I don't care much for fish....... - Brad Potter, Verona Wi - 09/28/2009
I don't care much for fish.
That may seem like a funny way to start out a testimonial for a seafood place, so let me explain.
A little over three years ago, my family and I moved up here from Iowa. The ONLY seafood option we had where we were from was Red Lobster. I have been to Red Lobster maybe a half dozen times and always it has left me with a sense of regret, and an empty wallet. Fish was never something I liked the taste of unless it came in a box and in stick form.
However, as we were driving down Mineral Point Rd., I was mentally reminded that fish has good properties for losing weight, something I desperately wanted to do. We looked up the menu online and saw they offered items other than seafood on the menu.
My wife is a fan of seafood so I sucked it up and was prepared for another "Red Lobster" experience. Boy was I surprised.
From the moment you walk in, they don't just "serve" you, they make you feel welcome. Their entire waitstaff is good. They are friendly, fast, and they get to know you and not only anticipate your wants (Jen always brings our drinks out before we order) but they also take an interest in you. This has proven very nice on those nights you can't decide what you want. They will help suggest things they think you might like and most of the time, they are right.
Joey's is about so much more than service though. Remember I said I didn't like fish? Well, Keith, Erin and their crew have suggested several seafood and other dishes that I have never been disappointed with. Keith knows I'm skittish about seafood and has always offered that if I tried something he recommended, and didn't like it, he'd make me something else. Can you get that at Red Lobster?
The short side of that is, not once have I ever sent anything back. And they are concerned about quality. Once I got steak medallions that I ordered medium rare, and when they came out, they were a little more done than that. Keith offered MULTIPLE times to replace them and went back to the kitchen to discuss it with the cooks.
If you've never tried Joey's, even if you don't like seafood, please, make it a point to do so. I promise you will not be dissatisfied and if you for some reason are, Keith and Erin will be sure to make it right.
