Angie Alicia Hernandez Excellent tasty food, delicious wide range of beers and cocktails. Spacious seating, gorgeous patio and amazing customer service. I will most definitely be back.

Debra Knowles-Hill We had a wonderful brunch with great food and excellent service. Manny was attentive to our orders and even brought out a Free Ice Cream Sundae for my brothers Birthday celebration. Great experience!

Kenneth Martinson We loved this place! Delicious flavors that were on par with the best Cajun Restaurants in New Orleans. The atmosphere even reminded me of the New Orleans a bit too. I got the shrimp and grits andouille- the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked, and it went well with the soft scrambled eggs I chose with it. The Beignets I wasnt crazy about, but our main dishes more than made up for it. I look forward to trying the other dishes here!

Mike S First time I had a pastor burrito and it was awesome, full of flavor and the hot sauce is great, Second time I had the chilaquiles and red sauce and it was super good, the spice is awesome. Coffee is great also.

Dustin Coffey For a cozy place to eat out with children, or just get a filling meal, Stonefire Grill is great. The customer service has always been excellent, and the food is very satisfying for a family-style restaurant at their price point. Ive been here four times, and each time has been a hit. Please keep up the great work.

Angelique Suddock Always a fun time! Great food, service and music! The new owners (2025) have really improved the restaurant. The new chef created AMAZING food and there are always delicious food and dessert specials! The live bands are fun and there is now a jukebox.

Tanaya Ghosh Really enjoyed our visit here. The food was very good and the staff were kind and polite. We even got two complimentary appetizers and two complimentary desserts, which was a nice surprise. We tried the Punjabi biryani—it tasted really good and was full of flavor. The garlic chicken naan was awesome, soft and very tasty. Overall, great food and great service. Would definitely recommend this place!

Ken I thought the food is good. I took mine to go so but while I was waiting the staff was real nice. I took my food home to eat. It was good but I did add seasoning to the vegetables. Not a lot but enough to give it flavor. The steak was perfect and bake potato was so good. The chicken soup was on point.

Anastasia Alexander 6 of us dined here on Dec 24th. The Prix Fixe menu was excellent with a wide variety of choices. Food was also excellent but what stood out was the service. Clark, our server, was 5 Star all the way. Knowledgeable, courteous, professional, prompt, friendly and fun! For the meal we had plus a bottle of Justin, the price was quite reasonable. Highly recommend!

Joseph Condé A teacher recommended this restaurant inside the hotel. The food is gourmet and the service is top notch. The waiters are very friendly and generous.

Emma Klein I’m so happy to see pinyon in Ventura! I’ve eaten at the Ojai one before and this one is a bit different but just as amazing. Food is delicious! Especially the cheese and jam share plate! Service was so great.

Heather Ellison Ventura’s best kept secret! We live in the neighborhood and love the food here. We get it for takeout often to eat at home with the kids and the food is always perfectly cooked and seasoned. I get the chicken limon and it is delicious, it tastes like a home cooked meal. My husband loves the lasagna, the calamari is so good & the kids love the pizza. So spasso is always a win for us!

Meng Qi Our dinner at Lure last night was the perfect highlight to a deliberate detour. We’re on a road trip to Los Angeles, but purposefully chose Ventura as a mid-point stop to visit Patagonia’s headquarters. My partner, a graduate student at UCB, is researching a capstone project on Patagonia’s business philosophy. For us, this visit is about more than research, and it’s about physically connecting with the city and the ethos that Patagonia embodies. A huge shout-out to the team at Lure! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food was excellent, the ambiance was perfect, and the service was outstanding. Highlights: The weekday happy hour (3 PM–6 PM) is a true gem. Standouts include the amazing charbroiled oysters ($8 for three) and the delicious crab cakes served with greens. Don’t miss the chowder. Its an absolute must-order at just $3. I’ve attached the menu for reference. Overall, it’s a fantastic offering of great food at an affordable price. Service & Atmosphere: The staff was wonderfully welcoming and efficient. Our food arrived incredibly quickly, with virtually no wait. As someone who often gets nervous ordering and tends to mispronounce things, I especially appreciated our waitresss patience and kindness as she helped confirm my order. Another highlight is the space itself. The decor strikes a perfect balance between modern and cozy, with comfortable bar seating. It was lovely to see several solo diners there, genuinely enjoying their meals. My experience at Lure was truly memorable. I feel lucky to have dined there, and it certainly made Ventura feel all the more likable. I can’t recommend it enough.

Akiko Pealatere This seafood restaurant was absolutely delicious! The clam chowder was creamy and flavorful, the fish and chips were perfectly crispy, and the beer paired really well with everything. I also ordered calamari — it was tender and cooked just right. The complimentary bread was also very tasty. Next time, I’d love to call ahead and reserve a table with a harbor view!

Grant Leichtfuss I’ve been a few times and it is always great. If you’re looking for flavor packed, elevated Mexican in Ventura, try Mother’s Tacos. On my most recent visit, I had the new Milanesa Torta sandwich. My god was that sandwich incredible. I’ve also had the chips, guacamole and salsa, several tacos, beans and rice. All A+ so far. Best elevated Mexican restaurant in Ventura County!
