    Always topped off!!
    Patrick A.

    Always a treat to stop in and have breakfast! The food is always delicious. The staff is warm and welcoming. I always opt for the counter seating. The other patrons I meet are very nice! Good places attract good people. Enjoy your visit!

    Hot chocolate & lemonade
    Kenneth M.

    Hot chocolate 10/10 Will come back for just hot chocolate if we ever do. More of a 1x visit for us. The food isn't what I expected when I ordered. It is tasteful the steak and egg. However the sandwich was pretty bland. Is a good 1st time try to experience. Don't think we will go back tho. They did check up often though that was nice.

    Belgian waffle and eggs

    Was waiting to get my car done and they recommended this place. Great service they keep your coffee refilled! My son loved his steak and eggs snd biscuits. They have a bunch of great specials and they let you substitute the bacon for turkey bacon at no extra charge! My Belgian waffles were great. The eggs come from happy local farm raised chickens and you can taste the difference! Generous portions! We will be back to try something new.

    Special #1 pancakes eggs and bacon

    This is one of the most consistent things in my life--Henri's. I frequent this place on the weekends, and even at their busiest, they do a great job serving, making sure your coffee cup is filled, and are so friendly. I always get a big smile and hug from my favorite server. I get the pancakes eggs and bacon and I haven't found a place that has as fluffy and flavorful pancakes. Nice portion and good syrup too. I love a diner style breakfast joint that keeps it simple but quality.

    Awaiting car repairs...I decided to dine at a local mom and pops cafe down the street. Henri's Cafe was the name of the local diner. My daughter and I wasn't escorted to the table. The lady greeted us near the entry door and told us just take a seat wherever. We sat in a booth and I notice the place wasn't the cleanest. I ordered a 6 piece chicken wings as appetizer and grilled salmon salad as the entree. My daughter had cheese quesadillas along with French fries. The service sucked and could be a lot better. The taste of the food was not enough to patronize this business again. This place needs strong leadership and a little love and care and could actually have the potential of being a great diner due to its location.

    This place always leaves me satisfied it's a classic breakfast spot. They keep the coffee filled and fresh the staff is always friendly. The food comes fast portions and prices are good. Very clean restaurant and I enjoy watching all the cars and people of the five points. One of my favorite go to breakfast spots

    Clam chowder - fridays only
    Alex W.

    First time coming and can't say the food was superb, but can't say they were bad either for a cafe. At a busy intersection, getting to the lot itself will take some patience as the lights take a while. There is a small parking lot on site. Upon arriving, we were told to sit anywhere along this side of the wall. Once seated, we were asked for drinks and they came promptly. We ordered their specialty dishes - meatloaf with clam chowder (added) and the wife did country fried steak. Appearances, the food is decent looking. The winning visual I thought were the plates. There is just something about eating on nice heavy plates at a diner that is appealing to the experience. For the meatloaf, I quite enjoyed it. Strong meaty flavor with diced celery and carrot pieces inside. The carrots and celery could have been diced more finely for better visuals, but it was fine as is. The mashed potato and steamed veggies were average. Not much taste to the veggies and the potatoes were on the dense side of things. The gravy was a bit salty, but it wasn't too bad as the potato and veggies were on the blander side. For the country fried steak, I'm told it was okay. The batter is a bit different and the chicken inside reminded her of chicken patty instead of a chicken steak. For the clam chowder, it wasn't bad. Had decent quantity of ingredients and a nice creamy texture and taste to it. The garlic bread that came were spicy. I'm not sure if that is intended, but we think cayenne was sprinkled on top instead of garlic powder. All in all. The food is pretty average. Even though I liked the meatloaf, everything else was mediocre at best. It is what a diner gives for quality and quantity, but they aren't terrible at least. Nice to have once in a while to change the pace/taste buds perhaps. Worth a try to formulate your own opinions.

    This will be our new brunch spot. The food is a bit better than the other breakfast places here in Oxnard. Also, this is a homegrown business which will definitely get my support. Service is good even during rush hour. I can't wait to try the rest of the dishes.

    Great place, food was delicious, wonderful service and great prices. Breakfast is served all day. They have plenty of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a great kids menu. We will definitely be back.

