JOEY Aventura

My husband and I had an absolutely awesome time. The food was absolutely sublime, and the service was impeccable. Special shout out to our server Louis for guiding us through the menu and Mia from front of house for all of her help and her cocktail recommendations are the best! The ambience is perfect for night out. We will absolutely be back! This is our new go to spot.

This visit for Valentine’s Day surpassed my expectations. Simply no words for the service from beginning to end, Luis was our server and we will come back with a table of 25 mark those words. Laughs, good recommendations and an excellent wonderful ambiance overall. This place is something special and my girlfriend loved it too.

An absolute gem of a bar! The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, with a great selection of drinks to suit any taste. But the real star is Angelina—an incredibly skilled bartender who crafts cocktails with precision and passion. Her friendly and welcoming personality makes the experience even better. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, this place is a must-visit!

Joey Aventura is a beautiful restaurant with an open, warm, and inviting bar/lounge area that creates a lovely atmosphere. The menu offers an impressive variety of options, ranging from prime cut steaks to sushi and pasta, ensuring there's something for everyone. I had the NY strip, which was cooked to perfection and truly showcased the high quality of the food. The Mini French Dip appetizer and Steak Ravioli were also standout dishes that I highly recommend. However, the service was a significant letdown. Our server, Andres, started off strong but became increasingly absent as the night went on. We were lucky to see him every 30 minutes, despite the restaurant being only about 30% full. Our drinks were left empty for far too long, and we ultimately had to approach the manager for our final bill, as Andres seemed more interested in chatting with his friends at the bar than attending to our table. While the food quality and taste were fantastic, the service really needs improvement. I would be willing to give Joey Aventura another chance, but only if I’m assigned a different server next time.

We had such a great time at Joey! We have been wanting to dine here for some time and I am so glad we made it out tonight. We were met at the door with complimentary champagne and a lovely atmosphere. My husband ordered the Joey filet- the BEST steak ever as far as we are concerned… I had the yellow fin tuna salad and that was great as well. Make sure to valet here or park nearby- you will love your experience!

AMAZING AND EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!! Our waitress Ray was PHENOMENAL! Trea was an add bonus to our dinning experience. Both Ray and Trea were professional, funny and broke the customer service scale with their bubbly personality. 😍😍😍 Our food! OMG, BEYOND REMARKABLE! 😋😋😋😋😋😋 Highly recommend their mushrooms. Chef Keyvis prepared our dinner. We enjoyed the food so much and complimented each dish so much that the waitress introduced us to Chef Keyvis. Ambiance and drinks were EPIC! The Creme brûlée cheesecake!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Please, please, please put Joey Aventura on your bucket list. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Exceptional Service and Memorable Experience! I cannot express enough gratitude to the incredible team at JOEY Aventura for making our birthday and engagement celebration truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived with a party of over 30 guests, everything was handled with such professionalism and grace. A special shoutout to Brie, the manager, whose attention to detail and accommodating nature made organizing this event seamless. Brie ensured that every request was met with a smile, and her dedication to making sure our group was comfortable did not go unnoticed. Daria, our server, was equally phenomenal. Despite the large crowd, she managed to provide flawless service – attentive, friendly, and efficient. Not a single order was missed, and the food arrived promptly, hot, and absolutely delicious. Many of our guests were first-time patrons, and they were absolutely amazed by both the food and the exceptional service. Everyone left talking about how fantastic the experience was and how they couldn't wait to return. The ambiance was perfect for the occasion, and the staff made sure we felt welcomed and celebrated. Thank you, JOEY Aventura for accommodating such a large party and making this day extra special for all of us. I highly recommend this restaurant for any event big or small as the service, food, and experience were truly outstanding. We’ll definitely be back!

The restaurant was beautiful with great staff, offering an enjoyable dining experience. The Korean cauliflower was amazing – definitely a standout dish. The ravioli with shrimp was good, but the shrimp could have been done in the sauce or sautéed. The herb salmon with mashed potatoes was delicious. The vegetables were in a delicate sauce that pulled everything together. The apple pie was tasty, though it missed a hint of cinnamon. Overall, a lovely spot, but I do wish they offered a brunch menu.

