We had a delicious well prepared filet and Caesar salad with great service. My husband said his cocktail was well made and I enjoyed a great Pinot Noir.

EJ'S Place is a secret gem in the Old Orchard neighborhood. The food was excellent, especially the grilled calamari and crab cakes. The meat was tender for the filet mignon. Our servers were very attentive with refilling our soda and meeting our needs. We will definitely return.
