“I get back there every chance I get.“

“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!“

“Consistently good food, exemplary customer service, reasonable prices. Plus, one of those cool Coke dispensers with all kinds of crazy flavors. And I almost forgot to mention they have comfortable booths! Do you see why I’m a huge fan of this Presto Pasta? I’ve been a customer since the place opened. They freaking rule!“

“Hands down, some of the best food I have eaten since moving to America! Every bite was bursting with flavor, beautifully prepared, and truly memorable. It was especially wonderful chatting with Chef Michel and sharing our connection to South Africa. His passion for his craft shines through in every dish. The live background music added a lovely, soulful touch to the ambience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the entire evening even more special. From the first bite to the final moment, it was an exceptional dining experience. The Cave is an absolute gem, and we cannot wait to return!“

“We had a great dinner at Prime for my birthday. We love the food & service. The only issue we had is we were charged $6 for club soda! I honestly feel this is way too much to charge a customer. We also sat at the table in front of the fireplace, it was raining & windy out, but the exit area in the patio where we were seated was the only area not covered from the cooler weather & the heater was broken. Luckily the fireplace kept a few of us warm but everyone else was cold. We would've moved but we were a party of 6 & had already ordered drinks and apps. & didn't want to get up and move.“

“Yummy food and Drinks! Great atmosphere! And great fair prices.“
