“While I was doing Uber, I found myself in Ventura around lunchtime and stumbled upon a restaurant that served calamari, so I just had to stop! I was warmly greeted by a friendly waitress named Blanca, who recommended some delicious items from the menu. Unfortunately, I only had time to grab my calamari to go. But after devouring it, I can't wait to come back! Oh, and let's not forget about the amazing bread and butter - absolutely delightful. Yes sir, you'll definitely see me again!”

“Super fun. We had a great group dinner. The food was great and so were the staff.”
“Amazing authentic Indian Desi food!! The best Indian food I have had so far in California was from here. The chicken korma was creamy spicy and yummy! Finger licking. The lassi was great. Naan and Thali with tandoori chicken was perfect. The naan bread was freshly made. The chicken was of high quality. They gave us free coupons for the next visit and also complimentary Aloo tiki and dessert. I highly recommend this place. 10 out of 10.”

“had a black coffee and a beef empanada. that empanada was something else... great flavor from the filling, and the dough, my goodness. flaky, flavorful, buttery. my mother makes empanadas that have more of a crumbly bready texture... good but I prefer this hands down.vibe is great. low key, unpretentious, very welcoming, familial.I plan to try the other empanadas and the pastelitos over time.”

“Chili Basil, is great addition to the Ventura restaurant scene. The food is simply delicious, especially the ribs, melts in your mouth. My husband and I have made this restaurant our go to Thai in California and always look forward to coming in seeing the friendly staff and sitting down to an amazing, traditional Thai meal in a welcoming atmosphereVegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian menu such as Pad Thai tofu, mushrooms Tom yum soup, vegetarian spring roll.Wheelchair accessibility: Big space for wheelchair.”
“When I went it was during a very busy time and there was only two people running the shop. But I have to say the food hair was pretty terrific. If you're looking for a reasonably priced flavor packed meal, I would stop here. I don't think you could really go wrong with any of the meals here to be honest. Chutney was flavorful, the Masala Dolsa was crispy but with some fluff and packed with onions (which was a lovely surprise) and it honestly made me regret not ordering two plates.”
“Always fresh and delicious. Best Veggie sandwich on Marble Rye. Turkey club also a winner. It’s so nice to pick up food before a concert. We took our Sammies to the Santa Barbara Bowl tonight. Perfecto!”
“Best milk stout I’ve ever had! We ordered lots of food (sausage/cheese dough balls, pepperoni pizza, Caesar salad, fries, snack plate) and it was all delicious! I also really liked the kombucha!”
“My new go to spot when in Downtown Ventura. Awesome Taco called a Salsiado Taco over there that is to die for. You won't find it anywhere else!! The staff is super helpful and friendly!!”
“Thank you so much for offering a vegan option around here…there are so few! This is definitely not a healthy spot, but the food is delish and everyone who works here are very sweet. I also like that they are conscious about gluten-free options.”
“Loved that they still serve the old fashion Waffles! Hard to find nowadays. Very tasty too!”

“Absolutely wonderful. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nothing was too sweet.The lovely lady at the counter happily walked me through the day’s selection. She said it changed every day. Everything looked incredible, it was hard to choose. We ended up with a raspberry and chocolate twist, a pineapple strudel, a croissant breakfast sandwich, a mocha and a cold brew.The twist and the strudel were perfectly fruity, flaky and soft. The sandwich was freshly made with ham, eggs and cheese. The pistachio croissant was heavenly. Perfectly crusty and flaky, a light pistachio pastry cream in the center, covered in crushed pistachios and sugar, without being overly sweet.Cannot wait to come back and try more.”

