To Our Guests:The amount of guests that you make a reservation for is what you will have available. Example: If you make a reservation for 4 guests and put in the notes that you need a table for 8 guests- you will not have a table for 8 guests but only for 4 guests that you made the reservation for.Seats at the bar itself are NOT able to be reserved- they are very limited and are first come first serve. If you book the bar tables on Opentable- the reservation will be for the tables in the lounge that are located behind the bar.Seats on the patio are also NOT able to be reserved. If a reservation is made and in the notes you have requested outside or patio this does not guarantee you an outside table.We look forward to seeing you soon.

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. 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. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. 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.

The lunch options are excellent at Cooper’s Hawk and service is always point on. Janie was attentive and personable. I have never had a bad meal or service at any of the CH restaurants that I have frequented. I always stop at CH Richmond when I travel to the Richmond as all the staff are exceptional. I am a wine club member and am always able to taste the wine of the month to evaluate for purchase. Thank you CH for continued service excellence. Colonel Karen Mercier

Another nice meal at WW...food was not up to standards on this visit. Filet bits very over cooked. As always, a great wine selection and atmosphere lends itself to a nice dining experience...which this was one, not exceptional.

We had a great time, the meat flowed freely, service was fantastic, ambiance was on point. My only negative was choices at the salad bar. Not sure if the choices rotate, but last night choices were not too appealing.
