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.

    A great place to come and get some premium cocktails and spirits. I recommend a reservation for groups of 4 or more or during high traffic hours, but its worth it!

    As with our past dining experiences at Virtu Honest Craft, everything was perfect. The Asparagi was a beautiful plate, perfectly prepared and with outstanding combination of ingredients. This is definitely a go-to option on forthcoming visits. Our entree was the Bistecca Tagliata for two. A 40oz tomahawk ribeye with an arugula salad. Absolutely delicious. We chose a Sangiovese wine to accompany our food choices. The service was impeccable. Even though this restaurant is nearly an hour away from our home, it is well worth the drive, and we plan to return soon.
