    Sarti spritz
    Mare H.

    Joey Uptown has been a regular spot for me for the past few years. What I appreciate and enjoy the most about this place is that its always warm and inviting. Be it grabbing a drink after shopping, a quick bite that doesn't have a rush behind it, to a cozy and luxe Friday Dinner; Joey has hit every note for me. Yesterday I decided to hit up happy hour after running errands and perusing the Galleria. The bartender, who's name I did not get (blonde hair with glasses... she was such a sweetheart!!), was excellent with recommendations and truly knew her wine and spirits. Went with the Burger and Wine Combo as well as a Sarti Spritz this time around. Burger was well cooked and flavorful, but I didn't care for the grilled onions (personal preference). On prior visits, I've had the Tofu Lettuce Wraps, the Chicken Satay as well as my hands down favorite white wine Garzon. Joey's will stay one of my favorite places as it has mastered the ability to be luxe and low key at the same time; casual luxury at its best.

    Everything was great (except the French fries, they were overcooked). Upon entering the building, the smell of food being prepared with fresh herbs greeted our noses. We received a complimentary glass of champagne while we waited to be seated (very nice touch), the greeter was very pleasant and helpful. Our waiter was Victor. He was so sweet, polite and patient with us. He made sure to make notes in reference to my allergies, he took our orders after providing several delicious options and we enjoyed all of them. This was the BEST experience AND the most delicious food we had our entire weekend! Everybody enjoyed their food and I must say there is no way I will return to Houston without having dinner at Joey's! Chefs kiss!!

    I love Joey. Everything from the aesthetic to the food is always on point. If you're boujie and love a good upscale dinner, this is definitely the spot. They even greet you with a complimentary glass of champagne as soon as you walk in which sets the tone for the whole experience. I brought my girl here for a anniversary date night and we had such a good time. Madeline was our server and she was amazing. I believe Monica was the manager and she made sure everything was perfect too. The food came out fresh, flavorful and every dish was delicious. This is also the biggest Joey location I've been to and the whole vibe made the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite places and I'll absolutely be back.

    The spaghetti lobster with steak is so bomb the flavors all together is exciting and fulfilling! Thank you chef! This is my first time at this location, I use to go to the one DTLA when I use to live there! Many memories there and now I'm starting new ones here! THANK You Teagan for your best service! We will be back!

    Lobster Spaghetti is very delicious

    Ceviche

    Great ambiance as you're welcomed in they offer you a glass of champagne. The music is always upbeat and lively. The perfect Happy Hour spot! Their Ceviche was the best I've ever had.... WHYYYY did y'all take it off the menu??? Bring that back ASAP!!!. All the food is good from their sushi cones to the hibachi wings you can't go wrong with Joey Uptown in Houston.

    Service was great as usual, delicious food as usual! Went for a work lunch and ordered their Chicken Parmesan always 10/10 and tried their Lobster spaghetti it was super good! Portions can be shareable. Classy spacious restaurant. I've come back several times and will continue to.

    Yummy food and drinks with great vibes. The ceviche was delicious as well as the truffle fries. Cocktails are delicious as well. For my entree I got the steak and lobster spaghetti. My steak was cooked perfectly and the lobster was nice and tender.

    Crispy Nigiri

    It is particular place around Galleria. Valet parking is $12 plus. The food service is very fast. We order Mini Short Rib to share and had Crispy Nigiri ( sushi on rice cake instead of rice) and Tuna Poke Bowl as main dishes. The flavor was not exceptional and the portion was kind of small for the price you pay. The Poke Bowl had too much rice not enough tuna. It is a convenient place to dine. I am not around here, but Houston has so many great places to choose from.

    Finally made it to Joey Uptown and it did not disappoint. I ordered the steak and ravioli, and both were sooo good. perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave. I also had a peach bellini and it was just as good--light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The vibe was really nice too, great for a night out or even a cute dinner spot. Definitely coming back to try more things on the menu. Also our waitress brought us a complimentary crème brulee cheesecake, and it was so delicious!

    Valet is a few steps from the front door of JOEY Uptown, which is super convenient because the Galleria is so huge. The place is open and airy with a garden vibe; lots of huge windows. Service was impeccable! The drinks are fantastic! My steak was cooked to a perfect medium. My husband's blackened chicken was super juicy and tender as well. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

    We came here for lunch on Easter. We were seated right away. You need to make reservations here as there was a wait This is a beautiful restaurant. Complementary mimosas or a glass of orange juice was made available to all guests - not sure if this was an easter gift or if this is done on the weekends; nonetheless, it was a nice touch. The server immediately came over with menu and spoke to us for a bit. The server had some recommendations, both yays and nays - I liked this when he suggested certain dishes and was not a fan of others. He also suggested side orders - we were receptive to his thoughts. Service was outstanding. The food came out and it was picture perfect. It is an expensive place. For a special occasion or holiday this is a nice place to go.

    Steak and shrimp ravioli. Cooked exactly as requested.