Celebrated a birthday with a friend - my first time there - started at the bar for a drink and decided to stay there for our dinner because Carly was such a pleasant and attentive bartender. We enjoyed a delicious meal and birthday cake for dessert - everything was delicious, especially the expresso martinis made by Ashley! I highly recommend!

The experience from entry to exit was excellent. We Enjoyed the wings, blackened chicken and chicken Parmesan. Service from Luis our server was also pleasant. The atmosphere was very nice with some nice music and clean environment.

Maya our bartender was exceptional in every way. Cocktails perfect, explanations of dishes and suggestions too! Her smile and kindness are hard to find these days. Happy to find a business with high quality service .

They really skimped out on the tofu in the tofu bowl Waitstaff was friendly, restaurant itself was clean and modern-y

My second visit was definitely much better than the first. This time, no dogs so no allergic reactions. The restaurant staff were just as wonderful as they were on our first visit. This restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the outside. When you're waiting to be seated, they give you a glass of champagne which I think is a very nice touch. We ordered different foods this time. I ordered the Herb Crush (not crusted but CRUSH) Salmon and it was yummy. It had a beautiful char on it and tasted very fresh and was cooked to perfection. It was served atop a creamy mashed potato with a vegetable blend of crisp sliced sugar snap peas, green peas and marinated tomatoes. The vegetables were so delicious and so fresh. I loved my meal and would definitely recommend. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan and he said it was good and it also looked really good. My daughter went with the pomodoro and it tasted just as nice as it did the last time we were here. We ordered an apple pie dessert and we all loved it. Our experience was beautiful and we would definitely recommend.

I ordered the chicken katsu salad which I have had at the Joey shipyards in North Vancouver. This version was so oversalted I could barely eat it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the presentation was great but the saltiness was unbearable. Manager Chante was very kind and removed the item from my check. She's a terrific manager. The ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The service was slow. My server did not do a quality check on my food. I'm ready to leave and I've been waiting for my check for quite a while. There is plenty of outdoor seating with shade umbrellas.

JJOEY! How YOU doing? iYKYK I digress. The restaurant is located on the exterior of Aventura mall. Apparently there is no access directly from the mall unless you walk through an awkward path on the road from the access point near Nordstrom. The restaurant is nice, nice for a small family meal, brunch or dinner date. The evening lighting lends nicely for intimate dinner for two. The front desk seemed a little chaotic when we arrived, we did wait for about 15 minutes despite the restaurant not appearing very busy but that happens sometimes for staffing reasons too. Though we brought our toddler I'd say it probably isn't the most baby friendly restaurant though staff were extremely accommodating. We started off with the cauliflower bites, nice crunchy batter with tender but crunchy cauliflower inside. The sauce is nicely spicy and the dish is very tasty. For entrees, Husband had the salmon, I had the chicken parm and baby had spaghetti with butter and some grilled chicken. The chicken parmigiana was very tasty with a hint of heat. Our waitress mentioned that some people have complained that it was too spicy. That was not the case at all and it was a very well seasoned chicken parm. Portion size was good and the chicken breast was crunchy. Marinara sauce was on point and unique. Babies pasta was delicious and soft for him to chew and enjoy which he did. Hubby ordered the salmon, he unfortunately didn't enjoy his meal. The salmon was overdone and under-seasoned. Overall, we would go back and try them again. I'd say go ahead and give them a go. Have a cocktail or two and hope you enjoy! Live & Love.

