“I hope they do well, everything gets so expensive these days, 50 bucks don't get you much these days”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place is beyond any restaurant I have ever been to. The owners are so sweet and genuine about their service, they truly care about the enjoyment of their customers. The food is even better than the service. Fushion Grill has some of the best food I have ever tasted with good, fresh ingredients. You can tell it is made with love and care for the customer. Overall this place is fabulous, I have visited a few times over the years and every time is better than the last.”
“I’m so glad I found this place. Yes it is the BEST sushi in Conejo Valley. The chef knows his fish. We got most of the specials on the board which were mostly from Japan. I will say that it was expensive but so worth it. Maybe stick to the nigiri on the menu and it won’t cost so much. But I’m so glad I do not have to drive into LA for great sushi. I’m a fan.”
“Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar offers a fantastic combination of delicious food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming vibe that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your time. The menu features a great variety of options, and everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Service was efficient without feeling rushed, and the overall environment was clean and inviting. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the consistent quality throughout the visit. Overall, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar exceeded expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.”

“Friendly family owned business. I work at St.Johns Pleasant Valley Hospital and they donated delicious meals for all the employees during the COVID crisis. I will always support them because of their kindness and thoughtfulness. Extra bonus is that the food is so delicious!”
“My daughter and I had the best little break from shopping here. The store is very cute and clean. The drinks (a cappuccino and a Strawberry matcha ) were absolutely delicious and very well made. We also enjoyed a tasty apple pie and the best Dubai chocolate. Sapphire is the server and she is the nicest waitress I ever met. Highly recommend!”
“Great food and very fast service. As if they anticipated what our party of four would order. I love that! Nothing worse than slow service. I love the courtesy and politeness exhibited by all the staff. Thank you EnT of TO!”

“This is our second great date night at the mighty axe and thanks to JT’s axe throwing tutorial, we managed to pretend that we were professionals when in reality, we are just lucky to hit the board. My wrists are messed up right now, so he was really helpful in helping me find a way to throw without causing pain. I early recommend this place and JT! Be back soon!”

“My husband and I just happened to be in the Thousand Oaks area and found Pokitomik through a google search. We are VERY GLAD we did! The fish is incredibly fresh, great portions, and the owner is the kindest man you’ll ever meet. I’m picky about my poké, but I loved everything about this eatery. 10/10 recommend!”

“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!”
“Best Steakhouse in town! Food is amazing from the appetizers, main dishes to desserts! The bar is beautiful and filled with top shelf brands. The staff is great! Very knowledgeable and super friendly with fantastic recommendations. The owners and chief are frequently walking the dining room and making sure you are having a great experience. Highly recommended.”
“I go there often. The seafood is fresh and the lamb entrees are both outstanding! The service is always very efficient, welcoming and accommodating! We love this place! I highly recommend.”

“Marcello Ristorante offers a wonderful dining experience with authentic flavors, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every dish showcasing quality ingredients and careful preparation. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it an excellent choice for both casual dinners and special occasions. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the entire experience, from the service to the presentation of each meal. Everything exceeded my expectations, and the overall hospitality made the visit truly memorable. I would highly recommend Marcello Ristorante and look forward to dining here again in the future.”
“Went for Sunday Brunch with the family. It was absolutely wonderful. The selections were varied and delicious with something for everyone. The lamb chops, ribeye and salad bar were a perfect compliment to the meal. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the Lava cake for dessert.”
“Was not expecting much from the menu but was very pleasantly surprised. Chicken wings were really good-best I’ve had in a very long time. Also great pastrami sandwich and generous drinks. Staff very friendly and really anxious to please. Definitely my new sports bar.”
“Took my pre-teen daughter and her friend out for lunch here today. They have really nice kids menu selection and for a very generous price. I tried their Eggplant parmigiana. It’s huge in portion and very tasty. I was recommended by the nice waiter to have the egg plant toasted extra crunchy and it was definitely working. The restaurant is spacious with many tables. Lunch time was moderately busy. Kids had fun working kids menu craft page while talking with each other. I noticed the screen on the table. Kids said it will be a little extra service fee to use it if you have a gamer. For me I am glad the kids are out of the screen for a while and enjoyed their lunch time. I got some leftovers for extra enjoyment. Overall a really nice place to dine.”
“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. 😋”
“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.”
“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”

“Urbane Cafe is hands down one of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their Cobb Salad is absolutely amazing packed with fresh ingredients, generous portions, and so much flavor. It’s become my go-to order every time I visit.
What really makes this place stand out, though, is the team. Everyone is always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seems to care about providing a great experience. The staff works hard, keeps everything running smoothly, and always greets customers with a smile.
Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or just a great meal made with quality ingredients, Urbane Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Real crab in the burrito-peefect.The Cancun burrito which had grilled fish and real crab, had an amazing flavor. It comes with tortilla which is great with the salsa bar. Great flavors, ch I ices and pther items at the self service bar. Especially the Habanero. Staff are welcoming and friendly which is a high point. I wished the burrito was a little larger, but with the chips amd crab is filling. I cannot wait to come back again. Overall, 10/10. Flavor 10/10. Cleanliness 10/10. Chill place to eat inside or on the patio.”
“A big Sisters of the Drum shout-out to Topper’s Pizza on Moorpark Road!
Today our Sisters of the Drum lunch group gathered at Topper’s Pizza, and we want to say a heartfelt thank you for taking such good care of us. Our group is part of the women’s drumming class at Goebel Senior Center, led by a wonderful musician and teacher. We take a break from class during the summer, but we still meet for lunch every other week to keep the friendship, laughter, rhythm, and good vibrations going.
Topper’s Pizza was so welcoming, patient, and accommodating with our lively group of amazing women of the “awesome age.” They didn’t mind our laughter, our stories, our songs, or even a little Sisters of the Drum spirit!
We are so grateful for local eateries that make room for community, connection, and a variety of women who bring joy wherever they go.
Thank you, Topper’s Pizza — you rock! 🥁🍕💛
With gratitude from the Sisters of the Drum”
“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.”
“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.”
“Very much enjoy this place. Only go here on occasion because it is pricey but the smoothies and bowls are delicious and very filling! I got the “mystic” smoothie which had cinnamon, dates, vanilla and a ton of other stuff. My husband got the “pink” something and it tasted like fresh pineapple. Very good !”
“It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, great food, and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.”
“Fresh, no skimping, great options, friendly service, order always correct, open all day. Best sushi spot in East Ventura County/Conejo!”
“This is the first time I've been in the shop and purchased anything, and I really love this place! The employees are very knowledgeable, the prices are reasonable for the quality of the product, and the overall vibe of the store is peaceful and enjoyable. I live out of town, but the next time I come back I'm making another visit. Would definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely fantastic! 🌮 The food was authentic and full of flavor, the service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in Mexico. Every dish was fresh and perfectly seasoned — especially the tacos! Definitely a 5-star experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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”

“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”
“The desserts were fantastic. Great service and delicious kabobs.”
“It was a wonderful experience that let us try a few flavors. I've never had gelato. It was delectable. I went with the Elvis, the peanut butter chocolate and the lemon sorbetto It was great. The lemon reminded me of my childhood where you get the frozen lemonade in a cup and eat it with the popsicle stick. They even had board games you and a friend can enjoy. It was a great time”

“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”

There was rose jelly at the bottom which was a fun surprise. I’m still buzzing from how good that was. Customer service was great. They’re very friendly and helpful. This place is in our permanent rotation”
“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!”
“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)”
