Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
EJ's Place offers "terrific" service and "outstanding" food, making it a top choice on the North Shore. Guests rave about the "incredible" servers, especially Christian and Nick, who enhance the dining experience. While the atmosphere is lively, it can get noisy. Despite the high prices, the "stellar" experience and generous portions make it worthwhile.

    This is my go to special dinner spot. Pricing is reasonable, and the menu has a broad range of options at various price points. You can go all in on a large surf and turf or have spaghetti and meatballs and still have a great meal. The service is unparalleled. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, humorous and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is just right. Busy but not hurried or loud. “Free” Valet parking is also a plus. One of those rare dependable spots where I can count on a great experience.

    The food is always top-notch. So many EJ’s waitstaff have been employed for so long, everyone feels like family. Great supper club atmosphere and a wonderful dining experience.

    A great gem with a “real” feel of a club. Food is fantastic. The Prime Rib is the best in the Chicagoland area. Worth the splurge.