This would've been my second time at Joeys and they've created a forever customer! Ambiance: the place is soooo beautiful! my favorite part is the open kitchen, whether you go during the day or night the setting is always so fitting for and intimate time. Service: both times i've went the waiters are exceptional, very attentive & gave great recommendations. the food came out quick and fresh! Drinks: complimentary champagne when you walk in is always a win in my book, besides that the drinks were super good. Food: 100000/10 MY GOODNESS! The cauliflower? SO GOOD. so flavorful, great crunch on the outside. I've also had the Cajun Chicken and listen, it'll have you wanting to thank the chefs personally! Overall, this is a new fav of mine. My new fav spot ‍

What a delightful birthday dinner for my dear friend thanks impart to our lovely server "Ray of Sunshine"! Ray, will definitely ensure your dining experience is a memorable one. Honestly, thus far this restaurant has yet to disappoint. Albeit a Mid-to Large dining space, the intimate and cozy feeling has been well preserved. The Szechuan chicken lettuce wrap appetizer has a spicy kick and the Steak and Crab~cake were seasoned and cooked to perfection. I also Love, Love, Love the Valet service alleviating the hunt for parking. Joey Aventura is a must dine for all of your celebratory events or just because!

Absolutely love this restaurant and location. After a day of shopping or just for a regular do nothing day one should check out Joey. The restaurant has an open space, high ceilings modern decor so beautiful inside. Nice open bar, inside outside seating, great options on the menu, happy hour menu and nicely dressed staff. Staff is also very friendly and attentive. Now to the food, be sure to order the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wrap, the Japanese Gyoza and Jumbo Lump Crab Cake they were fantastically delicious. Great dinning experience, the food was great and the ambiance is top tier.

"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!"

Finally made it to Joey since they've opened. The greeting and champagne when you check in for your reservation is such a nice touch! Friendly and helpful staff along with nice ambiance and a mix of music. I ordered the Spicy Passionfruit Margarita (No egg white) and it was tasty. The seabass was delicious, I do wish I would have ordered a side...seabass and veggies were good, but not filling. Overall great experience. I will go back to explore other menu items.

Daria was amazing!!!! Great recommendations and she knew exactly what we would like. I recommend the steak ravioli. 10/10. Thank you!

I came here for my birthday and was given bubbles(champagne) upon arrival. I was already impressed because free champagne-OF COURSE. We were seated immediately and was able to order our food without a long wait. We ordered from the Miami spice menu(indulge in a 3course meal for a fixed price). Everything we ordered was super DELICIOUS and fresh. I was so pleased by this restaurant and was saying to myself why haven't I come sooner because it has always been on my list to try. 10/10 highly recommend from the staff to the service it was exceptional. The restaurant is dimmed and music is playing. It is not too loud the sound is average.

What a nice building. They have two floors. The restrooms are upstairs (there is an elevator) and once there you can look down on the impressive circular bar and partial dining area. Upon entry I was offered a complimentary Prosecco. I thought that was a really nice touch. I went for the Miami Spice lunch options. Aswell as enjoying my surroundings, the service was efficient and pleasant. I tried the following - APPETIZER - I sampled their Korean Fried cauliflower. This is fried cauliflower in a light batter, with a sweet, yet spicy Korean chili miso paste, and toasted sesame seeds. I loved it. It definitely gives Planta Queen a run for its money! I also had a complimentary sushi cone, as I checked in with the Yelp app and this was their kind offer. The sushi cone comes with a freshly fried tempura shrimp, avocado, spicy may and tobika. It was delightful. MAINS - Katsu chicken salad. This dish looked amazing and was rather large. It came with a crispy chicken breast which was topped with julienne vegetables, arugula and a miso ginger dressing. DESSERT - Creme Brulee cheesecake. This dessert looked very pretty. The cheese cake had some crispy caramel on the top, which had been torched, hence the creme brulee twist. It was served with a strawberry compote and cream. The portion sizes are rather large, which is great for leftovers for snack time. I recommend this place.

I was recommended to try Joey through a friend, and it did not disappoint! I had their Ravioli Bianco in a truffle sauce with shrimp. Wow was this delicious. The service was outstanding and the ambience is very beautiful & modern. I will definitely be back when I'm shopping!

