Wow! What a great find in Thousand Oaks…read more From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was great. Our server, Michael, was incredibly kind and attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and raved about how delicious the food was. He was right! The food was excellent! My ribeye was tender and cooked perfectly. My husband's meal was equally as good. We will definitely be back. It was a fantastic place for our date night but I think it would be equally nice for a celebration.

What an amazing experience, The moment we stepped in we felt so welcomed…read more Phil warmly greeted us, introduced himself and shook our hands. We had the family schnitzel and it was delicious, crispy, fresh and the salad is perfectly dressed. The coffee was smooth as well. The staff was so personable and attentive. The decor and ambiance did not disappoint! We were trying to find something to eat on a road trip and we're feeling disappointed that mostly everything around was chain restaurants and places that lack any personality, we are so glad we tried Phil's. Phil's has a human that feels like it is becoming rare in a sea full of iPad restaurant experiences. We will definitely be returning back and recommending to friends. If you are in the area this is your place.

Wanted to go on a Saturday adventure and came across the Yelp reviews for Old Place Steakhouse,…read moreespecially the reviews mentioning their Thick Cut Bacon. After reading those reviews, I decided to make the trip for lunch. The cutoff time for lunch is 4 PM, so I headed out and was very eager to finally try the place. When I arrived at Old Place Steakhouse, I noticed how secluded it was, tucked away in the corner. There is parking in the back in case there isn't any available in the front. When I got out of my SUV, I immediately enjoyed the scenery and the rustic vibe. Since I wasn't familiar with the layout, I walked around for a bit and eventually found the To-Go area. Here's a tip: If you park in the back, walk toward your left and look for the restroom. Walk past the restroom, and you'll find the To-Go section. When I arrived, I was welcomed by a friendly staff member named Christina. She was very welcoming, and we had a great conversation. I told her that I had driven a long way and that the reviews about the Thick Cut Bacon were one of the main reasons I wanted to visit Old Place. She mentioned that the bacon is prepared in-house and hand-cut, which made me even more excited to try it. I went ahead and ordered: * Thick Cut Bacon -- 3 pieces * Oak-Grilled Steak Sandwich with Mixed Green Salad * Homemade Iced Tea The Oak-Grilled Steak Sandwich comes with sirloin, Bleu Cheese Aioli, and grilled onions. The side salad comes with mixed baby greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and their house-made vinaigrette dressing. The Iced Tea was infused with rosemary and lavender -- highly recommended! While waiting for my order, I found a table and sat down. Once my order was ready, it was placed in a bag, and I started taking everything out of the containers. I was ready to finally try the sandwich. This was one of the best steak sandwiches I have ever had. The Bleu Cheese Aioli and grilled onions complemented the sirloin extremely well and added plenty of flavor. Of course, that's just my personal opinion, but I really enjoyed the combination. The side salad was also great, and I especially enjoyed the house-made vinaigrette dressing. Now, let's talk about the bacon! The bacon was fresh, and the pieces were very generous in size. I could taste the smokiness, and I really enjoyed the crunch of the outer edges. After hearing so much about the Thick Cut Bacon in the reviews, I'm happy to say it lived up to the hype. As for the drink, since it was a bit warm that day, the Iced Tea was perfect. It was refreshing and very welcoming. There is only one size available, but it was a very generous portion. I loved that I could actually taste both the rosemary and lavender without either flavor being overwhelming. Overall, my experience was great. The food was delicious, the rustic scenery made the trip feel like a little getaway, and the customer service I received from Christina made the experience even more worthwhile. In my personal opinion, I would definitely recommend Old Place Steakhouse if you're looking for a nice getaway with great scenery and a good lunch. I would absolutely come back, especially for dinner, so I can try more of their menu.

I've found myself feeling disappointed with hospitality lately--it seems like genuine, friendly service has become harder to find--but that was absolutely not the case here. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. I had the taco salad, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best taco salad I've ever had. I also love the variety of food, all of the healthy options, and the fact that it's dog-friendly. Such a great experience all around. We will definitely be back!

