BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

I am pleasantly surprised! This is a chain and I usually avoid them but I must say I will come back. They have parking and that is always a positive for me ! The place is large and the lighting is pretty romantic and soft, the tables are comfortable and they have tvs all over to keep the boys entertained with the latest games playing. The server was friendly and she knew how to navegante the menu, she was great at upselling items while not being pushy.
She was a great server to be honest. MARGARITA FLIGHT- I ordered this to try their variety of margarita flavors, the flight was of a great size for me and there was plenty of booze in the drinks, something I don't experience often in chain restaurants.
I must say that it was a ok choice but even though all of them were pretty good, the winner for me was the boba peach margarita, I wanna come back there just so I can get that own full size. FRIED CALAMARI- it is a large portion and the sauces were pretty good, the calamari was not as crispy and a lot of it was legs, but the overall taste was good TRIO DIP - the dips were guacamole, queso and artichoke.
I must say that all of them were good but the artichoke dip won my heart, I am sure that next time it will be the only dip I'll get, the chips were ok but I wish there was another choice of item, maybe vegetables just like the ones that come with wings would be nice. AHI TUNA SALAD- where to begin on this one.
This is a nice and large portion, without the appetizers this in its own is enough for myself and another person.
The salad itself was good and the dressing was very yummy.
Now this salad was ok but had a bit of issues for me.
There was way too many red peppers, these peppers are rich in flavor so it kind of hijacked the salad flavor a lot, if there were less of them I think it would have been better, NOW the star of the dish.
The tuna itself was a huge disappointment.
The amount of tuna was already not optimal for me, but what actually was the most disappointing part was the taste.
It tasted very fishy.
Almost like I was eating a fish market.
It was not great but we talked to the server and in no time the manager came by to offer another choice, I was full from appetizers so I decided to just give up on the salad all together but my company asked to see the menu, it never came.... It was fine in the end for us as the appetizers were enough.
We were not upset or anything, we were actually happy that they took the salads off the bill and were attentive to try to make it right. Overall I can say that for me the experience was amazing and I will come back for sure!

I took my neighbor out to eat for her 87th birthday today 3/11/24. She enjoyed her food very much.
I must make to your attention, our server, Ms Caroline M had the most kindness personally ever.
I was feeling a little depressed but she didn't know.
She drew a smiley face on my receipt and my takeout container.
That truly made my day. Please let her know how good she made me feel. I thank her so much! 🙂
