Joey Yorkdale has made its debut at the expanded Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto. A modern industrial aesthetic, complemented by warm materials, informs the venue. A stylized smokestack entrance and a window pulley system with a giant counterweight contribute to the industrial feel, while hickory, pecan, and walnut hardwoods, as well as brick and rich Italian leathers, add depth and warmth to the space.
“This location called for an exceptional design, something with a strong presence,” says Jeff Fuller, president of Joey Restaurant Group. “We’ve created a space that’s inviting, one that encourages a social atmosphere, and where each guest experiences a certain magnetic energy.”
