We had so much fun in the cave! Me and Toothless were in the cave and we were asleep and Toothless is already snoring and Toothless is in hibernation and Toothless Watches Over Me in my sleep and Toothless and he has his snores. Luna woke up and the Snowstorm and I had Toothless.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at The Cave. The food was delicious! Really enjoyed it. Well done!!
The only issue was the service. The server was not good. It was our first time at The Cave. We noticed some people were using the wine dispenser machines. When I asked about it and how it works, he just said “you need a credit card for that” then ran away. I think it would be great if the server actually explain the specialities and how this restaurant works. So we just decided to have 1 drink for the night.
We were 3 people and the plates were not coming at the same time. Usually only 2, then wait a few minutes to have someone notice a plate was missing.
The 3 course meal was prepaid but when it was time to pay the drinks, the server (who barely speak or explain the menu) didn’t forget to tell us that the tips were not included on the drinks. So clearly wanted more tips. (Gratuity was included on the meal/person.)
I was expecting better on the service from this place tbh… I had the feeling because the gratuity was already included and the meal was prepaid, the server just did the bare minimum…

The Cave is a great spot for both purchasing and tasting wines. They offer an impressive selection, and it’s a fun place to explore new varietals. The food is good, and the service is consistently friendly. Just be aware that tasting costs can add up quickly, and when the restaurant is crowded, it can get a bit noisy. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and worth a visit.

we had so much fun in the cave! we ate food and I brought my Toothless and it was so fun and we had to sit in the cave and it was so cozy and I was hugging Toothless and I fell asleep and I snored and the cave almost fell apart and I was hugging Toothless and I took a nap and I would snore while toothless would watch over me and I would say good night to Toothless and I would give him a kiss and Toothless and I like cuddling and then Toothless and I like the cave

Gilbert was a fantastic server The pork tenderloin and shrimp was amazing! The recommendation for dessert was the apricot bread pudding was so delicious! Presentation of meals and dessert was top notch! We came in on a Thursday and it half off house merlot..6 glasses of wine less than 30$! Can't go wrong in Ventura! Live music was beautiful ambience also! Thankful I got to experience this place ♡

When looking for a restaurant with a good wine selection that was convenient to our hotel, my husband and I were fortunate to fine The Cave in Ventura. One could never tell from the location or parking lot that such a neat place was there. The atmosphere was that of an old wine cellar in Europe! There’s even a patio. The Cave has wine dispensers where customers can try many wines by the ounce or glass which looked like fun for curious customers. Our server Gilbert was knowledgeable and made a great recommendation when we wanted to try a particular type of wine. He has been there for many years and it showed in his professional manner. Our meals were also very good and came beautifully presented. Lastly Michel helped us choose a variety of wine to take with us, all at very reasonable prices which was just icing on a wonderful evening.

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.

I super appreciate the bottle shop. They carry some of the best wines at reasonable prices for a neighborhood store. They are very educated on their product and always super helpful.
