    Extremely friendly staff. Food is consistently great as well! I go there at least once a week.

    Oriens Cafe is one of my favorite places to meet friends. I've been going here for over a decade…read morefor lunch, dinner, gelato, and baked goods. Order at the counter and your food will be brought to you at your indoor or outdoor table. There is a discount if paying in cash. Sometimes the service can be slow if they are busy - there is usually one person working, occasionally two. There is a large menu of Italian-American classics including pasta, salads, sandwiches, and meals like eggplant Parmesan. Portions are generous for the price. Don't forget the full case of cookies, cake slices, and arancini, all of which can be boxed up to go.

    I wanted a sweet treat while out and about with a friend of mine and we ended up here this evening…read more I must say I'm licking myself for not taking pictures of the display full of Italian cookies! My friend and I both got a small cup of gelato. I sampled the cookie butter flavor and it was amazing! I opted for two flavors in my bowl so I ended up with cookie butter and cake batter and it was soooo good! I was surprised they had been open for 16 years when I inquired. Before leaving I decided I could get a few cookies to go to bring home for my parents. The woman who served us was very personable and i learned she loved in Rocky Mount NC for 18 years! We bonded over the fact there is no good, authentic Italian food in the south. It was a cute atmosphere with amazing prices! I was sooo surprised to learn that they had a full menu bc the dessert displays were exceptional! Thanks for an awesome experience!

    This is a review for a 3.5 rating…read more EJ's is a restaurant located inside the Rochester Airport Marriott. Basic American fare at your usual hotel-restaurant prices. We ordered burgers, Tex-Mex and EJ's original, which were both very tasty. I loved the Avocado and pepper jack on mine, and the EJ's original had great flavor as well. Our orders came with a pickle and some fries. *Portion size here is huge. My BF and I could have easily split one burger. We sat in the bar/lounge area to eat, and the service was great! Would come back again if we ever stayed at this hotel in the future.

    I've been to EJ's three times now. Once before they renovated and twice after the renovation. The…read moredecor is wonderful. Lots of gold and beige with splashes of bright colors here and there. Kind of a warm contemporary feel. It is quiet and relaxing. A great place to go to eat great food and talk. The service, when I have been there, has always been great. The servers are welcoming and friendly. They serve complimentary hot rolls with whipped butter. Yum! The menu is small. Everything including appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts fit on one page. This place is kind of pricey but, hey, it's a three star hotel restaurant. I expected that it would be pricey. An entree costs anywhere from $10-30. It is expensive but the food is great! They don't serve anything that you think would be fantastic but it is!! For example, I had the turkey blt. But this is no ordinary sandwich. It is served on toasted sourdough bread with this amazing lemon and herb mayonnaise that takes the sandwich to a whole other level. And they didn't skimp out on the bacon either! I don't know why this place has been getting such low reviews. Maybe I'm just not a picky eater at all but I thought the food, service, and atmosphere were great. I gave 4/5 stars because it is a little over priced.
