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.

    Excellent service as always, including the food. The added touch with the security guard in the parking lot was perfect in light of the fact that there has been many vehicle break-ins over the years……thank you, Kincaid.……

    We only ordered tapas and the food was delicious. The Spanish and Italian wines that we had we very good. This is a great place for a small meal and for a larger one (just keep ordering tapas or get a pasta dish).

    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.

    As always, the location had plenty of parking and wasn't too crowded. We made Priority reservations, in advance, through OpenTable. We were seated within 2-3 minutes upon arrival for dinner. Our meal consisted of the stuffed mushrooms appetizer, 1lb snow crab, salmon dinner, and I had the Lobster Punch for my cocktail. Everything came out hot and appealing to eat. Our server was a little more attentive with others than to my Mother and I, but other staff stepped in when necessary.
