Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
EJ's Place is a beloved North Shore gem, famed for "the best steaks in all of Chicagoland" and a "classic old-school vibe." The service is "flawless," with standout servers like Christian and Alex enhancing the experience. While the atmosphere is lively, "very noisy," the food consistently delights with "delicious" crab cakes and martinis.

    An amazing experience from start to finish. Impeccable service, excellent food and attention to detail was above and beyond any other restaurant in the area. Love this place. Expensive but worth every penny.

    The food is always first class. Try the shrimp de jonge for an appetizer. The small filet with Bernaise sauce was as good as I have had anywhere.

    Always fantastic! The ambience is the finest of Wisconsin supper clubs in the North Shore of Chicago. The staff is so professional and friendly.
