    Joey’s have great atmosphere and vibe. I went for brunch with my girls and we had lovely time. We were seated at the patio, our server was very kind and polite but slow. I think the service is slow as this place is busy or may be as we were sitting outside. But food was very good and good portion size. We will surely visit again. Thanks
