   Went in for Valentine’s Day dinner, we were happy with our drinks and dinner choices!! I added the pepper corn sauce over my steak and it was delicious, best decision ever.

   Likely the best take steak we have ever had, and we've been around awhile.:) The chains don't hold a candle to it. And the ambience is just right -- real and friendly. If you like good steak you will not be disappointed.

   AJs is a great place to have dinner and they have live entertainment also. The only reason I marked it down was we were told by the host that a certain singer we liked would be back in two weeks time and he wasn’t. That was disappointing. Food and wait staff were excellent. We will go back but will double check the entertainment.

   As always, we were very pleased with our dining experience at AJ’s. The food was excellent, the staff was very attentive, and the atmosphere was great. We will be back.

   AJs is our go to place for excellent food, wine and service. No matter what the occasion, you will not be disappointed! I hope the fried brie comes back on the menu...this was outstanding in the past, and my favorite appetizer. Everything on the menu is delicious and well presented!

   For a steak house AJs fell very short on the quality of the beef. The ribeyes were tough and the sirloins had the most bizarre texture for a steak. I think the sirloin had been ground up and reformed (mealy texture) The rock fish and be burgers were good. Drinks were reasonably priced and tasty. Our waitress was nice and handled our group size of 10 well. Sorry but I won’t be going back.

   Here’s a little gem of a steakhouse in an ole fishing town at the end of the road. The food is always good as is the service. While noted for steaks and red meat, they deliver on seafood as well. Daryl who will greet you at the door was friendly and helpful. Our special request for searing was managed perfectly as were call in requests to buy our dinner. Catherine behind the Bar is amazing, friendly and spot on with providing chilled glasses for champagne. We split the Prime Rib which was flavorful and temperature as requested. All in all a very enjoyable time with excellent food and service. Note: This place does book up in the summer so plan ahead and make reservations on Open Table

    AJs has always been wonderful, but this trip was much less to be desired. I had the 12oz NY strip and it did not have the quality of a top end aged steak. I could have cooked a better steak at home. A friend had a house salad and 3 small pieces of fried halibut and it was $37...unbelievable. The total bill with tip was $163 for 3 people and this was not a $163 meal. We've eaten at AJs before and was always satified with the food and the service, but this is the first time the expense didn't meet the quality of food or the service. We'll eat there again, and hope for a better experience.
