Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
JOEY Rideau offers an inviting atmosphere with "delicious food" and "exceptional service." Guests rave about the "outstanding décor" and memorable Mediterranean dishes. While some found the pricing high and music volume loud, many praise the "great ambiance" and "attentive staff." Ideal for lively gatherings, though service consistency could improve.

    I’ve only been twice as I’m from out of town - I organized a lunch with friends and I wasn’t deceived- the food was excellent! We’ll be there again for sure. I highly recommend

    It’s a very upscale restaurant therefore on the much more expensive side. It lot smaller then I expected however we were seated quickly. It was very loud and hard to have a conversation over all the noise.

    We specifically reserved for the lounge, high top table, but when we got there, we were seated in the regular dining area even though the lounge was only half full. The woman that brought us to our seat, said they didn’t have staff for the lounge area, and there was lots of people waiting for tables. My husband ordered a bowl without cilantro, and it came full of cilantro that he had to pick out and the lighting was so so dark, we could barely see our meals. The food was delicious as always, and our server was lovely despite the errors.

    We requested a booth on the reservation and they didnt reserve one at first but then were able to accomodate us. The server was great, very friendly and quick. The food and drinks were delicious. Ambience is perfect for all occasions. Only note the prime rib cut was very fatty, and it took 3 ladies at the front to issue me a single gift card… more training i think is needed.
