We finally tried TJ's even though we usually pass it by every year. I am I ever glad we stopped in. The place is small but intimate and offers both inside and outside dining areas. The service was attentive and the food absolutely delicious. I really loved the huge Meatballs and the pasta was perfectly cooked.

Not what I expected from a place that advertises as an Italian restaurant. They have a great selection of seafood which is my preference. The calamari and clam appetizers had a unique taste not overcooked just very enjoyable. Had the ahi tuna as the main course, it was damn good. Joe, our waiter was unbelievable, the level of attention and service was exceptional. Overall I would recommend TJ's, looking forward to my next visit.

We came to TJs restaurant all the way from Maryland, It has a very nice ambiance. My husband ordered the chicken Piccata and it was excellent. I ordered calamari and unfortunately, only got a few rings and a plate full of tentacles. I complained and the server first didn’t take me seriously but when he noticed that I was not joking, he asked the kitchen, a lady came and looked at what I got. Told me they would get me another one. The second one had a much better presentation and ratio of calamari rings vs tentacles. I should have not received a plate almost full of tentacles to begin with, reason

Great wine selection, amazing food. My boyfriend, who is very picky with his clams, had spaghetti and clams with white sauce, and they did not disappoint. I had Kim's favorite white pizza, and OMG 🤤 BEST pizza. Fragrant garlic, fresh chunks of ricotta, spinach, chicken, and I added meatballs. It was amazing.

I had high expectations. The Stromboli was good, albeit pretty greasy. But it was nice and full with steak. They did seem to skimp on cheese on everything. I wonder if they were running low. The photos we'd seen were not this, especially the Margherita, which is traditionally made with fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. I couldn't tell if there were mushy tomatoes or just squirts of a strong marinara randomly around the pizza. All our pizzas were high in oil and low on cheese. The shrimp was alright, but didn't have anything much for sauce ( the description said white pizza, not completely no

Italian dinning. A bit upscale. Very nice seating outdoors. Reservations are highly recommended during the peak dinner hours. The pizza we ordered was served fresh and hot, it's thin crust style. There was a wide choice of toppings available. The prices for pizza seemed a bit high. For a lg and small pie with three sodas, the check was $49. Our waiter only check on us three times during our meal. No drink refills was offered during our dinner.
