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.

EOS & NYX is the new restaurant in downtown San Jose. Been open 1 month and we went last night and they delivered on all fronts. The decor, the service, the food and cocktails. A beautiful two story architectural stunner. Bars on the 1st and 2nd floor. Main dining is on 1 with smaller tables on 2. Every person working that we came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and all around pleasant. Ordered meatballs, roasted chicken and pasta. Very creative cocktails. Our check was delivered in a bonsai with a few sweet treats. So happy we have this place in DTSJ. It was very busy so make a reservation. Also great for big groups.

Booked our work lunch - the atmosphere was so cozy and decorated for the holidays. We were greeted by our server, Ben who was kind and attentive. We started with the Spinach Dip - Soooo good. The bread was freshly baked to order, the dip was complimented by the whole table. Since we came for lunch, we all decided to order the lunch special. So much food! The salads were fresh, crisp, and cold. I had a pasta while my coworkers ordered mini pizzas. Even though the entrees were lunch sized, we all were stuffed. We had refills upon request, and my coworker loved the Iced Tea. Next time we schedule a work lunch, Willow Street will be in the rotation.
