We have been here twice and were pleasantly surprised both times. I absolutely loved the salmon. I would definitely recommend their soups. So delicious. Definitely a place worth a try!
Always great food. Excellent bar and service. They always offer good specials in addition to the standard menu.
We love the food, service, ambiance....all of it at Joey's! The pasta dishes, soups, salads, appetizers...all good!Only wish they still had that amazing chocolate/walnut/caramel cake..
My gf and I ate there last Saturday. The meal, service, etc was fantastic. Highly recommend
Five stars for sure. The food was amazing! We had a birthday party there last night with 7 of us in attendance. Everyone loved their food and the portions were very generous. Fresh and tasty! And our server Tracy was attentive, fun and a distinct pleasure!
Despite reservations, we had to wait quite a while (20 mins.) to get a seat for 3. For that, I give 4 stars. The place was packed - popular with seating at the bar and near it (tall tables) as well as a dining area (lower tables). I did see stairs with people coming down, but I didn't go up to check. The soup, bread, ravioli, and scallop dish were all tasty and fresh. The pricing was high as expected in NY. However, I have no complaints on the food. Our wait staff was friendly. I read about the up charges, and I have to say that I did not look at the receipt closely to catch up-charges.
It has been 7 years since my last review. I finally had a chance to get back to Rochester after a handful of years away. I have a phone phobia. At 54 years old, you'd think I'd be over that by now...but online reservations are so much easier than having to deal with a busy (sometimes rude) host/hostess over the phone. Thanks Joey's for letting us with telephobia (I just learned that word today!) make online reservations. To the others, get with the times...or don't, let Joey's take your business. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated promptly. Chris was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing throughout the evening for my daughter and I. I hadn't had Chicken French since my daughter graduated college and left Rochester. Although Chris tried, he wasn't able to talk me out of ordering something else w/ an amazing "specials" list. My daughter ordered Chicken Joey's. Once again, the food was absolutely incredible. The Chicken French was cooked perfectly. My daughter raved about her Chicken Joey's. The table behind us saw her order and I believe regretted their order, as I overheard them asking what she had received. Prior to receiving my entrée, I had a bowl of Pasta Fagioli. Yes, superb as well. My only gripe, and it's a minor one, is that they don't have beer on tap. Crazy because of the local beer scene is quite good. Give some local breweries some love and get their beer in your restaurant...on tap. There are some amazing Italian restaurants in Rochester. Joey's has to be near the top of the list. The ambiance. The food. The wonderful staff. Everything seems to be well run and it shows. I wish I didn't live across country so I could enjoy this more often.

A wonderful place for a date night with my lovely wife! There is a nice little bar area just past the entrance. Multiple dining areas on two floors allow for a more intimate dining experience. Ian was our server and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable about the menu, the specials and the wine list and on top of everything. He made a special evening run smoothly. The food was plentiful and very, very good. We are looking forward to visiting again.
Moving up from a 2 star review to a 4. This time our server was nice, helpful and had a sense of humor. His recommendation to try the chicken french wasn't disappointing. The sauce had a nice lemon flavor to it. The cocktails were tasty. The lentil soup was surprisingly delicious.
