Steakhouse fare plus Italian specialties lure locals to a warm, cabinlike space with exposed wood.

Amazing food and experience. Most wait staff have been there for 20+ years! Excellent portions and the food is tasty!! Garbage salad is delicious! Service was super attentive and never once waited on anyone. This place is a must! Valet parking only but very fast.

We love your place. We come for special occasions but can easily make it a regular place as well. Our fillet mignon was outstanding. So was the service and atmosphere. Thank you.

The best steaks in the world. Great cottage fries and creamed spinach. House made key lime pie is awesome. Steaks: the Bone-In Rib-eye will knock you out (I always get 3-4 meals from it). The Skirt Steak is unbelievable. The Porterhouse ia amazing (when they have it). My wife always gets the Chilean Sea Bass and LOVES it. HUGE portions.

My family are customers of both EJ’s and Erie downtown. Both are always very good! Had dinner tonight at EJ’s Jules was our waiter. Everything was outstanding; service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Of all of the meals between both places tonight’s was the best! I had linguine with seafood arabiata perfect amount of seasoning and the dish was piping hot.

Arturo was our server- he made the night a special one. My mom, my sister and I went just because, and every single thing we ordered- from the spinach, to the steak, to the dehjohn shrimp, oh my goodness- and yes, we ordered more, and yes, it was worth it. I’m also a water guzzler and Miguel did not miss a beat. Arturo, Arturo, thank you for your service brother, and to the cooks as well, the entire experience was a 10/10.

Love the vibe at EJ’s. The bar tenders and wait staff are unsurpassed. Unfortunately, however, the food is sub-par and not worth the high price tag. AT. ALL!! Go to capital grille across the street for a meal worth that price.

Sat out in the tent and enjoyed an amazing meal served by Andrew our waiter. Andrew was professional and friendly! The tent seats approximately 50 people with adequate spacing. We had Dover Soul and NY Strip Steak. Both the best we’ve had! The food came out piping hot and cooked the way we ordered it (the steak).
Bathroom was spotless.
Really enjoy EJ’s. Each time we have gone, we have never been disappointed.
Highly recommend.

My husband and I are kicking ourselves for not checking out EJ’s Place sooner. EJ’s Place was on our list of restaurants to visit for a while and we finally decided to check it out and it was amazing from start to finish. We each ordered cocktails (the aviation for me and the paper plane for him), and they were delicious. We then ordered the petit filet, the skirt steak, creamed spinach, the bacon, and the French fried onions. Everything came out perfectly cooked, and was absolutely delicious. Our server, Cristian, was attentive, helpful, and friendly—giving us great recommendations without being pushy. We ordered the key lime pie (made in house) and spumoni ice cream (from Homers Ice Cream) for dessert.
It’s rare to have an overwhelmingly positive restaurant experience from start to finish, but tonight was just that. We will definitely make it a habit to come to EJ’s Place when we want to treat ourselves, and already have plans to bring friends and family at the next opportunity. Thanks so much for a wonderful meal—we can’t wait to come back!

Here’s What you need to know: loved our first ever visit to EJ’s on a perfect August summer evening for some al fresco dining (terrific, elegant setup outside for COVID). AMAZING food and service. HUGE portions but everything made to order (even the salad dressing). Perfect!
While it was only 2 adults for dinner, we ordered 3 entrees, 1 appetizer, and 2 desserts because everything on the menu sounded so appetizing.
Starters:
The grilled calamari: had the most delicious sauce. Finger licking good
Bread basket: had 4 terrific options with pats of butter. That baguette. Yum
House salad (comes with entree): I can’t say enough about how terrific that made to order dressing was… we ate every morsel on the plate. Lettuce and cherry tomatoes were chilled/fresh
Minestrone soup: packed with herbaceous flavor and seasoned perfectly. Delish!
Mains:
Seafood Linguine: Huge portion and insanely flavorful tomato based sauce. Just wow!
Bone in veal parmesan: best version of this dish I’ve had and it was incredibly well prepared. It’s a complex dish but done so right – perfectly cooked tender veal, amazing crispy breaded batter, and a delicious marinara sauce. Comes with a side of spaghetti and marinara sauce. We got it sliced for easy sharing.
Filet mignon: huge portion. Cooked just right – medium rare. We got it sliced for easy sharing
Potato sides:
Baked potato with sour cream and chives. Classic and Delish
Housemade chips: thick cut and perfectly fried
Mash potatoes: garlicky and buttery
Desserts:
Key lime pie: our favorite dessert. Housemade. Just the right amount of sweet and tart. Amazingly crumbly delicious graham cracker crust. Cooling whipped cream on top.
Tiramisu: housemade. Cinnamon on top
We did a birthday celebration for me and it was a terrific one 🙂 our two little ones came with us too and enjoyed the filet, chips, baguette, and spaghetti.
Total bill was $300 without drinks.

The 4 of us decided to treat ourselves while on vacation in the Chicago area. We were not disappointed! The service is second to none. Our server Alex was fantastic! From the bread basket to the potatoes, salads, and the main courses, we were absolutely over the moon with EJ’s.
