Immigrant Son Caffe 543 E Main St, Ventura American • $$

“I had a another great experience at Immigrant Son! Cortni was incredibly informative and engaging--she really listened to what I wanted and offered some great suggestions. I mentioned I was looking for something keto-friendly and protein-packed, and she recommended a side of chicken and a side of avocado. Simple, healthy, and surprisingly delicious! To top it off, I treated myself to their strawberry sourdough scone--absolutely amazing, especially paired with a good cup of coffee! Ronan, the manager, was exceptional as well. The positive energy in this place is always contagious--it's the kind of vibe that makes you want to come back. Great people, great food, great atmosphere!”

Barrel 33 1067 E Thompson Blvd, Ventura French • $$

“Exceptional service, incredible food, cozy and nestled environment and KID FREE (21+ only). We ordered the garlic bread to start (definitely a nice bite to hold you over for the main dishes, if you don't want anything too filling). For dinner, we ordered pasta which is clearly made with all the heavenly cheeses. If you're a chocolate lover, the dessert is for YOU! Forgot what it was called, but it was like a chocolate cake with ganache and more chocolate and I cannot explain how delicious it was. It's not some milk chocolate cake, so don't be fooled by all the chocolate. Cannot wait to return here and enjoy another wonderful dinner!”

“Channel Islands Juice in Ventura is a fantastic spot for high-quality (though not freshly made) juices and healthy bites. The chia pudding was absolutely incredible—hands down one of the best I’ve ever had, with the perfect texture and flavor. On the other hand, the Power Up smoothie was a bit underwhelming, lacking the bold taste I was expecting (I added coffee to it). That said, the overall experience was great, with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff - Kai especially- who clearly care about what they do. If you’re in Ventura and looking for a nourishing, delicious option, this place is definitely worth a visit!”

“Amazing Lunch Experience at Lucky Thai with beautiful view of Pacific Ocean

I had the pleasure of enjoying the lunch special at Lucky Thai, and it was absolutely fantastic!

The Spicy Basil Chicken was bursting with flavor—tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and the perfect level of heat from fresh Thai chilies. Every bite was a delightful balance of savory and spicy with fragrant basil shining through.

The Drunken Noodles with Shrimp were phenomenal! The wide rice noodles were perfectly cooked, soaking up the rich, garlicky sauce, and the shrimp were plump, fresh, and flavorful.

The meal started with a comforting bowl of Egg Drop Soup, silky and rich with just the right texture. The accompanying Thai Salad was light and refreshing, with crisp vegetables and a tasty, tangy dressing.

The portions were generous, the flavors authentic, and the service warm and friendly. Lucky Thai has truly earned its place as my go-to spot for Thai cuisine.

Highly recommend this spot—I’ll definitely be back soon!”

This is a place dedicated to SLOW FOOD. Allow at least 1 hour for lunch, at least 1.5 hours if you are having a dessert.

Food was extremely well prepared and you can taste the difference in quality and careful preparation. BTW, the crab cakes are the more spiced variety.

While price will prevent me from coming back too often, I do hope to return here soon. Recommend trying this spot if you haven’t and you’re in the area.

“At the time of this review, this place is 5.0… it might be underrated.

I was in town and in search of my cookie fix. Much to my surprise and immense delight, I stumbled upon this gem. The cookies to the emerald plum bar. Pure craft. From the flour selection to the Aji Amarillo chili butter. If you know you know.

How lucky am I to have discovered this Clemente Bakery!? It’s only a matter of time before they get their James Beard award.

Update: the blueberry oatmeal pistachio cookie is out of this world good. Each bite tastes a cloud of butter vanilla deliciousness. Also it wasn’t super rich and didn’t leave me feeling bloated afterward. So so good”

While price will prevent me from coming back too often, I do hope to return here soon. Recommend trying this spot if you haven’t and you’re in the area.

I replied and said sorry I didn't call them by the right name, I want two of the side salads. Evelin not only used a sarcastic tone of voice but also rolled her eyes at me. We continued our order and paid leaving her no tip. Evidentially she wasn't smart enough to put two and two together that I wanted two of the smaller sized salads. Rude for absolutely no reason other than to be rude. Even the co-worker on the next register over noticed her attitude towards me.”

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.”

The staff were helpful, friendly and professional. The owner, Rogillio even came over at the end to chat. What a nice man. Funny, friendly; really sealed the deal to make me want to come back. With 700 or more tequilas, we were able to order flights of several reposado tequilas to try. It was amazing. I wish they had a tequila sommelier on staff to walk us through each glass. That would make for the cherry on top! Nonetheless, my friends and I googled each one and performed our own tasting experience. The food was amazing! Chips, salsa, guacamole, ceviche, and best of all their chimichanga! I'll definitely be back for more. 7 tequilas down, 693 to go.”

“Impressive customer service, while our waiter was busy w/other tables (which is understandable and totally fine) there is a busy bus boy buzzing around with water, clearing off plates and bringing extras people are asking for. Our waiter came and took our drink order. Malbec for me… so good, I had to ask what it was: Öko 🤤 and my husband ordered a smash berry something. THAT was SO BOMB! A hint of mint and full flavor of berries bursting bar god deliciousness! We ordered the butter board, now the presentation could use some work… I’m more about flavor and that butter (two options) was finger lickin good. The waiter took a few minutes to chat and told us it was pineapple butter. 🤯 it’s served with small pieces of… maybe focaccia bread (which btw alone was so good too). Meanwhile, the manager has his eye on everything. He saw the moment we put down our menus, and was there to ask is we has any questions. I did: there’s no house salad on the menu & he accommodated my request for one, which was a deciding factor for my main course. The SoCal Bolognese was bursting with flavor. This is new to the menu, we’ve been a few times… my husband is a fan, I was never impressed… until last night. The chorizo was spicy, but not overpowering, pasta cooked perfectly. The house salad could’ve used more tomatoes, but I really can’t complain since it’s not on the menu to begin with. My husband ordered the ahi steak on top of green beans and he said it was really good. It looked amazing, but I was in heaven with the butter board & the bolognese, my palate couldn’t handle the flavor overload 😜 After about 6 visits, I finally found something worth writing home about. For sure putting this place back into rotation. And the prices… very reasonable. Might be coming here a lot more. Everyone was super nice and helpful.”

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.”

“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.”

“I thought the Clam Chowder and the Calamari and the cocktail were really good, I do have a beef with how expensive the tacos are for only two tacos. They're good but not that good. It's more like $20-30 per person. Ambience is great though. That sun feels so good. Plenty of places to sit outside.”
