Can't understand all the good reviews, as they don't match my experience. The service was efficient, but my food was mediocre at best, the coffee wasn't great, and the place had all the ambience of a bus station.

The worst experience dining out for breakfast ever so I get my plate n there is a hair on there. I don’t understand how they did not see it. It was a black hair on a white plate as soon as the waitress put the plate down, I saw it immediately. I looked over to the girl with glasses at the register and told her very discreetly that there was a hair on my plate. She came grabbed my plate and went and got me another one, so yes, I ate my food but was very uncomfortable the whole time. As we got the bill I noticed there was no consideration for what had happened to me so I asked the same girl I don’t get any kind of discount for what happened. She said let me ask the manager I said OK she came back and gave me the bill and it was $1.45 less , I was insulted I said this is it I said I find a hair in my plate and this is all I get and she says yes that’s what the manager said. I said I want to speak to our waitress (Ana) that brought the plate she was even ruder, when I asked her did you not see the hair on my plate? She said no, and she smirked. She kinda laughed at my face (double whammy) not to mention that the whole time we were there eating Ana never came by to ask for refills of coffee or water. (Not even once) so then I said I wanna speak to the manager after speaking to him for about 10 minutes (at least) and I told him how insulted I was with the situation. Mind you that same girl with the glasses has her nerve to pass by as I am pissed and says everybody makes mistakes. Girl this is not the time for you to chime in. I told him what he’s telling me should happen, and how it should happen did not happen. I told him he needs to check his workers. I even told him check the cameras just so he would know that I am not lying about anything that I was saying , he did give me a free ticket meal to return. I will not be returning. I don’t care if it’s a free meal I will not be returning. Just wanted to give everybody a heads up. Check your plate, where there’s one hair there are more!!!

Ana, worst waitress I've ever had. Had a hair in my food and she handled the situation unbelievably unprofessional. No sorry, smirking while I'm telling her about HAIR in my food. Probably should be working somewhere without food. Maybe a gas station or retail store. She needs a lesson in manners ASAP. I feel bad for the restaurant owners having to deal with her attitude.

ONE is because I cannot do NONE as far stars- IDK how I always or WHY I convince myself to return to this place- the owner is short with her words and snotty, the way shes spoken to us when we walk in to give name and # ...always- every time we have dealt w her. And the food, just every singe time, is TERRIBLE. Even order out, they cant get something as simple as making sure there is syrup and butter with the waffles right. The only thing positive from my Cafe Amri experience is sitting w my family and catching up. THAT'S IT.

Would not recommend this restaurant due to the rude host. Don't know his name or what his position is. I visited on 3/1/24. The host was not happy that we didn't want to sit at a table stationed in the middle of the room. We kindly advised him we would wait for a booth. With that he told me my party and I would have to step outside and wait there for a booth. I asked him if he was serious because after all it was raining outside. He said yes. Now that's some pretty crappy service. Well we didn't step outside. We moved to a corner where we wouldn't be in anyone's way. Got seated. Server was good. Ordered breakfast with 2 eggs over medium. They were over easy. Very watery. Yuk! This was my second time at this restaurant in 2 years. First visit was worse. Won't be going there again.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Oxnard for breakfast. The crowds are usually heavy on weekends but that's only because the food is great and the service is even better. Always definitely worth the wait.Parking: There is always plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu with plenty of breakfast and lunch options. Portions and prices are reasonable. My kids have grown up coming and have never ordered something they didn't like.

Great breakfast place! The food is good and fresh! My husband and I love to go here for the past 5 years it has never let us down. The service is good and the place is clean and roomy. I only had sorta burnt potatoes once but that was it.