    Within walking distance to The Westin Hotel @ The Galleria, we choose this place over Del Fresco's because we are in Fort Worth and wanted something we could not visit at home. On Easter Eve, we were worried we would have a hard time getting seated. The wait for a party of 3 would have been about 30 minutes, not bad for 7PM. We requested the bar top in order to avoid the short wait and were settled immediately. The bar staff, as individuals were pleasant and stayed busy the entire time we were seated. Unfortunately the service was not so great. We ordered our initial drinks but seemed to wait a little long to place our food order. Service never came back to ensure our food came out correctly or to check on our drinks. My husband had to physically wave down one of the bar staff in order to order an additional drink. The chicken fajitas, lobster spaghetti, and steak & shrimp raviolis were thankfully cooked to order and were good. The lady sitting next to us ordered the steak & shrimp ravioli as well and requested sauce from the server. She waited for about 5 minutes before asking for the sauce again from one of the bar staff. By the time her sauce arrived, her entire meal for cold. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and has great patio type seating. The mixture of visitors were interesting. There were numerous groups eating at Joey's with what might be described as club attire. The lighting during our visit had a low setting that could create ambiance for dates and special occasions. As good as the food and the setting was, the low rating is a result of the lack of service we received after seeing the reviews posted here. I hope others have better experiences than we did. When these challenges were raised with the manager he was interested in hearing what improvements could be made and did not make excuses.

    Ask the Community - JOEY Uptown

    To they still have valet?

    $12

    Is there handicapped parking (van accessible)? We don't valet because of our specially equipped van.)

    They have valet parking that is very convenient.

    Does Joey Uptown validate parking?

    They don't validate

    What are the prices?

    I would budget $80-100 pp with 1-2 drinks each

    Do they take reservations for 15 people?

    Yes, call ahead. I called a few days before our dinner to make a reservation for a large party.

    Are you allowed to bring a cake to celebrate a birthday?

    They discourage it, however if your party is larger than 6 they will, due to the mandatory 20% gratuity added for large parties.

    What time is happy hour and what days?

    Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 4pm to 7pm

    Is there brunch?

    Yes.

    What time does their kitchen close?

    11:30pm

    Do you have a private room for groups? If so, for how many people? Thanks!

    Yes, they do

    Do they have valet parking?

    Yes! It's a third party with the mall but it is an option.

    Can you bring your own wine bottles? No one answers the phone btw - have been on hold for over 10 minutes

    No. They have their own bar, it's a regular chained restaurant. It's not a byob.

    I heard there was a table minimum on groups over 6 ppl. Is this accurate and what is the amount (per table or person)?

    Hi, I recently called the establishment and they have informed me that there is a minimum for groups over 14 people -- which will entail a direct deposit and a minimum spending of $100/per person, which is insane!

    What time do they stop serving food??? It's 9am and no one is answering the phone when I called the restaurant?…

    They don't open until 11:30 am until midnight

    What's the dress code?

    Trendy and business casual

    Do they have a weekend brunch menu?

    No they do not

    How late they stop serving food?

    They stop at Midnight. At least on a Thursday!

    Are kids welcomed?

    It's not really a place for kids, but would say it's ok for a mature kid who could enjoy the food. Maybe you want to be seated in the air conditioned patio area where it's has bright sunlight and is a little more casual. That's where we sat and…

We walked and and you had to have reservations however they had 2 spots at the bar upstairs so we sat there. It was a fine dining place and we were a bit casual but still nice where we didn't stick out so terribly..lol SERVICE: We were probably at the bar I would say at least 10 mins before anyone greeted us. And 2 ladies to our right may have been there I would say about 15 mins before us, only b/c they didn't have anything in front of them just yet. Looked like thwy hadn't been there long, however, evwrytime I turned around this guy kept checking on them making sure they were good. He seemed to be some sort of manager. Anyhoo, finally a server came and greeted us. She had a unique name that now I have forgotten, but anyhoo, she was really nice. It was restaurante month there so we took advantage of there pre-made menu that came with a 3 course meal excluding drinks. We were served our drinks and not to long our apps. And the ladies next to us may have been 5 mins in between us ordering. However their food would come out fast. Once our apps were finished I know it had to have been 20 mins or longer before our food came out whereas the ladies next to use finished there apps not to long before us and had their food in the next 10 mins or so. They were actually just about done eating their main course and our food hadn't even came out yet. Then a server brought us over the desserts and I was like we hadn't had our meal yet. At this point I was a bit upset b/c I felt like since we were 2 women of color we were being over looked. There wasn't many ppl of color in this place. Matter-of-fact I think I only saw one other table that had ppl of color sitting at it. Other than that it was just us. So I th3n ask for a manager. He came, same guy that had been fawning over the ladies next to us, amd he gave some lame excuse for th3 delay and mix up with the desserts and offered us a glass of Champagne, I don't even like Champagne, he could have offered either a drink of our choice of maybe a bit off the bill for the delay. I understood it was busy, but they also know it was restaurant week and they wasn't a delay with the ladies next to us. So I felt like he was a bit dismissive and I did t appreciate it. If it hadn't been for the service or our waiter we might not have stayed. FOOD: Now I will say the food was soo good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the beef salad although it came stacked and looked so great and my friend had the meatballs which she raved about. For dinner we both had the salmon which was superb. So no complaints here. Then the desserts. I had the carrot cake and she had the chocolate genache cake. They were delightful AMBIANCE: It was packed but not uncomfortable it was just a lot of ppl. But it also was quite a big place. They had a downstairs, upstairs and an outside area, so lots of seating, however they were extremely full. The bar was quite roomy and luckily we were able to take the end corner part which was perfect, b/c not a lot of ppl passing by us. Like we had our own little section. All in all is was nice, I would only go back during restaurant month or with a date who was paging b/c outside the prepaid menu which was $55 (not including drinks) most meals went from $40-$200pp and that is no exaggeration. So yea it was quite the fine dining experience.

I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

    Credence was such a good experience from beginning to end. The food was outstanding, the service…read morewas attentive without being overbearing, and our server gave genuinely great recommendations. The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.
