Excellent food and service, one of my favorite places to eat. I have never had a bad meal there.

The service is very friendly and attentive--they check on you often without being intrusive. The cocktails are amazing, and the food is delicious with a modern, stylish presentation. The ambiance is cool and lively. It does get a bit loud, but you can still chat comfortably and no one is shushing you, which I actually like. I personally wouldn't mind the music being even louder , but overall it's a great spot to visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

We liked Joey's very much. The Pork Chop Milanese was absolutley delicious, generous portion and price. The Pasta specials were delicious but slightly small. Everything though was delicious and great service too. We will return! read more

We finally made a visit to Joey's for dinner and it was worth the wait. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. Our server John promptly came over to welcome us with a big smile and continued his friendly, knowledgeable and attentive service throughout the meal. We started with delicious cocktails. For an appetizer we had the Manila clams scampi style and it was delicious. The clams were tender, the sauce was so flavorful and the warm bread sopped up the sauce perfectly. For entrees we had the steak and cake which is grilled bison filet and a crab cake served with roasted potatoes and spinach. The bison was cooked exactly how we ordered it, medium rare. It was so tender and a nice change from a beef filet. The crab cake was full of lump crab meat. We had the the special, Prawns with heads on (they gave the choice of heads off but all the flavor is with heads on) with a corn risotto with peas, mushrooms and tomatoes that was heavenly. We didn't have dessert but we will next time because I can't stop thinking about the Bourbon pecan pie with vanilla gelato that I passed up. Joey's lives up to its name, the flavors are bold. I'm happy I got to meet Joey and look forward to coming back and bringing friends and family!! read more

My friend and I heard great reviews about Joey's so we had to go try it. The place was packed on a Thursday night. We sat down and found out that it was ladies night with a choice of a pre fixed menu. We chose the ladies night menu and we were glad we did. Our salads were fresh and delicious. We had lobster clams for our appetizers and shrimp lemoncello for our main courses. Everything came out delicious. Our waiter couldn't have been more accommodating and professional. The plus side was I saw local people eating there that I hadn't seen for years. We finished our meals off with pistachio tartuffo which was delicious. Joeys is definately a restaurant that you should try. read more

One of the better meals we have had in some time! Have been wanting to try this place for a while now and we finally made it, 6:30 reservation and seated as soon as we walked in. Great service from John, attentive and informative from the menu to drinks to special requests. For the older locals, they have "Lawson Pup" style steak tidbits on the menu and they were outstanding, if a bit small in size. Bucatini carbonara was outstanding as was the antipasta salad and the calamari. The owner Joe came over and we asked what his favorite dish was, he said the Beggar's Purse, we told him we were going to get that but had to get the tidbits, he brought us the Beggar's Purse on the house just to try! That is a great way to build your business.............and they were great! My only complaint is the noise, we had to shout to speak to each other, the place is extremely loud but worth it. The pictures are not my best, we started eating! We'll be back, we actually already made a reservation! read more

C Amazing dinner at Joey's Bold Flavors in Oceanside. Great food service and drinks. Lots of choices for the adventurious eaters like me or for the less adventurous who just like tasty food. The chopped antipasto salad was enough for two couples, but we also shared an amazing non traditional fried calarmari. There was a traditional option as well. The owner recomended the bison filet minion paired with a perfectly cooked crab cake which was absoultely delicious. My spouse and a friend had shrimps and scallops over linguini with a flavorful light red sauce which they both loved. Another friend had the ribs which he loved. The caupachino along with a shared different but decadent Tarimuso was enjoyed by all. We dinned for almost two hours.At least on a Saturday reservations are a must. Highly recomenrded. We wll return. read more

Always a great time coming here for the great food and excellent drinks !!! The apps and main dishes are always a amazing ....

It was our third time there. We're reading the reviews and figured we'd give it another shot. Not very impressed. Drinks were not great by a longshot, appetizer was Excellent, main course fair at best. Just a weird/off vibe. Waiter John very nice. read more

Joey is the best. My daughters love coming here. The food is great and incredible customer service.

OK, not as good as it sounds. Also the prices were very high, , As for the service hat was the best part. Not worth a second try. read more

Been following Joe where ever he winds up opening. Love his food and always professional service. Joe makes regular rounds to the dining room to say hello to all of his patrons. My go to is shrimp limoncello with risotto. Nice decor. read more

Long time fans of Joes restaurants from Sole to Bacarro. Happy to have his new place closer to us. Friday night at 6 not too crowded and noise level manageable. Service was excellent, tuna special cooked to perfection, but the jasmine rice and spinach was unremarkable. Was somewhat underwhelmed.One suggestion, change the plates to something with a lower edge. My silverware kept sliding into my food. read more

We have been coming here very often lately and are NEVER Disappointed. Joey is a Fantastic Chef who serves exceptional and delicious food with a unique touch. The service is always perfect and his prices are reasonable. I recommend this wonderful find very much. This place is a keeper. You can thank me later. read more