My family and I came to Neighborly, it being recommended to me and close by in the area. I know…read morethat they're known for their array of options and a wide variety of food to choose from. I was nervous, though, going into this, because it reminded me of the nearby Topanga Social with a similar concept. After less than a year, the Topanga Social is closing due to one of the reasons being that a ghost kitchen doesn't cater, and therefore, have the expertise, to one certain food type or style. Unfortunately, that's exactly what this ended up being. When we entered, it was an untraditional restaurant experience as you go to a tablet/ screen area and choose from one of the six or so "restaurants" that they have to choose from. In theory, this is super cool! However, certain foods are good because a lot of the times, the people making them worked on perfecting that dish for you and others. Additionally, when you don't have a hostess and/ or server, there's an extra level of relationship building with the customer that you now don't get. People can manage, but it's the customer service that sometimes can make or break a business. This restaurant used to be Social Monk, until they decided to add the five or so other, now essentially, ghost kitchens that all operate under that same old Social Monk roof. Once we paid and finished ordering on the screen, we sat down and waited for our food. The seating area was a bit cramped inside, but expanded to outside which was nice. Inside, they had little tubs of candy around the store for purchase. There's also a fountain and a gelato store nearby, which is great for families looking to make more of their day. The positives? The area is nice. The literal neighbors, like the gelato place next door, are great! The speed in which we got our food was good, too, as well as the variety of options of food that they have available. My food came as a bigger portion size than what I was expecting, so I could hypothetically get maybe two meals out of it. The negatives? The prices aren't the prettiest, like mine coming at $18 (but keep in mind the portioning.) Additionally, when we got our food, it truly was not good. My chicken and chow mein came together on a big plate, however the chicken was cooollllddddd. The noodles were okay and warm, actually, although the chicken had been cold. Bland. Not great. My sister got chicken tenders and fries in which were also incredibly bland and not worth eating even half of. I brought my food back to the counter area where they had registers not in use and asked a worker if I could get a refund. They got a manager, who asked if I wanted them to heat it up, but at that point, I felt so defeated and annoyed, especially for almost $20 worth of food and the last thing I wanted was for it to be heated up in a microwave. Maybe this wasn't their day? Westlake doesn't have much variety, so having options like this is nice and I can see why so many people find them appealing - it's just not good food. A lot of the older people who look like they love eating saltines and rice cakes come here and it's easy to see why. Unfortunately, my sister and I did not like their food due to it being cold, bland, and unseasoned, and we most likely won't be coming back.

They accommodated our group of 12, although they did give us an estimate or 25 mins and it became an hour! There was plenty of staff taking care of us and food and drinks came out in a quick manner. The dirty sodas were good and very sweet. We had the Pepsi (strawberry) one and the Diet Coke one. Made a couple of us realize we are dirty soda fans. Drinks refills were appreciated. We sat separately, 4 or us were at the couch and it was dirty with leftover food scraps, drink markings on the table, and lots of dog fur. It was hard to eat our food in that area. For appetizers we had: - deviled eggs - came with 5 halves and were just meh - poke nachos - onion rings - massive for 5 ppl but pretty standard Entrees are slightly small but it matches the price. Peggy's crispy chicken sandwich was crispy but kinda tasteless. The truffle fries came with lots of cheese and were good. The Wagyu burger was good. Splitting the check on the machine was so smooth. You can do as many cards and separate by item, which was helpful for a large group.

Our waiter Danielle provided excellent service--I can't express enough how much I appreciated the attentive and friendly experience. The beer was served ice cold and was the perfect size for a hot afternoon. The Cobb salad was excellent. It was fresh, generously prepared, and included every ingredient you would expect. We also received the extra side of blue cheese we requested, which was appreciated. We also ordered the bacon cheeseburger. There was nothing wrong with the burger itself--it was cooked well and prepared nicely. My only personal preference was that the barbecue sauce was a bit overpowering and masked the flavor of the bacon and beef. If you enjoy a stronger barbecue flavor, you may really like it, but I would have preferred a lighter touch. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit thanks to the excellent service, refreshing drinks, and fresh food. We'd be happy to return.
