“My kids and husband came to the beach to ride our bikes , we always stop by at this little spot for ice cream sometimes food ! Cashier at front was sweet , fast service. There was no music today but they do have music on occasions, it's a beautiful day for ice cream !! This hit the spot“
“there is one starbucks worker in particular who is so fineee idk his name but he got a mustache but thank YOU sir for making my caramel ribbon crunch:) overall experience was good not a long wait time at all everyone was super fast and friendly.“
“Absolutely wonderful. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nothing was too sweet.The lovely lady at the counter happily walked me through the day’s selection. She said it changed every day. Everything looked incredible, it was hard to choose. We ended up with a raspberry and chocolate twist, a pineapple strudel, a croissant breakfast sandwich, a mocha and a cold brew.The twist and the strudel were perfectly fruity, flaky and soft. The sandwich was freshly made with ham, eggs and cheese. The pistachio croissant was heavenly. Perfectly crusty and flaky, a light pistachio pastry cream in the center, covered in crushed pistachios and sugar, without being overly sweet.Cannot wait to come back and try more.“
“This coffee shop is beyond cute and gives off a certain cozy vibe. I wish it had its own location vs in the train station as I don't feel safe going in there alone which is the only reason I'm giving them a 4 star review. Their gelato ice cream is very creamy and great! I love ordering the cafe de olla latte it's very flavorful. I also like the vanilla latte. The owner is there working all the time and overall everyone is very friendly.“
“This cafe is a gem for breakfast or brunch enthusiasts. The terrace is perfect for soaking up sunny days. Their food is delicious, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. Despite weekend lines, service is efficient, ensuring a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!“
“When I went it was during a very busy time and there was only two people running the shop. But I have to say the food hair was pretty terrific. If you're looking for a reasonably priced flavor packed meal, I would stop here. I don't think you could really go wrong with any of the meals here to be honest. Chutney was flavorful, the Masala Dolsa was crispy but with some fluff and packed with onions (which was a lovely surprise) and it honestly made me regret not ordering two plates.“
“Unfortunately, the Delmonico steak special was not good. Difficult to cut and chew. My wife gave me a hard time for ordering steak in a seafood restaurant, but if you're going to offer the steak, it should be on par with the seafood. My wife loved her sea bass.“
“5/5. Guava pastry is insanely good. The empanadas are made from scratch and they remind me of my mom’s from when I was a kid. The coffee was refreshing. If you’re reading this and you’re still wondering if you should come by and try this place then you’re wasting your time and should just come by already. Before I eat all of their empanadas myself.“
“More food options than the Cheesecake Factory, and it’s all vegan!You MUST try the pazole! It’s the perfect colder weather soup or for if you’re feeling spicy. They are a fusion pick up counter style restaurant and one of my all time favorites! Please check them out and become a regular if you live in the area!“
“Pete's Breakfast House is a classic breakfast and lunch restaurant. It offers delicious, fresh food made with high-quality ingredients. There is a wide variety of food on the menu, including American breakfast and Mexican food. Sandwiches and pancakes are also available. We came to this restaurant by recommendation from my husband's parents. We noticed that our favorite TV food show Guy Fieri's photo was hanging on the wall. I liked the pancake roll the best and I highly recommend it.“
“Decided to try something new and very happy we found this place! Very clean and nice area for people to enjoy and hangout. We got the California poppy and dawn patrol, both very good smoothies and super tasty. 10-11 dollars for a smoothie is pretty steep but with all the ingredients in them and from a business perspective the price makes sense. Will definitely come again, the staff was also very nice and knowledgeable about the products they are selling. Two thumbs up“
“We recently discovered the amazing Waypoint Cafe and had to share! From the warm welcome to the incredible food, this hidden gem has it all. The cafe can get busy, so arrive early (they close at 3 pm). Their carne asada omelette, tri-tip sandwich, and must-try lemon pancakes are simply delicious. Don't forget to try their refreshing mimosas too! We can't wait to go back for more unforgettable moments.“
