    Disappointing fish tacos and salad - too much gloopy, saucy bits that overwhelmed everything
    Veronica V.

    Well, I had just moved back to Toronto, and had forgotten how much I hated the Dundas Square area, lol. Wow. It says a lot when the nicest place that I could find in the area was a Joey's. Anyway, I sat at the bar and had a calming beverage and ordered their fish tacos. The bartender was very welcoming. All the ingredients in the dish were good, but somehow the salad and the tacos did not taste that great... the ratios were all off, a bit too much gloop and really unharmonious. A shame, because they had everything to make this a good dish! But, it's a Joey's, so my expectations are low. The place was an oasis of calm compared to the cacophony of Yonge & Dundas Square outside, so they're still getting 4 stars out of me!

    There are a few locations. This one is at the north end of Eaton's Centre. It is a large pub, serving a large variety of bar food. There are a typical dining area and a large square bar with counter seating, and several large TV screens around the bar. We ordered the following: 1. Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wrap ($24.50). It has chicken, wok vegetables, peanuts, crispy noodles, hoisen oyster sauce, and cilantro. 2. Calamari Frites. It has calamari, tempura vegetables and spicy aioli. 3. Steak Frites ($34.75). There is a 6 oz steak, parsley butter, rocket greens, and fries. 4. Baja Fish Tacos ($21.50). It consists of two tacos with lightly breaded shrimp & cod, white corn tortilla, guacamole, and valentina's. 5. Steak & Sushi ($37.00). It has Tataki-style steak, pozu sauce, and seared salmon sushi. 6. Individually Baked Apple Pie ($13.50). Hand-folded pastry, toasted almonds, Canadian maple syrup ice cream. All the food were quite tasty. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and a paid parking garage. Review 2025-268

    blackened chicken
    Jason M.

    Feels like it's been ages since I visited this location. Its prolly got one of the nicest locations in the city (right in the heart of downtown near Yonge and Dundas Square) Recently, my boss took me and another colleague here for a work lunch as a treat. Ordered the blackened chicken and it was quite good! The chicken was moist, the kale was dressed properly and the warm potato salad underneath was really tasty (the potatoes had crispy exterior like fries). Service was very attentive and it was a simple no frills type of lunch. I feel like JOEY's is one of those restos where there's something for everyone in terms of the menu. Very standard fare.

    Overall: A // 5 stars Stopped by for a single drink with some friends where I got the Kalamansi Lychee Cooler, a fruit-forward cocktail on the Low-Alc section of the menu. Their cocktails are very fairly priced in my opinion, and I enjoyed the varied tropical notes coming through from the cocktail, from the lime leaf aroma to the distinct calamansi taste of the drink. The staff are kind and attentive, keeping separate tabs for each person without asking, and their menu is interesting enough where I would want to return.

    Our first night in Toronto started with dinner at Joey Restaurant. With no reservations, our party of 4 was seated in less than 10mins. The place is modernly decorated and the vibe is chic. The food came out fast and tasting good. I recommend the ceviche to start. The other dishes were good,,, nothing wow. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Sure I will be back!

    cod rice curry
    Ivon W.

    came here 2nd time. this time it was for corporate event. there were total 8 of us. we were all prepared (hungry). this place have great customer service and ambiance. everyone ordered different food, but I got to try: 1. cauliflower (cooked with korean sauce) it tastes great! but not sure if it's something i can eat a lot (bc the sauce is quite strong). others commented that the sauce could be lighter. 2. hot wings (i think thats the name) sour. nobody's favorite. 3. cod curry rice love it! curry sauce is perfect. it has balanced flavor. the dish also has nice crispiness (i think its rice crispy?)- making it crunchy texture. it comes with rice and snow peas. the snow peas do not pair well with the overall dish. it has 'raw' taste - better if it's cooked thoroughly. 4.lobster pasta soooo good! i was tempted to have 2nd lunch. but my tummy capacity is limited. lol overall, enjoy our lunch regardless of the few-minor-favorites.

    Chicken club with the cobb salad
    Zulmira R.

    I always get the grilled chicken club with either the sweet potato fries or the cobb salad. Both options delicious

    Shrimp ravioli
    Rachel L.

    It was really busy during lunch time on a weekday. Service was good and quick though. I got the shrimp ravioli and portions were huge. I had leftovers for dinner. The truffle fries and hummus dip were both really good and great for sharing.

    Fish Tacos
    Tommy V.

    The staff here is excellent. From the host to the servers, the staff is very attentive. They make you feel like you are eating at a very high end restaurant (despite it being a Thursday lunch time). I was instantly impressed, and stayed impressed during my dining experience there. The food was OK to me however. Tacos were good, but the fries lacked some flavor. Despite all of this, the menu was vast and had many items to choose from. I think it is a great place to bring a small or large party, because there is a lot of seating for guests and items to order.

    I had a late lunch today with my pal, Kelly, at JOEY Eaton Centre. I ordered what I always get there ... Chicken Parmesan (spaghetti pomodoro, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil). I got garlic bread with it this time ... it was okay but I wouldn't get it again. Kelly ordered Baka Fish Tacos (2 tacos, shrimp + cod, guacamole, valentinas and fries). She said it was good. Tristan was our server ... he was friendly and took good care of us.

