The banana pudding is incredible!! The menu doesn’t do it justice. It has a miso-carmel sauce and matcha chantilly with fresh banana and wafers! Perfect way to end any meal!

They were extremely sweet about celebrating our special occasion! They made us feel very special, the food was amazing and we felt like everything was incredibly reasonably priced for the quality of food/service/atmosphere. Everything was really good and we will definitely go back to try more dishes because so much looked amazing!

The Steak Experience was everything we hoped and knew it was be. The steaks were absolutely perfect. They were four side sauces that were equally amazing, however the steak was phenomenal all its own. The side options for the Experience were perfect pairings. The service was top notch all around. Definitely a treat-yourself indulgence for a date night or gathering of friends.

Very good food! We tired so many items and they were all delicious. Perfect place for all party sizes. We had a party of eleven, celebrating a birthday party for my dad. Kids loved their food (which is difficult in itself, so this speaks to the kid's menu), service was attentive and great. I loved the ambiance of the place. Not fancy, but a nice cozy vibe. Highly recommend this spot!

Our server; Jasmine was welcoming, polite, and professional. She gave some really great recommendations for food and desserts. We were greeted with a huge smile and genuine care. We're grateful for her gracious BJ hospitality. Good work Jasmine.

    The Customer Service is absolutely amazing just from the valet all the way through even to the head Chef, who walked our main course out talked to us, thanked us for coming, literally from start to finish and don’t even get me started on the food. The chef’s palette is truly incredible. The fusion that he has created is like no other. This was genuinely a great experience. I can’t wait to come back and more importantly I can’t wait until I get to Mission star
