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.

Very good, if limited, Italian menu. Excellent wine list, but the prices are not for the faint. Got 2 hour parking validation. We were over by 15 minutes and had to pay $14.50 at the farmers market. Makes me think, there are other good Italian restaurants with free parking.

Peter was the best waiter ever! Food excellent, albeit pricey, but we knew that when we went there. We didn't have to wait with our 7:30 reservations. Web site said corkage fee was $15 and they charged us $20.