    Blackened chicken with warm potato salad.
    Gary M.

    September 27/2023: Birthday lunch with the Al. The restaurant was gracious enough to seat us immediately as we had a limited timeline. This was an awesome meal! The service was great. Our server (Annie M.) was very polite, efficient & got everything right the first time around. As for the food...fantastic. Blackened Chicken with warm potato salad ($30.00) combined with coleslaw. Just an absolutely superb meal & very filling. I've been to Joeys before but not this location. As a very nice addition...our server comped my Al a Baileys shot, great acknowledgment of our small occasion! Solid meal...definite do-over!

    Enter from outside of the mall

    We enjoyed our first dinner in Toronto at JOEY Eaton Centre! We had the Spicy Szechuan Chicken lettuce wrap and the steak frites, both were delicious. The steak was excellent, perfectly cooked and delicious. There were a lot of lettuce for the wrap, since stuffing for the wrap was a little too salty to our taste, we used double wrap and it was perfect. The restaurant has a good vibe with contemporary music in the background. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Location tip: conveniently OUTSIDE the Eaton Centre (no mall access and we went up and down and finally found it outside!) right by the Yonge-Dundas Sq.

    Mediterranean Bowl
    Cassie H.

    This place offers an array of entrees ranging from sushi, steak, pasta, burgers, Mediterranean and more. It's a bit on the pricier side with every dish being at least $26, and portions can be on the smaller side. I tried the Mediterranean bowl and the poke bowl -- both were very flavorful!! Service was very friendly and the ambiance was bustling.

    Kids love the word "aura" these days, and when my dad asked me what it means I told him "think Soho…read moreHouse 2010-2014." That confused him more but I like messing with my dad. Forreal though, the run Soho House had can only be rivaled by 2011-2015 Whole Foods. You really had to be there... but like any other prime, Father Time always catches up. I was set to do a full rise and fall piece on the Soho House right here on Yelp but in my research, I stumbled upon an article by Lydia Moynihan in the NY Post and she nailed it. I really didn't have much to add so go over and read that if you have a sec. Shoutout to Lydia. Instead, I'll just recap our experience here like any other boring Yelp Review. We came to this Toronto location before the Taylor Swift concert, and I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like prime Soho House. A beautiful, discrete brick building with an old school interior. Whoever designed this one needs a raise. I'm so tired of the cookie cutter half-assed modern architecture. The ones in LA and NY now feel like it is just a bunch of dorks trying to be seen by God knows who. There is no soul in those locations. We grabbed a drink in the lobby and went upstairs for our 5pm dinner. I domed a couple of negronis and we split a margherita pizza and a bottle of pinot noir before our mains arrived. I got the rigatoni, per the waitresses recommendation because she had a thick Italian accent. Big truss. She wasn't lying either, that rigatoni went crazy. I took like 30 pictures before a staff member came over and said no pictures, as I didn't know that was still a rule here... please don't beat me up. We closed dinner with a couple espresso martinis before setting off on foot to go see Big Tay put on a show. She really did her thing. Thank you Soho House Toronto, for giving me a taste of what the Soho House used to be in the states. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Was very cold with a touch of orange and came with show of a long pour which was fun. They have their own vodka and gin they use. 5 stars - Menu: sweet/dry, light/spirited quadrants mapped out on the front page Also a sketch drawing of the drink so you can see what type of glass you'll get and colorful pictures on the side to set the mood. - Spicy nuts: good yet dusty but bonus for having hazelnuts. 4 stars Midlights: - Can get on waitlist if full and can text you (note: was full even early afternoon on a Saturday) - Wanted to try more food like the beef sandwich or french onion soup but we were in between meals Lowlights: - Took over 30 min to get our first drink after ordering which was odd at a hotel of this caliber. The next ones did not have the same wait time which was good.

    For a very, very long time, I'd been reading about how Library Bar is one of the best cocktail bars…read morein the city. So it goes without saying that my expectations were extremely high for the place. We arrived just before our reservation time and were quickly shown to a comfy table near the entrance. It was a good spot for taking in the admittedly impressive ambiance. Obviously we both had to order the Birdbath Martini ("Quill Gin, House Vermouth Blend, House Orange Bitters, Lemon Oil, Olives and Pickled Onions"). And yeah, it's incredible. The tableside preparation was certainly an impressive sight, and the taste of the drink was superb. Definitely one of the best martinis in the city. For my main, I went with the Bay Street ("shaved prime rib, tobacco onion, horseradish aioli, grilled baguette, frites") and after an unusually long wait, the plate arrived to the table. I can't say I was super impressed. The meat is tender and flavorful, yes, but the bread is so plentiful and so crusty that it pretty much negated the sandwich's positive attributes. I ultimately wound up leaving most of the bread and eating the scant prime rib. The fries were quite tasty, at least. Far more problematic was the service. Our waiter was absent for much of our meal. Our water glasses were empty for most of our time in the restaurant, and he never showed up to ask us if we wanted another drink, which we certainly did. We each probably would've ordered a couple more cocktails had the guy not vanished. So yeah, the martini was indeed excellent. Everything else? Not so much.

Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back.
