10. BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By BrooklynDodgers13
We tried to give BJâs another chance. This time we dined in.Service was friendly but slow! We ordered the Spinach dip. It was over cooked and not hot. Lots of chips though! My husband has the shrimp tacos and I had the Mahi Mahi tacos. It seemed like everyone around us was being served but not us. It was therefore not surprising that our tacos were not hot enough and we had to send them back. There was a glitch with the bill as well. Next time we are in the area we will probably try some other place to eat!

Had lunch with my husband and son. All our meals were good. I had the cheeseburger, my husband had the cheese steak sandwich and our son had the ribs. Our server was efficient and very nice. Prices reasonable. Plenty of parking.

First of all, the house is so charming! The process is to order at the counter and then your meal is brought to you. Seating inside is at a premium, but there is also seating outside. The food was very good. I ordered the veggie scramble that came with chunky veggies and to top it off was of course, avocado. The pancakes with caramel was awesome! I had never had that poured on my pancakes before...I'm in! Parking can be challenging too I'm sure on the weekend. Everyone seems to be very friendly. As this restaurant has been recommended several times, I'll be back!

Where did the Lazy Dog Cafe name come from? One snowy afternoon, walking back into the lodge after a long morning on the slopes, Chris noticed a dog lying by the toasty fireplace. Commenting to his buddies on how much he loved his time hanging out there,

Parking is ok. Reception is rather cold. Noise level very high. Menu varied and interesting. Service is good but impersonal. Food presentation is average. Food was fresh, flavors were ok. Prices high for what you receive. Patio mist system was just water droplets
6. The Sycamore Inn Prime Steakhouse

The menu has changed, but the ambiance and quality of food and service still excellent. My husband and I like to guess who is singing that song on the sound system. They are attentive without being obtrusive and very classically trained waitstaff. Remember to order the souffle with your entree so it will be ready on time. The Sycamore Special dessert is a very special treat as well.

Love the food, beers, and the patio. A wonderful little sidewalk eatery where you can relax with friends and family and your dog. The duck fries are wonderful!

We went to Happy Hour because of the wide variety Happy Hour menu and good ratings. As other mentioned in Yelp, service was slow but it was because the bartender was also having to make drinks for the entire restaurant. The woman next to us said she wished she sat at a table to get faster service. The bartender said their Mai Tai is âreally, really goodâ. Nope. It was mostly orange juice, maybe a splash of pineapple juice and a lot of grenadine (which should not be in any Mai Tai).If you want a Mai Tai that makes you feel like youâre in Hawaii, go to any of the Islands restaurants in Southern California. Theyâre the closest thing to the Mai Tai they serve in Hawaii!The lobster mac & cheese was very good. The sauce was the right consistency, but a little on the peppery side. The bacon wrapped shrimp was good. Ask for the sauce on the side because they put a lot of it on the shrimp. Sour dough bread was freshly baked and warm. Couldnât get the bartender back to order more drinks or appetizers, so we gave up and paid.

We went here for breakfast on our way to visit the Maloof House (about 15 minutes away), and were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is a house, and the first floor has been converted to dining space. The outdoor patio has another 10-12 tables, so there's plenty of seating. The weather was warm and sunny and we enjoyed sitting outside. We each "built our own" omelets, and both the egg dishes and the potatoes were very good. This place is worth a detour!

Nice quiet Steakhouse inside the DoubleTree. It was saturday night so the music from the lounge next door was loud, but otherwise the steakhouse was quite empty.It's a little upscale place. Service was very good and attentive.I didn't feel like eating steak so i ordered the Scallops as an entree. The entire entree was excellent, though for the price (~$40 for scallops entree), I wanted the scallops themselves to be fantastic - they were very good but not 5/5 on my scale. The other items on the entree were great.But overall nothing to complain - good, service was good and hit the spot.
