The food and the staff are absolutely amazing! It can be a bit snug as a bug for seating if it’s just your or two dining - but it’s not uncomfortable. This is definitely one of my favorite go-to restaurants and will probably create any excuse to be in the area so I can eat her (^_^)

I'm glad that BJ's does reservations now via OpenTable. Checked in at the front desk and the host showed us to the table that was already setup. Service was good and food quality was consistent as it has been there for over 20 years.
