My compliments to the chef for the marvelous cuisine, and to our server, Dan, for his exquisite service and fantastic hospitality. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Food was excellent. Service was good. I don't like it when the food runners have to ask who got what in a higher end restaurant. The waitress was very good.

This place never let's us down. Dan, our server was outstanding and funny too. The food? As always, amazing!

I had called the restaurant about 5 days before my planned date as I wanted to avail the weekday happy hour. So the website says excluding holidays, the day I picked was January 1st. I asked the female who answered the phone about the holiday and the happy hour, to which she said yes. So i went ahead and made my reservation for January 1st. We arrived and asked about it, and we were told no its not available since it was a holiday.

The waiter and food were excellent. He recommended the shredded beef birria tacos, sopes, and lobster mac for dinner entrees. He was not wrong. Amazing Mexican food and freshly made tortillas on the side.

The atmosphere in this restaurant is very nice and there is a beautiful ocean view from many of their tables. The staff is great--especially our waitress, and we enjoyed their food. In fact, it was so good that we went there two nights.

Excellent cocktails and wine selection. We each had margaritas and wine. We even went back to the bar after dinner for more drinks. Great bartenders and service. Nice atmosphere. It was cloudy at sunset so we missed it but would have been great if it was clear that night. I had the clam and mussels in a chorizo tomato based broth that was very good. My main meal was a salad with chicken. Tasty and lots of chicken. Husband had the pork chop said it was good. Service was great. Very close to our hotel. We recommend.
Great ocean view, our waitress was exceptional, wine list was extensive and reasonably priced, and food was amazing. My seafood pasta had shrimp, clams, mussels, salmon and scallops and was delicious!

Ventana Grill is in an amazing location with spectacular views. We arrived around sunset, and it was breathtaking. The decor and vibe is very cool and modern, and the bar staff were excellent, preparing premium cocktails with a Latin twist. We were seated for dinner with a window view and had high hopes for a wonderful meal. Our server was very friendly, but after serving the wine, all of the food was brought out by food runners. We started with the Coctail de Cameron, which was larger and very tasty, then each had salads, which were also very good. For our main, we both ordered the Chile Rellenos. Unfortunately, the food was cold and had large chunks of un-melted cheese in the middle. The server never came back to check to see how the food was, or if we needed anything else. Had to ask the food runner for silverware. We ended up paying the check, then going back to the bar for after dinner drinks. So overall, great location, great drinks, a bit disappointed in the food and service.

Overlooking the water. Great place for seeing the sunset - although I don’t think it sets over the water. We made a pit stop and had dinner.

From the time we were greeted my Maria, the manager, we had an exceptional experience!!! Maria remembers us and makes us feel special! The staff is always checking on us to see if we need anything. Our waiter, Dan, was the best...always smiling,anticipating our needs and quick to make sure we are enjoying our meal & refilling our champagne!! The brunch selection is amazing and always yummy! We never have room to experience everything that grabs our attention. We must have the fresh tortillas at every visit!! Can't say enough about the fresh seafood selection...beautiful!! We will be back soon....and so should you!👍🏼

My husband and I made reservations at the Ventana Grill for our anniversary -- we had our wedding reception there 20 years ago and it was wonderful. This time, it was anything but. Our waitress took our order but barely looked at us and never checked back with us to see how our meals were. The food was mediocre. The ancho Chile encrusted salmon was served blackened and dry as a bone, the sautéed vegetables weren't cooked all the way through. There were food scraps on the floor, some of which had been stepped on. We couldn't wait to get out of there. At one time, this was a fabulous restaurant - I don't know when that changed, but I would suggest avoiding this place at all costs.
