" CJ's has become a neighborhood favorite for our family! We love the variety on the menu, ranging from pastas to salads. The children always enjoy the chicken tenders, which are crispy and not greasy at all. I've tried their salmon dish on a couple of occasions, and it never disappoints—it's perfectly cooked every time! The waitstaff is always friendly and offers helpful advice if you’re unsure what to order. A solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed meal with family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely family dinner here last night. The ambience was inviting, and the staff were friendly. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the baked mostaccioli and the chicken bruschetta pasta, both of which were quite good. While I found the portion sizes decent, I felt the pricing was a tad high for the offerings. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I look forward to returning soon to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to CJ's, and while the service was initially great, it seemed to slow down considerably after we placed our orders. I ordered the chicken parmesan, which had a nice crispy coating, but the sauce was a bit overpowering for my taste. On the other hand, my friend enjoyed the pasta primavera; she said it was fresh and flavorful! The salad served beforehand was also a highlight—definitely recommend it! Overall, a decent experience, but I hope to have a more seamless experience on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such an underwhelming experience at CJ's. The lasagna looked promising but ended up being a disappointment as it lacked flavor. The service was friendly, but I found the wait for our food to be excessively long, and we weren't even at peak dinner hour! On the bright side, the house salad was very good; the dressing was tangy and paired perfectly. The ambiance was lively, and it's clear that many people love this place. I might come back to give them another shot, just not for the lasagna. " (*Curated Review*)

" CJ's has its ups and downs. Some dishes, like the salads, wow, but others are just not that memorable. I ordered the seafood pasta, which hardly had any seafood in it—a bit misleading! Service was friendly, but it felt like we were forgotten at some point, waiting a while for our main course. However, the dessert was fantastic. There’s potential here, but they need to be more consistent with their dishes. " (*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*)
