JOEY Uptown

Yes, JOEY Uptown is a popular date-night spot. Guests frequently mention the elegant, moody ambiance, complimentary sparkling wine on arrival, and thoughtful service that makes special occasions feel elevated. The menu (steaks, lobster spaghetti, sushi cones, and shareable starters) and polished cocktails support a romantic, dressed-up evening. For a quieter table, try a weekday dinner or an early seating on weekends and mention if you’re celebrating so the team can add a special touch.

Portions are typical for an upscale American restaurant, mains are plated as full entrees and shareable starters are sized for passing around the table. Guests often enjoy sharing the spicy crab dip, hummus, or Steak & Ravioli Bianco as a table course, while steaks, lobster spaghetti and mains are satisfying as entrees. A few guests noted portions felt smaller on some visits relative to price, so ordering an appetizer to share is a reliable approach.

Yes, JOEY Uptown serves a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. Guests regularly mention craft cocktails (Smoke Old Fashioned, Passion Fruit Lemon Drop), an on-arrival glass of sparkling wine, and an extensive wine list. The restaurant also runs a happy hour with discounted drinks, making it a good spot for cocktails or a celebratory drink.

Several dishes come up repeatedly: the Steak & Ravioli Bianco, Lobster Spaghetti, blackened (Cajun) chicken, sushi cones and the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake are guest favorites.

Busiest: Friday and Saturday evenings (late-night crowd) and popular weekend times, guests often describe lively, bustling nights. Quietest: weekday lunches and early-week dinners tend to be calmer and better for conversations. Happy hour draws a crowd too, especially for discounted drinks and small plates, but it’s generally less packed than prime weekend dinner service.

It depends on your goal: choose Friday or Saturday if you want a lively, trendy night out; choose midweek (Tuesday–Thursday) or weekday lunch for a quieter, more relaxed meal. If you’re after drink deals or a casual cocktail hour, attend happy hour Mon–Fri (3–6 PM).
