Editorial Review for Joeys – by Anna Roth
The Scene
This smartly casual Canadian chain expanding south of the border offers swank leather menus, a backlit bar, leather chairs, big banquette booths and a money-shot view of Lake Union and Queen Anne. Suits with expense accounts take over at lunch; at night, it's a combo of a guys-night-out crowd mixed with young professionals enjoying the scenery. Servers are gorgeous as a rule, and can rattle off the menu by heart.
The Food
The restaurant's inventive neo-American fare is better than it lets on. Playful ahi tuna tacos pack wonton "taco shells" with Asian coleslaw and a slightly spicy wasabi-lime aioli. Salad-lovers order the Evil Jungle Noodle Salad, chock full of grilled chicken breast, mango and avocado with a gingery dressing. The West Coast Halibut is Indian-themed, sitting in a curry yogurt honey sauce. Dessert includes an oozing molten chocolate lave souffle and a sweet passion fruit cheesecake.

I had been to Joey's before, with a group of friends, for cocktails and light snacks - we stayed in the (stylish) bar section and it was packed, Friday happy hour - lots of young people, and where DO they find the wait staff? not one that could even be called homely or average looking. My mom and aunt were coming to Seattle for a visit and I wanted them to try the Bellini - we went during the week, on Tuesday, at an off-peak time (2 pm); it was glorious weather, we sat outside and watched the sea planes, and ordered snacks and cocktails - we were seated promptly, were fortunate to have Danny as our waiter (who was surprised to find out he had been mentioned favorably in these reviews); he was pleasent and helpful; food was quite good, mom LOVE the Bellini - she does like sweet "harmless" drinks; both were very impressed. I had a chance to see the rest of the restaurant and was impressed with its sleek interior - great design with dark wood and pendant lights over the tables. At some point I will have to put them to the test and go for dinner. But if in doubt, definitely do as I did, go off hours when the weather is nice, sit outside and have a great time ..... and maybe even ask for Danny.
Pros: Ambience, cocktails, waitstaff, appetizers
Cons: potential for dis-organization I think
