    ✨ A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner at Joey’s ❤️🍷 We had an incredible Valentine’s Day dinner at Joey’s, and once again, it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the tone for a fantastic evening. 🥂✨ The service was outstanding—our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed with recommendations and drink refills. Every detail was handled with care, making us feel truly taken care of. 💫 The food was absolutely top-notch 🍽️🔥. We indulged in a beautifully prepared meal, with each dish hitting the mark on flavour, presentation, and quality. The cocktails 🍸 were expertly mixed, adding an extra touch of sophistication to our celebration. What made the night even more special was the atmosphere—lively yet intimate, making it a great spot for both date nights 💕 and family gatherings 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Joey’s continues to be a favourite for us, and this experience only reinforced why. Highly recommend for any occasion, but especially if you’re looking to enjoy an elevated dining experience with fantastic food, drinks, and service! 🍷✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Everything was excellent. My vodka negroni was one of the best. My wife's gluten-free options were addressed to her great satisfaction. The octopus was grilled to perfection and fabulous never-heard-of veggies. Would be proud to bring my Montreal frieds to Fauna anytime.

    The service was outstanding. We were there for a business meal and we weren’t rushed at all. The server was just the right amount of attentive. The food was perfectly prepared. This is becoming one of my favourite restaurants.

    Food is great - always creative and delicious. Concern today as my dining guest mentioned a sensitivity to spinach. She realized her green salad was full of fresh spinach. She picked it out but it could have made her quite sick. Either server did not pass this along or kitchen forgot. Allergies are important to take note of - especially when server asks and gets a reply.
