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.

    One in our party very much enjoyed the salmon salad and clam chowder...top rate. The other had fish and chips which had a rather thick batter which covered the flavor of the fish. The server was over-anxious to take our food order...we had just sat down. And, once the food came, we didn't see her again until we asked for boxes. So, a mixed review.

    I love this location. It couldn’t be better to see the waves and the beautiful sunset and the happy people all around down at the beach. The only thing I wish is that the food had less added sugar. I felt the hidden sugar ruined the wonderful food. We Californians don’t like all the unneeded carbs on our plates. But the cool building, the sunset views, and the nice waiter, was all quite lovely.

    What an AMAZING evening! The service at Cesarina was impeccable. Every person that approached us was warm, friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. From the focaccia to the soup to the pastas and Tiramisu everything was delicious. We enjoyed an early Valentine’s celebration and it was lovely. The ambiance is cozy and warm. I especially loved the little touches of the hot water bottle and blankets to keep us toasty warm. Irish was so friendly, making time to check in on us and share the story of the restaurant. A true gem, can’t wait to return.
