Curiously Carmen

JOEY Bentall One, Downtown Van

May 15, 2014 1 Comment

I apologize for the lack of restaurant reviews lately. My summer semester started a week ago, and the assignments are already piling up! The good news is that one of my courses will be done in half the normal time, since it’s an intersession course, so I will have a lot more time once it is over. But for now, I am swamped with course assignments, starting my application process for co-op, work, and trying to squeeze in a social life still. Hence, my attempt at squeezing in a social life results in this restaurant review. It was one of my childhood best friend’s birthday last week, so a small group of us converged over great food at Joey!
photoThere are actually two JOEY restaurants on Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver. One is the actual JOEY Burrard, while the other is JOEY Bentall One. Bentall One is located a block away from Burrard skytrain. I was a bit confused at first since my friend told me it was the Burrard location, but when I got there, it said Bentall One. Thankfully, I was at the right location! As always, the decor and ambiance was very fancy and lively. There were a lot of professionals having drinks and appies at this location.
10331737_10201669036081177_1250996040_nSince I was running late due to my class, they decided to order an appy while waiting for me to arrive. They were also nice enough to save me a piece of the pesto shrimp flatbread, $14.50. It was very doughy and loaded with a lot of ingredients on the top. They were also generous with the amount of shrimp. I was really considering ordering this as my main dish, but decided on getting something else.
photo (3)I ordered the chicken souvlaki served with skinny fries, $14.50. I was surprised when the dish came out, because I was expecting it to be on a bed of rice, with a chicken skewer. However, this wrap was really filling and delicious nonetheless. The chicken was grilled and had a hint of smokiness to it, while the other veggies and cheese inside tasted really fresh. The pita bread wrap was also very soft.
photo (4)Friend’s lobster grilled cheese, with brie, cheddar, and and cocktail sauce $15. I had a bite of the sandwich, and really enjoyed the strong flavour of cheddar in it. The lobster was mixed inside with the warm cheddar and brie cheese.
photo (5)Some of these I didn’t get a chance to taste, so I will unfortunately just have to give you guys the name and price.  Ahi tuna tacos – $12.
photo (2)Bacon cheddar burger, sub yam fries $15.25.
photo (6)The 500 salad – organic quinoa, barley, watermelon radish, mint, tomatoes, avocado $13.50.
photo (1)If the birthday girl wants to indulge in dessert, she is allowed to. She decided to order the molten lava chocolate souffle, $8.25. Yes, it looks and sounds as good as it tastes! Thick, warm dark chocolate slowly oozes out of the molten lava cake after you dig in. The chocolate was very creamy and smooth. Paired with the raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream, it is seriously a match made in heaven.

As always, service was attentive despite the restaurant being relatively busy. I loved how the place had high ceilings, it made it feel very spacious. Music was very upbeat, and a lot of chatter all around. Is it just me, or do you guys love the noise of different merged conversations as well?  If I had a job in downtown, I would definitely come here after work for some appetizers and drinks with my coworkers! A student can dream…

    I don’t agree, look at: http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2016/06/maybelline-superstay-better-skin-skin-transforming-powder-review-swatches.html Sincerely, Constance
