, a pretty fun place to people watch, the food is not bad but a little over priced, and the decor is modern dive bar at its best.

    Recently went there to celebrate a coworker's birthday. The food is consistently good. 4-5 stars. The service? Is the reason for the bad review. It took 2 1/2 hours to eat lunch. Not acceptable! There were multiple stretches of 5, 10, or even 15 minutes where we were sitting there with needs (for appetizers, for food, for desert, for a check) and the waitress was nowhere in sight. It wasn't like they were even particularly busy. Our water glasses were refilled exactly once. She advised one of our party to get the "Evil" chicken salad, saying it wasn't hot. My poor coworker, who has absolutely no spice tolerance, was unable to finish the dish. Overall, cute/hot waitresses, great chefs, zero service mentality. NOT coming back.

    I'm only taking off a star for Joey's because, well, there is no way to put this nice, so here it is: they have tannorexic, Jersey Shore girls serving the food, they are forgetful, and annoying. Period. Other than having my orders occasionally misinterpreted or having an obnoxious, hair tossing Snooki for a server, the food is tasty. They offer a soy based protein replacement for several of their dishes, which wins my heart. Their little shoestring, crispy, epic fries are tasty and hot. And the atmosphere is nice, with a fireplace surrounded by cozy tables and couches. Very comfy.

    OK, you can read the other reviews. If you want to see some very nice ladies this is a great place... As for the food, I have eaten here a few times. And the food in general is average. But I should relate the following story that occurred last month. I was in town with my sales partner who was doing a "fast" for religious reasons. He could only eat certain things and cooked certain ways. Once the waitress was completely confused she brought out the chef, who custom made my partner a meal that ended up looking better than mine. I think the chef's name was Dominic. Kudos to these guys for going above and beyond.

    I've been here twice in the past couple weeks and both times have been disappointing. It's possible I just ran into some bad luck with waitresses, or that this is a more consistent experience with Joey's. Also - I just want to note this is a service review. Food was ok to good all the times I've gone. 1st dinner: I went here on a Wed night and was served by a brand new waitress. She was super nervous and I think we may have been one of her first tables. So there were several slip-ups: bringing the appetizer with the entrees, being overly attentive trying to clear the table when we were obviously not done, and not bringing a pen to sign the credit card receipt for. The waitress was clearly inexperienced and not trained properly by management. When we were about to leave, the manager came by and asked us how our dinner was, and I gave him some feedback. He kindly gave us a coupon for 2 free appetizers to make up for the lackluster service. 2nd dinner: I returned for a Friday night dinner to use the 2 free appetizers. We sat in the bar/lounge area, which was packed and loud (as to expected on a Friday). We ordered drinks: a beer and a tea. The beer came within minutes, and the tea literally took 25 mins. It arrived minutes before the appetizers did. To say the least, I wasn't pleased and our waitress had the nerve to come around and ask if we wanted a refill on the beer, when my tea hadn't even arrived. When I asked about it, she said it' s coming and then proceeded to take another 10mins to bring it... how hard is it to put some hot water in a teapot and bring a teabag?? The food was actually pretty good, but the service was just unbearably slow -tea, food, box for leftovers, check. Ironically, as we were leaving, the hostess asked us how our service was, and I said it was extremely slow. She then gave us a coupon for 2 free drinks -and I'm not even sure if that will be enough to bring me back to Joey's bellevue again. [I have to say, all other locations of Joey's I've been to (Vancouver, Southcenter) have been great, so I'm not quite sure wtf is up with bellevue]

    Noone was decisive, another restaurant has just closed down, and the kid wanted to go no closer to the mall, so we popped in for lunch today. The setting is interesting - walls of glass to the outside, kitchen, and shops in the lobby. My dish, the curry shrimp, was very good, but the rest of the experience was irritating. The music was loud and banal, we had to wait several minutes for a table despite the place being only 10% full, and the calamari seemed to have been sitting a while before we got it. When done, I had to wait several more minutes for a check. The servers all tried to start conversations, whether we responded or not. There are several better choices within a couple of blocks - McCormick & Schmitts, Zendajas, the Rock Bottom Brewery, Mediterranean Kitchen (sorry about the spelling).