My friends and I went there for the first time last night. Our reservations were at 5 and the restaurant filled up quickly. My friend and I had the osso bucco which was served in a beautiful covered dish and my other friend had the steak and crab meat. They also ordered the eggplant meatballs to go. I don't drink alcohol but they had wine. Our server, Teresa, was patient with us and excellent. Before we left we made reservations for next month. A totally wonderful experience. read more

Really wanted to like this place but I wasn't impressed. Ironically, I feel like most of the dishes lacked flavor. The fried calamari was a 5/5. The antipasto salad needed more meat/cheese. The braised short ribs were tender but needed more seasoning. The orricchettei dish was fine. read more

The decor of Joey's Bold Flavors reminds you of an old world dining experience, part steakhouse, part Italian fine dining. The service was outstanding! Not only was he knowledgeable about the menu, but he was also very attentive. He checked on us not once, but after every course. The food was absolutely delicious, down to the dessert. I will highly recommend dining at Joey's. read more

The food and service were. Outstanding. It is a hard to get a reservation. It tends to be loud.

We Visited Joeys with another couple... about our tenth time since they opened. We've never been disappointed!!! Great food, pleasant and professional service and a comfortable room to enjoy. Only problem is a rather high noise level ... guess all the guests are having a great time. The drinks are well mixed and the wines are very reasonably priced. This trip our appetizers were Prince Edward Mussels...out of the shell, in a delicious sauce served in a sort of cocktail glass. If you like mussels then it's a must. The baby arugula "squash blossom"salad and the "Joey's sort of Caesar salad" were big hits. For mains, the Shrimp Limoncello, the Sole special and the Chicken Milanese were winners for all of us. Joey's has a wonderful varied innovative men and interesting specials. Our favorite restaurant!!! read more

I dined with a party of six and everyone was impressed with their appetizers and entrees. The sides that accompany main courses are simple comforts, like the roasted potato wedges and sautéed spinach that are served with the bison fillet and crab cake. The service was impeccable and when food was brought to the table the server didn't begin what I refer to as "the auction": "veal parmigiana?", "pork shank?"; They knew who ordered what. Desserts were wonderful, the Nutella empanadas were a stand-out with a light, delicate dough wrapped around the warm filling. Both food and wine prices are very reasonable. We enjoyed our experience so much that a return trip with friends has been reserved only one week after our first visit. We plan to make regular visits to Joey's. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, and friendly staff. Had a drink at the bar, not the most extensive beer menu but the wine selection was nice. Appetizers (clams) were delicious. The waiter recommended a couple on entrees, so we went with them. Both were a hit, the beggars purse was in a rich vodka sauce with asparagus and prosciutto. The other was the angry shrimp that was spicy but not too much. The bill was very reasonable as well. Will definitely come back. Nice job Joeys read more

Although it is noisy & crowded, the best food ever makes up for those things! The scallops on the half shell, the Shrimp Limoncello, the shrimp & scallops and the duck were awesome. Great desserts also e.g. pecan bourbon pie & Tartuffo were excellent. So if you enjoy good food Joey's is the place. We have dined in all of Joe's restaurants and he is a remarkable chef! read more

Walked in with no reservation during restaurant week. They got us in with a little bit of a wait. All the staff were super attentive, especially our server Cara, she is top notch. The food was excellent!! If you know good food Go here you won't regret it. We will be back again and again. read more

Fabulous smaller comfortable space. Food very good as Joey is an old pro and knows his craft well. Go there you'll love it

Everything is delicious. Nice choice of appetizers and entrées. The wait staff is friendly and welcoming. Great portions.

A great addition to the neighborhood. Great food, great and concerned service and a great vibe. Every dish was a plus. Well worth visiting.

The owner, Joe, came to our table to greet us. Very friendly, competent and professional staff. The food was very good. we started with the lobster baked clams which were delicious. our entrees were also excellent, the beggars purse and the salmon. Prices are just about right. Enjoy read more

Went there for the first time and cant wait to go back! The host is charming and our waiter was attentive. Food was great. We had scallop appetizer, my husband had the fish soecial and I had pork ribs in a barbeque sauce that we fabulous. Not to mention I had a great Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. I highly recommend read more

Had a 6:30pm reservation. We had to wait. There were no tables available. Of course, they asked if we wanted to get a drink at the bar while we waited for a table to open up, which we did not.Five people walked in after us who had reservation and they were no tables available for them either. It took about twenty minutes past our reservation to be seated. We ordered two drinks which took quite a while to get. The restaurant and bar were packed with only one bartender serving both the bar and tables. We had lobster baked clams which were all breadcrumbs, hardly no lobster. My husband ordered the Beggar's purse. Portion was not very big. I ordered shrimp and scallop over linguine which was supposed to be spicy. It was not spicy at all and the red sauce was very watery. The place was packed and extremely loud with servers running around. We ordered second drink which again took a while to get. The best part of the meal was dessert. Pistachio gelato and bourbon pecan pie. The entire experience not very relaxing or enjoyable. Extremely loud. Will not be returning. read more

Absolutely amazing!! First time here. My wife had the Veal Parm and I had then bison filet with a crab cake. Outstanding! Great service! Not expensive. We'll be back again and again! read more
