I've been here a few times and the service and tastiness of the sandwiches are spot on. The view of the harbor enhanced our time there. Groupons or Living Social usually have a cheese platter and bottle of wine deal which can be easily used here and is worth it. Our waiter gave us a sample of the wine before we made our choice.

Poor quality food. Chicken tasted like fish as if it was prepared without cleaning the oven top after cooking fish. Great server. Bad quality food and pricy for what it was. Will not go back. Cooks backstage workers walked in & out were dirty. Dirty silverware & glasses with flies everywhere. No health grade on windows I wonder why!!!!

I had the mozzarella and tomato with pesto grill cheese with a side tomato bisque soup. the grilled cheese was great, but the cheese wasn't melted, so the sandwich came apart. the bique was very good, think tomato chucks, but the soup was only warm.

Bad experience. The service was terrible and there were dirty dishes on the tables. I heard the server apologizing over and over to customers. It took forever to even put in a drink order, and way longer to finally get our drinks. Then the server said they weren’t able to make one of the drinks after all. This was after 40 minutes of waiting. One person in our group ordered an Old Fashion and apparently they didn’t know how to make it properly either so he just cancelled his drink once he saw what they gave him. We asked for our check and the initial bill had the cancelled drinks on it still so we had to flag down the server to get it fixed. More waiting around to get the tab fixed. Very frustrating.

Four of the five of us spent the first 20 minutes in the bathroom after paying way more money than the food was worth. The servers were all rude and we watched two of them bickering at each other and one of them having a melt down on the cook...it took 30 minutes just to be told they were out of gluten free buns for my wife who is allergic to gluten...no big deal, she opted for the salad...the salad came with a noodle in it? Guess what? she got sick immediately....great way to start our family vacation.

Some friends and i went to see an amazing band here at Cuba Cubana on a beautiful sunday, at The Ventura Harbor. It was crowded but in a good way. The music was pumping, we were dancing most of the time. The service was great, french fries very pricey at $14 for a small basket, but the drinks were delicious. When you here theres a band playing come down and join the fun. The scenery was beautiful with boats and ships docked. Lots activities to enjoy near by. Trust me youll love it

iWe rolled in here about closing time, but the manager said stick around and he'd get us a beer, wine, and some grub. It was a long day, and those were the right words. We had great cheese sandwiches, clam chowder, friendly service, and good beer and a decent house cab. Definitely will go back when we take our next Channel islands trip. Thanks for sticking around the other night!

We had the grilled caprese sandwich with the tomato soup, fish and chips plus at a twisted sister drink. Everything was absolutely delicious!

First time visiting this past Saturday 04/01/23. We were seated in the gorgeous sunshine and met the owner as soon as we arrived. Super cool dude. Funny too.We ordered bloody Mary's but unfortunately they just didn't make the cut. Tasted old, and not anything like tomato. They looked the part but just were not satisfying. I drank mine because I didn't want to waste $ but my husband took one sip and asked for water instead. His was worse than mine and just not good, at all.My son and husband ordered their food which they both said was delicious. I ordered my sandwich wrong and was brought the same one my husband got which against better judgment, I asked to be replaced with a grilled cheese. My grilled cheese was horrible. Oil soaked bread, way too much cheese and the tomatoes on it were chill damaged from being in the refrigerator for too long before being used. My fries were good though.In all honesty, I'd go back again to give it another shot because the owner was so nice, but thats the only reason. It was just okay. Hoping next time is better.

Seriously so bomb I love showing people this place! Still consistent and bomb! You want a great grilled cheese go here! Forever my gem here in Ventura! The bread is all fresh so many varieties, you like tomatoes soup and Mac n cheese?! Ask for the Mac tomatoe soup it's mixed and the best thing to go with a grilled cheese!!! The lighting inside is always dark and romantic, they have bands that play sometimes in the summer time and always great customer service!!