    One word- Super Sonic Gin & Tonic - fun place to try different drinks. And yes if you heard the rumor they only hire hot girls it is very true which makes it that much more fun. Beautiful women to look at which draws in beautiful men and it is a win win for all parities involved. Women walk in with confidence & you will have a wonderful time.

    So my New Years resolution was to do something new at least once a week. Last week I tried out a few new restaurants which were all pretty decent. This week I've decided to confront one of my biggest fears (after chickens, clowns, glaciers and milk) and eat alone in public for the first time. Eeeek!! I don't like being in public by myself. I mean I've had a quick lunch by myself but never anything as epic as eating a full, nice dinner alone. I know I told y'all January 6 2009 would go down in history as the day with the worst traffic ever. January 7 was about equally epic on the bad traffic scale. I got my haircut after work and checked the traffic status to find it was red on 90 and 520 and I-5. Ick. Instead of sitting in traffic forever and a day I decided it would be a great idea to stay in Bellevue and have dinner. Have dinner alone. Yes. I made my way through the jam packed lounge and snagged a stool at the bar. I went with a Super Sonic Gin and Tonic and contemplated what I would have to eat. Soup sounded good, pasta sounded good, salmon sounded good. Everything sounded good! Since this was a monumental occasion I decided a momentous meal was in order so I went all out and ordered the Fillet. For the price I paid for my steak I probably should have just gone upstairs in the same building and eaten at Dan's Broiler, but the steak was nonetheless delicious--the epitome of moist, juicy, tender and medium-rare! The Loaded Potatoes that were served with it were as good as I remember. If you haven't had the pleasure of eating Loaded Potatoes they're mashed potatoes wrapped up in a phylo dough type thing... sort of like a potato egg roll. They're topped with bacon and sour cream! Very delicious. As always I found the service to be pleasant and the food tasty. Joey's is sort of a guilty pleasure for me. It's not amazing, but for some reason I love coming here. Maybe it's the girls? Maybe it's the food? Maybe it's the drinks? Who knows what it is, but I quite like it here. By the time I finished the traffic wasn't too bad and I did something new this week! The question now is what new thing do I do next week?

  • Suzanna F.

    So... Joey's has this drink called the Super Stoked Vodka Coke. I highly recommend it! Last night my group of friends and I consumed a total of 12 of these fantastic libations (or ssvcs). We've even tried to replicate them at home! The atmosphere is just right if you are looking for something a little classier, but not too stuffy. It can be difficult getting a table in the bar - you usually have to hover a bit and pounce when someone leaves. Once you get a spot though, you're good to go! I've been really appreciative of their excellent service in particular. They are great about making sure my chicken souvlaki (yum!) comes sans tzatziki sauce. And the one time they forgot, they left me the fries and then quickly brought me out an entirely new plate of food (including a second bowl of fries!). Also, apparently the fried mashed potatoes are amazing - my friends always order extra servings of them!

    Visited this bar/restaurant last week while on duty @ Redmond, WA. This place is hip, w/ lots of hot crew, excellent appetizers (ahi tacos, chicken wings, beef strips), tasty & strong drinks (ie: spa cosmo, thai lover), plasma displays playing (tennis, football, basketball),... Bellevue IMHO is not a commonly known city for partying (yet). They've got other hip joints such as Daniels, 08 Lounge, Palomino, Pearl, Vertigo, Lucky Strike, New Irish Bar (under construction), ... We had a blast! Imma be a regular of these spots after hours every time i'm on duty in Redmond.

