Busy night, but other than a bit more noise than usual from nearby birthday celebrations, had great food and service.

I have been a member at Ponte for many years and we held out our wedding in the garden in 2006. The restaurant at Ponta never disappoints. The bread served before the meal with vinaigrette scallion dip is outstanding.

The food was outstanding! We were there to celebrate my 50th birthday and I thought it was a nice touch to bring me a celebratory complimentary glass of champagne to begin our night. There were four of us and we each ordered two dishes to share. It was difficult to decide which one was our favorite. They were all very good. We stayed at the resort but I would definitely come back to Talia Kitchen.

Hopefully one day our wish will cone true! Ashleigh & Nexi are the BEST

We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza.

So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Dined on 7 Dec 2024

My only issue with this place is the exorbitant price of the mixed drinks. Paying $22-26 for one single mixed drink is sheer insanity. The drinks were good, but no better than any other place for the price to be at least $10/more per drink. Other than that, the food was good, service was good (although a bit slow), and the hostess was phenomenal (Maddie).
