We were immediately welcomed by Juan, and from the start he was incredibly inviting, smiley, and gave off such good vibes. He genuinely made us feel welcomed the second we walked through the door. I'm not sure what his title is because he seemed to do a little bit of everything, but he explained how everything worked, let us know we could sit and come back up to order when we were ready, brought us our food, and even gave some great menu recommendations. He was so kind and attentive throughout the entire experience. The food and beer were also very tasty, and the portions were great too -- definitely worth it. Everything added to the overall experience. Being someone who works in customer service and food service myself, I take good service seriously, and Juan truly went above and beyond. He had an amazing attitude and work ethic, and he's exactly the type of person that brings people back to places. Great service leaves a lasting impression, and he absolutely did that. Loved the experience and will definitely be back!

We visited here the first time with our friends. We tried…read morethe dip chips , some beer flights, tacos and wings. The food and beer is great. What we didn't like was having to basically self serve ourselves by having to go to the bar instead of a waiter actually attending us. We didn't mind but this was never told when we first sat down until 20 minutes after no one came to our table. Once we finished eating, there was no room on our table. It took up until us finishing our last drink for someone to pass by our table to pickup our empty glasses and plates What I didn't appreciate was one of the waitresses was upset for not receiving a tip. Unfortunately , no tip was provided due to the Lack of interest service we received. We work hard for us to not be able to enjoy one night without having to try to be guilt tripped for not providing a tip. Rent , food , and everything else is expensive already as is. I also deliver food as part of another side job and not even I have expectation of a tip. I let the waitress know that it's not mandatory to provide a tip especially with the lack of service we received.

If you're going to hang your hat on the speakeasy aesthetic--dim lights, hushed tones, whispers of…read moreexclusivity--then understand this: you're entering into an unspoken pact with your patrons. We expect a certain standard, a level of care that borders on obsession. So when I catch Evan Williams--respectable, questionable, but barely twelve bucks a bottle--making an appearance behind the bar, it feels like a breach of trust. A quiet betrayal under low lighting. The illusion only works if the details hold up under scrutiny... and that pour? It broke the spell. And then comes the real offense: discovering that your Old Fashioned--the crown jewel of any respectable cocktail program--are built on bottom-shelf, dust-collecting bourbon. That's not just a letdown, it's a slap in the face. A cocktail like that deserves reverence, not shortcuts. And as if to twist the knife, there it was--a massive can of red maraschino cherries sitting shamelessly atop the bar, like some relic from a dive that's given up on finesse. It wasn't just a misstep. It was disrespect. In a place claiming the speakeasy mantle, details like these matter. They're the difference between theater and parody. The cocktails did not warrant the $15 price tag. Moreover, I would have paid more had I know the class of bourbon upfront. What ultimately redeems the space is its ambiance. The low flicker of the fireplace, the soft embrace of worn leather sofas, the curated hum of music floating just above conversation--it's seductive, even soulful. The room itself is small, intimate--the kind of place where you're bound to recognize a face, or at the very least, feel inclined to invite a stranger to share the sofa and maybe a story. And then there's the setting--tucked beneath a historic relic, a basement bar built into the bones of old Americana. The building dates back to the early 1900s, echoing with a past that deserves to be honored, not phoned in. That's exactly why I expected more from the cocktails. A place with this much atmosphere shouldn't fall flat when it comes to what's in the glass. It's a mismatch--a beautiful stage, but a script that doesn't quite rise to meet it.

I first started going to The Garage about 2.5 years ago. I didn't know anyone there, I just needed…read moreto get out. Since then, I've made... more friends than I can count. Genuinely good people. One of the bartenders even ended up being my roommate for a time (and we would dance together in the living room). It was a hard time in my life when I first went there and I've grown and become, hopefully, a much better person just from experiencing the wonderful friends I've met. I could tell so many stories, but my point is simply this: This is THE BEST bar I have ever been to in my entire life and I cannot say enough good things about it and the people who run it, the regulars, bartenders, etc. Just genuinely awesome people. Even just the other day, a couple came in and they hadn't been there before, and we were just talking and they said "This is such a nice place." It's like Cheers. I walk in the door and end up hugging like everyone before I even get my name on the pool table (they also have a really nice pool table. I've been playing for years now as a result.) The owners Big J and Dave are awesome... I'm kind of overflowing with compliments here but it's just... it's the best place. If I had to choose what I was going to do with my night, my day, whatever, just getting out, it would be The Garage. Absolutely awesome. (I'm honestly just disappointed with myself that I didn't give them a Yelp review sooner. I cannot recommend this place enough. 5 stars just doesn't cut it).

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!

Another great bar/food experience! Thank you Yadi for the great service!…read more My hubby ordered a black n tan (Guinness with a blonde) our server asked "that's a half and half right?"

The ambiance of the inside reminds me a little bit of Squidwards house (but in a good way) with a high arched ceiling and classical decor.