“Himalaya is a hidden gem in Ventura. I have been going there for a few years and I have never been disappointed. Their food is delicious--flavorful and well spiced and their portions are generous. The chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan are fantastic as you would expect but there are hidden gems throughout the menu--try the Newari Choila or the Lamb Saagwala-- or if you want something a little spicier, any of the Vindaloo dishes will satisfy your spice craving. A good choice for lunch is the Silver Burrito, which has delicious chicken tikka cubes with lettuce and cucumber, mixed with mint, tamarind and yogurt sauces. Besides the excellent food, what sets Himalaya apart from most restaurants, is their hospitality. Sonny and the rest of the crew do an outstanding job attending to your needs--coming by often to refill water glasses and clearing away dishes. You definitely won't feel forgotten there. If you're not sure what you might like--just ask--they are extremely helpful in suggesting dishes based on your likes and dislikes and your level of comfort with the food. After you've been back a couple times (and you will return!) they will undoubtedly recognize you and may suggest additional dishes you may like (I've found so many new favorites this way). Indeed, the staff is so helpful, It starts to feel like you are eating at a friend's home instead of at a restaurant. If you haven't already been, try Himalaya! You will love it and will love having a new place to take family and friends to share their wonderful food and gracious hospitality.“
“Still good food & service, but SO pricey now. Everything in my previous review still stands. Owner & staff are attentive and friendly. Pet friendly. Food is still delicious. The only downside is that the food is now extremely pricey, which I completely understand why during this time (look at the gas prices). An *average* price of a plate is $17. My last bill with 3 entrees, 2 sides and 3 drinks was over $100. They no longer give little dessert muffins with the bill, for us at least. As of now, I consider this breakfast spot an ocassional treat. I'd still recommend everyone to come try this place out. Just remember though: always start with beignets!“
“Visited for my moms birthday and we had a great experience. Food was amazing we ordered pad thi, Tom yum soup, chicken fried rice and broccoli with beef. Everything was great although the broccoli and beef was a tat salty. I would definitely come back. I strongly recommend the Thai tea with boba !!! Literally the best Thai tea I’ve had ! 10/10“
“We were off to a slow start-was the chef on break? But with an appetizer on the house, nice service, and a desire to eat Saag Paneer I waited. The Saag Paneer was full of flavor albeit I wish I had gotten it spicy not Medium. The Chicken vindaloo was good but not inspiring. The garlic naan good but it's usually fool proof. The complimentary rice pudding was light and the cardamom apparent. Good service except for food taking a while.“
“Strey has been open approximately for 10 years. My husband and I ended up coming here for a wine tasting practically when they first opened. Katie, one of the owners had helped us with our tasting and was always so nice, professional, and made great tasting wines. We hadn't been back for over 5 years due to the pandemic and simply being into wine, not being into wine, and now back again. Recently, we ended up coming by Strey for a tasting. We met Scott, the other owner and Katie's husband, who greeted us and gave us a tasting of 5 excellent wines. Plus their wine tasting menu has expanded to include sparking wine (it's only called "champagne" if made in a region of Champagne, France), white and red wines as well as dessert wines. There are also several wines to look forward to come back for a tasting for, try a glass of, or buy a bottle of. My husband and I shared a tasting, and agreed that all the tastings were delicious, although I personally favored the red wines on the tasting list (the Pinot Noir and Petite Syrah blend). In general, I tend to prefer red wines, but the white wine were also delicious! Plus, the winery has several events like an ugly Christmas party, bands that come in throughout the month, glass painting, and several other events! Also, Scott let us try a teeny bit of their dessert wines - and we found ourselves having to buy a bottle of our favorite! Strey is an excellent place to try out different wines, converse, and relax. Thank you to the owners of Strey for making this a comfortable, pleasant, and delicious experience for me 10 years ago - and even now!“
“We were so lucky to be at Transmission Brewery at the same time Dave England from Jackass was there. My daughter and I had the honor of meeting him. We are big fans of the Jackass Movies and Transmission Brewery. It looked like he really enjoyed his beer of choice and got one to go. Thanks Transmission ???? and Dave for all the great movies. Made our day!“
