This was our first time to EJ‘s and I must say it was an outstanding experience. We were greeted at the front by Gia, who was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our host was Todd and he had a great sense of humor and also offered recommendations on what to order. The grilled calamari was probably the best I’ve ever had. We also got the ribeye which is a must have as well as the chicken Parmesan, which was spectacular. The fried onions were also delicious and the Keylime pie I heard is made in house and was decadent. Highly recommend this restaurant as it can easily hang with the best steakhouses in Chicago. Will definitely be back. Fantastic atmosphere as well.

Had a wonderful dinner with one of my daughters. Fantastic steaks. Good sides. Nice wines and a bartender that knows how to make a black manhattan. Plenty leftover (to send home with my daughter). Saved room for the banana cream pie and a very good cup of coffee. Excellent service. Will be back.
