Since Alex was leaving for Georgia Tech, we decided to treat him to a dinner (and to celebrate his past birthday, for which we were absent).
I had found JOEY Valley Fair on Google Maps, and was surprised to see so many high ratings (for a local restaurant I had never heard about). I was intrigued, and Inna and I made reservations while we were in Scotland. (Note: reservations need to be made well in advance.)
After arriving at 18:30 and parking in the nearby Valley Fair mall, we walked a few steps outside to find JOEY's. It definitely had the L.A. / Southern California vibe about it. We were immediately offered drinks while we waited for our table to be ready (it did not take long).
We sat down, looked at the menu, and talked to the waiter. We decided to order the following items:
- Drinks: Sparkling Water x 2, GL Tost x 2
- Appetizer: Spicy Crab Dip, Gyoza
- Alex: Steak & Spaghetti with Lobster
- Boris: Mediterranean Bowl
- Inna: Tuna Poke Bowl
- Dessert: Tap Cake
The Spicy Crab Dip was excellent, as I did not try Gyoza (as I don't like pork). My Mediterranean Bowl was not bad. Inna loved her Tuna Poke, and Alex enjoyed his Steak, Lobster, and Spaghetti.
The Tap Cake dessert was excellent, too (though perhaps a bit too sweet.) Service was very fast and efficient. The restaurant was very expensive, but the food was pretty good and the service excellent.
