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.

    I have been wanting to go here for years and finally got there today. The great reviews were all true. We had a party of five for a special occasion and they put us in our own little room looking out onto the water. The escargot was served on puff pastry with the signature dog bone cut out of the pastry. Delicious. Everyone’s entrée was wonderful and the waiter Leo was exceptionally good. We did not have dessert as that was going to happen at home, but we will definitely be back to eat there again and definitely have dessert. Highly recommend this place.

    Aurelie makes everyone feel special and at home while enjoying an elegant meal the Chef has prepared. We were party of six enjoying a selected Christmas menu. Some enjoyed grouper, some beef burgundy, scallops, or filet mignon. Starters were delectable, salmon & pickled vegetables, a delicious soup & more. Desserts fruit tart, chocolate cake, cheese plate. Again Aurelie makes the dining experience warm & enjoyable.
