“I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review for Side Street, I am always in a happy food comma post-brunch and forget. Side Street has long been my absolute favorite restaurant in Ventura County! When it comes to the menu at Side Street, you genuinely can't make a wrong choice. Personally, I'm hooked on their country fried steak and waffles. Hands down the best gravy you'll ever have! There's something about the way they make their coffee that has me drinking half a pot of coffee I swear. When I go out to eat, I expect the food to be better than what I could make myself at home. It's a standard that so many breakfast/lunch restaurants seem to miss, but Side Street consistently exceeds these expectations without fail. What sets Side Street apart is not only the outstanding food but also their commitment to keeping prices reasonable. You definitely get more than your money's worth here! So many of their dishes come with 1) eggs, 2) toast or biscuits & gravy, AND 3) home fries or hash browns. It's a breakfast lover's dream come true! In the post-COVID era, the closure of so many beloved family-owned restaurants was heartbreaking. Side Street not only weathered the storm but continues to thrive. Stepping into Side Street feels like entering a home away from home. Suzanne, the owner and founder, is a constant presence, working alongside her husband, Ryan, and son, Drew. This is as family-owned as it gets, and that authenticity resonates in every corner of the restaurant. What truly makes Side Street special is the family environment. Every member of the staff makes the atmosphere so welcoming. It's evident that they take pride in providing exceptional service, making each visit a memorable experience. In a time where good, family-owned establishments are hard to come by, Side Street stands out as a beacon of what going to a restaurant should be. From the warm atmosphere to the delicious food and impeccable service, this restaurant will always be my go-to. If you haven't experienced the magic of Side Street, it's about time you do! Truly a hidden gem of Ventura County!”

“Located inside of Nordstrom at The Oaks Mall (on the 2nd floor), this restaurant is a nice little hideaway from all typical dining choices available when I work in TO. It's familar, and also nice, but not pretentious. The food and drinks are consistently good and on par with the other locations, and the service is great ( service may be even better than some other locations). Thank you for the pleasant service, wonderful food, and hideaway vibes in TO”

“Dinner detective was a fun and creative way to celebrate our office party, actors were very good. The sound was echoing and I wish they had microphones to make it louder and heard from all directions. Initial mingling instructions were not very clear, nobody knew what we re doing at first. But as clues were given, it was getting better. Crowd was pretty good in role playing, so it was difficult to figure out who was the actor and who was the guest. Overall fun and different experience.”

“Loved everything about this place. Our server Thomas aka T3 was amazing and gave us beginners his suggestions. All was worth it. Those strawberry Moscow mules 🔥!!”

“We came between lunch and dinner/early dinner. The restaurant was quiet. The food was excellent. We got the pollo saltado and the Ceviche. They are both excellent. The staff was so helpful since this is our first time here. The portion is very large They also serve breakfast, which I will try next week. For my next visit, I will try the tamale and their fried banana. 😋”

“I absolutely love Urbane Cafe! Every time I come in, the staff is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind it really makes the experience even better.

“I had to find a new coffee spot kind of last minute after another place dropped the ball. Called Peet's over here in Oak Park, and they actually answered the phone—what a relief. They got my order sorted out quickly and I could tell they were on top of things. It's nice to know there's a reliable option when you need it!”

“This is a must to go to for some real good food”

“comida deliciosa, excelente servicio”

“I have been living near for close to a decade. I don't know how long this taco truck has been here. I do remember when I moved here, there was a teenager k that I found too expensive so I never tried it. Part of the problem is that I knew other places that I'd rather go eat at. Now a days, either said places aren't as good and those that are, are simply too far of a drive.

That is how I ended up coming here for the first time and was I glad I did. The prices arw too bad and their tacos are great. I got tacos of carne asada and chorizo. Both were extremely good and it is hard to find taco trucks with good of these meats.

Don't be afraid to stop by. When I did, there was no one around. Before I knew it, the place got packed. All kinds of people came to eat or apparently ordered ahead.”

“Had these bundt cakes at a birthday party on Saturday evening and they were fantastic. I tried the vanilla, red velvet, and chocolate. All were really good. I especially liked the chocolate one. Rich chocolate flavor, moist, with just the right amount of frosting. I appreciate that the frosting wasn't too sweet so that the flavors weren't overpowered. Lots of attention to all details made for outstanding results.”

“When Pierre Chapet gets involved with a Restaurant you know your getting the freshest sushi 🍣 and the best services out there! Abraham Essinger, LCT Bend, Oregon”

“I just wanted to thank the owner and staff for your generosity and patience yesterday on your busiest day of the year. On a whim I decided to stop by. My family was super happy when I got home. Our boys decided every Friday will be Valentino's. And I couldn't agree more. Thank you again.”