Food was so good! My wife and I had a ton of variety and it all slaaaaapppeed hard. We had for appetizers the lettuce wrap, the cauliflower and the crab cakes! Everything seasoned amazingly, great textures and easily shareable. Our entrees were the classic steak and the salmon, paired with mashed potatoes and vegetable assortments that all were so tasty. Gosh we needed this bad! The service was lovely, very attentive to us and genuine. The food honestly did take a long time to come out though, which is why I'll give the place 4 stars. I'm usually pretty patient but I think between appetizers and entrees we waited 30 minutes to an hour???? Maybe even longer Which of course felt like forever haha I hate that I have to point it out but it was a noticeably long wait that if it keeps up it'll be hard to see myself coming back even with all the other aspects being great. The ambiance was a very modern, upscale dining. There was a coat rack at every table which isn't common in most Florida restaurants. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of wine/champagne too? How neat is that. Absolutely adored my experience here besides the entrees taking forever to arrive it was a lovely night out with my wife

I wanted to try a new spot for Happy Hour and this caught my eye. The HH here is AMAZING! I'm usually looking at the real menu and substituting items because a happy hour isn't enough, this was not the case here. The place was not as packed about 10 people during happy hour and the service was excellent. food came out very quickly and the drinks were well balanced and delicious. The place was clean, beautiful, and the ambiance felt very serene. I'm sure this was the calm before the dinner time rush, but it was perfect. We got the crunchy tuna roll, the chicken lettuce wraps, shrimp tempura, and the two dips. I was definitely feeling well fed and happy after that HH. All the food was cooked perfectly. The chicken was flavored well, not fatty at all. My favorite item was the two dip combination. The corn guacamole and the aged cheddar dip were so so good. Can't wait to come back and try the actual dinner menu!

We visited Joey Aventura early on a Saturday night. We easily got a reservation the day before and it was not crowded when we arrived. We were brought straight to the table where we were offered complimentary champagne! Our waiter was very helpful and explained the menu. We started with the spicy wings. The waiter warned that they were spicy. They did have a kick but they were not my favorite. They were messy and the dry rub was only on the outside. On the flip side my meal was delicious!! The steak was cooked perfectly and the sushi was soooo good. My kids liked the burgers but my son asked for sauce on the side and they put it on the burger, so that was not great. My husband got the poke bowl which was very tasty but he was disappointed in the amount of tuna served. It was only 4 small pieces. But they were very tasty. Overall we would definitely go back despite a couple flaws!!

Wonderful steak and great sides. Amazing service from Angelina and nice atmosphere. Good wine selection and prices are fair. Top quality through and through...

I don't know why it took me this long to write a review for this restaurant but here I am, after eating here one too many times! I must say, I ABSOLUTELY INDULGE IN THE AMBIANCE AND THE FOOD! It's such a nice steakhouse/bar that is very accessible and near the mall. Perfect for after a long day of shopping! The interior design of this restaurant is so modern, integrating a circular concept for the bar and having the dinning tables in the back and second floor! All of the food I ordered here was amazing. What surprised me was the potato side that came with the Joey steak. Who would have thought to have stuffed potato in an wonton wrapper!! What a nice spin on new American cuisine! My favorite was of course the steak and the cheesecake! Sweets are my kryptonite and this dessert was not too dense or overly sweet!

Visited several times. Just getting around to writing a review with the girlfriends. Definitely a nice place for a date. Planning to go with hubby .. Ambiance is amazing. The decor is beautiful. The lighting is spectacular located across from the Louis Vuitton section of Aventura. The Esplanade love the new area that has been developed over there . Drinks are yummy good variety

The service from Daijah was awesome. The food was awesome. I had the blackened chicken and the chicken and shrimp wrap. I will be coming back for sure.

The food, atmosphere and service were all amazing! Brianna, Rachel and Angelina were so kind and gracious. We can't wait to go back!

Food 5/5 highly recommend. My friend and I shared appetizers and everything was just delicious and cooked to perfection. We ordered the sliders which were incredible! We also had chicken lettuce wraps, truffle fries, gyoza dumplings. Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Service 5/5- staff were friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were brought out fast. We got complimentary champagne which is always a plus. Ambiance 5/5- it's giving elevated casual/American bar. They have a decent sized bar by the entrance. Great place. Would def come again.

