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.

    SALT was amazing! The food tasted great, the drinks were delicious, and the PB&J bar was a tasty dessert to finish our experience. The ambience was very romantic and the noise level was perfect to maintain a private conversation at a normal level. The waiter & kitchen staff were great at accommodating food allergies and checking in with us about our different options for modifications.

    This was our first time at El Divino and we were very impressed. Our entire experience was perfect. It was Valentines and tee we’re 2 couples. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us time to study the menu and enjoy our cocktails. We all ordered something different and each entree was elegantly displayed but also simply delicious. Only one couple had room for dessert but it too was a work of art and scrumptious. We will definitely revisit.

    The waiter was extremely attentive to anything we needed. The food was amazing and the steak quality was above my expectations. My only recommendation would be to work on better desserts because the presentation of the desserts didn’t match the reputation and quality of the restaurant.
