    Avocado egg rolls
    Jennifer M.

    We can here when it first Opened at this location and were disappointed. We decided to come back last weekend and they had many more employees, the food and drinks came fast and they were really friendly. Avocado egg rolls were super good because of the cilantro! Will be back.

    Don't worry be Hoppy! Great craft beer selection

    Stopped in at Finney's this evening for dinner. What a great place with a bright and lively ambiance. Sierra was our fantastic server. Sierra was professional, kind and efficient. We ordered drinks and the avocado egg rolls as an appetizer. Yummy. We decided to try the margarita flatbread and added chicken. Another fantastic choice. Good times, good food and service. Highly recommended.

    A fun atmosphere for beers, and cocktails . We went here the other day just for drinks. We didn't have any food. They have a really nice espresso martini. Also they have some featured ones as well.

    Always the best food and service and great vibes! They always have different things to try.

    Double Stack Smash Burger
    J F.

    Our menu choices sounded great and they were presented nicely. However, the burger was well-done when ordered medium-rare. It was flavorless and dry. My prime rib Philly steak sandwich was dry & the grilled meat was crispy and crumbly. It was not even close to a true steak sandwich. The fish tacos & the other sandwich ordered were palatable. The only positives about the food were the sides...the onion ring, fries, potato & tortilla chips were good. Our server was basically attentive. It was awfully noisy inside, making it difficult to have conversations. I'm sorry to say, Finney's is NOT the restaurant to patronize IF you want a good meal!

    Garlic Parmesan boneless wings
    Emily L.

    I had a great time at Finney's. We came in the evening and waited nearly an hour for a table for two. However, the lively and upbeat atmosphere made the wait slightly more bearable. Once seated, our waitress greeted us right away. She was friendly and provided excellent service. I ordered the boneless Parmesan wings and absolutely loved them. Definitely something I'd get again. My friend had the Finney Burger and devoured it in minutes. I'm deducting one star only because of the long wait, they need more seating!

    Finney's Burger and onion rings
    Cheryl R.

    This is a lively restaurant near the Camarillo Premium Outlets. I ordered the new chicken lettuce wraps. They were overly seasoned with too much sauce which made it very messy. The lettuce did not hold up and I requested more lettuce to help. We anticipated the burger being more successful, but it was bland. The onion rings were also disappointing. They were in a sweet batter that reminded me of a corn dog. Not a fan.

    Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque
    Aubrey H.

    Came for dinner and was reasonably busy, didn't have to wait too long to be seated which was nice. Our server was friendly and got around to us pretty quickly. I ordered the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque (pictured). It was either really good or I was just really hungry . The cheese was nice & melty which paired nicely with the bisque when I dunked the grilled cheese in it. My husband had the California Cobb and the salad looked appealing. However, there was very little dressing and my husband felt it wasn't that great. Overall, Finney's was good and would do in a pinch.

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup
    Lou H.

    I'm only giving this place 2 stars because my wife likes the grilled cheese and tomato soup. As for my son and I, we weren't fans of this place at all. I ordered a cob salad, which was a hearty serving of chicken, atop a huge salad. However that's where the positive ends. The salad was dry, even when asking for an additional salad dressing which was runny, it just wasn't good from start to finish. The chicken tasted burnt and lettuce tasted old. My kid didn't even like the fries which come with an oddly spicy ketchup. Perhaps I should've gone with my gut and ordered a burger, those looked much better, but BJ's has much better salads than this place. It's a sports bar type atmosphere and we were sat at a high top, which had my back hurting shortly into the meal. Not very comfortable seating, noisy, dark, and not some place I'd want to return to. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

    Margarita flight
    Delta C.

    One of my favorite spots in Camarillo. The food never disappoints especially the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and the carnitas nachos, which are so good. The service is always top-notch, and the bartenders are friendly and consistently deliver great drinks. It's a fantastic family-friendly restaurant and also a perfect place for a girls' night out.

    Chicken and waffles, crispy tuna rice, guava margarita
    Justin C.

    I came here for their happy hour deals and was so extremely satisfied with the food and the value! We ordered a guava margarita, crispy tuna rice rolls, chicken and waffles, pepperoni pizza off the happy hour menu. And we also got traditional chicken wings with 7 cajun spice rub. The chicken and waffles were my absolute favorite. The pepperoni pizza was solid as well. I wish they had some of the other pizzas on their happy hour, that would've been fun to try. I kind of regret ordering the chicken wings. The quality of the wings were on point - good crisp and juicy on the inside. But I didn't really like the dry cajun rub. I wish I got one of the other flavors. Also!! Y'all should add the chicken wings to the happy hour menu!! It would be a hit, especially with a nice glass of beer. The service was fine, nothing special and had to request some things like sauces and water twice. I think my waiter just forgot about us at times... but it was whatever. Not enough to knock this review down to 4/5. The food just made me so happy so definitely 5/5 for me. I will return!!

    MUST HAVE PLACE !
    Laura G.

