EJs is so great we went two nights in a row. The menu is huge, with many delicious choices it’s easy to do. Fish one night and pasta another. Both excellent with flawless service. Fun, festive atmosphere!

A fantastic Mother’s Day dinner. Every aspect of the meal was superb, from the homemade Italian Vinaigrette on the salad to my perfectly cooked 15 oz filet and my mother in law’s salmon. And I was ecstatic over the quality and portion size of the banana cream pie!

We had an excellent dinner with great service by Christian. We shared our delicious appetizers of crab cakes and shrimp cocktail with a wonderful bottle of wine. We had chicken oregano, steak, Dover sole and cheese ravioli with sausage. Everything was outstanding. Thanks

Our waiter was amazing… we came with 2 young kids and he went out of his way to keep them happy. My only regret was the noise level… we were shouting to talk and straining to hear.
