- EEricaNew Orleans / Louisiana •3 reviews5.0Dined todaySo my husband and I decided to celebrate his birthday in style, and WOW did we hit the jackpot with this place! From the moment we pulled up, we knew we were in for a treat. We valet parked for just $15—because who doesn’t love convenience?!—then we strutted in like VIPs. Since we went on a weekday, it wasn’t too crazy, but we were still greeted with champagne and smiles that could light up the whole room. We had a 7:30 p.m. reservation, but only had to wait about 7 minutes to be seated. No biggie—hello selfie time and soaking in the vibe! When we finally sat down, the table was set up perfectly—intimate, cozy, and just right for a birthday dinner. And what’s this? Complimentary glasses of wine and a birthday card for my hubby? Love that personal touch! The manager swooped in like a birthday fairy, gave us her warmest well wishes, and made sure we knew she was ready to cater to our every whim. Not even 5 minutes later, our bubbly waitress came by with water, menu tips, and a vibe so positive I thought she might actually be the happiest person on earth. Her recommendations? On. Point. We ordered everything she suggested, and let me tell you, everything was worth it. Then, as if by magic, our main waiter appeared—also sweet, upbeat, and looking sharp—and took our orders for appetizers and entrees. We started with the cauliflower, hibachi wings, and lettuce wraps. Babe, you ever had food so good you want to lick your fingers but you're too busy side-eyeing the people around you to make sure they’re not judging? Yeah. That happened. For entrees, I went for the steak and crab cake (flavor explosion, by the way), and my husband got the chicken parmesan. The chicken parm? He was in heaven. The tomato sauce was a little strong for me, but honestly? Still tasty! We skipped dessert—because, well, we could barely move after all that deliciousness—but next time, that butter cake is mine! Long story short: Joey Uptown? You did NOT disappoint. A perfect 10 from us, and we’llMore infoJOEY UptownPrice: Moderate• American• West Side•4.7
- MMarciaVIPHouston •96 reviews5.0Dined todayThis was our first visit- and we’ll be back. The food was the star- delicious flavors, textures and combinations. Plating was good but not great. The server was very (too?) enthusiastic, and the noise was manageable. There was sufficient light at the table to read the menu. Tables were close but navigable for able-bodied folks. If you have never tried Persian food, and/or you are a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, try Rumi’s!More infoRumi's Kitchen - HoustonPrice: Expensive• Persian• Galleria / Uptown•4.8
