    We had a shrimp cocktail and a crab cake appetizer that were delicious. We had Dover sole and branzino. Everything was great with excellent service. Thanks

    EJ's is a top favorite steak house without having to go in the heart of the city!! Seriously superb steaks and entrees! If you can get Alex as your waiter, you'll have the greatest service you've ever experienced!
