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.

Yet another perfect night at Woven. We are such big fans of Roy Yamaguchi's restaurants (prior to Woven, we most recently dined at Eating House 1849 on Kauai) -- the way in which Hawaiian and Northwest approaches/ingredients weave together (hence the name) is incredible. This is a destination restaurant in our eyes. Sophia set the stage for the absolutely perfect night as a kind, friendly, personable host, and Michael provided extraordinary service. Don't miss the most amazing brussels sprouts from any restaurant (period), the pho-inspired ribs, or any of the fish options from this gem in Western Washington.