    Being that I have never been to this place before, it wasn't bad at all. For New Year's Eve and not taking reservations, we were able to get a table for six without much wait (especially when places like Red Robin were booked entirely). The hostesses may be pretty and dressed nice but they seemed a little clueless. Ah well, I didn't come for them anyhow. I ordered the Evil Jungle Salad and it was really tasty. It was rather large and I ate the whole thing. The other two ladies I was with also had the same salad with similar results. How evil! ;) I think the overall atmosphere was pleasant enough. It was open and I didn't feel super crowded, but then again we were in a booth. I think if we had gotten a table on the floor area I would have gotten annoyed with the people constantly bumping my seat as they went past. The walkways could use to be widened for the staff. I don't find myself rushing out to go back in the immediate future, that has probably more to do with my limited budget than anything. It didn't offend me so greatly that I will never go back. I want to try their Ahi tuna.

    Happy hour food is ok nothing to write home about. On most nights you'll see a young fun crowd that at times gets to be too much for me personally. You'll see plenty of guys that have fake tans and spikey hair and girls that are anything but sweet and friendly but sometimes that's the crowd in Bellevue. The happy hour drinks are pretty good and the patio is nice as well. I just like bars with personality and this is a corporate spot all the way the staff is presentable friendly and attractive but you don't get that feeling that you've arrived at a place that you can come to call home.

    Business casual style all the way. Comfortable casual atmosphere, straightforward menu with enough interesting items to have something for everyone. Nothing to drive out of the way for, but a great place for a casual drink and dinner. The meals were fine - not great, but not bad. Overall I liked the reasonable prices and interesting menu and atmosphere. I will go there again next time I stay at the Hyatt since it is just across the street, but probably would not eat there again otherwise.

    The bar at this place is ALWAYS packed! OMG we went here on a tuesday before, and a sunday, OMG it's always PACKED in the bar. Folks here like their football game for sure, this place get so noisy when the game's on, which was ok with me. However, when it get busy and loud you tend to get forget by your waitress....and your items get lost...and you keep on having to look for her...and the food came out not as good as it did the time you were there before.............. anyway, overall the food quality was ok, the atmosphere was pretty cool, cool place to hang and drink on a game night ;)

    we met up with some new friends for dinner on a weekday evening. is it me or does this place seem like it's trying too hard? like it's trying to be a trendy hollywood restaurant in the middle of bellevue...it just makes me cringe a little. i had read the reviews about this place before i went so i was expecting drop dead gorgeous waitresses/hostess. our waitER (a guy) was ok looking, i guess. the service was pretty good. the hostess on the other hand...we walked in knowing that our friends had already gotten a table and so we asked where they had been seated. she said, "oh, we just sat them but i'm not sure where. you can just walk around the dining room and look for them." WTF?! so hubby and i are wandering around the semi-dark dining room looking for our friends. i didn't think that was necessary. sorta lazy and rude on her part not to find out herself and seat us. it's not like it was busy. we started out drinks. i tried the ginger margarita...not good. friend had the blackberry martini and said it was sickly sweet. hubby had the super gin and tonic and said it was ok. nothing too special. the food was ok...i had the ribs, hubby had the panang curry, friends had steak and ahi tuna tacos. they said theirs was ok. my ribs were a little too sweet for my taste. hubby's curry was ok. we had the banana chocolate bread pudding for dessert and friends had the apple pie. the desserts were better than the entrees, in my opinion. there were a couple other dishes i wanted to try so i might go back one of these days but i'm in no hurry...

    I SHAKE MY FIST AT YOU, JOEY'S! I've been making fun of you and your asstastic staff for a couple of YEARS now. Every girl I've met who has worked for Joey's is the type of girl I avoided in high school: social piranhas who developed early in the bust and late in the brain. So I avoided your restaurant with its Canadian-chain roots and barely-legal waitstaff, because I figured it would be a regrettable food experience--much like Bonefish or The Outback. Nobody told me you had buttery gorgonzola toast the size of my face, though. NO ONE THOUGHT TO MENTION IT. The fact that it was a veritable BRICK of gorgonzola-loving goodness makes your restaurant 4-stars... even if the rest of the food was fair-to-middlin'. I was impressed with the prompt service (I pretended our hot young server was saving money for law school), even though the younger, hotter hostess was the smallest (in size) yet largest (in attitude) stuck-up bitch I've ever had the pleasure of hating. It's pricier than I thought, and it's not my kind of regular place, but I will definitely go back for the toast. It occurs to me, though, that this kind of review is a positive if you're a guy: hot girls, serviceable food, a nicer decor than Claim Jumper's... so if you're a single guy, head to Joey's... and if you're a single gal, find a restaurant with equally hot male servers (or check out my review of Tempero do Brasil--those men are adorable!). You'd never know I have a boyfriend.

