AJ's Steakhouse Review by Rick Rosen

First things first: We were greeted warmly by the hostess and she confirmed our reservations and had us seated within sixty seconds of our arrival which is exceptional by any standard.
The live piano music was the basic fare for restaurants but was pleasant nonetheless.
The house wine (Blush Zinfandel) was served perfectly chilled and was as delicious as promised by the knowledgeable and friendly waiter.

The crab cakes on the rather pricey appetizer plate were exquisite and quite possibly the best I've had and the white asparagus was also very tasty. The entrees were good but not great but were served exactly as ordered which is the exception rather than the rule unfortunately.
The "festive" bar area that is not separated from the dining area made for a louder than I like meal and I can't imagine that it is conducive to either business or romance and the darker than usual lighting made
for many people to be seen using their cell phones for light to read the somewhat limited menu.
The coordination between the wait staff and the bus staff was remarkable and their hustle and efficiency
are also noteworthy. The crème boulet was a fine finale to a good meal and was a much more fitting goodbye memory than our exit.

I would rate AJ's Steakhouse as better than most and also note that there was a very wide variety of dress and several levels of loudness mixed together which left me feeling that AJ's is searching for an identity and
hasn't quite decided just what fits it best and which direction to pursue. I would recommend AJ's if you're not planning on presenting a proposal to either a business associate or your future Mrs.
