Where is the plus to add to a 5 stars rating? Food was soooo good too. Highly recommend, perfect for a family brunch or out with friends night. They also have a Wine night and a montly “Drag me to Dinner.”

My mom and I came in around 3:30 on a Saturday, and we just wanted a little coffee and maybe some dessert. Unfortunately, dessert is not something that the Little lion does. The lovely bartender, Jocelyn, offered to make us some fresh strawberries and cream and we just thought that was just so lovely and kind of her that we said yes. Kudos to her and this restaurant For being such a creative problem solver. And she made us each a delicious cappuccino.

First time trying this little spot. The food was tasty, staff was friendly and polite. The vibe was nice. The service was a bit slow, but overall it was a very pleasant experience. We will be back. Lots of parking, no wait and no reservations.

A great place to eat brunch! I ordered the Florentine smoked salmon Florentine and it was soooo delicious! The flavors were perfect! My other 2 friends were very satisfied because their food was delicious as well! Definitely a place to eat!

Slow, expensive, and good but somewhat run of the mill food. For some areas this would be a hit, but with so many choices in the Ventura area it's not high on our list. Danny's, Allison's, and Two Trees are less than a mile away. Oh, and we come to eat, not see drag shows or political statements.

Pass.

Great atmosphere, prompt and friendly severs! The food was good, but not exceptional. Loved the mimosa flight with several unique juice options. A solid and much needed new brunch addition to Ventura!

This place is INCREDIBLE. I wanted literally EVERYTHING on the menu. This was my first visit here and my meal was beautiful, fresh, and delicious; server was attentive and sweet. Can't wait to go back!

This was our first time at the Little Lion after receiving an introductory flyer at our door. The place was inviting (lovely wood panelling and artwork) and the staff was super friendly and professional. The place was pretty much full but the wait was not long. The bar had lots of openings for those who like casual seating. Booths were comfortable. The menu had a lot of options and we were not disappointed. We tried a couple of appetizers (calamari - excellent and hummus - yummy). I had the poke bowl and my husband had the East side omelette. We shared the bourbon, banana pancake as a side. All dishes were delicious and there were leftovers so there the serving sizes were fine for a hungry appetite. Highly recommend. We will be back.