    Came here on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm. I thought they offered happy hour specials since the bar area was packed but they don't, so we ended up sitting at a booth in the main seating area. Like you may have read in previous reviews this place is packed with DB's in collared shirts. Started off with the blue cheese french fries, which everyone on Yelp raved about. When the fries were dropped off on our table some waiter said to be careful because the plate was hot (automatic negative point right there.) Clearly the fries were sitting under a heat lamp for some time since the plate was extremely hot but the fries were all soggy. That was boo. For dinner I had the Ahi Tuna sandwich (sub avocado for bacon at no charge, bonus!) and instead of fries had a side caesar salad. It was pretty tasty and filling. My friends had the sliders and another friend had the Pesto seafood linguini. They liked it but were a bit surprised that the pesto wasn't actually made out of basil, olive oil and pine nuts, but instead some weird vegetable concoction. We ended the night by sharing the chocolate molten cake which was good but not great. (With only three desserts to choose from on the menu, one would think it would have tasted a lot better.) Probably the best things about Joey's were my ahi sandwich and our server. He was really cool, gave suggestions on what to order and what not to order, and checked in on us quite a few times. I likely won't go here again since it was only ok and there are no happy hour specials unlike Mccormick and Schmick's which is pretty much right next door.

    Went here with my girlfriends last night and it was delicious! Excellent service and all of our food was amazing. I had the green salad and California Chicken Burger (which was tender and had a really yummy spicy mayo!). I really liked that they had signature drinks for each day of the week! Got the 'Really Fuzzy Navel' and it was very tasty and not too weak/strong. I really liked the atmosphere too. Young crowd, upbeat popular music playing, and a separate bar area so it was loud but not overwhelming. I'd definitely go here again for dinner or drinks!

    THis is my favorite Joey's in the Seattle area! This one has a more cody bar with lounge and bar area, with TV's a great bartenders and waittresses. The food is excellent and the resturant is spacious and clean. This is a perfect place to date a date.

    Joey's is one of the few places I've been more than once since moving to Washington. The ahi tuna tacos and hibachi wings are worth the trip alone. Waitresses are usually hot..food is consistent...drinks are delicious. Great for a girls night or dinner with the boy. Definitely recommend it!

    So, Joey's is definitely a place where people like to go & be seen in Bellevue, or so it seems. It definitely has its fair share of eye candy, which makes for interesting people watching while dining or drinking. My friend talked me into going here because she said the food was really good. I was fairly taken aback by this statement because never would I expect Joey's to have decent food. I had the Cranberry Almond Salmon (my friend's suggestion - she said it was good, and I trust her judgment). When I looked at the description for it, I asked her what crispy mashed potatoes were. She told me they were like heaven. Now, I am not the type of person that would usually order fish at a place like Joey's, but I was glad that I did. It was cooked perfectly & not too dry. I also typically do not like fruit on my fish, meat or what have you, but the cranberries & almonds were a nice touch on the salmon. (I typically eat salmon with soy sauce on it - I am Asian - would you expect anything else?) My friend was right about the potatoes - they were quite heavenly. It was like an egg roll filled with mashed potatoes - delicious! For dessert: Molten Lava Chocolate Souffle with vanilla ice cream. Well worth it. Ooey, gooey and magnificent. I will definitely go back here sometime, but probably not on a weekend - too busy. Weekday night, perfect - not too many peeps.

    I've only been here once before but once is all I need. It has a good atmosphere in the bar area and especially with all of the flatscreens and sports playing. The food isn't that great and is overpriced. We ordered several entrees and sliders, none of which were very good. Service was attentive however and the overall experience was alright.

