While visiting LA last week Friday, for my husband’s birthday, we stopped in after seeing great reviews on TikTok and this place did not disappoint. We were greeted with great attitudes, glasses of champagne, and a great ambiance! The restaurant itself boasts of matte black trimmings, wood tones, warm lighting, and textures like marble, dark tan leather and wicker. It’s a whole vibe! Service was great! Our server was wonderful and the food was amazing! We’re back home in GA and I’m still craving the chargrilled pork chop, steak and lobster combo and the bang bang chicken! All delicious! I will go there every time I’m in LA.

I had a lot of fun going here. Parking was like $44 for overnight or all night maximum. I got it validated at Joey DTLA so it got subtracted $40 so it was only four dollars. I came in I did a walk-in waited about 25 minutes. I was served complementary champagne while waiting for my table. That felt like an upscale service. Restroom hallway was a different experience than usual. It felt like walking into a dungeon or Harry Potter chamber of secrets. It was mysterious, Gothic like, and it was pretty clean too. There were around 5 private unisex restrooms. Once I was able to get my table, I was greeted by server Vanessa. She asked me for my food restrictions and she accommodated me really well. Gave me some time to find what I wanted to order with my party and I was served in a timely manner. I feel like service was exceptional and I enjoyed catching up with my cousins while eating a great meal with them here at Joey DTLA. I had the low coconut alcohol drink, and it was refreshing for the evening. Also tasted the spaghetti garlic steak. It was cooked to perfection. I love the tenderness, as well as, the spicy crab dip. I loved it, especially since crab season. I have been craving crab. I enjoyed the sushi, it was delicious and the citrus lime enhanced the flavor. I had a great time enjoying the meal and I would come back. It had TVs with the sports on and many tables, great even if I had to wait highly recommend. I also liked the jacket hooks by the booth. Things I didn’t like as much: Pretty noisy and low lighting. I heard Chris Brown songs played 3 times in a row. That’s the only things I disliked. This was the reason I removed a star.

First time visiting JOEY DTLA to celebrate a birthday on a busy Saturday night. Located within The Bloc outdoor shopping center. The restaurant offers complimentary champagne (you might need to ask the hosts about availability) near the front entrance. The decor has a modern, stylish vibe and a lively atmosphere. Our party had a reservation and were seated promptly in a booth near the kitchen. The food and drinks were tasty and arrived pretty fast. Five stars for our server Chase, who gave exceptional, friendly service with great food and drink recommendations. He also made sure the birthday girl felt special during dinner. All the food was prepared perfectly, no complaints there. There's a parking structure on the corner of The Bloc, but it can get pretty expensive. It's $4 a minute with a max daily rate of $44. There are more affordable parking lots nearby! Dinner (as pictured): Food: Herb Crust Salmon, Steak and Sushi plate, Apple Pie, Mini French Dips, and Molten Lava Cake. Drinks: Coconut Smash (low proof cocktail), Strawberry Cool (zero proof), and Sangria. I’m sure their other cocktails are worth a try (responsibly) too!
