"I had the pleasure of dining at Joey Restaurants in Aventura on Monday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our waitress, Maya, was absolutely amazing. She was sweet, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the start. Originally from Las Vegas, her warm personality and attention to detail made the evening even more enjoyable.
The food was outstanding! I started with the Jumbo Crab Cake, which was perfect - the crab, shrimp, and corn all blended together with a delicious panko crust, and the apple fennel salad with house-made tartar added the perfect touch. The Seared Salmon Sushi was another highlight - the fire-torched salmon and umami sauce paired with serrano pepper gave it a bold, flavorful kick. I also had the Baja Fish Tacos, and they were fantastic. The combination of gulf shrimp and cod, guacamole, and Valentina's was a burst of flavor, and the fries were crispy and delicious.
As for drinks, I tried a few incredible cocktails. The Lemon Drop Tequila made with Don Julio was refreshing, the Bourbon Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark was hands down the best I've ever had, with perfectly pitted cherries that elevated the drink. The Passion Fruit Martini was sweet and tangy, and to top it off, I enjoyed a glass of Ferrari Brut from Trentino, Italy - the perfect bubbly end to an amazing meal.
Thanks to Maya and the fantastic food and drinks, the entire experience was exceptional. If you're in Aventura, I highly recommend asking for Maya to make your dining experience even more special!"