    Corned beef and hash....crispy to perfection.
    James J.

    This place is always crowded for a reason....fantastic food for a fair price. They keep hitting the mark time after time.

We came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We each ordered a cocktail. She got a blueberry margarita and I got a cucumber gin mixed drink. Both were refreshing and delicious. We ended up ordering another round. For appetizers we ordered the crispy maple Brussels and tuna & salmon tartare. The Brussels were fried to perfection and glazed a sweet maple syrup. It also came with thick cuts of bacon. Definitely recommend this. For the tartare, it was also delicious and fresh. It was mixed with avocado and turnip. We thought the turnip would be off putting but it actually meshed well with the flavors. Came with fried wonton chips. For the main course we shared the NY strip and Lobster Malfaldine. The steak was cooked to perfection with a very nice sear and flavored well. Probably one of the better steaks I've ever had. Definitely beats out any steakhouse steak. The Lobster Malfaldine was also absolutely delicious. Most of the time, lobster pasta is usually a bit bland and lacking in lobster. NOT HERE. They included big chunks of lobster and the sauce was so good. Lastly, we ended our dinner with the Strawberry Hand Pie. This is basically a warm strawberry strudel with vanilla bean ice cream. They used locally sourced strawberries and I'm still thinking about it as I'm writing this review. Adrienne was our server and she was very nice and attentive. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they comped our dessert. Super nice staff!

The ambiance of the beach nearby is pleasant. A lot of the menu items are found through scanning a QR code in your phone to prevent users from looking at a paper menu.

Waitresses try their best but seem stretched too thin to be very attentive. You are made to use Cakes online ordering and wait list program which is less than ideal because of their slow WiFi. While waiting for a table you are updated on your place in line. On our last visit we waited as next to be seated for 20 minutes as multiple large parties showed up late and were seated immediately. We were told they were friends of the owner and there's nothing they could do but the staff hates it- for what that's worth. Today my Avocado toast left much to be desired. Sourdough tastes like dry thin sliced white bread. Small amount of smashed Avocado; not enough to cover the bread topped with less than fresh pico da gallo, arugula a balsamic drizzle and 3 slices of tomato that were marinated in Italian dressing. All things I like but the combination was not good. BLTA used the same disappointing bread, flaccid under cooked bacon a tiny amount of pesto aioli and more avocado then there was on the avocado toast. Kids mini pancakes were good but chocolate chips are $1 up charge. I will say yesterday's eggs Benedict was good- hollandaise is excellent. Breakfast potatoes were a bit undercooked. Bloody Mary was a bit weak in my opinion. After all of that- I got a look at the receipt and there is a 2% BOH RevShare added to the bill. My best guess is this is fee to help pay the kitchen- To be honest we went here because it was a short walk from the Hilton. After the poor service, bad quality and hidden fees- we would be better off eating on the resort.

For starters, we had fresh seared ahi tuna, delicious crab cakes, perfectly battered shrimp, and crispy calamari served with a marinara sauce that had just the right amount of spice. Our table enjoyed the chicken piccata, lobster ravioli, and Wagyu burger, and every entrée was excellent. The blackberry margaritas were a standout and worth the visit alone! Dessert was the perfect finish with tiramisu, rich chocolate cake, and incredible churro waffles topped with caramel cream sauce, walnuts, and strawberries. Chef's kiss to all three. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and upscale, with great outdoor seating and harbor views. The packed bar area made it clear this is a local favorite. Highly recommend Waterside whenever you're in the Oxnard/Channel Islands area. We will definitely be back!

We ordered the Ribeye and Carbonara, along with the garlic fries and a blackberry margarita. The Ribeye was cooked beautifully, was juicy and had lots of flavor. At no fault to the restaurant, there was a lot of fat on our cut. Disappointingly, the veggies and mashed potatoes tasted bland and basic, as if from a can. The carbonara was delicious, with crunchy bacon bits and fresh tomato cuts. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was the right consistency. The garlic fries lacked actual "garlic" flavoring, and tasted like regular fries. The blackberry margarita was very delicious. 3/5 stars - Will return