Peyton was the best ever!! Food was amazing and having good service made my experience that much more enjoyable. Will be back!

Five stars all the way from beginning middle and the end .....ray was my bartender/server .super amazing service with the best smile...she was a ray of sunshine...I went for happy hour and the food was excellent...thanks ray and all the staff of Joey's

enjoyed my time at the Joey Aventura location Chiara was great & friendly. I've been to Joey in Woodlands in LA. i saw this location on my recent visit to miami & im glad i stopped by. the blacken chicken is my favorite & the peach bellini's hit the spot every time. the location is very dim lighting & very sexy & inviting. will be back next time i'm back in miami.

After a short day of shopping, my wife and I stopped by this restaurant on the outskirts of Aventura Mall - and we were so happy we did. Joey's originates out of Vancouver and prides themselves on Genuine, Warmth and Care. The ambiance is modern with a touch of glamour, yet keeping it subtle to make you feel comfortable. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted by the manager and offered us each a glass of sparkling wine. How's that for starters?! We sat at the bar and reviewed the different menus available, opting for the spice menu - consisting of 3 courses for $35. They even allowed us to make a small substitution on one of the courses which made us feel appreciative. Now for the food: Shrimp Cone: Tempura prawn accompanied with cucumber and some greens wrapped in a soft rice cone. Add some ponzu sauce and it's a delicious starter. Crispy Tofu Bowl: Delicious tofu on a bed of coconut rice and slaw. Beautiful presentation and savory till the last bite. Warmed Italian Donuts: Just look at the picture. It was so difficult to leave some behind but we were honestly full (don't worry we took them home for later). We were very much taken care of by the staff and management. Big shout out to Steph and Justine for making us feel so welcomed. Will definitely come back soon!

By review is solely based on my love for the butter cake desert because that's all I had. It's by far my favorite desert and I highly recommend it to anyone coming here

I visited this restaurant in Aventura and I must say that every dish was perfectly paired with a side. My favorite was the chicken which was seasoned to perfection and served with a delicious salad. The dressing elevated the dish to the next level. We also ordered the crab cake which was flavorful and meaty. Who doesn't love a stuffed crab cake? The service was great as we were greeted with a glass of bubbly. The bartender, MIA, was exceptional! The ambiance was perfect for a date night or for a casual bite to eat.

What an amazing experience! The service was attentive and friendly, the food was wonderful, and the inside ambience was chic. I don't make it to this zip code often, but I will return to this restaurant any time I do!

The food had a really good presentation and was well executed. It had a lot of pepper for some reason but I'll put that behind us. The venue itself is really nice and two floors of seating with a nice view looking outside of the new Esplanade addition next to Aventura Mall. I'll definitely come back again.

There is a new development going up right next to Aventura Mall with lots of restaurants and businesses. One of the new restaurants is part of a national chain - Joey Restaurant. It's big with 2 floors of tables and a huge round bar area with stools and high tables. It's modern and spacious and attractive. The service is great (at least at the bar where I sat) and the food is darn good too. I had the fish tacos - nice crispy fresh white fish and shrimp in a nice tasty sauce with guacamole, and the really good molten chocolate cake and ice cream dessert. Will go back and sit at the bar and try other things!

It's AVENTURA, need I say more?! Ambiance and cleanliness is a winning combination and the food was very good! Is it amazing? No , not in the sense that I would critique a restaurant. JOEY is good enough and will appeal to the public that go to Aventura.

We were greeted with glasses of complimentary bubbles, so obviously a great start! We were here on Wednesday night, and it wasn't too busy (at 7). I really liked the feel of this warm, spacious, yet intimate eatery. The Korean Fried Cauliflower was ah-mah-zing!!!! The Cauliflower Tacos Duo was fantastic, and our friend said the Chicken Parm was devine. I highly recommend this place!!! Especially on Wednesdays when bottles of wine are 1/2 off!!! Please give them a try. I'm sure you won't be dissatisfied.

