    On arrival although the website said 'accessible' it was through the front door but not to a table. A manager appeared with a couple of strong fellas and carried a table and special chairs to a level that we could dine at, this was OUTSTANDING service. Thank you SO MUCH. My daughter had the jerk sliders and said they were very good, a bit too 'hot' for me but cooked juicy and beautiful. She had the beef short rib with some dietary modifications which were most cheerfully made. I had the Thai Noodle Bowl with a small caesar salad and both were very delicious. It was 1/2 price for a bottle of wine on Tuesday so all in this was an amazing experience for us. Thank you to everyone involved in making this a special evening.

    After visiting the 17 th floor Writers Room for dinner i decided to join Joni’s for an additional dink at the fabulous bar. I noticed a new face. At Joni’s the turnover is rare. Her name is EMMA. I ordered a fabulous Peroni beer. Emma I found very welcoming, friendly, and very professional. Her conversational skills are very engaging which led me to enjoy a perfect Japanese whiskey. The standards are very high at Joni’s and I feel Emma is a perfect fit for Joni. I am a regular here. It will be my pleasure to return and to be served by her and also the wonderful team Joni. Thank you Joni for another wonderful evening, All my visits exceed the previous ones. Don Burrell

    We had a group get together here. Staff were very helpful and provided two tables of 6 each for our group next to each other. They also coordinated our meals and bills etc so we finished together . The food and service were both excellent and we had a thoroughly enjoyable outing . Some members of your group visited the AGO and the Gift Shop to round out the event .
