Good service, young severs, but sorta blah decor, and food was ok but super expensive, small portions, won't be going back. They couldn't even do a good hamburger, cheap cut of beef, and small and absurdly priced.

Myself and my family of 13 came here for a surprise party on 2/22/25 and was pleasantly impressed. I called 2 days prior to see if they could accommodate my party at the last minute and the manager said “Yes”, without hesitation.
I had to call the day prior to change the time and the change the time without any issues.
Our waiter SYLVAN was Perfect. He knew the menu well and all of his suggestions were spot on! The manager greeted us as we were leaving and this was a nice touch to the gathering.
The food and ambiance was great. We plan to come back again. This restaurant NEVER disappoints.

My friend and I came to satisfy our craving for oysters and this place did not miss!
We were recommended and decided on the chef's dozen and were pleased with the variety of oysters there! Washed down with some wine and a side of calamari (BEST I've had in a while!), it was all a perfect combo!
We also requested an oyster shooter with Tito's and WHEW! That was good!
10/ 10 would come back again!

Service was okay. Had to hunt someone down to ask for salt and pepper because our server never came back.
Food was good except for the cornbread. I’m shocked at the number of people who rave about it honestly. I’m from the south, ate cornbread almost daily. This is not cornbread. This was a cake and I’ll never be convinced of anything else. If you want cake this is delicious. If you want cornbread this is not it.

Food was okay. Dishes are smaller than a year ago. Insult to injury, corn bread is no longer included and can be ordered for $7. Trying to be 5 star and turned into 3, instead. Wont be back. Too many other great places in MD to eat.

Joya was lovely, very informed on their draft selection and made my dining experience One of a kind!! Loved the atmosphere and the chefs dozen of oysters is a top recommendation
Best thing about this place was our server Sylvin!!! The grilled asparagus was top food wise. Then the scallops. Lobster roll got it to go for mom. She said it was good. She picked out the lobster meat mostly. My nieces liked the fries.
Do NOT order the rib eye $53. It was like a select grade meat. Cooked medium, very chewy like gum. They cook the temperature well but just the quality of the steak 😭😡 we thought maybe it was just a bad one so they brought out a new one but nope!
Burrata was decent, but not enough greens.
Hush puppies and crab cakes were okay.
Went to get seafood tower cause the jonah crab but they didn't have it anymore. 😢
Our bill with tip was about $275 did I think it was worth it. Not really.

Ok let’s start with I like this place BUT the service is not what I expected. The atmosphere is a little dry during happy hour but if you want somewhere quiet to go after work this may be your spot. They usually give you cornbread but it’s not a menu option. I don’t see this place lasting too long. The crowd has died down tremendously. I hope they make some changes and stick around the oyster Rockefeller is sooooo good. Parking is ok. It’s a mall so you’ll find a spot you may just need to walk a short distance.

I had occasion to criticize the service here once before. I want to take a moment to praise what they’ve done to improve. In particular our server (Snayder) was really excellent. He was attentive without being overbearing; he had great suggestions and knew the menu; but most of all? He made it clear that he gave a damn that we had a pleasant meal. Whoever is responsible for hiring now you have my compliments.

Two table mates enjoyed their food, which is the only reason I added a star (ribeye, oysters, some sides). Server, when faced with a food allergy, was in no way accommodating, nor did they come up with any alternatives and therefore one person did not eat. I ordered clam chowder and didn't taste any clam (although there was plenty of it) bc the other meat(s?) overpowered every other flavor.

First time and def not the last! Not only was the food excellent but the service was above and beyond wonderful. It’s one thing when the food is excellent but I personally come back for the service. Managers were on point to touch tables and ensure quality satisfaction. We were hesitant to try this place because we always have our toddler with us but the kids menu has a great variety and our server Moe was so great to our daughter it hit a home run for us! Def would not be the same without his friendliness and knowledge of the menu/service. Wow 10/10!
Kid-friendliness: It’s more than you can imagine. Our service from Moe was beyond what we expected with our toddler. She has never been engaged at any other “kid friendly” restaurant the way she was emgaged today. The food was not only exceptional, the service is what makes us come back with our friends and family. 10/10! it was our first time here so i hope all the servers are
just as equal in quality of service!