“This is The Cutest lil hidden gem just steps away from the beach. Come grab some Delicious grub and enjoy it here or at the beach! Definitely a fun cafe with huge portions, even the Mimosas were HUGE! ?? I recommend for the great service and food but most of all it's on the way to the Beach ?I love the sand everywhere ?“
“Just tried Russel's for the first time. Wow!The buttermilk and apple fritter were the best I've ever had.Fritter was perfectly crisp on the outside yet moist and full of apple and cinnamon flavors on the inside. The buttermilk was exactly what you'd want it to be.Combine that with great customer service and you gotta try this place out!“
“When I drove up I wasn't sure if I was at the right spot. Keep driving, Topa is located at the very end. I met a group of friends here on a Friday after work. This huge space has lots of area to enjoy.Get space to enjoy a drink and let your little one explore.Some type of Reís, 9.8“
“This place is the local's favorite for good reason. Meats are expertly smoked, and their sandwich and other dishes are prepared perfectly. My personal favorite is their tri-tip sandwich "cheese-steak style" - like a little bit of heaven on bread!If you're visiting Oxnard, this is a must visit restaurant!“
“Leashless Brewing is a great little place that brews some awesome beers and seltzers.I am Not a seltzer drinker but there is something in the Mosa and Strawjito Seltzer that keep us coming back. The TriFin and syncopation are also two awesome beers you gotta come by and try. Whenever we come to Ventura or come through we have to stop and get beers to go.“
“☕️?Peirano's has the BEST Espresso Martini in town! Strong, smooth & better than dessert, IMO.Lovely heated patio for large parties or for two. Fresh food, homemade vibe, and restaurant quality. Drinks were amazing all around. It gets packed here even on a Thursday night, so you know it's good!!! No pictures because I was having too much fun!“
“What a great find! Better than any coffee shop I've been to in a long time! House-made gelato and baked goods (including a wonderful selection of unique gluten-free items!), organic coffees and teas, interesting and unusually flavored coffee and tea beverages...all in a gorgeous location on the Ventura Harbor! Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free and vegan options!“
“I have lived in Camarillo for 5 years and have relatives and been coming back and forth Camarillo for years, I'm not sure how I missed This spot, but when I found it it's been my constant go to. I constantly meet my friends there. Coffee is good Affogato or however it's spelled is very good! Cookies are also another favorite. I'm not much of a sweet tooth type of person, but 85% of the time I end up getting a cookie. Staff is nice and friendly, great place to bring my wife and daughter to play board games or card games.“
“Huge pizzas with tons of toppings worth the $30 price point. Great drink options as well. Amazing garlic fries with huge portions. Great for groups and a good starting point for cruising mainstreet. The decor inside is vibrant and outside has great seating options.Kid-friendliness: Tons of space and allows minors.Wheelchair accessibility: Great seating easy for wheelchair users.“
“I'm a big fan of MadeWest Brewing Company! Their Hazy IPA has become a go-to beer for me no matter the occasion. So, I was very excited to check out their brewery in Ventura when the opportunity presented itself. My experience here did not disappoint. I found this location to be fairly low-key, providing the perfect atmosphere for an afternoon drink. Service was nice and friendly. Being a big Hazy IPA fan, I can be pretty picky about the taste and quality. That has never been a concern with MadeWest, as they consistently serve one of the best Hazy IPAs out there. Go ahead and check this place out!“
“So, I swung by B & J Drive-In for a quick lunch, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience! Picture this: a charming little diner with a classic drive-up setup. You order at the window, grab your number, and voila, food's on its way.First impressions? Clean as a whistle. Not a speck of trash in sight, and the staff? Super friendly and helpful. They even helped me navigate their menu with ease.Now, onto the grub. Oh boy, where do I start? They've got everything from juicy cheeseburgers to mouthwatering hot wings. I opted for the Asada burrito, and let me warn you, it's massive! Flavor-packed and oh-so-satisfying. My brother went for the corn burritos, and he couldn't stop raving about them. Fresh and homemade vibes all the way.But wait, there's more! My nephew tackled their colossal cheeseburger like a champ. Two patties, onion rings, cheese, bacon...you name it, it's on there. And trust me, it's as ginormous as it sounds.All in all, B & J Drive-In gets a big thumbs up from me. Quick service, delicious food, and that cozy diner vibe make it a winner in my book.“