    When friends set this as my lunchtime destination, I had some trepidation because I avoid chain restaurants as much as I can. I haven't had much luck with them and there are far better places to spend cash, in my humble opinion. The hostess said my party had not yet arrived so I thought I check out the restroom while waiting. I was inspired to take a couple of photographs, startling a woman entering the room. I explained it to her and she was confused, leaving quickly. But oh well, I knew my fellow Yelpers would appreciate pictures of things like that! The decor was comfortable and when we were seated, I loved the fat plush high backed chairs. From the moment I sat down, I wanted to read a book and enjoy some wine in front of a fire. But we were there for food, not solitary literary pursuits! After some chatting, we decided on one My companions arrived with my out-of-town cousin and we ordered our food. For my entrée, I chose their filet mignon with a side of sautéed mushrooms. The steak came with their "fully loaded crispy mashed potatoes." I didn't know what to expect from those but damn, they were decadent. Smooth mashed potatoes inside a lumpia wrapper and then deep fried. Sour cream is piped on top with a sprinkling of bacon bits and cheddar cheese. I finished one of those bad boys and gave the other to my cousin. Two of them could have been an entire meal, calorie-wise! Everyone enjoyed their food fully and my mushrooms and filet were perfectly prepared. Midway through the meal, I glimpsed something arriving to another table. When our server returned to check on us, I asked her what it was and she told me it was a wedge of Gorgonzola toasted French bread. I ordered one and was pleased when it arrived. It wasn't overpowering with the cheese and had the perfect amount of crispness. All of our items were beautifully plated. The service was friendly and attentive without being invasive. My final opinion of Joey's is that if I were in the immediate looking for a place to eat, I'd check them out again. The prices are a little high but the quality of the food didn't have me scowling at the receipt.

    This review is for the bar area only: The cocktails at this place are simply awesome. It's incredibly crowded, but the service is still good. It is difficult to get a spot at the bar and tables (hence the 4, and not a 5), but it is worth it. Their drink specials are quite good, especially on Fridays. Their Friday special vodka & coke drinks are great. You get your choice of vanilla or cherry coke, and the dollop of lemon frost goes surprisingly well with it. If you see a drink on the list that sounds good to you, I can almost guarantee it will be very good. Be adventurous with ordering something different. You won't be sorry!

    Came here for lunch one sunny day with a girlfriend and sat outside in their patio which is located in the back by the Hyatt hotel away from the street noise. Had a few glasses of white wine at $9.25 each it was overly priced for such a small pour. My salmon was moist and a decent portion but at $18.50 I could have had a steak. All the waitresses dressed in black skin tight clothing to obviously appeal to the male clientele that was so openly gawking at them. I can't believe that is their uniforms. Now I know why I haven't been back for a long time and would not give them another chance of earning my business again.

    they sure did bump up their game on customer service here. The cute asian girl that was sitting us was SUPER AMAZINGLY NICE!! our waitress was also amazingly nice, and wasn't a complete idiot like the seattle joey's girls. sorry, I had to say it, even though I like the seating area at seattle joey's, I would say I'd do joey's bellevue over any other chainy type restaurant in bellevue. everything from their super sonic gin and tonic's and my favorite apps there fried mash with gravy ahi tuna taco's blue cheese fries chocolate molten cake :) I will say made my sister's 40 birthday awesome... well after dinner dinner :) sooooo, with that said, I would recommend going here for some after work cocktails :) well if you're in bellevue. I wouldn't drive here if I were visiting seattle for these things because seattle has wayyyy more to offer than a restaurant with pretty girls and measured drinks.

    Went to joeys after a great night of fun with friends. Ordered different dishes so we could try out different options and overall was very pleased with the outcome. They offer different drink specials each night and Friday evening happy hour beer was very reasonably priced at $4. I especially enjoyed their salad with honey pecan, strawberries and goat cheese. It was out of this world. And shrimp flat bread was very good also. Nachos...I'm not too sure about. But overall it was a great experience. Definitely will return.

