    My wife got the chicken pot pie and was very pleased with her meal. I order the prime rib, and was very disappointed. The prime rib was one of the toughest cuts of meat I’ve had in a very long time. In addition, the meat had very little flavor. While I’ll probably visit CJ’s in the future, I’ll not be ordering the prime rib

    I have been e regular costumer of CJs for many years. I am sorry to say that the food was not top notch for the price that was charged. The fish had no taste and the rest of the entree was not hot. Very disappointed. I do not think that I will return.

    Another beautiful evening at CJ's. We went for the prime rib yesterday evening and were not disappointed. Cooked perfectly. Kevin was an outstanding server! We always look forward to future visits.

    I didnt care for speed to flip the table. Entrees came out as soon as the Appetizers were cleared. Bill came without even an offer for coffee and desert. Done inside an hour…

    I got the shrimp dish with gluten free linguine and key lime pie! They were excellent! The best gluten free pasta! Our server was very personable and accommodating.

    Beautiful location overlooking a marina. Food & service was very good. Treated us to dessert for Mother’s Day & also gave us coupons for a future lunch/dinner. Totally enjoyed the experience.

    This is a very cool restaurant and one of our must-visits when we come to Marco island. The happy hour is a great value. The food is delicious. The hummus appetizer was great. My husband’s grouper sandwich was excellent and my rum butter mahi mahi was very good.

    We’ve been coming to CJ’s for years. Great atmosphere and food. It’s always nice to sit outdoors and enjoy the view of the bay. They offer a variety of menu options which is great for those picky eaters.

    Overall, we weren't too impressed, other than it did provide a beautiful view. I had the mahi-mahi basket, which was good. But if you looking for an outstanding grouper sandwich, this is not the place. It was my husband's third grouper sandwich on our trip, and it took an easy 3rd place. For the prices we paid, we expected a bit better. Felt like a chain restaurant experience.

    My waitress was amazing! She was attentive, knew the menu confidently, answered all our questions about the dishes and very sweet! I wish I remembered her name but the best way I could describe her is she was a server outside last night with brown hair.