“Hannah made such a great açaí bowl. A true legend.So many great juice, smoothie, bowl, and coffee options here. They’ve also got great parking. A must stop ??”
“While staying nearby, I made a daily habit of the Açaí (Goji Granola) bowl. Crunchy, cold but not too cold, a lovely non-heavy breakfast. I'm not usually much of a juice person, but I did try a San Nicolas, and it was clean and delightful.”
“If you ever want to have an excellent meal that will leave you feeling satisfied, this is the place. Each of their course selection leaves you wanting to come back to try the next one. You cannot make a bad choice. They bring you each course separately, it allows you to cleanse your palette and prepare for the next sensuous parade of flavors each complementing the other. The prime steaks are cooked to perfection. The flavor is a delicious grilled beefy flavor that makes your mouth smile with delight and your throat release a quiet...mmmmmm.... The staff is both friendly and professional. The complete the ambience of this gem. Sunday brunch will give your weekend the perfect outing. Both the indoor and outdoor dining provide a great experience. This is a great date night place to go before seeing a movie down the street.”

“Trying to decide where to eat and wandered into this great little beach restaurant. Excellent food, service and a friendly staff. We had 3 dishes: Crab Rangoon, Laad Na and, Cashew Nut with a seafood mix. The Cashew Nut was the best dish with Laad Na a close 2nd. We will definitely be stopping by next time in Ventura!”
“The food was fresh and incredible. I loved every dish I ordered.”
“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.”
“Ahi poke appetizers was delicious. Dinner was so tasty. The manager was so pleasant, he sat and talked to us told us what was happening and going on at the Barrelhousr 101.”
“Excellent food, amazing service and affordable. We will be back!”
“I recently visited The Cave Restaurant and Ventura Wine Company. I hadn’t been there in years and was thinking it would only be appetizers or small plates. It was a pleasant surprise to enjoy such a quality meal and delicious wine and bubbly selection. We were in the back room a bit away from the bustle of the main area, where we could have a conversation. My friend and I shared their Prix Fixe Weekday Meal which consisted of an appetizer and dessert to share along with an entree for each. We decided to add a bottle of French bubbly. We started off with the cranberry cave salad which was so fresh and crisp. It was served on one long plate that we had to portion out ourselves. I would suggest plating it up separately for convenience to the guests. For dinner my friend had the Eggplant Parmesan and I had the Ahi Tuna. It was the best tuna I’ve ever eaten. The pieces were firm and flaky with just the right amount of crust for flavor. The eggplant was served over spaghetti and was a cheesy crisp and delight. Both dishes were mouth watering goodness! We chose a lighter dessert of fresh berries with Italian Zabaione. The perfect blend of flavors to end an amazing meal. Do not miss this gem!”
“I was surprised when I came to this place on a recommendation from a friend. It's a little plain on the inside but very spacious. I thought this place was a buffet of seafood, but I was wrong. This place is a crab boil place. It was so delicious. We got the house style blue star platter. There was so much food on here. We got mussles, corn, crayfish, and shrimp with sausage. It was so good I wanted to slurp the sauce with the muscle shell, but I restrained myself because I was sharing this meal. Lol. I truly enjoyed this meal. Great with rice. I even took a doggy bag home. I recommend you try this place. I also ordered a side of fries. Cajun fries, that is, and they weren't these little French fries either. They were huge and so hot. I love this because some places give like warm fries. The seasoning is great and not over salted.”

“Thank you Samantha for a nice early dinner tonight 10/7/22 You did a great job considering you could have been issued a bus person to help . Wasn’t thrilled to hear the manager lady reprimand you in the middle of your shift as that can throw anyone off . All in all beautiful young lady giving her all so thank you ?”
“Just oreder a Western bacon cheese burger ? ? ? ?My grandfather knew Carl Karcher and my family used to eat at the original CARL'S in Anaheim, every location besides that one is a JR. There's a Lil fun fact for you ? ?”
“my son and i go here after school often. He's on the spectrum and as soon as he walks in the staff know his order and are so kind and understanding with his behaviors. ❤️”
“Love going to jack in the box Great food and drinks and always amazing beautiful girls”
“Ever single time I go to this McDonald’s there is great service, they don’t make the food cold nor to hot which is great, and the drive thru is also really good they only take around 6 mins. For this they deserve 5 Star.”
“It seems as though going through the drive thru is no longer an option at any fast food establishment. Your order will undoubtedly be wrong and cold. Dining in isn't a good experience, but it's the only way to ensure some degree of food quality. Shameful ”

