EJ's Place

Amazing food and experience. Most wait staff have been there for 20+ years! Excellent portions and the food is tasty!! Garbage salad is delicious! Service was super attentive and never once waited on anyone. This place is a must! Valet parking only but very fast.

Like an old type supper club. Warm,dark atmosphere. Their service is OUTSTANDING!! Very pricey menu. I should have gone for the steaks, which looked mouthwatering, but I went for linguine with clams. Fairly tasteless. The drinks were good, and our waiter and busboys were SO attentive.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but my experience at EJ’s was bad enough to speak up. The food was average at best, but the real issue was EJ, the owner. He was incredibly rude, dismissive, and seemed more interested in showing off than actually treating customers with respect. His ego filled the room more than any aroma from the kitchen. It's a shame, because the place could have potential with better leadership. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values basic courtesy.

Sat out in the tent and enjoyed an amazing meal served by Andrew our waiter. Andrew was professional and friendly! The tent seats approximately 50 people with adequate spacing. We had Dover Soul and NY Strip Steak. Both the best we’ve had! The food came out piping hot and cooked the way we ordered it (the steak). Bathroom was spotless. Really enjoy EJ’s. Each time we have gone, we have never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

My husband and I are kicking ourselves for not checking out EJ’s Place sooner. EJ’s Place was on our list of restaurants to visit for a while and we finally decided to check it out and it was amazing from start to finish. We each ordered cocktails (the aviation for me and the paper plane for him), and they were delicious. We then ordered the petit filet, the skirt steak, creamed spinach, the bacon, and the French fried onions. Everything came out perfectly cooked, and was absolutely delicious. Our server, Cristian, was attentive, helpful, and friendly—giving us great recommendations without being pushy. We ordered the key lime pie (made in house) and spumoni ice cream (from Homers Ice Cream) for dessert. It’s rare to have an overwhelmingly positive restaurant experience from start to finish, but tonight was just that. We will definitely make it a habit to come to EJ’s Place when we want to treat ourselves, and already have plans to bring friends and family at the next opportunity. Thanks so much for a wonderful meal—we can’t wait to come back!

Here’s What you need to know: loved our first ever visit to EJ’s on a perfect August summer evening for some al fresco dining (terrific, elegant setup outside for COVID). AMAZING food and service. HUGE portions but everything made to order (even the salad dressing). Perfect! While it was only 2 adults for dinner, we ordered 3 entrees, 1 appetizer, and 2 desserts because everything on the menu sounded so appetizing. Starters: The grilled calamari: had the most delicious sauce. Finger licking good Bread basket: had 4 terrific options with pats of butter. That baguette. Yum House salad (comes with entree): I can’t say enough about how terrific that made to order dressing was… we ate every morsel on the plate. Lettuce and cherry tomatoes were chilled/fresh Minestrone soup: packed with herbaceous flavor and seasoned perfectly. Delish! Mains: Seafood Linguine: Huge portion and insanely flavorful tomato based sauce. Just wow! Bone in veal parmesan: best version of this dish I’ve had and it was incredibly well prepared. It’s a complex dish but done so right - perfectly cooked tender veal, amazing crispy breaded batter, and a delicious marinara sauce. Comes with a side of spaghetti and marinara sauce. We got it sliced for easy sharing. Filet mignon: huge portion. Cooked just right - medium rare. We got it sliced for easy sharing Potato sides: Baked potato with sour cream and chives. Classic and Delish Housemade chips: thick cut and perfectly fried Mash potatoes: garlicky and buttery Desserts: Key lime pie: our favorite dessert. Housemade. Just the right amount of sweet and tart. Amazingly crumbly delicious graham cracker crust. Cooling whipped cream on top. Tiramisu: housemade. Cinnamon on top We did a birthday celebration for me and it was a terrific one :) our two little ones came with us too and enjoyed the filet, chips, baguette, and spaghetti. Total bill was $300 without drinks.

The 4 of us decided to treat ourselves while on vacation in the Chicago area. We were not disappointed! The service is second to none. Our server Alex was fantastic! From the bread basket to the potatoes, salads, and the main courses, we were absolutely over the moon with EJ's.

best chicken ceaser salad I’ve ever had. staff is always friendly and nice. valet guys are nice and attentive.
