Juniper and Ivy - (Near San Diego, CA)

Justin K Great service. Atmosphere is lively. It was completely packed by the time we left at 8pm. Reservation is recommended. Even the bar seats were filled - so it may be hard for a walk-in. The portion size was in the smaller end. We ordered about 2 appetizers, 2 smaller, 2 veggies and 2 platters. The whole chicken did the job of filling us up - could have had more spices. It was a little bland. However, the other smaller dishes were great.

Jeremy Weiner We hosted a large event here last night and could not have been happier. Jaime and Marlon, the managers, ran everything flawlessly. Their staff is incredibly well trained and handled a very challenging group with ease. We had 170 people, including about 100 thirteen year olds, which is not easy for any restaurant to manage. They were perfect from start to finish. The food, service, and overall hospitality were outstanding. Truly impressed and very grateful. Highly recommend.

Miss HD Cozy chic resturant located in the downtown area of Ventura. Ambiance is inviting. The outdoor patio area has the best seats. Theres plenty of dish selections to choose from (seafood, steaks, salads, etc). Menu was nicely sectioned. Although theres plenty of dish options menu doeent look over whelming. Food was savory and delicious!! Service was exceptional! Waittess was sweet and accomondating. One of the best dining experience. Will definitely be back again.

Liza Thomas If you’re looking to book an event for a group of 25 or less, this is your spot. Erica was our host. She took care of all the details. She was consistent with her communication and went above and beyond to make our day special. The entire restaurant staff were so welcoming and helpful. Shoutout to Brie our wonderful bartender. The food is absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and made with the freshest ingredients. We had the best time. Thank you to all of the Monkey Cat team for making our family celebration a wonderful experience.

Ernest Lopez Well this is my 2nd Michelin rated restaurant and it was absolutely delicious. First of all the food menu is very nice with me being from the Southwest and spending time by the Mexico Border. The mezcal and tequila menu left me feeling extremely content but sad that I could not possibly ever try them all. I selected a still strength Fortaleza and boy let me tell you. I am now officially a fan of Blanco Tequila!! Well Still strength at least. The Chapolines……hahahaha when I see something like this in a menu I have to try it. I got my entire table to eat them……the chile lime flavor from a grasshopper is pretty unique and a memorable Moment I will have forever. My wife and I were merely in the area only for one evening and we walked into a slice of Home away from home and Heaven at the same time. The service was perfect…..duh they have the Michelin sign out front;) the atmosphere was perfect. If I am ever in the area again I will most definitely be going back to try more tequilas……one shot at a time, save the salt for someone else ;) oh and the chocolate drink at the night for night cap was absolutely delicious and reminded me of hot coco that my grandmother would make for me.

Michael Preiss A Hidden Gem with a Breathtaking View This restaurant is an absolute must-visit — not only for the food, but especially for the stunning rooftop-like setting. The view is nothing short of spectacular, offering a grand and unforgettable panorama that alone makes the visit worthwhile. The food is outstanding, clearly crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. While the prices are on the higher side, the culinary experience more than justifies the cost. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior design is beautiful, stylish, and perfectly complements the elevated dining experience. Highly recommended for a special evening or anyone looking to enjoy excellent food in an extraordinary setting.
