    Our dinner at JOEY Manhattan Beach was perfection! We were greeted warmly with a smile and seated promptly for our reservation. The food was delicious and the service outstanding! We had the Butter Chicken, which was tender and full of flavor, and the Farmers Market salad, which was vibrant, fresh, and crisp. We will definitely be back!

    well, I went there today for lunch. My son and I and my friend I went to the restroom and the floor was very wet and I slipped and I hurt my shoulder. Jason, the manager made sure I was OK. He was awesome. The food was good Jesse the shelf was awesome. The waitress Gabriella was OK, but I think she would only waitress on because she really didn’t come around and didn’t bring our appetizers on time, they came with lunch was being made. Overall, it was very good.

    We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.