This restaurant looks really nice and is dark and enchanting. They offered us a glass of champagne when we walked in. I love that. What a great way to start the evening!! But things went south. I heard from three different people about the Steak Ravioli. So we ordered it. This has potential but it was served cold. I am pretty sure that is not the intention. Our server had it warmed up but by then the steak was dried out. I did not eat much of this. I did enjoy my Old Fashioned. It was made well. I ordered two of these. My friend ordered a Cosmo and enjoyed that. Our meals were both served not hot at all. It tastes like the food had been sitting out a while. They were pretty busy and maybe short handed. My filet mignon was undercooked. The potatoes were pretty good but again not hot. My friend ordered steak and a crab cake. She did not eat of it much at all. She found her meal to be excessively salty. No manager came to our table to check on us. Our server did not too often either. I did like the frozen lemonade I ordered. It had a good amount of sweetnes. This was disappointing overall.

Joey Aventura...this is one for the books!!! Born and raised in Miami, FL but recently moved to Houston. The hype in Houston for fine dining is Joey Uptown for the vibes. It's very upbeat and always jammed pack but quite frankly the food is subpar. The drinks are good but I would not go back for anything but happy hour. Joey Aventura opened up in Miami and I thought "everything in Miami is better" so let's give Joey a try. Firstly they gave my husband and I complimentary bubbles and sent the expectation high. I was nervous for the food. Maya our server came over and broke down the menu and was just the sweetest. She heard my concerns about dairy and directed me in the right way. Josue....WOW JUST WOW. I have never been taken care of like that at a restaurant before. He came and greeted us and gave his recommendations and even had us try something on the house. If I could give 10 stars I would. Wow what a star difference between the two restaurants. Go to Joey houston for the vibes but go to Joey Uptown for the service, food, scenery and an overall GREAT experience. I couldn't recommend it more. I only took 2 videos and here are screenshots of them. Doesn't even do it justice! Just go.

Vinnie behind the bar was great! Personable, attentive and charismatic. The cocktails were excellent. 5 stars!!

Great experience! All of the food was interesting and delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The space is comfortable and beautiful. Worth a visit, or a repeat visit. The only thing not great were the cocktails - very small and light on the alcohol. Next time I'd stick with wine as the cocktails are not worth the price IMO.

The ambiance is beautiful! Went during the day and sat at the bar. Very nice vibes. Great music was playing, not too loud but just right to enjoy. Vinny and Bri took care of us. They were both very kind and welcoming. Vinny is charismatic, funny and attentive. Vinny was the bartender, the drinks were great. We ordered from the Miami Spice menu and I am not exaggerating when I say everything was 10/10. Also the fact that it was a Miami Spice fixed menu we were surprised and pleased to find that the plate appeared to come full size! (Usually most restaurants give smaller plates during Miami Spice) Appetizers: Sushi Cone & Korean Fried Cauliflower. The sushi cone was the right mix of light, refreshing and flavorful. We were happy to see the serving brought two. The Korean Fried Cauliflower was a pretty big plate. Very delicious. Entrees: Seared Salmon Sushi & Katsu Chicken Salad. They need to rename this Chicken Salad! Because the name is too boring and not appealing for how delicious this plate is! It's refreshing and even though it is a fried chicken. It's battered sooooo lightly you feel absolutely no guilt ! I will definitely be ordering this again. The sushi was delish, as expected. Dessert: Crème brûlée cheese cake & Butter Cake. 10000/10 Enough said. The butter cake is so moisttt The cheese cake is very creamy and thick. Overall beautiful experience! Thank you Vinny and Bri

Service was superior, staff moved quickly and were attentive. The food also came out very quickly, but rhetorical restaurant was not insanely busy. It is absolutely beautiful in there, the music was great and the dim lighting made it a good spot for a date or even drinks. Nice to have a restaurant in the area open past 10pm on weekends. Will be back!