“I’m ashamed to admit it, but I JUST discovered this location. Out of all 4 (5 now they I know about this, are there more?), this one is by far my favorite. I came middle of the day on a Wednesday, so it wasn’t crowded at all. I loved the massive outdoor space. Seems like it would go off regularly when they have live events.”
“Excellent Coffee and Pastries. I highly recommend the Focaccia Bread.”
“I have been here 2x both have been really good . it's got a different kinda vibe on the food . service is excellent the 2x I visit. I visit again. for sure”

“Nestled in downtown Ventura on Main Street near Palm, Rori’s Artisanal Creamery is a delightful find. Despite its cozy size, the ambiance is inviting, thanks to ample natural light streaming through the large front windows and vibrant decor.The selection here is impressive, boasting seasonal artisanal ice creams and a plethora of toppings to customize your treat. The staff’s hospitality is second to none; they’re knowledgeable about the flavors and ingredients, offering samples to help you find your perfect scoop.I indulged in the honey lavender ice cream, a refreshing delight that struck the perfect balance of flavor without overwhelming the palate. Meanwhile, my niece declared the chocolate ice cream as the best she’s ever tasted—high praise indeed!While prices may lean towards the higher end, the quality and experience make it worth the splurge, especially for special occasions or a leisurely outing in downtown Ventura. Rori’s Artisanal Creamery is a definite must-visit for ice cream aficionados looking for a memorable treat.”
“So yummyyy and softttKid-friendliness: It’s so cute inside.I love how clean the place looks and when you walk in it smells like a icecream shop, it’s so simple too”

They also seem to like to mix it up & create different things on their menu you wouldn't find @ other fast food places.”

“In my top 3 sushi places in ventura (Seaward sushi, Banzai Marina, and now Koba sushi). This restaurant is a smaller place that is cozy and inviting. It's a more traditional sushi restaurant that serves the freshest sushi! The staff was very nice and friendly. The place was spotless and pleasant to be in. And the food was delicious! It is pricey bit worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants quality sushi (and sake)!”
“There was tons of space to sit down. The booths are very comfortable and can fit up to 4 people. The food was outstanding my son enjoyed the hot cocoa.

Definitely coming back.Parking: Many spots to park at, shopping nearby.”

“(Translated by Google) Best tacos al pastor de trompo. Carne azada, suadero and salsas.(Original)Best tacos al pastor de trompo. Carne azada , suadero and salsas.”
“This place is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. I mean, I loved Oscar, the old owner. He is just one of the most amazing people you would ever meet. But he recently let someone else take the business over, so that he could retire and enjoy life. In steps Miguel. This guy is amazing. He's totally changing things up, such as being open on SUNDAYS now, as well as serving breakfast and lunch ALL DAY until 4pm. And he's added some things to their menu, which me and my whole family have been absolutely ADDICTED to lately. Like their breakfast burrito, and their bacon, egg, and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich. SO GOOD! Anyways, just giving my 2¢.”
“Consistently great food and beer. At the former location of Anacapa Brewing, Bellringer has transformed into an instant classic. I was pleasantly surprised with their line of smash burgers and hotdogs. Great use of caramelized onions to really make their food pop in the best way. I have not tried any beers other than the Oktoberfest, but I put it right up there with my favorites. Will probably become a new regular here.”
“I recommend visiting this establishment, although there might be a slight wait and occasional interruptions due to phone calls. The food quality is excellent. Please note Maggie's is a walk-up window ordering restaurant with no outdoor seating available.”
“I was looking for a quick bite to eat and stumbled across this gem. I ordered a carne asada torta and al pastor tacos. The torta was a generous portion and the asada was tasty but my favorite part of the meal was the delicious pastor they cooking up, the meat was tender and juicy and full of flavor. They also have complimentary chips and salsa and other fixings to go with your food. The service was also quick and friendly and the price was great. I’d definitely come back again!”
“Great Night with Good people! Food Truck with Great selection and Live music!”

