An utterly delightful experience from start to finish. Delicious food, exquisite wine, intimate setting. The owner, Parfait, is such a doll. I live in LA and I’m already planning on a return trip to Ventura just to visit this restaurant again. Magnifique!

Exceptional service, incredible food, cozy and nestled environment and KID FREE (21+ only). We ordered the garlic bread to start (definitely a nice bite to hold you over for the main dishes, if you don't want anything too filling). For dinner, we ordered pasta which is clearly made with all the heavenly cheeses. If you're a chocolate lover, the dessert is for YOU! Forgot what it was called, but it was like a chocolate cake with ganache and more chocolate and I cannot explain how delicious it was. It's not some milk chocolate cake, so don't be fooled by all the chocolate. Cannot wait to return here and enjoy another wonderful dinner!

This place brings the french bistro style to Ventura with a very warm atmosphere. The food is delicious and the ingredients are very fresh. We were here for date night and it was so lovely. We were able to converse, enjoy our food and the amazing service. Thank you Parfait!

Perfect in everything! I wholeheartedly recommend spending a delicious and especially pleasant evening
A truly unique and hidden gem. You need to knock to gain entry, adding to the exclusivity. The owner, who also serves as the waiter, is both friendly and professional. If you're seeking something out of the ordinary and different from typical restaurants, this is the place to visit. Merci!

This is an absolutely gorgeous little place. This quaint little garden doubles as a restaurant and the food and service are incredible. We had such a great time with the owner/waiter. He was such a great personality. Don’t miss this place when you’re in town!

We've enjoyed Parfait's warm hospitality both on the eclectic patio and in the cozy dining room. His warm, inviting demeanor is matched by his delicious menu. We've yet to find a dish that was anything less than excellent. Our favorite "secret" spot. Merci!

OMG what an amazing restaurant and experience. The owner Parfait welcomes you and makes you feel so welcome that you leave feeling as a you are departing from a dear friend's house.The food was so above and beyond! We started with the Canard Pate and a French wine. I have not had that wonderful a pate since my time in France. The Barrel 33 Salad was just what I love with nuts, fruit and vinegarette.We both had pasta. I had the Russian Penne and my wife had the White and Blue Penne. Both were great with a lot of flavor layers. The pasta was cooked perfectly.To finish we had the Petite Fantasy. Chocolate overload in the best way possible. What was great was that we were joking with Parait about my wife's love for whipped cream. 5 mins later after the dessert, he brought her a bowl of whipped cream, just for her! Very nice!Overall, there is no substitute for quality and Parfait and the Barrel 33 restaurant are the best quality! Oh and the French music was cool too!
