   I am so glad we had reservations. That pizookie deal sure brings out all the highschool kids. Our server was a plus. She was excellent and made our night!

   Our service was slow. It took over 2 hours for our party of 4 to finish our dinner!

   Food was meh. Tried BJ for the first time over at La Mesa as we were headed to a concert and it was date night. We were seated right away however, waitress showed up after about 5 min, then said will be back. Then waited probably another 5 to 10 minutes when she returned she already had 2 waters. We ordered the Calamari appetizer, the spaghetti with meatballs and jambalaya with a house salad. The Spaghetti was ok, looked like the meatballs have been in the warmer too long as it was very dry. The jambalaya was a bit better however, the rice didn't seem throughly cooked as there were bits of hardness in them, wife was only able to eat about 1/4 of the spaghetti plate, i ate about half of the jambalaya. We then ordered dessert and got the pizookie trio since it was date night. Got the strawberry shortcake, cookies and cream and the chocolate chunk. Now, literally, the dessert took a while before it got served, probably what seemed to be about 10-15 min, it was ok, but what was disappointing was the ice cream was already melted halfway through when we got it. It was literally runny that my wife did't enjoy it much. I mean, it didn't really ruin date night for us but, would we go back there, probably not as we felt that it was underwhelming specially when we paid over $100 including tip. As soon as we left, my wife literally said that we should've went to Olive Gardens instead.

    Always a great place for our family for a celebratory dinner, ending with a shared pizookie, of course.