    The setting is very laid back fancy. If that makes any sense. They have awesome drink specials. I came once on a Saturday & their special for Saturday is a "Double Slush Long Islands" & WOW, it was strong. Long islands are strong enough as is, try doubling it. Their food was alright. "Killer Ahi Tuna Tacos" - Did not like it at all. I put the tuna to the side & just ate the taco shell because I was so hungry. "Crispy Calamari" - It was okay. The calalmari was too big & chunky for my liking. "Baja Fish Tacos" - By far my FAVORITE!!!!! I recommend it!

  • Cathy R.

    I've been to Joeys many times. The prices went up ALOT, and food went down in amount. Paid $12 for their famous tuna tacos, and got $2 worth of tuna... Rest was cabbage .50, and fried wonton .25. Very disappointing and NOT worth the $

    Just across from the Hyatt Regency driveway, opens late till 2am. Flew in, checked in. 10pm. Asked the front desk and they pointed straight to Joeys. Quite late, so I just wanted something light. They have a pretty good menu. Had a cup of the mushroom soup and the baja fish tacos. My meal tasted great. I think the draw here is more the servers. Every server I saw is eye candy: pretty, most of them blond, and their uniform is black, tight and slightly low cut. I think this restaurants targets guys. Kind of like a upscale Hooters, as some other reviewer mentioned. This place has two sides, on one side the bar with high bar tables and the other, a sit-down restaurant.

    It's really just a typical joey's. cool looking atmosphere, and great service, some food is great, some is not. They have decent drink specials every day. I'd come here for drinks, but go to earls down the block for food. However if you must get something here, I'm a big fan of the nachos.

  • Kimm M.

    Yet, another trendy and fun place to go in downtown Bellevue. Joeys is a bit small, esp. at the bar. It can get PACKED, so go early to catch some good HH. The food is decent, nothing special. My friend and I shared a salad and a couple apps. It all seemed like over-priced bar-type food. The drinks were decent and nicely poured. The crowd in young and fun. We easily chatted up some other peeps around us. Go for a drink and nice chatting time with a friend!

    Came here for lunch. Appetizers were over 10 bucks each. Entree's were over 15. A little much for just a lunch. Ordered their Tuna Taco's, Lettuce Wrap and Blue Cheese Fries - alll off the appetizer menu. Tuna Taco - 10.99 - I loved this. Fresh chopped veggies with a seared tuna. It came with a wasabi lime aioli sauce which was not spicy, more cream based then anything. The veggies is a sesame ginger coleslaw. Worth eating more than once. Lettuce Wrap - 12.99 - this was a pretty big dish for being a lettuce wrap. Got the Shrimp version. It was a little on the salty side for me, and that means really salty because I love salt. You get a whole head of lettuce and a big bowl of the shrimp filling. It was good, would be great if it was less salty. Blue Cheese Fries - 8.99 - crumbled blue cheese and creamy blue cheese sauce. Others have raved about this so we got it. It was a big mound of fries. Must share with others or you'd get a heart attack. Definately not the healthiest fries. I am not sure if they put butter in that blue cheese sauce, but it was pretty greesy. Environment: Clean, trendy, loud, dressy, upscale. Service, 7 out of 10. I would go back, but will have to save money since its not the cheapest place on the block.

    This place was way better than I expected. I've been a few times and I love their pasta dishes and ahi tuna salad. I'm itching to try their fish tacos next. We like to take out-of-towners here. Its a nice restaurant without breaking the bank. There's a pretty big price range too. I've heard some people say its like a high-class hooters and women don't receive as good service as men but I have always received excellent service from the men and women here. They bring you appetizers while you wait for a table, one of my waiters really took the time to tell us about his trip to Taiwan etc. I took off one star because: 1. They don't take reservations. Hence why I prefer Lake Union. 2. Their AMF wasn't a real AMF which is ok because its a restaurant but it was WEAK. This place has a great happy hour with a different drink special everyday of the week as well. Woot!

    Sitting in the lounge for a late night meal, I was accosted by several MSFT douchebags looking to draw me into some drunken camaraderie, but they soon retreated. The food was good--a mushroom soup that was made with quality mushrooms, not goop. The seared tuna salad was competent and left little to complain about. Sitting in the lounge, there's plenty of eye candy for the gentlemen. For a more intimate experience, stick to the restaurant, which is appropriately dark and sufficiently romantic.

