Joey Kitchen At University Village

They greet you with champagne and their food is excellent. This is the perfect place for a date night or something special. The staff work really hard and they are always super kind. The ambiance is classy and they're great at making people feel comfortable. Also, they have killer cocktails. Their bartenders have serious skill. I highly recommend this place! Love, love, love :

The food is exceptionally delicious, and the service is phenomenal! We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, quickly seated in the best spot. Erica was super courteous and had wonderful suggestions. I think I am officially in love with Joey's fried cauliflower dish with lime and guacamole dip. My husband ordered the burger from Happy Hour menu that was yummy too. Thank you for doing such a great job! We will be back!

I went to Joey to meet a friend for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by many things, from the complementary champagne upon entry to the food. I recommend reservations as it made the procession to our table a far more pleasing experience. We were immediately greeted and seated after our names were confirmed. The menus are the perfect length; they have an array of appetizers, meats, and proteins to select from to ensure you find the perfect pairing. The cocktails, while more expensive, are absolutely delicious- for those who don't imbibe, a mocktail is also an incredible option. I had the Joey Martini(dirty) with three stuffed olives and Grey Goose vodka; WOW! It is the best martini I've had in Seattle- granted, it cost nearly $30. The plates are gorgeously arranged. I ordered the flank steak with seared salmon, while my friend had the tikka masala. The flavors are absolutely on-point and exceeded all expectations. The seared salmon had a sugary crisp on top, which paired well with the medium-rare beef, which was also perfectly cooked. We ended up without a desert, but I look forward to trying it in the future. If I had to make a gripe about anything, it would be that the music is too loud and the prices are too high for the seven-ounce flank steak, but given a confluence of factors, I understand. Joey may not provide anything new to American dining, but they do a great job giving a creative flair to classic plates.

We were exhausted after several days in the hospital waiting rooms while a relative was having surgery. With the procedure over, and the patient resting in recovery, we finally had a chance to get out and get something to eat. We chose JOEY Kitchen and were so glad we did. With HS graduation groups arriving, we were lucky to snag a seat. Ordered a nice bottle of Cab. Franc, and for dinner the Baha Fish Tacos and the Hand Pressed Burger. Both were excellent. The tacos were a combination of cod and prawns and guacamole...along with a side of fries. The hand pressed burger had everything on it and a very tasty secret sauce . Our server was Lilly and she was great...attentive, personable, efficient. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I would definitely come back.

Several family members I were extremely pleased that we visited Joey Kitchen recently for lunch. It’s a great location, has a vibrant inviting atmosphere, the complimentary glass of champagne was a nice touch! Our server, Casey was very friendly attentive to our requests, and the food was excellent. Above all, the manager, Mike, circulated around the busy restaurant to ensure everything was running smoothly. I will definitely be back my next visit to Seattle will recommend this restaurant to others. Thanks Mike, for a superb lunch experience!
