   Very nice Restaurant. Seated us immediately. Gave us choices off the Happy Hour and regular menus. Our sever, Bivian, was friendly and professional. Very nice cocktails and menu choices.

   BJ's La Jolla is one of my favorite restaurants in La Jolla and the San Diego area. However, my wife and I had a disappointing experience at BJ's restaurant today. I tried to use a $10 OpenTable Reward to make a reservation yesterday, but it was denied. Today, I brought the image of the Reward Card [ending with 2252] and my phone with me. After our waiter had discussed it with the store manager, the reward was declined. I was told to go to a different restaurant. No one at BJ's restaurant knew about the OpenTable Reward Card system. Can we use it at BJ's? Shall the Crad work at a different restaurant?

   The service was quick and efficient, the meals was good, and happy-hour bill was quite reasonable for what we ordered. As for the experience, the hosting team at the door made a HUGE mistake and followed it by an even worse one, that one nearly causing an incident, the details of which I left as a private comment to management. Adding insult to injury, the comment seems to have fallen on deaf ears, and I received a boiler-plate response, not taking any responsibility for what happened. Don't think I'm going there again.

   The food was awful. The shrimp tacos were cold and the shrimp was rubbery. The tortilla was crunchy… it was so very expensive also. Super sad to waste so much money on it. The restaurant had problems with servers charging people with other tables checks and it was just a disaster. I took one bite of the shrimp taco and ate nothing else and the server didn’t even care to ask why

   Service was outstanding We bring 6 people prior to theater event- open table makes it easy to be seated. We have our favorite dishes and the dinner specials are perfect. Now pazookies are included with some. Everyone is pleased with the experience.

    I like the atmosphere and BJ’s in La Jolla! We sat outside under heating. Had a good server and we spent about two hours over there. Other BJ’s are not as popular as this. Thank you!
