    Lounge/meeting area

    This location outdid themselves from our previous visit. We were a party of fourteen over the holidays. No reservations are taken, so we arrived at 9 on a Sunday, and they set up tables for us in the back annex area where there is also a small meeting space. We were all happy since we had 4 toddlers that they accommodated with kids' menus that have games on the backside-crayon provided, plus baby seats. Everyone in the nice main dining area appreciated that we were off on our own because we are a boisterous bunch. Service was helpful, accommodating and friendly. They provided us their holiday menu complete with cute Rudolph pancakes. I had fresh fruit along with perfect pancakes, my husband had their cheesy egg scramble. One family member had a tasty looking chicken salad. All the kids ate more than they normally do, so it was a big hit for everybody.

    Www.dennys.com imw Denny's at your ashwood and telegraph location in Ventura California and unfortunately it was bad enough that it deserves attention from corporate instead of just being brushed off as one of those nights the overall atmosphere ing Nicki Nicki Nicki no good there seem to be a complete lack of urgency communication and professionalism orders were delayed interactions felt dismissive and the overall environment gave the impression that nobody was managing the situation or taking pride in the establishment late night customers still deserve decent service especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a dependable all hours diner people go to Denny's because they expect consistency not perfection just consistency service and staff that act like they want to be there at least a little bit this visiting it because this location has the potential to be better but somebody needs to tighten up the late night operation before more customers walk out frustrated and decide not to come back please look into the management and staffing situation during the late night shifts at this location ... The food and service were completely unexeptable... The food was burnt and no worth feeding to my dog...

    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.

    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.

Outside covered patio seating here too. We parked in a free lot, across the street and behind other businesses.

They recently got renovated so the restseraunt is really nice and modern. My service here each time has been good. This last time I grabbed an order of calamari and a beef crunchy taco and they both were INCREDIBLE. The calamari was cooked to perfection and such a large order. The beef taco was incredibley flavorful and probably the best beef tacos I've had in Ventura county. Overall the food here is very tastey so come on down here and give them a try.

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.

Save yourself the headache and eat somewhere else. -- We were told our wait would be approximately 15 minutes. It ended up being closer to 30. Once seated, things got even worse. We sat for roughly 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging our table and had to flag down two separate employees before we were assigned a server. Despite arriving over an hour before I needed to leave for a scheduled appointment, our food didn't arrive until approximately 11:35 AM. Spending over an hour at breakfast for a simple meal is unreasonable, especially at a resort restaurant where guests often have reservations and activities planned. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the wait. The chicken sausage arrived room temperature, and my pancakes were raw in the middle. Not undercooked--raw. After waiting over an hour for breakfast, receiving food that wasn't properly prepared was incredibly disappointing. As if that weren't enough, the restaurant somehow managed to charge our credit card twice while also posting the charge to our room. Resolving the error became an ordeal of phone calls, receipt photos, waiting for managers, and multiple follow-ups. What should have been a simple correction ended up taking a significant amount of our vacation time. The most frustrating part wasn't even the mistakes themselves--it was the lack of urgency in fixing them. Nobody seemed particularly concerned that guests were waiting excessive amounts of time, receiving improperly prepared food, or dealing with billing errors.
