We got the chorizo con huevos and very berry french toast. The food came out very quickly. The chorizo con huevos was very flavorful and a good portion size. They also come with your choice of flour or corn tortillas, I got corn and it came with 3. I loved their rice and beans, everything was very flavorful and not too greasy. The french toast was good, I loved the whipped cream it came with. Overall, I liked the food a lot and would come back!

He made a few suggestions on ordering which worked out well, it was all delicious. There's also free valet service that saves you the craziness from finding the scarce street parking. The bad: The prime rib was both overcooked and undercooked. It seemed like my portion was sliced off the original roast then cooked in a broiler. When it came out, the outer layer was cooked medium well. However, cutting into the meat revealed that it was still raw on the inside. I asked for medium rare, and I can recognize medium rare, but the meat inside was a dark red. That's raw or rare at best. I flagged down the waiter to send it back and he was very nice about it. The meat came back with the same problem. Outer layer was again cooked medium well since the meat was all light brown color, no pink at all. Cutting into it revealed a dark red meat inside. I took a few more bites but didn't want to send it back again. The chef was off that night and I didn't want to be a difficult customer. I would recommend something else on the menu, stay away from the prime rib.

Would 100% recommend visiting.

I've been to the Rancho Cucamonga and Monrovia locations. Both locations have decent parking…read moreoptions, along with good food and drink options. Although the Racho locations is much larger with minimal wait times. The Monrovia location is located on Myrtle in old town Monrovia, it has decent parking options but be mindful of the Friday night market happening on Myrtle between Lemon and Chestnut. This location is smaller and may require a wait to be seated but the service, food and libations are pretty good. The ambiance is on trendy side with a variety of age groups from Boomers to human and fur babies. The outdoor patio allows for dogs on a leash. We started off with drinks, girl next door; vodka, elderflower and blackberries, a mezcal drink which I can't recall but both drinks were good! For starters we ordered the bacon wrapped dates with bleu and mascarpone cheese and tempura green beans. Our entrees for the evening were the poblano burger with side salad and the chicken breast with mushroom risotto and broccolini. There was no room for desert otherwise I would've gone with the bread pudding. This is definitely a must try if in the Monrovia area.

Because of the cleanliness concern, we wouldn't return.

Basin 141 is a bar and restaurant located in Old Town Monrovia. It has a very open layout with high…read moreceilings, good décor, and a nice vibe. We sat at a table by the front window facing the main drag. The area definitely has an old town feel with many restaurants and shops up and down the street. There is also a park right across the street. There is plenty of parking around the corner on the street and in a nearby lot. I started out with the Coughlin's Law cocktail (Aviation gin, house infused vanilla syrup, fresh lemon, egg white, lavender bitters, $16). It was a good light drink with light vanilla and lemon flavor. I always love a good foam top too. She started out with a Basil Paloma (Herradura silver tequila, muddled basil & grapefruit, fresh grapefruit juice, lime, simple syrup, seltzer, $15). It had good grapefruit and basil flavor, and was nicely balanced. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower appetizer ($14). The cauliflower was supposed to be grilled, but it seemed almost raw. The buffalo sauce definitely had a good kick. For my entrée, I had the Black Angus Basin Burger (manchego cheese, carmelized onions, arugula, special sauce, brioche bun, $19). The burger was excellent. The cheese, carmelized onions, and arugula was a great flavor combo. The fries were good, but I'd order them more crispy next time. She had the two taco plate with fish and potato tacos ($15). The taco shells were freshly fried, and it was a filling plate that she enjoyed. We had one more round of drinks and I had the Billionaire cocktail (Old Forrester 100 proof bourbon, lemon, house made grenadine, absinthe, $16). This was excellent. It was very balanced, and not boozy at all with a very light sweetness. Her second was the Smoke and Fire (Peloton de la Muerte mezcal, Ancho Reyes liqueur, muddled jalapeno & orange, fresh lime, agave, chili salt, $15). It was pretty well balanced with a medium smokiness. It definitely had a kick of heat on the finish. Our server Lakyn was friendly and provided good service. The menu prices are cash prices. There is an extra 3.5% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was mostly a miss, but everything else was very good so I'm rounding up to five stars. They have a very good sized cocktail and food menu, as well as many beers on tap. They also have happy hour specials. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.

And now my home base mechanic can get to work on it. If you are hungry?! Skip Red Rock. Go to Costco, buy some Wagyu Ground Beef, some USDA Prime, and do it yourself at home with a Grid Iron Plate, maybe buy a torch gun, and get those Yakinuku sauces ready as you rub the marinade on and grill the exterior. But if you are Ok spending upwards of 40 Dineros on pretty good Japanese steak that won't really fill your American stomachs up, then go ahead. The quantities are for Japanese people, small, petite, 5'9 but you have a waist size of 30...for males. I got the US Kobe Harami Skirt, 6oz as recommended by the manager; don't get me wrong, it really good. But I just don't see the price justification to the portion size because I can think of a million ways to create your own and get more value out of the meal. So I want to take a moment here to thank Donald Trump for becoming the next Jimmy Carter. Inflation, Iran, Inflation, Yen Crash, Oil Price rise. Thank you DJT. In the meantime...Enjoy the 40.00 steak before prices double.

This BJs is in a large strip mall with several other popular business and restaurants…read more Consequently, even though the lot is large, parking can still be challenging at peak hours at lunch and dinner, holidays, and weekends. All the various BJs locations seem to have different specials that rotate. On our visit this time, there was a three course meal pizookie special. There was a choice of soup or salad, entree from a list, and choice of pizookie. We got the pizza, wedge salad, and triple chocolate and chocolate chunk pizookies. All of the food was just ok. None was bad, but none was exceptional either. The best items were the pizookies. On this visit, two servers helped us as the first one went to a different section when the new one came on shift. Both of them were very nice and attentive and offered a quality of service that far outmatched the quality of the food. The restaurant was pretty full already even at about 4:00-4:30 for an early dinner on a Sat and was quite noisy between the talking and background music. The restaurant seems centered on the bar which has decent TVs to watch games. We also got a standard margarita with a salted rim. The quality was also just ok, but we like the way they make them. It was consistent with other BJs locations. This BJs is a nice place to have a casual family meal or hang out with friends in the bar to see a game or just chat. We did not see a happy hour menu or advertisement like at other BJs locations, but perhaps we were just there on the wrong day and time. Still recommending giving this location a try, but maybe try to go a little early like we did to avoid the crowd or a wait--a number of people were already waiting for tables when we left.

Felt that wasn't necessary to be talked to like a child. Maybe state that at time of reservation? No need to keep being told that we had a two hour time limit. Ordered expensive rib eyes and ugh! They were Dry and rubbery! Chicken fettuccine was cold! The best part was the huge fly buzzing around us for the better half of our second hour. I'm sure the fly wasn't given a two hour time limit ‍ Would not recommend coming here

I really appreciated that and was excited to eat my meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by how I was treated by one of the staff members. I had ordered online ahead of time since I only have a short lunch break and planned to dine in. There were plenty of open tables, but I was told I couldn't sit because online orders weren't considered "dine-in" and that seating was reserved so staff could make tips. That explanation didn't make sense and honestly made me feel unwelcomed as a paying customer. I was really looking forward to my meal, and the interaction completely killed the vibe. If you plan on eating here, I would recommend ordering in person to avoid any confusion. I'd also suggest the café clarify this policy, because the inconsistency took away from what would have otherwise been a great experience.
