If you like dining with blasting music, this is your place! Food and view are great, but music is so loud you can't talk to your guests.

Food nasty very bland no seasoning no flavor no taste drinks trash not made well and it seems like the Hispanic hostess maybe racist I do not appreciate the way I was treated and disregarded train your staff appropriately or hire new ones that show respect to everyone no matter the race or ethnicity.

Beautiful location and restaurant. Brunch was great! I can only imagine how dinner would taste. I'll be back soon. Waitress was sweet and attentive. Highly recommend đ«¶

Such a cute spot with great vibesâperfect for a romantic dinner on the beach. You can sit indoors or outdoors, but I'd definitely recommend a reservation. Just keep in mind that it gets chilly and windy after sunset. Food-wise, it was hit or miss. The tzatziki dip was super refreshing, but the crusted sea bass had zero flavor (though it was cooked well). Overall, the food was decent, but not amazing. Service was just okayânot bad, but nothing special. I get the hype, and it's a great place for apps and drinks, but I wouldn't come here expecting an incredible meal.

Server forgot to put in our apps. Brought our main course then said she forgot. I had to repeat like 5 times what we wanted and you could tell she really just wanted to go home and didn't care. This place fell off hard.

Atmosphere was fun and live. If you are going to come here you are going for the views and drink not the food. They accommodated us well !

My wife and I booked the "Veuve" at the Sun Club on March 27. When we arrived, we were told they did not have our reservation. Showed them the confirmation email, but it didn't matter. We were told to return to the entrance and talk to multiple people who kept redirecting us to the restaurant. When we went back to the restaurant, they "found" our reservation, yet we were told that they had stopped doing the "Veuve" at the Sun Club. We told them that we paid over $200 for the event, and they told us that it was taken off their website, and they were not sure how we were able to get tickets for the event. The manager met us and apologized and provided a fruit basket, which was nice, but the attitude of the staff was very rude. It seemed like a hassle to take care of their customers. Would like to go back to try it again but not sure I will unless things and attitudes change.

Never as good as the original. Food was cold. Presentation was sloppy as if food plopped on plate. Not refined or sophisticated, more like diner food. DJ could reflect chill brunch vibes more than feeling like a 16yr olds hyped up birthday party. Shame. Location still special. Just how it's run isn't.

We had a rude server today. He was almost yelling at us. Because I wanted to modify the meal. He said Iâm not going to get it here.
Negative atmosphere despite the inviting interior design.
We canceled our order and left. Not nice. Could do better.

The view and location are lovely but mediocre food and aggressive waitstaff that will intimidate you to over tip to them. Be aware you have to spend 100$ per person at the beach club - for the food itâs just not worth it. If youâre sitting on the beach you have one small table to put all your stuff on so naturally you start moving things to your chair so you hunch over to consume it, which is so uncomfortable. Not luxury at all.
Disappointing and Disrespectful Experience â Never Again!
I wish I could give zero stars to Joia Restaurant after the nightmare of a visit we had. My friends and I had an amazing time here last year, so we were excited to come back. Big mistake.
From the moment we arrived, the service was horrendous. The waiter was rude and dismissive, acting like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. When we asked to sit at the beach tables (which were mostly empty), we were blatantly lied to. First, they said the tables were all reserved, then they tried to extort us for $50 per seat, only to still claim they were unavailableâyet, mysteriously, NO ONE sat there the entire time we were there.
To make matters worse, the manager was just as dismissive and unprofessional. We couldnât shake the feeling that we were being racially profiled as Asians, which made the experience even more disgusting.
Joia Restaurant clearly does not value its customers, especially if they donât fit their preferred âdemographic.â Avoid this place at all costs, especially for lunchâunless you enjoy terrible service, blatant discrimination, and being scammed.

Iâm never able to get anyone on the phoneâŠ. No one ever replies to my emails eitherâŠ. Iâve emailed several of their email links from their website and called their business number for over a week and havenât gotten any response. Would have liked to visit, but unfortunately wasnât able to get any questions answered or speak to anyone.

Plates and table with dust. Sitting couches dirty with bird poop. Had to wave at the server as I was guiding a plane and still no service. Really disappointed this is not what this place used to be. Read all the 1 star reviews they all have the same complain BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE- DISRESPECTFUL ATTITUDE FROM STAFF. I donât need to send an email or call. This is me sharing my experience making awareness about this place and its customer Service.
