We were early for our reservation and were still accommodated. The restaurant was hopping! Deanna is one of our favorite bartenders and is always so kind and has a smile on her face! Food was amazing as per usual. It is our “go to” place and we are so happy to have it so close!

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.

Brazilian Steakhouse

About the restaurant

At Bullvino’s, excellence isn’t a standard. It’s a way of life. Every fire-roasted cut is hand-selected with the care and conviction of true churrasco craft. From the moment each piece is seasoned and set to the flame, to the ceremonial tableside carving that brings it to your plate, every step of your Bullvino’s experience is done with care. This is more than a meal. This is churrasco done right.

Went to Bullvino’s for the first time last night after it was recommended by some friends since we enjoy Brazilian steakhouses. The food was very good, I wasn’t a fan of the top sirloin as it seemed a bit dry, but everything else was amazing. The grilled pineapple ended up being my favorite thing we ate all night. Our server Ashley was very sweet and kind and was very on top of refilling our glasses and grabbing new plates for us. My reasoning for four stars is that we were at Bullvino’s to celebrate my boyfriend’s new job and we were offered a free dessert to celebrate. Our server suggested the flaming cheesecake dessert and we decided to go with the suggestion. What she hadn’t let us know is that the dessert wasn’t completely free, as we were charged $6 for a shot of Liquor 43 that was poured overtop the cheesecake. I understand alcohol costs money, but to tell us the dessert was free and then charge us $6 for it anyways was a little upsetting. I didn’t say anything at the restaurant because I didn’t want to cause a problem on such a celebration for my boyfriend, but you should definitely be letting people know that the cheesecake dessert will be an additional charge for the Liquor 43 poured overtop. If I would have known it was additional, I would have opted to get it without that, as the Liquor 43 was not very good with the cheesecake anyways, very strong and bitter tasting.
