Six of us went here for the first time for a birthday. The food tasted excellent. However, the service was terribly slow. We... even had to wait for menus after being seated. Once we finished our main course (we did not order appetizers) we waited a whileto have the table cleared. Only after stacking our plates at the edge of the table and flagging down someone to get our waterrefilled did they take the plates. We then were stuck waiting to see a dessert menu, which never appeared. When we realized thatwe had been there for almost 2 and a half hours we finally managed to flag down our server, who apologized and informed us theyhad some staff call out sick. The staff did seem busy, but they also seemed to lack some efficiency. Having waited so long weasked for the check, and were provided a selection of small desserts on the house, along with an apology. We also ended upwaiting to pay, and the server we initially handed the check to seemed to have trouble splitting it between cards. All told wearrived as the 2nd table of the night at 5:30 and left at 8:10 after 1 course, 1 round of drinks, and a small dessert. Therating would have been lower but the apology, the clearly overworked staff, and the quick complementary dessert tray, (they alsoprovided the Birthday Girl an ice cream dessert,) all redeemed the experience somewhat. As did the excellent flavors andpreparation of the food. The attached photo is of the NY Strip with roasted potatoes and peppers. Read more

Enjoyed our off night Valentine's Day dinner at CJ Steakhouse. It was our first time there, although we have been to this... location when it was Hot Rod's BBQ. The food was great, service was friendly and great, and the atmosphere is really, reallynice. They have a large wrap around bar so you can get drinks or eat at the bar. They have a large open dinning around as wellas a private room to accommodate large groups or for parties. I have heard that CJ Steakhouse is overpriced, and while some ofthe steaks are quite pricey, there are plenty of options on the menu that are very reasonably priced. The menu also has a fairlylarge selection so you should be able to find something you like, regardless of your tastes! I briefly spoke with the GeneralManager who said they have recently opened up for lunches. Read more

We really enjoyed having dinner at CJ?s. This was our first time visiting and the service and food were amazing. The host Brian... welcomed and checked on us throughout the evening. We opted to sit at the bar instead of a table which Marty our bartenderprovided us with great service. After our food was served (absolutely amazing btw) the chef Dave came out and we expressed howmuch we enjoyed the meal. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. Excellent food, service, ambiance a NYCrestaurant feel but a located close to home. Read more

A bit of a mixed bag. I really wanted to love this place, but there are better local options for the money. The steaks were... cooked perfectly, both were med rare as ordered. The accompanied sause were meh at best, I had a horseradish sauce for filet,that had no trace of flavor in it. We also ordered a wing app. They were delicious, but again the accompanied sauce had zeroflavor and you receive 3 wings for 17 bucks or so. The $18 burger we ordered for my son was ok. The staff was excellent andattentive. I would look elsewhere for a $240 meal ( no liquor) Read more