    MUST TRY : Crispy Cauliflower Tacos Emily was such a great server and she was so darn kind to us. Gabe was an above and beyond waiter and accommodating to our seating arrangements, since I was cold and he made sure I stayed warm while eating my favorite food. ‍ This place is a great DATE NIGHT , ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION SPOT, and a great GIRLS NIGHT / BRO's NIGHT as well. OH, and kid friendly :) too ! They have baseball or recurrent games on TV and games ( with small charge ) on the touch table tablet . Their margarita Flights are phenomenal.

    Mother's Day Was Ruined. And I Need the Owner to Know…read more Let me tell you something. I've worked in five-diamond restaurants. I've worked Applebee's got the pin to prove it. Fried chicken spots. Everything in between. So when I tell you what happened here, know that I'm not some customer who doesn't understand how restaurants work. I know exactly how they work. My best friend lives in Camarillo and honey, he has been raving about this place for months. Every time someone comes to visit, he brings them here. He made our Mother's Day reservations well in advance. Our party of six. This man has easily dropped thousands of dollars in this restaurant. He loves this place. Loved. We arrived early. Server was ok. Seated us at 11, full house, two-hour window we understood the assignment. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Everything came out hot and fast. We're laughing, talking, having the best time and then I look down at my plate. There is a bug. Crawling. Through my eggs. My son grabbed his phone and got the picture. My husband God bless him, shot up to find a manager because that's what you do. That's what any reasonable person does. He found her. Her name is Cheryl. And Cheryl said... "You should've taken it up with the server." Strike one. Then she walks over to our table with an attitude and before I can even hand her my plate, she looks at me and says, "How do you want your eggs?" Like I'm supposed to take the same food back. The food with the bug in it. I was stunned. Not just by the question by the energy. It was off putting. She was annoyed. Like somehow WE were the problem. My kids were horrified. My best friend, the man who loves this restaurant was completely embarrassed. I asked to look at the menu. I wanted something different. Reasonable, right? We waited. The server came back, completely in the dark, said something like "I guess something was wrong with your food?" Sweet kid. Felt terrible when we filled him in. I said I'd just take a burger. He said of course they'd remove the chicken and waffles. THEN he came back. "We're going to have to charge you for the burger." WTH, I thought he had lost his entire mind. He disappeared again, came back, apologized I believe he genuinely felt bad. This has happened before when I have been a server and a manager is more than happy to offer you another dish and take off the other one. But Cheryl? The manager? Never came back. NOT once. Instead, she made her rounds to every single table AROUND us. Laughing. Greeting people. Interacting with guests. For 15 to 20 minutes, we sat there and watched her deliberately avoid our table. And that's when it hit me the thing I didn't want to think. I looked around. Really looked around. And we were the only ones. WELL, I was the only one who was African American woman. Me and my kids. My bestie and my hubby are of European descent. I don't SAY that lightly. Honestly? It makes me sick to even say it. But I couldn't find another explanation. Neither could my friend, who sat straight up in his chair and saw it too up close and personal. He was angry. I had to calm everyone down and say this wasn't worth it. I canceled the burger. We left. It was the worst Mother's Day I have ever had in my life. I have never been treated like this before. It's 2026. People have diverse families. What happened?! To the owner -- I'm hoping you're not her, and I'm hoping you read this. Your friend lost a loyal customer who brought everyone he knew through your doors. You lost our table, our money, and our trust the moment Cheryl decided we didn't matter. The moment she decided that she couldn't be bothered. I travel all around the world speaking, training and I have never been treated to poorly. I called hoping to speak to the OWNER. Cheryl called me back. Are you for real? She HAD a chance to make it right. But clearly she didn't care. She had every opportunity to make it right. She chose not to.

He was in a lengthy, loud conversation with 1 lady sitting at the bar. There was one other man eating, at the table next to us, he was an employee. I had to go up to the bar and mentioned to him it was our first time here. He didn't seem to volunteer, any information on how to order, until I asked him. Then he just said there is a number on the table to order. I asked if he had a menu, he seemed bothered that I asked for a menu. He mentioned I could order from the hostess, so I did. She was very nice and polite and took our order. While waiting for the pizza, trying to get the napkin dispenser on the table to work. They were not even popping up to use. Bar tender ignored the tapping the dispenser on the table. So I switched one dispenser from another table to ours. He never said a word when I tried to get the napkins to pop up. The bartender looked and took the faulty ones and placed them on the bar counter, and never tended to the problem. He didn't even say anything, not a sorry about that, He just continued talking to the lady. Pizza was delivered and we had a few slices left. I just went to the hostess and asked her for a box. She was very fast and we thanked her on our way out. He did not do anything behind the bar, other than talk to the lady. Then he served her a drink, and then waved his hand over the screen, it appeared he didn't charge her for the drink, He did not type in anything. Then a man walked in and sat at the bar, he ordered a beer. Then suddenly bar tender, has lots of work to do, moving around the bar like he is supposed to. It was like someone knows somebody in the business. He was slacking and ignoring us, he never asked, is everything okay or if we needed a pizza box to go, I was already asking the hostess for a box. Probably because I got my own napkins, because I didn't want to interrupt him talking to the lady. We will not be going back to the 999 pizza Tiki bar. I am giving 1 star for the bar service. 5 Stars to the hostess.