You can see difference in size of rolls.Love the customer service they are very attentive.Kid-friendliness: Cute bento boxes for the little one's”

We got a few of the hand rolls to try. My fave was the spicy tuna hand roll but they were all tasty. We ordered the wings too. They were spicy but yummy. This place is great for drinks and a couple of finger foods imo. I didn’t have the urge to try their main entrees not sure why. Might come back and I’ll update.”

“Our server was perfect, the food was very good, but I need to give a huge shout out to Liam, the manager on Monday night. He turned an almost terrible situation into a wonderful experience and I hope the owners realize what a gem he is. His attitude, graciousness and problem-solving are a credit to both him and Brophy Bros. Refreshing in today’s restaurant experiences, for sure.”
“I love going to this place. I was new to the area and I felt right at home. They have live bands some days and DJ’s the other ones. The staff members are great. The bouncers keep an eye to make sure it’s not too rowdy or any escalations of fights.”

“Gigi’s Cocktail Lounge offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for unwinding with friends. My recent Thursday evening visit for karaoke was a blast. The lounge features two pool tables, a bar, and indoor/outdoor seating, making it a versatile spot for various preferences.Karaoke nights on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are hosted by a charming older couple, adding a personal touch to the experience. The song selection is decent, and you'll likely recognize some familiar faces among the regulars who frequent the karaoke sessions.When it comes to drinks, Gigi's keeps it simple with no-frills options suitable for a dive bar ambiance. While there are no signature cocktails, the bartenders are friendly, ensuring a pleasant experience. However, the lounge can get crowded during peak hours and holidays, so timing your visit is key.While Gigi's doesn't serve food, patrons can enjoy tacos or burritos from the taco truck outside or bring in outside food, adding to the laid-back vibe.In terms of pricing, drinks are a bit on the higher side for the basic offerings, but the overall ambiance and experience make it worth it. Whether you're there for the karaoke, pool, or simply to unwind with friends, Gigi's Cocktail Lounge offers a welcoming environment for a casual night out.”
“Love this place. It’s n combination with Transmission brewery great beers and toppers pizza and salad we keep going back again and again.Lunch special of small salad and personal pie is well worth the $”
“Had a filet mignon special, it definitely compared to any top ranking steak houses filet I've ever had. Completely melted in my mouth. Atmosphere is great and you can't beat it if your staying at the hotel.”
“I had driven last this place a couple of times before but I stopped by to have a medium pizza with my brothers and the pizza was quite delicious. We had beef sausage and pineapple on our pizza. (I know, I know, pineapple on pizza? I didn't choose the toppings BUT it was actually pretty good!)The place was a bit small but had a comfortable atmosphere and tables large enough to host a small group. One cool thing I saw here that I hadn't seen at other pizza shops was a robot that delivers your pizza to your table. I thought that was a nice touch. Also the marketing and branding for this place is on point!”
“First time customer. I always passed by and wondered about this restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised because from the outside it looks like any other 'fast food'. Just had my miso soup and salad. So far, excellent. Sadly, the price for the dinners (I got 3 items) is more than what these menus state. But, a lot of food, so I was not too slighted by the higher charge. I suggest these Facebook page be brought current.”
“We ended up sitting at the bar doing some happy hour drinks and food. The bartender is very knowledgeable of his products. The food that we ate was very good. Prices for happy hour are not super cheap.”
“Winchester is a great mix of meats with reasonable sides and appetizers. They also have a great drink menu.We stopped back in for an afternoon drink and they had live music, which was an extra treat.”
“Nice to be back!! Fun place!! Need our dancing though!! Sour Apple cider!!!!!!”
