JOEY Bell Tower

“real talk ok their JOEY Burger wiht aged cheddar and bacon is seriously a masterpiece - thick juicy patty cooked perfectly medium, bacon is crispy and doesn't overpower it and the soft pretzel bun actually holds it all together. got their IPA with it too and it had that hoppy bite that cuts thru the richness really well big time”

“service was weirdly slow for a tuesday nite tho - like 20 mins just to order drinks and the place wasnt even that full”

“teh ribeye was cooked exactly how i asked for it - medium-rare with a good char on the outside and juicy pink center. and the garlic mashed potatoes were REAL, not instant”

“real talk it took forever to get our server's attention for teh bill even tho teh place wasn't even that busy on a tuesday night”

“tehir signature steak presentation was actually Instagram-worthy ngl - perfectly cross-hatched grill marks, vibrant chimichurri pooled all around the plate, those golden roasted fingerling potatoes arranged like little gems”

“teh LIGHTING was way too dim tho like even with my phone's nite mode working overtime i still couldn't get good photos”

“those Korean BBQ tacos tho? different breed. tender bulgogi with pickled veggies and sriracha aioli. yo actual street food vibes in like an upscale spot”

“parking downtown is a niteMARE. literally circled like 3 times before finding a spot two blocks away”

“so happy i found their Beyond Burger and it was actually amaazing - perfectly seasoned with a really good char, fresh avocado on top and the brioche bun didn't even fall apart. lowkey the server actually knew which sauces were vegan and even offered to swap the regular fries for their crispy sweet potato ones which was great”

“only plant-based APPETIZER was basically just a hummus plate that felt like an afterthought honestly compared to all the creative meat starters everyone else was getting”

“teh seared ahi tuna was like textural perfection - that contrast between the warm sesame-crusted outside and the cool buttery inside was incredible tbh. so like the wasabi aioli had just enough heat without overpowering the delicate fish which was perfect lol”

“my cocktail came out disappointingly warm like the ice had already melted before it got to me which totally diluted what shouldve been a crisp cold drink”

“actually teh salmon was clearly fresh, not farmed - had that bright coral color adn firm texture came wiht a bunch of seasonal vegetables that were steamed properly so THEY actually retained nutrients and taste not gonna lie”

“teh caesar salad was literally DROWNING in dressing and way too much bacon bits... had to be like 600+ calories for what's supposed to be a lighter starter option”