“If u haven't been here...then you are missing out! By far, this is the best place to satisfy your seafood craving. They got it all. The first truck offers food that is prepared for you. From panko crusted oysters and oyster tacos to sea urchin tostadas and scallop ceviche, all made fresh to order. There is also a variety of oysters ready to eat raw or grilled, with multiple sauces and variations to stimulate your taste buds , best part is that you can do the shucking and grilling yourself, but for those unable to, they offer it shucked as well. The second truck offers things you can grab and go as well as artisanal crafted food. Canned smoke clams, a 3 cheese cheese board, crafted ice creams, and an amazing key lime pie. BONUS: you literally right next to the beach so what more can you ask for. TIP: park in the San Buenaventura state park and tell them you're here for the jolly oyster and you will get the first hour of parking free! Great food and great experiences guaranteed“
“4.7 stars is selling this place short! This is hands down the best most authentic Mexican food I have had in a long time. The food was so flavorful. I had a shrimp burrito and my wife had the combo plate with cheese enchilada, taco, and chili relleno. The chips and salsa didn't stop and one of the guys came by and asked if we liked spicy salsa.... yes please. He brought us a habanero salsa that was not just straight fire. It had so much flavor. Keep making that for sure! The beer comes in an ice cold glass. Oh and you want atmosphere .... this place treats you like family. Watching the locals come and go as we ate dinner, definitely tells me this place is good. The staff is so friendly. The prices are great for the quality and quantity of food you get. It's a shame this place is over 5 hours from my house. With what they got going here I'm sure they will be here next time I'm in town. If you are not a local (like me) and you are looking for THE Mexican food place, come here. Just don't drive fast, I missed the entrance and had come back around. There is limited street parking but way more parking behind the restaurant in the alley. Have a great meal!!Vegetarian options: Want to sub something non meat in your taco... get the potatoes!!! Outstanding!“
“We happened upon the Red Tandem Brewery while riding our bikes in Oxnard on our anniversary weekend getaway. A band was setting up in the parking lot just outside. So we got a couple of beers and copped a squat on the curb to listen! The beer and the band was called The Hairy Monks, and both were very enjoyable! We even bought a 4-pack to bring home with us! If you're in the Oxnard area, I recommend you checking them out!“
“Tamarind Thai impressed me with its ability to customize traditional dishes, catering perfectly to specific dietary preferences.I ordered red curry, prepared without fish sauce, and retained its rich and aromatic essence, proving that authenticity can be maintained even with ingredient modifications.The basil fried rice, ordered without egg, was a flavorful companion to the curry, bursting with the fragrant essence of basil that elevated the dish. Overall, Tamarind Thai delivers a delightful culinary experience, showcasing their skill in crafting dishes that are both delicious and accommodating.“
“Bottomless Mimosa for 20 dollars for and 1hr30min. Food is delicious! Service is great, located in a popular part downtown. Dogs are allowed from what I can tell for outdoor seating. Spanish/English speaking atmosphere if you're bilingual. No complaints! Must go to!“
“Had dinner Saturday night with my wife, food was amazing. We started with the mussels as an appetizer then I had the crab and spinach salad and my wife had the cave salad add salmon. Everything about it was amazing. Especially the service, Sarah was our main server but we also were helped by a Rachel and Megan. We sometimes forget about the cave with its location but it’s a place we’ve always loved and and enjoyed when we get the chance to get in.“
“The crunchy Parmesan Chicken Tacos are absolutely amazing! Top tier, these are my son's favorite tacos and let me tell you.... They hit different! We don't get anything else. Staff is always friendly, some seating inside and outside, and it's a 1 minute walk to the beach.“
“Andrew was superb in assisting us with our bowl. Not only was he patient, he was very attentive to any questions we had. This location is clean, simple but inviting. We ordered a large Acai base 3/4 filled and topped to our hearts desire. While I don't usually opt for chocolate, my brother wanted to try it so we ended up with a surprisingly good mix of fruits and sweets. Definitely won him over as he wants to return again lol! They have a number of bases to choose from and while it's so hard to pick, Acai is my go to. Can't wait to return and try different types of variety.“
“This is a great neighborhood craft brewery to stop by when in downtown Ventura. We love the rotating selection of beers ( many times offering a sour as well). We enjoy the relaxed vibe; indoor and outdoor seating, along with the friendly staff to help with beer selections. There are often food trucks ( the schedule is in their website). We especially love when the taco truck is there on the weekends.“