“I went to Sbarro on Tuesday July 11, pacific view mall Ventura Ca; I'm a regular customer because I love the pizza that Alberto manager makes; and also the very kind, great and polite customer service by Sarah, she helps me a lot to choose the variety of foods everytime that I go.However yesterday was an other guy in the morning making pizzas and was so awful pizza, it was soggy and doesn't have consistency, the guy had all the displays full of pizza and he was in the phone with his earpods and he knew that many customers were in line and he didnt pay attention to us even our line was in front of him, he didnt care to Help Sarah, she was doing all the job and taking care of all of us the customers. She did awesome job yesterday because she could handle by herself the busy time and offering us a real good customer service even though the place was very busy.The manager should not allow the earpods during the working time specially the guy that was yesterday, he had no absolutely help behaviour to his co-workers and his pizza was horrendous.However I feel grateful with Sarah because she did an incredible job (she took orders, served sides, entries, served drinks and was being cashier at the same time) Sarah and Alberto are the kind of workers that make it worth visit Sbarro.”
“From the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately.The first thing I noticed was how clean the business was.We were seated at a nice booth on the left side of the restaurant.Our waitress was outstanding! The service was fast.She explained the entire menu so well! And their prices are MORE than fair.My group went with a few things.King crab legs with potatoes, corn and sausage.In their house sauce. Which is a spicy Cajun garlic butter.OMG SO GOOD! Crab was cooked perfectly. Potatoes, sauces and corn absolutely perfect. Fresh, tasty filling.We also got the shrimp and clams.Again fresh, cooked to perfection not a single issue.The staff here seemed very professional and courteous to their guests. Always attentive and always helping the guests.I want to write more! But I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves. This place is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you want a seafood boil. There isn't many in the area so this place is definitely the go to.Enjoy!”
“Just had the Volcano, OUTSTANDING!!! Servers were so awesome to me. Every time I eat here I'm amazed out how delicious the food is. Need to try more each time. THANK YOU GUYS!!!”
“It’s always a favorite. Beautiful classy interior and exterior. The best food and drinks are the best.”
“Been awhile since I've had fish and this is surely the best place possible to go. Their menu is amazing with all of the best fish!I had their grilled halibut - wonderful! It melted in my mouth. Great beer selection.Will be back!!”
“I don’t normally take time to write reviews but felt I needed to after all of the hard work the staff visibly put in over the Holidays.I was there when the machines went down and saw that the staff was working hard to take care of every single person in line and keep us informed of the status of things.It was frustrating for the business to have issues the day before Thanksgiving but what was controllable by the staff was being handled with great efficiency and care.I am from out of town and had wanted to pick up a ham on my way to family for Thanksgiving.I had expected that I may encounter a line given it was the day before Thanksgiving but was surprised to see just how long the line was.Because there was a huge line I walked inside to see what was going on and noticed that there were cashiers at every register helping customers. Can’t really complain about a line when every available register is being used.There was a nice lady walking the line, I think her name was Sue, who was doing her best to answer questions and make sure people were in the correct line.When I got to the front of the line I was helped by Christy who was amazing and professional.I appreciate that even though it was busy she noticed I had reserved a quarter ham and explained to me the cost difference between the more expensive quarter hams and the half hams.We were able to get me a much bigger ham for almost the same price I would have paid for the smaller quarter ham. So I now have leftovers I can look forward to in my freezer.I have read some of the reviews and understand people’s frustration about glaze issues ( given there was an issue with the machine and the staff was very transparent about what was going on and the work they were doing to get it fixed) but I don’t understand posting a poor review without giving the business a chance to rectify the situation.While I feel corporate could do a much better job ensuring the stores have enough room to care for their holiday traffic ( that store seems way to small to handle that kind of holiday traffic), I feel like the manager did a great job ensuring the workers in the store were doing what they could to keep things going and get people cared for.We will come back for sure.”
“The food is delicious and Vivian is a special friend. It’s always good to go there!”
“Great and friendly costumer service. The store was busy with costumers. We had the pleasure of having the manager Tati, take our order all while still helping her staff. Would definitely go again.”
