“We sat at the bar and Johnny & Maddie were so sweet, personable and helpful. I took Maddie’s suggestion on the great balls of fire appetizer & tsunami sushi roll and both were delicious. My friend had the cheeseburger and it was huge and delicious. Amazing service. Knew what we wanted before we even said it. Extra sauces, more water, etc. definitely recommend.“

They’re always crisp, generously portioned, and packed with ingredients that actually taste fresh—not an afterthought like at so many places. It’s hard to find salads this good, and they’ve definitely mastered them. Beyond the food, the service is friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. If you’re looking for a local spot with dependable, quality food, Four Seasons Eatery is a must-try.“

That fact that he took the time as busy as it was very sweet . Outstanding place ! Wish I could give more stars . Will be returning soon!“

“First off.. Barbara our server, was fantastic and very helpful. We were so hungry after spending all morning boogie boarding at Stanford beach. Every meal we had was hot, fresh and delicious. The cocktails were yummy and so needed and the outside patio was great for ppl coming directly from the beach. Loved our lunch experience and definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area! Thank you Barbara!“

“I visit CJ's often and have enjoyed their food for several years. The wait staff have always been friendly, caring, and welcoming.

This is a fast-paced restaurant, and because it's both small and popular, there may be a wait during busy times. The building is a little older, so seating can feel somewhat tight depending on when you visit, but that has never stopped me from coming back.

As a plus-size woman, a parent, someone with high anxiety, and a mom to an autistic child, feeling comfortable in a restaurant matters a lot to me. CJ's has always felt safe, welcoming, and comfortable for my family. The staff have consistently treated us with kindness, and that keeps us coming back.

Overall, good food, good people, and a place where my family feels welcome.“

The portion size was perfect, and we both left stuffed. The view from the deck is beautiful, overlooking the water, with pelicans flying by, and our waitress was very nice. We will be back every time we’re in town!“

“Family stopped by for ice cream tonight - delicious! Friendly employees and quick service. Will definitely return!“

“Great food. I love this place. Staff is the best. It’s my go to restaurant. Great place for a cup of hot chocolate or if you’re a coffee drinker that too. Still trying different things on the menus and haven’t had anything I did not totally enjoy. When my family and friends come to visit this is where I’ll take them for sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

I usually stop by with my coworkers in the morning and grab our food to go. It’s always well-packaged, and the condiment bar by the register is a nice touch for customizing your meal. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in search of a quick, delicious bite to start their day.“
