Let me start off with the obvious: this place is not cheap. 1 appetizer, 2 mains, dessert, wine, tax, dessert ... almost $200. IT IS WORTH IT. The food is superb and not oversized servings. The patio setting is fantastic (it could use more regular tables instead of low/benches for plating). And the owner takes extreme pride in serving and getting to know every guest. There is no rushed feeling; in fact, it is the opposite. No one under 21 allowed (so no kids); fantastic for date night or small groups. Parking can be hard to find. Reservations REQUIRED.

Lovely place. The food is amazing! The owner is wonderful and attentive. It is an intimate setting. It is a slower paced place since it is smaller, so plan on taking your time here and enjoy your night!

The place is gorgeous. Ambience is nice. Location is nice and close to the beach. On the other hand, the service is bad. The owner is the only one that was working besides the cook. He needs to hire more help. I was hoping to have a lovely dinner with my wife but we ended up just having an appetizer, which was great but I was really looking forward to dinner and desert. When I flagged the owner down, he asked, “do you want the check?” He told me earlier he would just take my appetizer order and we click order food later so he knew we wanted dinner. We have been there for two hours already and only had water and bread and cheese. We left and went to Chick fil A. I was very disappointed and wanted to love this place. While the food we had was great the service was very poor. Thr brightside, my wife and I had a great time talking to one another!

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!
