    These are examples of the horrible food that was served to us this past Saturday night at Denny's in Ventura on ashwood and telegraph
    Roy M.

    The customer service was very good. Server was very attentive with a great attitude.... The cook on the other hand was horrible. Food was under cooked. Had excessive amounts of water in our food... The lady making the food should be put on dishes. She was very rude and disrespectful yelling at the server. Very disappointed with the quality of the food...

    GETTING HERE: This is the old Coco's on Telegraph and Ashwood in Ventura. Parking is best accessed off Telegraph IMO. Pass the corner gas station on the corner (if you're heading West) and then turn on in. REVIEW: OK. Where do I begin? This was a good enough eating experience with their food, but their service today equates to one word: yikes. It's an OK vibe with the diner vibes. Was pretty clean and not too busy even with the lunch crowd. But there was only one (1) server visible for the entire restaurant. The entire place! She was running and running hard. Doing her best, which was nice and she was hustling hard. Food was good. My guest loved their hash browns. Loved! The eggs were a tad runny for me, but over all it was tasty food. Server disappeared (literally) right after we asked for our check. We waited and waited and waited at the entrance. Finally an older lady appeared and rung us up. She was having a rough day herself, and it showed. Sadly. Left a bad taste for my guest and I as she didn't speak ONE WORD to us. No "thank you." Not even "hi". Nothing. As we walked away I yelled rather loudly to her, "THANK YOU" because her lack of acknowledgement of us as PAYING CUSTOMERS really kind of ticked me off. She chirped right up and thanked us. I told her I hope her day gets better. She said, "Me too." Hmm. Really? Not a plus for me. I'm sorry you're obviously short-staffed but I don't need to know your woes ma'am. I came here for a respite. 2.5 star experience rounded up to 3. I guess I'm meh on the recommendation or not. Maybe you'll get here on a better day.

    Fried Fish Platter

    We've been waiting almost an hour to get my plate. Came after work to this. It wasn't even packed. I think the fish is swimming away from them. The waiter was sweet.

    Okay, this is one of the cleanest Denny's locations I've ever been to! Normally, the Denny's locations I've gone to are dirty and give you a sketchy feeling, but this wasn't the case for this location. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately! Our waiter was friendly and very tentative! I got the strawberry stuffed French toast slam and my husband got the French toast slam! We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Very tasty and affordable. This is now our go-to Denny's location.

    I'm not one to usually leave reviews on major chain restaurants as i figured most people have been to them and know what to expect BUT this location simply has the best service and quick consistent food and service that I figured they needed a special kudos. This Dennys is a little ways from the freeway which is why I believe it's always less crowded then your typical Dennys. Don't get me wrong they do major business but thankfully I've never had to wait here even when coming at rush hours. That's why I really love this Dennys because it's easy in and out. The food is no frills classic Dennys, nothing I could tell you that you wouldn't already know. So I'll focus on service. I dined here this morning on 10/2/22 around 10am and I was so beyond impressed with the staff and overall flow of this restaurant. I nerd out on a well managed team given my early years in the food industry so forgive me. "Those who get it, get it, those who don't, don't." The restaurant was well stocked with staff to accommodate the morning rush. Everyone working was all smiles and super helpful. They had two gentlemen behind the counters cashing out orders, what looked to be a full kitchen, plenty of servers, and the efficient manager gal helping out. Here's what I loved: 1. I saw staff constantly sanitizing their hands behind the counter and keeping a clean workspace. 2. The manager was constantly praising her staff and saying "good job guys" and keeping the pace/standards. It was so refreshing to hear someone leading their staff and creating a positive praising work environment. Working in the food industry is hard and definitely staff at chains don't get enough credit but I was so pleased with the good vibes this morning. Sorry for the rant but I felt todays experience (and my past experiences here) warranted a good review as I'd come to this location above most others.

    Salmon Salad Your Way
    Melissa B.

    Good for a Dennys ! The staff was friendly and attentive and the place was clean. Tesla chargers brought me here so I figured why not grab breakfast while we wait for a charge. The new sweet cream cold brew is just as good as Starbucks (don't come for me). My teens had pancakes, eggs and sausage and also a steak like melt with onion rings. Large portions and a lot of care went into the preparation, as it was not sloppy. I had the salmon salad, the salmon may have been over seasoned but a little spice in your life isn't terrible lol. Karen B was my server and she was great ! They also offer a military discount :)

Parking: Paid lot, $1/hour for a max of 4 hours and then I think it was $10 for the day. Scan the QR code in the parking lot and pay on your phone. Seating: They have 2 patios (front and back) which are both dog friendly. We sat on the front patio which is fully enclosed and had the host not referred to it as a patio, I would have assumed it was just part of the indoor restaurant at a glance. Dog Friendly: My biggest gripe with this place and the reason I will not return is while they allow dogs, they require them to be stuck under the table, against the wall. Basically out of sight like some kind of vampire gremlin that can't see the sun. Their tables are not set up to have a whole dog underneath, especially if you have 2 or more people at the table. There is not enough room for feet, the dog, dog's water, and dog's food. What made this even more annoying is, 1) it wasn't busy on the front patio at all, and 2) the table diagonal from us had a toddler rolling around on the floor in the center of the walkway. Service: The host was very nice and friendly. Our server was polite but seemed to have the personality of a napkin. He hovered for the drink order, quickly returned for a food order, and right after ordering an appetizer, immediately returned to see if we wanted anything else. Already annoyed with the dog situation, I told him no (which was not the original plan). He snatched up the menus and couldn't be found until he brought the check. Food: I had the $20 medium crab dip appetizer which was okay, nothing memorable but nothing bad. The star was my dog's Surf N Turf dish with angus beef, wild cod, rice, and veggies for $13. I thought the price for hers was reasonable based on the quantity. They had several other options on the dog menu as well. One other thing to note, they call their fries "freedom fries" - maybe another reason not to return, if I needed one.

In Ventura's industrial area, the Cave is a nice, cozy restaurant that is hidden in the Ventura Wine Company shop. We were greeted by live music which made a lively atmosphere. They have the self vending wine machine with a decent variety of wines for all. I'm going to be honest - I did question the pour size. We ended up buying a bottle of wine at dinner instead and I'm pretty sure that was the economical choice plus it gave me peace of mind. I will say - the plating of the food is strange. Giant plates for small portions never really sits well with me. The kitchen's "thinly sliced" waygu steak was also off putting visually. The Jumbo Scallops w/Leek & Truffle Risotto ($46) is a must order. Scallops perfectly pan seared and that risotto I would eat by itself. The Lemon Chardonnay sauce was incredible. The Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs ($39) was okay. The meat fell apart as it should. The red wine sauce was okay but lacked depth. The creamy mashed potatoes were very good and seasoned perfectly. Wasn't mad that I tried it but would not order again. Wagyu Top Sirloin 12 oz. ($48) was very good despite the poor slicing. The creamy mushroom sauce was perfect to add some flavor but not overpower the protein. The Pepperoni Pizza ($18) was decent for my son. My daughter planned to order the Seafood Pasta until she saw all of her favorite things combined: Mac and cheese, bacon and pizza - the Mac and Cheese Pizza ($21) was honestly top notch. It wasn't overly heavy, the depth of flavor was great and it's extremely tasty. The spicy aioli was top notch. Overall, a good experience at the Cave. I recommend giving it a try.