“Good food, lovely service, and great selections of BBQ foods. Would recommend everything in the meal except the pizza. It was a bit underwhelming. Other then than great friendly and lovely staff and good food. Just know that parking is tight and small.“
“I have since relocated from the 805 and really miss the food. I would drive back for it if time permitted. Al pastor is awesome, but ironically their chicken recipe is what I can't forget---chicken burrito, chicken tacos, chicken quesadilla, chicken anything. Very tasty spicy salsa, they don't call themselves Diablo for nothing! And get those fryer fresh chips, quesabirria, chicken burrito, a carnitas torta, and some fish tacos!“
“Their ice cream is fantastic. We always stop by to get our fill whenever we are in the area. They have a large selection of flavors that have all been good. You can select many different flavors when you purchase a single scoop so you can sample their selection. It is worth a visit when you are in the area. They also have locations in Santa Barbara. I believe that is where they got their start.“
“Dry sautéed eggplant Pork xiao long bao Chong Qing special chicken Wonton in spicy sauce Service can get a little tight as they get busier. A certain waiter can do with better customer service but after that, he serviced our table fine. This is not your average Chinese spot, so come in with a hearty appetite. Food here is one of a kind in Ventura County, that's for sure! Loved their dry sautéed eggplant and chong Qing spicy chicken. Note that they close from 3pm-4:30pm“
“Fun little brewery spot tucked up to the freeway. The beer was outstanding and the customer service was awesome as well. They had a very large selection of beers on tap to try. Small outdoor patio to sit at, opened up a large area inside with pool tables and arcade machines. Had some snack foods available but nothing really substantial to eat. If you want to eat they will let you get a pizza next door and bring it in to have with your beer. I’d say of the four breweries we tried this weekend these guys had the best beer by far.“
“Cutely decorated quaint cafe. I was charging my car across the street and had to use the restroom when I discovered this place. They must have the beat banana bread I have ever had. The cream cheese spread and toasted warm bread is absolutely delicious!!“
“Duke's has become my favorite beach bar in all of ventura county. I used to come here to watch football games on sundays. Their friendly staff, fair priced cocktails, and overall ambiance makes it so comfortable and a fun place to unwind. I usually go by myself however, I recently visited last weekend with a friend just for some drinks. I was able to catch some of the sdsu basketball game too! It is always so much fun and I'm looking forward to the next time I visit.“
“The absolute best Irish food this side of the Atlantic Ocean. We go here all the time and try to get something different everytime. The curry chicken is to die for. The pot pies are insane. The potato soup is great because they don't use bacon. The service is top notch. Oh yeah, the beers and Irish whiskey shots can't be compared to. This place ROCKS.“
“Old school mid century diner vibe right smack in the middle of Downtown Ventura... The food was good and the service was excellent. This particular trip I had a BBQ beef sandwich with fries (my arteries suffered but damn it tasted good) and split a shake with my wife.“
“We had the breakfast burrito and the quesadilla and they were very good with large portions. We will get 2 meals out of this order. The potatoes are nice and crispy and salted just right. We will come here again when we are in the area.Most seating is outside but they do have 7 tables inside.“
“I lived in the area on and off for over 25 years. This is the first time ever coming here. I was walking in blind, I knew nobody here and knew nothing about this place. Driven past hundreds of times but never stop. First impression was awesome. Great environment and atmosphere with the tavern. Everyone was cool and fun and very welcoming of me being there. Sammy the bartender was awesome. Very attentive to my drinks and everyone’s else’s drinks , knowledgeable on what he’s serving, and just a friendly attitude towards everyone there. Awesome local spot to get some great beers and wines. They have darts, a shuffle board table, and a digital jukebox to play your favorite tunes. I would definitely recommend the Beachcomber Tavern to anyone that is local, traveling through or the vacation rental people. I will definitely be back myself.“
“Amazing lattes! My friend and I got four shots in a large and they were perfect. The service is really great, super friendly and helpful. The avocado toast was delicious!! We loved the comfy couch where we could sit and chat and eat and drink!“
