I've head all the great things that there is to hear about Joey Uptown. My first time coming was for my birthday back in November because they have a few of my all time favorite things. Espresso martini, steak frites, truffle parmesan fries! How can you go wrong with either of those combos!
My first experience here was just ok. I feel that it was a little too hyped up for me, and that service-wise and food-wise, that I had had better. The espresso martini was good for me the first go round, but nothing that had me like WOW! And the steak frites was the same. The steak was just ok, and the parm on the fries felt like it was pre-shredded, not fresh, and didn't really add any value to the plate itself. All in all, my first trip here was probably a 3 out of 5.
But!!! I came back for Mother's Day. I was a bit hesitant, if I'm being honest, but I am glad that I did! I didn't drink on this day, but I ordered dessert first, the molten cake, which was delictable. The chocolate cake was warm, and the chocolate oozed out and went great with the vanilla ice cream! The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned nicely this go round also, and the fries a lot better (more fresh)!
The service was phenomenal. We had an excellent server who took wonderful care of us throughout our whole visit. He made sure our drinks were always filled, that plates were cleared from the table, and to ensure we had everything we needed. It was a great way to represent the service I know this place has to offer, which is why I believe everyone likes it so much here!
