    Excellent meal at Joey’s Bentall! Tried the cod for the first time, what a delicious dinner. I will be back just for the cod! The kids shared a cheeseburger and hubby had the katsu chicken salad, always delicious. The restaurant was busy, pre hockey game crowd. Our waiter Thomas G, was a star! He added to an already great meal, he was attentive in all the right ways, with a smile and a sense of humour.

    The ambience inside is so nice and they have such beautiful decorations. Unfortunately we were seated in the side patio, which was heated and also comfortable, but we actually made a reservation for inside. The food was amazing and there was so much to choose for! Service was also super nice! I would definitely recommend it:)