    It's been a long time since making a Joey's Bellevue run. I remember being totally disappointed that Joey's didn't allow the Hibachi Chicken served @ happy hour to be cooked at the table over open flame. Lake Union location spoiled me! Anyhow, I made it back here for a simple asian chicken salad lunch with mango's and really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. This spot is better at lunch than lonely hearts, aka "Happy" hour in Bellevue, For lunch, it wasn't that crowded despite a huge Microsoft event going on in the Hyatt. Great place to "Get aways from it all", and it doesn't even feel like a former Cucina Cucina. Guess they hired a Priest for the Exorcism!

    We came here last minute as a cousins' gathering after finding out Twisted Cork doesn't serve people under 21. Food here is pretty standard...I mean, nothing really stood out to me except for their dessert. But then again, when does dessert ever fail to satisfy?? Our server was really friendly, but was disappointing when it came to her knowledge in wine. She kept having to go back and forth to our table to ask about wines. Later, she recommended a riesling that frankly tasted like dry nothingness. Anyways, I ordered a lobster ravioli which was alright. My sister ordered the filet mignon with came with a crispy mashed potatoes. I think those potatoes were probably my favorite non-dessert item that night. Fluffy mashed potatoes deep-fried in an egg roll. Nom nom nom. We had all three options for the dessert. Apple pie, strawberry shortcake and chocolate lava cake. All three are pleasing to the palate.

    If you have ever been to the Seattle Joey's location, this will disappoint. For some reason everything about the Bellevue Joey's is one step below the other locations - the food, the service, the ambiance... Joey's in Bellevue is just a place I end up when other places are full. Nothing terrible to say about it - it's just not anything special.

  • Stephanie E.

    Came in on a late Friday night... The service sucked! Nobody was friendly. And the place was pretty packed. Drinks were average... My sister and I split the gyozas (which again were pretty average) Each of us also ordered a sushi cone which was the only thing I liked here... especially that it was only $3.50 Not a fan of Joeys... would rather spend my money on a better experience!

  • Jessica H.

    So if it was last year when they actully had a full bar I would giv them 5 stars but what kind of restaurant takes Patron off the bar! My husband and I will never go back due to this...even though their service/food and Bloody Mary's are great!

  • Paul D.

    Just returned from a conference at the Hyatt and ate here twice during the week...for lunch only. The Ahi Tuna Salad with mango and peanuts was outstanding...so much so I had it both times. More than anything the place was convenient, nice outdoor seating despite being in the Hyatt's driveway. Some construction is going on now so if you show up before 1200 or after 1300 you are going to hear some noise. Staff is very attentive and it's apparent who they hire and why they hire them...as a few other reviewers alluded to. Nothing wrong with that. Made me miss girl back home more though! if I'm ever back in Bellevue, wouldn't think twice about lunch there again. Can't give more than 3 stars since I've only been there twice and had same meal. But my guess is they deserve 4.

  • Kayla H.

    I love to make fun of all the young, bimbo waitresses they hire here. They turn the heat way up in side so the waitresses can stay warm while wearing less. Its just so obviously funny. I havent been in here for a while but they have DEFINTELY increased their prices because I know the Viva Salad is not a $15 salad normally. I was going to get some calamari for an app but refused to pay $11 for a small deep fried APPETIZER! The food is good, over priced for what you get and the service is hit or miss. You win some, you lose some.

    Horrifically unprofessional. We called in to make a reservation to watch the Super Bowl game and were told that they don't take reservations for the bar area, but if we came around 2.00pm we should be fine. Well, guess what we got there by 1.30pm only to find that all the empty tables were reserved for 3.30pm. Wth!!! If the place is full, then just tell me that. Don't lie about not taking reservations and then give me some story about how the manager made an exception for the Super Bowl two weeks ago and let them take reservations. Which then why would they not tell me that when I called? That's not cool.
