    The shareable steak and ravioli Bianca is out of this world. I just can’t get past it. The only other dish I have ordered here is the Mediterranean bowl, which I couldn’t get past for quite a while either. You can’t go wrong on either of these dishes!

    We unfortunately had a disappointing experience at Joey’s last night. I usually enjoy dining out there. It took considerable time for a server to ask if we wanted drinks. Our steak was not hot enough and we didn’t have utensils when the plate was served, nor were asked if we wanted wine with our meal ahead of time. The food was okay but not great. We finally received our wine when the meal was over. I don’t recall experiencing such poor service before in this type of restaurant. Fortunately, we weren’t charged for the wine and offered a complimentary desert for the inconvenience. We had the impression that the service team was disorganized. Not sure if I will go back. This is unfortunate as I like the ambiance.

    Service was very good given it was a busy Saturday night. We were seated near the kitchen and, as foodie, it was interesting to see the operation and how they got orders out. Great tasting food and enough for us to get another meal out of.

    Food was great. Server could have been more attentive to our table, as we sat empty too long needing drinks multiple times.
