We dined at MJ’s for Valentines Day. The food and drinks were excellent and the water glasses were always full. My husband got the salmon and I got the tuna special. Shared a piece of delicious red velvet cake. It was a lovely meal

It was just the kind of Valentine’s Day dinner that we wanted. Every staff member was polite and helpful. Our waiter was friendly without being intrusive and very efficient with our service. We’ve always enjoyed MJ’s, but for some reason, forget about it when looking for a place to have dinner. Last night we talked about the fact that we need to come here much more often because it’s always so good.

Enjoyed a delicious meal at the bar with friends. The food is always great here and it’s quiet enough for easy conversation! The bartender was great and drinks were also delicious, we tried a specialty cocktail and it was great. The food specials were great as well.

Service with Chris and other staff was absolutely top notch. We got the fish of the day special along with the bone in ribeye special. The steak was very undercooked, but my husband didn't want to make a fuss. Other than that, food was delicious. We always recommend MJs for a nice night out.
