    Butternut Squash Ravioli. Is this seaweed??? Gross
    April F.

    Ate 3 meals here while staying at the Sheraton. Breakfast is better than dinner. Since their specialty is a huge brunch I guess this makes sense, but the dinner was so gross I don't think I'd come back to try their brunch. I had the butternut squash stuffed ravioli with broccolini pesto. Ravioli was just ok. But that pesto was so stringy and gooey, I thought they'd gone out in the harbor and harvested actual kelp. Nasty. Nasty looking, tasting, and my tummy hurt later. Our waiter for dinner seemed poorly trained. He brought me a breakfast menu for dinner. I asked for plastic cups for water and juice for my 4 year old and he brought them filled to the brim with no lids or straws. The breakfast staff is way friendlier and attentive. I like this Sheraton when visiting Ventura, but I don't recommend this restaurant unless it's just to grab a quick and easy breakfast.

    After reading the reviews we made reservations this morning and when we arrived nobody at the hostess Booth. We waited maybe 5 minutes then the hostess returned. She greeted us with a smile & questioned if we had a reservations. We informed we did then offered the option inside or outside seating. We choose outside. Beautiful morning. We choose the Sunday brunch. Excellent service. Our drinks never were dry. Wide variety of food selection for the Sunday brunch. Fresh and hot. Highly recommend Sunday brunch

    We came here for the first time to give it a try. We were greeted at the desk in the most unfriendly manor. The dining area was 75% empty and when we were asked if we had a reservation and we said no she then showed us a list of people on her clip board who did make a reservation . How about "have you ever been here before? "Welcome we are happy to have you" The food was okay not bad not great. The service was below average. We are now leaving and the dining area is still 75% empty... I don't think a reservation is necessary unless you want a friendly greeting

    Every once in a while I like to come here for their all-you-can-eat Sunday Brunch Buffet. The first time I came here was several years ago and I feel like the quality of the buffet has gone down since then, but that seems to be like most things with this economy. Alexander's Sunday brunch buffet includes cheap champagne and/or mimosas, which I did not try but my girlfriend enjoyed well enough. It starts at 10AM and goes until... I think 2PM every Sunday. They have breakfast foods as well as lunch type foods. They have an omelet station where a guy can make you a tasty omelet with whatever you want inside (from the decent selection of choices in front of the station). They have a bananas foster station as well as having seafood (yesterday it included snow crab legs and oysters on the half shell as well as cold shrimp), bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, pork, rice medley etc. In the side room they have breads, croissants, bagels, toast, danishes, fruit, cold salads, cubed cheese and desserts. They have a whole large table filled with desserts, which is my favorite part. Varieties of cakes, pies and/or cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries and small 2-bite cakes and pastries are included, but I recommend you get your desserts early unless you're not picky - I don't see them restock the desserts through the morning so once something is gone it's probably gone until next time. Outside on the patio were hot-trays of tri-tip, chicken and pork BBQ as well as beans and corn on the cob. The guy at the omelet station had a big ham and some tri-tip he was slicing for diners as well. I enjoyed my food and the service was reasonable. At some point the staff stopped coming by our table (after we had paid) but we were still eating and talking so I had to flag someone down to get a refill on my soda. After that, they checked in on us frequently, which was nice, but also made us feel like they wanted us to leave. My friend and I ate and gabbed for about three hours, and I wasn't hungry the entire rest of the day. I was very satisfied and if I was willing to eat without restraint every Sunday I would come here far more often!

    On our anniversary weekend we were looking for a good steakhouse and were coming up short. We arrived shortly before 7pm on a Saturday evening and we were the only people in the restaurant which concerned me. The waiter was very attentive. My steak was tender and flavorful and my husband's salmon was good. The vegetables consisting of carrots, squash and zucchini were very good. By the time we left there were 4 other couples dining. We both had the apple tart that was delicious being accompanied by caramel sauce. Not the dining experience I would have expected but we didn't have any complaints.

This time we had a party of 10, which I know can be a little challenging for any restaurant. The service was still great. Everyone was super friendly and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. I also love that they offer 3-course meal options--it makes ordering easy and quick. For starters, I ordered the stuffed mushrooms with shrimp and the sweet corn chowder. The stuffed mushrooms were incredible, packed with flavor in every bite. The soup didn't disappoint either, and the bread they serve with melted cheese on top was so good. For my main course, I had the filet mignon with truffle pasta. It was good, but a little dry--I wish it had been more juicy. My boyfriend got the ribeye with lobster, and unfortunately that one wasn't our favorite. Everything tasted a bit overcooked. I'm thinking it may have been because of the large party, since our previous visit was much better. Overall, I'd definitely come back--but probably for a date night instead of a big group. The inside is beautiful, quiet, and dimly lit, which makes it perfect for a cute romantic dinner.