“Just had our usual family Sunday pizza and salad, at thousand Oaks, staff all great as usual, place very busy but got served very quick salad all fresh pizza great lovely friendly atmosphere .”

“This is where we get cakes and cookies when we want to level up our hosting game or show up at someone’s house with something gorgeous and decadent. Definitely a huge step up from your average grocery store bakery and that’s reflected in the pricing, but depending on your needs, totally worth it.

Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free bakery items too.”

“Love the Thousand Oaks location! Kind people and great service! Tried all soups and loved them all. It was hard to choose just one for lunch! Thank you!”

“great service good food & portions”

“Went to robeks with my husband and got two drinks to share. My husband normally likes the fruit stuff and I like more of the rich stuff. I got the “nuts about protein” which was fantastic. It’s Coffee, Peanut Butter, Cinnamon, Honey, Frozen Yogurt, Low Calorie Active Water, Multi-Vitamin and Whey Protein. My husband got the “big Wednesday” which is Peach, Strawberries, Banana, Orange Sherbet, Pineapple Sherbet, and Papaya Juice. It was very sweet and he loved it! We will definitely be back as we prefer this place over some of the other smoothie places”

“Absolutely love their fish tacos, fish enchiladas, and shrimp tango. The salsa bar is a big win too—especially the homemade sauces.

The fish is always incredibly fresh, never fishy, never weird. You can really taste the quality.”

“Love this place. The fish is fresh and the option to build your own bowl is great.”

“Good!!! Ordered online and ready when I got there. Quick with healthy options.”

“Perfect blue collar grab-n-go type of place or if you are willing to spare 10 minutes which is totally worth the wait, and order a phat cubana torta for breakfast. That thing is at least 3” O.D. stacked with egg, bacon, sausage, chicken fillet, and other stuff.”

“Sunset Terrace is my "GO TO" social and sports bar in Thousand Oaks and I frequent 3 times a week. By far they have the best happy hour on weekdays 3 - 7 pm. (Drinks - 50% off / Food - 25% off). They have plenty of pool tables, big screen TVs, and the only bowling alley (4 lanes) in town. The crowd is mostly locals who welcome newbies and make them feel right at home. The bartenders and servers are friendly and efficient and I rate their food a #10. The have security and I like the fact that never have I seen a fight there. Give it a try and I promise you can't go wrong. Thanks for reading this, Bruce Love”

“Go Fish & Sushi has officially become our go-to spot. We’ve made it a tradition to eat here pretty much every Friday, and even when we can't stay, their takeout is just as high-quality and fresh.

Why We Love It:

The Chef’s Specials: We’ve ordered almost every special roll on the menu at this point, and they are consistently delicious. You can tell the fish is fresh and the combinations are well-thought-out.

Generous Portions: Unlike many sushi spots that overcharge for tiny bites, the portions here are very satisfying. You definitely get your money's worth.

Kid-Approved: Our kids absolutely love the Salmon Teriyaki. It’s their favorite spot to go get dinner after gymnastics.

Atmosphere: It is incredibly family-friendly. The staff always makes us feel welcome, which makes dining out with the whole crew much less stressful.

If you’re looking for a reliable, tasty, and welcoming sushi spot, this is it. We’ll see you guys next Friday!”

“Good food and the Holger’s Hero’s band fantastic!”

“I've been here a few times since they opened. My favorites are the catfish, shrimp, collard greens, yams, rolls, and hush puppies. The prices are SUPER low compared to other seafood/cajun places and the staff has always been kind. I hope they'll be around for a long time so that I can try everything on the menu 😊”

“Nice and cozy boba place. This one is in the Thousand Oaks Mall, first floor close to the food court. Kids said their drinks were tasty. They ordered strawberry mango boba smoothies and lychee smoothie. They drunk up everything. Recommended for people who like boba drink. Cheers!”

“Amazing food, top tier service, and beautiful location. I was very satisfied. This place is on the pricier side, but for a great reason! Well worth it. Cant wait to come back and try other items.”

“Amazing cafe with ceremonial-grade matcha drinks — absolutely loved the matcha cold foam in the matcha squared drink, also enjoyed the hot lavender bloom latte. This was a great cafe, appreciated everything about the experience and stayed to work a bit longer 😁
On day 2, tried a dirty matcha squared with a shot of espresso and it was even better 😋
A very nice atmosphere for working (the music is a bit loud, but the furniture and tables are comfy and there are outlets)”
