He would have loved that we celebrated him there. When we first reached out to the VFW to get information about reserving the date, we were greeted with great professionalism, condolences and a welcoming vibe. From the very beginning, Josh was very nice and helped us with every thing we needed. He answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. The day of the event we had such a great experience. The hall was nice, the tables and chairs were neatly stacked for our use. It's very nice inside. We had a great bartender, Florene! She was friendly, funny and poured some great drinks. We really enjoyed her And I know that it's a volunteer job so we really appreciate her time. Thank you Josh and Florene for helping us organize and get through a tough day. We really appreciate you.

I've been on a kick this year to see more historic parks and landmarks in SoCal. Shout out to…read moreYelper All-Star Derek W. of Lakewood, CA for inspiring me with his awesome photos and experiences! The challenge I'm finding is parks being open through the week, when we (ahem) "more mature folks" like to enjoy less crowds. So when I saw Heritage Square in Oxnard was open, with possible docent tours, on a TUESDAY, I jumped on the opportunity to partake of some local history. We headed for the Square and saw some parking but, being a first timer, I decided to drive around the entire square and see the layout from the street. I decided to park on W Seventh St, to the north and take advantage of shade, and the close proximity to Heritage Coffee and Gifts(separate review), which I knew we would wander into before departing the area. Turns out W Seventh is the perfect place to start. We entered and immediately were taken with the beautiful architecture, landscaping, care and attention to detail this special area exudes. It was all pretty magical and I wasn't sure where to start. Luckily, it wasn't more than a few steps in that we spotted the water tower and visitor's center/gift shop/central hub. We stepped inside and were greeted warmly. I explained that I saw they had docent lead tours and we could sign up online, but I wasn't sure what time we would arrive, so I didn't make a reservation. Was it still possible to get a tour, or was there a self-guided walking tour info sheet? We were asked to wait a moment while the manager and lead docent was found to see if they were available. Gary was available and we began our tour. What a WONDERFUL storyteller! Weaving the families and their history with Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and bringing them to life in front of their very lovingly restored homes! He took us inside of some of the buildings, where operational businesses agree to have the public tours pop in for a moment of show and tell. Details about the original designs, room layouts, furnishings and use were all so amazing to see, touch and learn about. The tour lasted about 45 minutes. We paid $10/pp and it was well worth it! Just to hear the history of the on-site church alone was worth it! But to venture inside, see the details in the hand-made stained glass and the conversion of the oil lanterns to electric. To hear how it has changed denominations over the years and to view the photos inside, documenting the preparation of the Square, the moving process for the homes and the restoration was so intriguing. This is such a beautiful and unique area. I love that these beautiful homes were repurposed and are thriving with businesses! At the end of the tour, Gary encouraged us to check out the annual Holly Trolley Tours, Christmas Tree Lane Event and Gingerbread House Exhibit and tours. All sounded absolutely delightful!. I immediately signed up for their newsletter and I'm REALLY looking forward to returning durning the holiday season and posting more pics of festively dressed docents and delightful decorations. Cheers! "CC"

The outdoor views were stunning, and the reception room was spacious, elegant, and spotless. I also appreciated that the restrooms were conveniently located right next to the main hall. The food was good -- we had both chicken and steak, and while it was pretty typical of Western-style wedding meals, everything was cooked well and enjoyable. Parking was a breeze -- there's a large lot on-site, and it's free! Overall, a wonderful experience at a truly lovely venue.

For the price it was a good experience, especially with the free concert. If you are looking for something fun to do for Halloween I highly recommend checking this out.

Two sisters (Elissa & Holly) married two brothers (Matt & Mike) and started this weekend project which has turned into quite a fun weekend escape. Elissa and her father, Walt, are usually manning the tasting room and are the most gracious hosts. It's a quaint, boutique winery and tasting room, which recently joined forces with the folks from Trois le Fou Winery. They each have their own tasting rooms, but they're joined and share a large production/barrel room area, which is also available for private events in addition to scheduled events and live music/comedy. They don't offer food, but you are welcome to bring in your own snacks/charcuterie. Parking is plentiful, as the business park is mostly closed on the weekends. WINES: Their wines change regularly, as they purchase their fruit from Paso Robles, Lodi, and San Antonio Valley, among other places. I think that their Sauvignon Blanc is a standard and we really enjoy it, but they also do a nice Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Malbec, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their "Speakeasy Wine Club" offers three levels of membership: "Blind Grape (6/yr)", "Bootlegger (12/yr)", and "Last Call (18/yr)", depending on the number of bottles you want per shipment/pick-up. Bottles currently run in the $38 - $50 range (before club member discounts). We love visiting the Lester Cellars family and highly recommend you stop in and check out their latest vintages. The service and wine are wonderful, and I'm betting you'll enjoy yourself as much as we do.

Pretty solid deal for happy hour - 3 to close Tuesday -Thursday in the dining room and 3 to close every day on the patio/beer garden. The bartenders were amazing - I think Jessica or Jasmine and Mike or Stever? Quick, efficient, friendly, on top of it. food came out right and quickly. For me, the food was mediocre. 23 bucks for a burger and fries and the shrinkflation was clear. But the drink prices more than made up for it. I'd have to try a few more things to get a better picture of the food but if the burger doesn't slap out of the gate it's not always the best sign. That aside, I'd go out of my way to go back based on the service and the staff.

Well, now we do! And with their new location, it somehow got even better. As an avid board game player and enthusiast, my eyes practically popped out of my head when I saw the incredible collection Kenan and Edith have put together. The library is packed with games I already know and love. The kind I can open up, play, and teach to new players without a second thought. It also has so many games I have always wanted to try, along with titles that caught my eye for the very first time just by seeing them on the shelves. The new space is warm, inviting, open, and genuinely comfortable. It gives you that feeling of being at home around the kitchen or dining room table, gathered with family or friends for a great game night. But what makes it even better is that you get that same cozy feeling while also having the chance to meet new people, grow your gaming circle, and share the hobby with others. And the D&D section? That is what a Dungeon Master dreams of when planning a session. Terrain, minis, source material, and plenty of table space all ready to go. Just looking at everything had my session-planning brain spinning with ideas for combats, encounters, and adventures I could throw at my players. Overall, this place has firmly cemented itself as my top spot in Ventura to gather with friends and meet new ones. It is close to many dining and drink options for any breaks during a game, has a warm and welcoming atmosphere inside, and is run by amazing owners who greet you with a smile whether it is your first visit or your hundredth. Add in the huge library of games to choose from, and it really is something special. I would give this place a million stars if I could. Come in and try it for yourself. Ventura is lucky to have it, I know I am.
