It was a busy pre-holiday night, so kind of noisy but festive. Service was outstanding, as was my husband’s filet mignon. My eggplant dish was fine, my cosmopolitan even better. A delicious Tiramisu was complimentary for my birthday. What a wonderful evening.

About the restaurant
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.

My only issue with this place is the exorbitant price of the mixed drinks. Paying $22-26 for one single mixed drink is sheer insanity. The drinks were good, but no better than any other place for the price to be at least $10/more per drink. Other than that, the food was good, service was good (although a bit slow), and the hostess was phenomenal (Maddie).

The Bouquet Restaurant @ Ponte Inn: Sunday Brunch has great food. The Eggs Benedict was delicious! Great food at good price. Lovely atmosphere. Really appreciated our waiter, Chris! His service was attentive and genial and not intrusive. Thank you, Ponte, for providing a wonderful place for my son, his girlfriend, and I to share wonderful conversation and great food!
