Food and service were superior but lighting is so low you need a flashlight to see your food. Expensive but worth it.

We have lived in the area for over 20 years and had never tried EJ’s, but will definitely be back! The food was really high quality and we had some of the best steaks we have had anywhere. The sides are also significantly better than restaurants in the area that I would consider to be their competitors. Our server was outstanding despite the restaurant being completely full. We have some friends in mind to bring next time. We know they will love it as much as we did!

Cristian was outstanding. Warm, funny and attentive. Filet was good but lamb chops were exceptional. Key lime pie also on point. Worked well for date night but even better for small groups
