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.

As always, the team at Velvet48 are fantastic. Drea and Emily are always friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the wines. It's nice walking in and they make me feel like home. The splash of rosé to start off the evening is always a great touch. The "book" of wines is 32 pages long - a great selection of many varietals. They also have a great selection of wine by the glass. Highly recommended.

Really great food - as always at Amoura. The service wasn't great and the noise level was off the charts with a few large parties while we were there. I was part of a party of five and we couldn't hear each other. The staff are very nice, but not efficient with their service. Also I noted on my reservation that this was for a birthday and, despite ordering 3 desserts, no candle or acknowledgement. My bad for assuming, but disappointed.