That was a HH the likes of which will never be seen again. But I digress...TODAY is today! Great, private parking lot with easy in/out. We came in for a lovely dinner and got just that. Seated immediately and in a comfy booth along the wall, perfect for people watching. SO. MANY. PEOPLE! I wasn't expecting a restaurant to be so full on a Tuesday night, but when you're as good as Ottavio's you develop a loyal following of locals who enjoy their time here. Many celebrations were obviously being had in just our little portion of the restaurant. There are multiple rooms, accommodating various sized parties, and the hot, delicious Italian faire just kept coming. Fresh, warm bread was delivered with our water and we dove into that doughy deliciousness strait away. Hubs went with a 50/50 plate of spaghetti and cheese ravioli with a meat sauce and added meatballs. I snuck a bite of the meatballs and they were very good, as was the sauce. I opted for the Tortellini Silvana, which was described as cheese tortellini w/sauteed chicken, fresh spinach, basil and sun dried tomato cream sauce. It was FABulous! Light and delicate sauce with full flavor. A generous portion, I took about 1/2 home! Our entrees each came with a choice of soup or salad. Hubs chose Italian Wedding and I went with Minestrone. (Side note: I knew well and good I would be having 2 soups, so I wanted to try both. ;-D) Both were made from scratch and delicious! I was impressed with how fluid the staff worked along side one another. Drinks then food then boxing and the check and - voila! - table turned and on to the next group, all while maintaining a welcoming and pleasurable attitude and friendly service. We are sure to have another meal here, next time we're craving old school Italian, homemade, handed down family recipes in Camarillo. Cheers! "CC"

    The food is okay. But for the prices they charge they should be able to afford a graphic designer…read moreinstead of posting AI slop. Im being serious when I say I won't spend money on a business that does this.

    Since having a great meal at the Ventura location, other Lure Fish House locations have been on my…read moreradar. To our surprise, the weekday earlyish dinner experience here was even BETTER than our great first impression in Ventura. The reason? Our stellar server Dan! Dan is if the soothing vocal affect & detail orientedness of Kelsey Grammer's Frasier Crane, + the compassion of Dr. Phil, + the genuine caring of your bff who really gets you all got infused into the body of a tall, tanned, actor-handsome golfer. We joked that Dan could heal anyone's daddy issues bc he was SO perfectly attentive & thoughtful in his details. From helpfully comprehensive explanations of the best of that day's daily fish, to the bringing us CHILLED spoons to eat some of our to-go blueberry cobbler before the ice cream could melt on the drive home, to bringing us new glasses of club soda mid meal - level thoughtfulness. When they say it's the little things, it really means it's all the little things that add up to a big thing. Green flags like crazy. Yep, that's our Dan! Dan was a totally unexpected surprise, but the comfy booth seating, cool decor & awesome food was not. We have come to expect a level of consistent excellence at Lure. This visit further reinforced this impression. Wild Cod Fish & Chips - likely some of the best - lightest & crispiest - cod we have had - ever, & I'm talking in the world (When we told Dan we'd share that dish, he offered to bring it first, so we could share it as an appetizer. Another green flag!) Sally's Sand Dabs - my 2nd time ordering this bc it's so perfect - pineapple slaw is always great & the garlicky spinach was buttery textured, simple, & fantastic Blue Eyed Trevalla - true to Dan's recommendation, a spectacular fish & cooked perfectly House salad - worth a special mention bc it was surprisingly great w/crispy raw corn kernels & a yum balsamic dressing Blueberry Cobbler a la mode - big enough to enjoy w/the ice cream there & also the rest at home later. Chilled spoons should be served with dessert all the time. Add the super easy parking situation to this great experience, & this was as perfect a dinner experience as you could ever have!

    We usually expect a top-tier experience when we come here, but unfortunately, this recent dinner…read morevisit fell short. We sat down at the oyster bar and noticed a guy working behind the counter who walked past us quite a few times without acknowledging us. My date eventually had to call him over just to ask for menus, water, and silverware, which a waiter finally brought over for us. Looking around, we noticed a lot of new faces, especially behind the grill, which might explain some of the hiccups. For our meal, we ordered the clam chowder and the crab cakes. The chowder was incredibly thick and the flavor was completely different than usual--it just wasn't enjoyable. My date wasn't happy with it either. To the restaurant's credit, our waiter was nice enough to take the chowder off our bill, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the crab cakes didn't fare much better. They tasted very fishy and the flavor was just completely off. This was the first bad experience we've ever had here, so it really stood out compared to what we are used to. We love this place, so we are hoping this was just a temporary setback with a new crew. We will likely try it again in the future and hope it regains its usual excellence!
