" Our experience at CJ's was quite disappointing. While the restaurant was clean and inviting, the food lacked flavor and creativity. My pasta dish was far too heavy on cream, and my companion’s meal was just mediocre. Service was acceptable, no complaints there, but the overall dining experience didn't live up to the hype. I had expected a lot more given the positive reviews I've heard. I might give them another chance, but right now, I’m left feeling let down. " (*Curated Review*)

" Well, I have to say, CJ's showed us that they have their strength in making salads! The combination salad is definitely a must-try! However, when it came to my pasta dish, I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The flavor was just average, and I anticipated something more exciting. The service was good, and the atmosphere was comfortable enough that I'd consider giving it another shot. Everyone else at the table seemed quite happy with their choices, so perhaps I just picked the wrong dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I held our wedding reception at CJ's and it was just magical! Everything, from the planning stage to the execution, was seamless thanks to their wonderful staff. The food served was excellent, especially the lasagna, and everyone commented on how delicious it was. The ambiance in the private room was perfect for our celebration. Each guest was taken care of, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. To everyone at CJ's, thank you for making our day so special! We will certainly be returning to celebrate anniversaries! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited CJ's last week, and it was a delightful experience. The chicken parm was definitely a winner! The portion sizes were generous, enough to take home for lunch the next day. It was busy, but the staff managed well, keeping up with service without missing a beat. I truly appreciate places with such consistency. Looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot emphasize enough how much we enjoyed our meal at CJ's! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and a wonderful atmosphere. The pasta con broccoli was perfectly cooked, and the addition of a rich, creamy sauce made it addictive. The portion size was generous, and I even had leftovers for lunch the next day! A unique highlight was the combination salad dressed with their signature dressing. By the end of the meal, we felt completely satisfied and happy with our experience. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" CJ's is a classic spot for Italian food. My husband and I decided to check it out last weekend after hearing rave reviews from friends, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was cozy and inviting. We started with the calamari, and though it was slightly salty, the overall flavor was delicious. I ordered the rigatoni with their cream sauce, but I could have done with a bit more seasoning. The staff was polite and attentive, making sure our drinks were always topped up. We'll definitely make this a bi-weekly visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We just had a lovely dinner at CJ's. Everything we ordered was delicious! I particularly loved the baked mostaccioli[—so cheesy and flavorful. The service was very accommodating; our server checked in regularly but didn’t overdo it. The atmosphere felt lively and upbeat. However, the steak was overcooked, but overall, it was a great dinner experience. I will most definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
