    I have been a customer of EJ's from the year they first opened. It became and remains my favorite restaurant. If you like oysters you will find theirs to be the la consistently outstanding. I have had at one time or another just about every main course on the menu. I am never disappointed.

    Fantastic new experience for me despite being a huge Lettuce Entertain You fan. When I'm ion Chicago, usually downtown or elsewhere and years earlier, living not too far away, had my regular BBQ fix either in the city or nearer my apartment. That was my mistake though in my defense it was before Lettuce had a loyalty program. For this, on the way to the airport thought it was past time to try L. Woods and enjoy a late lunch/early supper. Great taste of the various BBQ, plenty of food and, of course, great service. My wife, not and large a 'cue lover as am I is still raving about L. Woods. That's the best compliment possible.

    We recently celebrated our son’s high school graduation at The Hampton Social with family, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The service was exceptional, and the semi-private space they arranged for us was absolutely perfect for such a special occasion. It allowed our family to celebrate together while still feeling comfortable and intimate away from the main dining area. To make things even more challenging, nearly half of our group was delayed due to terrible traffic, yet the staff could not have been more gracious and accommodating. At no point were we made to feel rushed, and their kindness and patience truly helped make the evening stress-free and memorable. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our son’s graduation celebration feel so special. Highly recommend for any meaningful family celebration!