“This is our FAV spot in Ventura. Super chill vibe with kool folks hanging out...Bartender Gabby is so Awesome and pours a great drink ?...... looking forward to heading back there soon.....Will add pics on next ”
“What a wonderful find on Seward Avenue in Ventura. If you want the real deal Italian cuisine, this is your place. Our fabulous waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and fantastic at explaining everything. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure.”
“They have best Brussel sprouts in Ventura and we try a lot of brussels sprouts. Their margaritas are excellent as well especially the cucumber jalapeño Margie.”
“My son's favorite Mexican restaurant, Limon y Sal. He and his wife have been here dozens of times. My favorite is Dragans, directly across the street from Limon y Sal, the best Irish food in Ventura County.”
“We found Da Hickory House BBQ by searching Google for BBQ near me. While there are BBQ places in Ventura (No good ones in Ojai where we live), there really isn'ta great one that we've found, so we went here just to check it out and have eaten there twice so far.Food: The food is awesome! Ribs, tri-tip, hot links, beans, etc. BBQ not necessarily smoked BBQ which is fine with us.Price: Now that everything is expensive it's hard to say. We (2 people) pay around $50 for 2 rib plates with 2 hot links added, and cokes. Plenty of food. Both times we got to-go boxes.Atmosphere: Small, dimly lit, quiet, can be cold. It's was empty when we've went except for people there for take out.Service: Good service. A young man took our order and brought out our food. He was very polite and accommodating.I would hate to see this place close so go there and give it a chance!”
“Split a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with one other person- cost very reasonable- $16 for sandwich + one drink...it tasted good and was filling. Atmosphere at the mall was nice- lots of families around.”
“Great beer and what is probably my number two favorite Smashburger at a brewery. Trust me when I tell you it’s a high watermark. Staff is friendly and very helpful.”
“Clean and great bar !! Breakfast was delicious”
“Always a treat when I'm in that part of Ventura. I had some corn burritos & a Carne asada burrito and they were excellent as always! The owner is super friendly. He says they've been there 50 years now! I love supporting small businesses like this one. I'll definitely be back again, hopefully they're still hanging on.”
“Lovely harbor view. The interior appears to have been updated recently. Nice. Got some happy hour appetizers. And a well drink that, for some reason, wasn't charged happy hour price. Didn't notice until later. Frown. It was a strong drink. Woot.Parking: Parking right next to the restaurant must be used by other businesses because it was close to full even though the restaurant had just opened when we arrived and we were the only customers for a bit.”
“Margarita Villa is a great place to get some good food and good drinks right in the harbor. The outside rooftop area is awesome, sometimes they have live music or a DJ. Great views and awesome atmosphere.”
“Campfire Feast $69. Magnificent service & exceptional food.Parking: Special lot to left of building just for them 40+ spotsWheelchair accessibility: Ramps into building & inside also”

“When Ventura first opened up my wife and I ordered meals to go unfortunately things were a little shaky at the time and the meals were short certain items and some things were correct. After calling Ventura and talking to the manager they agreed that next time we come in the meals would be on them. Well as time goes along some things get lost and today the wife found the receipt and called up the restaurant and talk to the manager his name is Nicholas. Well he did a great job he not only provided the meals for us but he was Very very cordial about it and thoroughly understanding he did a great job he made a lifetime customer with my wife and I and I appreciate his hard work and the good food that comes out of this restaurant thank you”

“Food is great and best sunsets over the ocean”
“Absolutely wonderful. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nothing was too sweet.The lovely lady at the counter happily walked me through the day’s selection. She said it changed every day. Everything looked incredible, it was hard to choose. We ended up with a raspberry and chocolate twist, a pineapple strudel, a croissant breakfast sandwich, a mocha and a cold brew.The twist and the strudel were perfectly fruity, flaky and soft. The sandwich was freshly made with ham, eggs and cheese. The pistachio croissant was heavenly. Perfectly crusty and flaky, a light pistachio pastry cream in the center, covered in crushed pistachios and sugar, without being overly sweet.Cannot wait to come back and try more.”

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.”
