    Food is always delicious and prepared well. Wait staff is courteous and attentive but not overly so. They always ask about food allergies which is so nice since many dishes may have something in them that only the chef knows about. Ambiance is very pleasant. Nice place to celebrate special occasions or host clients.

    This is our go-to place when attending events at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts and it doesn't disappoint. Because we waited too late to book a table at our preferred time, we came a bit earlier and ate at the bar. Worked out great and the bartender was very attentive. Had the ribs for the first time and they were delicious; apparently the BBQ sauce is made in-house.

    We had a great dining experience at Coopeer’s Hawk. As members of the Wine Club, we are regulars, and always have a great meal, both quality and quantity! I love the unique PB&J Old Fashioned, which is a perfect cocktail to open. My wife and I shared a sausage and burrata flatbread as a starter, which was great. My wife had short rib risotto as her entree which she loved, and I thoroughly enjoyed my country rigatoni, a blend of several great flavors! Both resulted in a take home portion as well. The house Malbec matched perfectly with the food. Lastly, our server, Artem was friendly, efficient and attentive. He definitely added to the good time! Overall, more reasons to keep returning!

    EJ’s Place is our go to restaurant for a great meal and awesome service. They have something for everyone: awesome steak, fresh fish and their meat sauce in their spaghetti is top notch. The valet is complimentary so it’s easy to get in and out (although the guys are super friendly and deserve a decent gratuity too.). We highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.
