About the restaurant

JOEY Restaurants marries iconic hospitality with a handcrafted, locally and globally-inspired menu from award-winning chefs, to bring an unparalleled guest experience. Instead of just one chef, JOEY has a whole team of celebrated Executive Chefs bringing you an experience you can't get anywhere else. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan Village, our third Southern California location feels like a lush oasis. Extending over 9,400 square feet with an expansive 2,160 square foot patio, there’s plenty of room for all. Vibrant abstract artwork by local California artist Amber Goldhammer gives this space the positive vibes of an endless summer.

The waitstaff was great, and the food very good. The sound level was considerably more than "energetic," and the price was more than $$. Overall, though, a good experience!

As usual, the food was superb! Our server James was excellent! Very friendly, made great suggestions, and very efficient! We enjoyed celebrating my parents 67th wedding anniversary & my sister’s birthday with close friends we hadn’t seen for awhile, and they really enjoyed North Italia too! Highly recommend!

Had a great time dining with my wife at moonshadows. We started at the bar and worked our way to our table. The staff was kind enough to sit us by the window. Great views of the water and great food to go with it.