Last December, a friend came across The Cave while looking for a place to have lunch in Ventura and…read moresuggested we give it a try. I'm really glad he did because it's the kind of place I probably wouldn't have found on my own. The first thing that caught our attention was the self-serve wine dispensers lined with bottles ready to sample. We had a lot of fun walking back and forth, looking over the different selections, and deciding what to taste next. Being able to sample wines by the ounce before committing to a full glass made the whole experience feel interactive. I especially liked that I could compare different Cabernet Sauvignons side by side, which isn't something you get to do very often. After trying a few different Cabernets, Chimney Rock ended up being my favorite. The dining room added to the experience. The cave-like ceilings, warm lighting, and comfortably spaced tables made it easy to settle in, enjoy our lunch, and catch up without feeling cramped or rushed. If you enjoy trying different wines, it's easy to lose track of time here. We started with a cheese plate, which turned out to be much more generous than I expected. It came with a nice assortment of cheeses, crisp apple slices, grapes, candied walnuts, crostini, and a savory relish on the side. It was a great dish to share with our wine. My friend ordered the tuna poke tower, and we shared the cheese flatbread and sweet potato fries. I went with the Original Cave Salad with salmon, which came with a generous piece of perfectly cooked salmon over fresh greens, apples, grapes, walnuts, and blue cheese. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous enough that we left completely satisfied. One thing I appreciated was that we never felt rushed. Lunch naturally turned into an afternoon of catching up, comparing notes on the different wines, and deciding which pours we wanted to try next. Before we left, we wandered through the wine shop one more time. If you discover a favorite during lunch, you can pick up a bottle before heading home, which is a nice touch. I'm really glad my friend found this place. The next time I'm in Ventura, it'll definitely be on my list again.

There is a two item minimum per person. I got the watermelon margarita, lemon pepper boneless chicken, and peach paradise sangria. Service was mostly good. My server came by regularly. The only minor issue I had was having to ask for utensils and water twice. It seems the server who takes the order is different from the ones that serve the food/drink.

Thank you Levity Live management for ruining our evening…read more Unfortunately, today would be the last time that my family will ever visit Levity Live in Oxnard. Additionally, we will stop recommending this venue to any of our friend in the forceeable future. We have discovered Levity Live back in January. My wife was scouring Facebook and found tickets for Gabriel Iglecias. We love Fluffy. Bought tickets for herself, me and our 15yo son. We have went to the concert, walked through front door, no id was asked, and enjoyed our time. Even got a private time with Fluffy after the concert. Have pictures to prove it. Second time just about a week ago went to see Phil Medina and other comedians. Same story three tickets, no id asked for. Also have pictures of our son and Phil after the concert in front of the venue. --- And this brings us to today. Found rare tickets for Nurse John. Again. Got three tickets. Nowhere on the tickets or on the platform where we got them from was an age restriction. Went to the venue early to get better seats. At the door we are stopped and prompted for id's. We have asked why? Club is now 21 and over, new policy. We have asked if we would be allowed in with the minor as our responsibility, and were told that it si up to the floor manager to decide. Few minutes later floor manager appears; Unfortunately we can not let you in, I have called higher management and they have denied the entry. My wife had asked for a refund or a equal value credit. While pointing out that this is not a first time we would bring our underage son to this venue. Managers response was shoking: Even though you have managed to sneak your son in in the past. We can not allow him in and we can not give you a refund. --- We were just accused in SNEAKING our son in in front of other people. Is this professional? -- All of a sudden a security guard appears next to us. Not doing anything just watching. My wife had suggested to continue conversation outside so, we don't interfere with other ticket holders whom, btw are not asked for their ids. Outside we are now accompanied by two security officers. The manager is not offering any logical solutions to the situation, just repeating herself about offering us a venue credit and denying the refund. Conversation lasts for few minuets and all of a sudden a third security guard appears: a woman. Judging by her demeanor, could be a supervisor. We are now surrounded by three security guard. My wife is 5'2. Are they afraid she would go hand to hand with them? Conversation continues but now it is accompanied by extremely rude remarks from a female security guard aimed at my wife, to a point that I had to point that out, just to be dismissed. We are now offered a business card that we would have to use to call and supposedly reveive some comp tickets. we are agreeing since there is no point in dragging the conversation further. Clearly manager has absolutely no interest in resolving the situation but trying to dismiss it and get rid of us as quickly as possible. Both the manager and female security gueard leave to fetch a business card. Few minutes later only female security guard appears and tosses us a business card, with extremely sarcastic: here you are have a nice day, comment. My wife picks the card and while we are turning to leave, all of a sudden I hear: "what about f...g b..ch" coming from the female guard. I turn around and ask one of the male security guards about a name of that person just to be server with a response: don't worry about it. ---- During his performance Phil Medina had announced that this was his last concert at Levity Live due to some "changes" Apparently these changes effect not just performers but the audience as well. It is also apparent that management has no interest in taking care of their customers if customer service is non existent. . We loved going to Levity Live. We loved the food, the atmosphere, and the performes, but all this is in the past now thankful to people in charge of keeping customers happy but having no interest and possibly experience of doing so.