This was my first time here. I'd heard it was nice spot.. it's beyond a "NICE" spot.. Upon arrival you are offered a glass of champagne!!! Our server Joy was excellent, the food was OUTSTANDING... he had the salmon, the quality of the dish and the temperature was absolutely perfect.. I had the guacamole and chips.. both fresh.. followed with a butter cake.. will definitely be in rotation on a more regular basis.

This restaurant is in the new area of Aventura Mall. The entrance is outside on the south side of the mall. We were sat by the window with a view of the patio. Our visit here started off rocky because no server came over even to greet us for at least 15 minutes. The restaurant was not too busy. I did not care for my Margarita. I asked for Patron but I am not sure I got it because there was no upcharge on the receipt. We shared the steak ravioli Blanco. This was incredible. It had a delicious sauce. It is $37. I think that is steep, but in this case,, they actually deserve that money. It is really, really good. I fully expected to not like it because it dis not sound good to me. My friend was intrigued so I told her I would eat some of it. Well, I think I ate more of it than she did. If I ever come back, I would probably just order that. This restaurant is from Canada. So, I am not sure what their specialty enteees are because our server didn't explain anything. I didn't ask either. We both ordered filet mignon. This is not flavored well at all. It was almost like someone poured way too much salt on the steak. Neither of us liked it. The asparagus was bland. I did not taste any seasoning. The potatoes could have been good but they were not hot. I asked for new ones but she never brought them out. The duo of donuts was okay. The atmosphere is cozy. For what my friend and I spent, this was not a great experience. The only memorable thing was the steak ravioli. I have never had anything like it.

I was disappointed by my latest visit to Joey. While the food was still really good, the portions have gotten smaller. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and for $49, I could barely even distinguish the tiny piece of fish from the vegetables. Even the vegetables were lacking. I left hungry. To add insult to injury, my friend and I were celebrating both our birthdays, with mine being the most recent. I am the one who made the reservation, I am the one who indicated birthday on the reservation, I am the one who ordered the dessert and I am the one who told the waitress we were celebrating birthdays plural. She brings the dessert with happy birthday written and plops it down right in front of my friend. Mind you this was a shared dessert and she should have asked (not assumed) who was celebrating the birthday or put it in the center at least. What a slap on the face and way to go for making me feel completely left out on my own birthday.

My friend and I came in for lunch today and we can had excellent meal with one of the best servers I've had in a while! AYANA thank you for providing fast, friendly and knowledgeable service for us today. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. We had lobster & shrimp tacos for an app which were out of this world delicious. A perfect starter! I had the Mediterranean bowl - wow! The flavors all mixed together wish fresh ingredients. My friend had the tuna poke bowl and enjoyed as well. The manager was around and stopped by and helped me in the beginning of my visit as well. All around friendly and helpful employees. Made our lunch experience great paired with to die for food - I will definitely be back - next time for happy hour and dinner!

The team was very accommodating and the food was fire! We stopped in without a Resy. The spot was hopping and I didn't think they would be able to accommodate us. They did and placed us at a great table near the window. Thanks for a great evening!

I want to love this place. It is a great versatile menu and a business casual setting ideal for a lunch break or corporate meeting or even a casual date night. The food has been pretty average each time I have dined here, with the appetizers being better than the mains but that's ok! Portion sizes are generous, and there are a lot of asian influences on the menu. I am giving three stars to this restaurant because yes the food was decent but the service really isn't quite there yet. It is new, but the waiter took over 10 minutes to get to our table just to give us waters. She came to take our order and didn't even know that the manager already took the order. The communication wasn't there. Unfortunately I also found a hair in my main course. This can happen anywhere, so I feel bad but I did let them know. I was pleasantly surprised by how apologetic the manager was, so that was nice! They took off two appetizers and the main dish off our bill to compensate for the inconvenience which was very nice of them. Overall, I think I would give them another shot but they definitely need more time to step things up! They're a new spot so I will make another review after they've been open longer.

Food was delicious and Elis was a super sweet server! The vibes was just right. Highly recommend!
