The service was excellent, the food was very good but the noise level made conversation difficult and it is outrageously expensive.

Great Chicago steakhouse vibes legendary but like all service industry jobs - service level is lacking a bit but that’s not necessarily just a “them” problem..

Love EJ’s!! Started with a small garden salad and garlic dressing. Followed that with lamb chops and a side of garlic mashed potatoes, both were excellent. They pour a mean drink, service is exceptional, and the key lime for dessert was fantastic.
