Tapas Restaurants near Ventura, CA

“A beautiful friendly restaurant with a unique and delicious menu and drinks.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Bank of Italy Cocktail Trust in Ventura! The cocktails were exceptionally well crafted, and they definitely don’t skimp on the pours — every drink was generous and perfectly balanced. The chili margarita was a standout: the ideal mix of bold flavor with just the right amount of kick.

Absolutely looking forward to coming back!“

“I have visited The Cave twice, a week apart. The first time was for a wine pairing dinner, which we did with another couple. There were 5 courses (appetizer, salad, two entree courses, and dessert) and each dish was delicious. We decided to return a week later to see if it would be as good for just an ordinary night out. The restaurant was not too busy (it was a Tuesday) but each of the dishes we enjoyed was well prepared and very good. We ordered the Macadamia Crusted Salmon, a chicken special stuffed with goat cheese and spinach, and another chicken dish. The restaurant is attached to a wine shop, and if you don't want to sample wines by the ounce or order wine off the restaurant list, you can go into the shop and choose from literally hundreds of wines at all price points and then bring the bottle into the restaurant where they will serve the wine for a very minimal ($10) corkage fee. Done be put off by its location in an industrial park. This place is a gem! Inside it looks like a wine cave and they usually have some quiet live music at dinner time. This is definitely one of the better dinner spots in Ventura!“

“Fantastic drinks! Great location!“

“We love dining here and sharing the special wine dinners with friends visiting or neighbors! Staff always delivers outstanding service and food.

Michele is a top-notch chef!!! What a delightful wine dinner, then gave us another treat at lunch- recreating my 91-year-old dad’s favorites! Levi and staff all deliver their best.“

“Izakaya Jin is a friendly place to dine with authentic Japanese cuisine. They offer amazingly fresh sushi, sashimi and nigiri. Hot dishes are just as good! The special sets they create for various holidays are out of this world. We lived in Japan for seven years and we are so thankful to have found a place that offers some of the best food in town!“
