I was initially a bit skeptical about dining here because I had heard both positive and negative reviews, and the last thing I wanted was a disappointing experience on our wedding anniversary. Fortunately, our experience exceeded expectations. First, the service from our waiter, Mathew, was outstanding. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. We started with the California sushi roll appetizer, which was excellent. For our entrées, I ordered the steak, and my wife chose the tri-tip baby back ribs. Both dishes were prepared perfectly, and we were extremely satisfied with our meals. Mathew also recommended a red Pinot Noir that paired wonderfully with dinner. His recommendation was spot on. To top off the evening, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary anniversary dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. The entire experience felt special, and everything came out perfectly. Overall, we had a fantastic anniversary dinner and would gladly return. read more

Still a huge fan! Recently we came for a date night and the filet mignon sashimi was the most incredible dish I think I've ever had. Perfect amount of flavors and the meat layered over the mashed potatoes was amazing. I dream of this dish. Service was also 10/10 read more

Thank you Larsen's Grill in Oxnard for saving our Christmas dinner! The restaurant we had reservations for flooded due to the rain storm of the century and could not open. We called Larsen's and they had an open reservation at 7:30 PM. We were greeted with friendly faces, a joyful ambience in the restaurant and it was definitely Christmas. We had two dinners of lobster tail and one of the pork chop. This was a preset menu, which was very representative of their excellent food. The pork chop was probably the best pork chop we've ever had in our lives. It was prepared sous vide style and so tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly. The lobster tails were good size, broiled, but a little dry and not much flavor but the butter made them all better. We still enjoyed it and really were happy to be there. We tried 3 of the desserts. The maple bourbon crème brûlée, the butter cake and their house-made Keylime pie. There were three of us eating and we all tried these options. We had two thumbs up on the crème brûlée, one thumb up on the butter cake and no thumbs up on the Keylime pie. The Keylime pie was similar in our mind to a cheesecake (huge piece, super creamy but it's not what we were used to. The crème brûlée was delicious, but we didn't get much maple bourbon flavor. The butter cake tasted and felt like a cake doughnut, delicious but not what we expected. We also enjoyed the maple carrots side dish, it was fantastic! All in all the dinner was successful and again thank you Larsen's for serving us all on Christmas instead of you being home with your families. It is truly appreciated!!! read more

After having Larsen's here for years, we finally had dinner here. Such nice vibes inside. Upscale but relaxing. Delicious steaks, cooked to perfection. Nice cocktail menu. Extensive wine menu. Wish they offered a decent bread option. Normally steakhouses offer a good bread and butter menu option, and their garlic bread just doesn't cut it. Easy parking, short walk. Definitely pricier, but a good choice for a steakhouse. read more

Stopped in as the restaurant we were intending to go to had a 35 minute wait so thankfully Larsen's had plenty of available seating and did not disappoint! There was a piano player at the bar and made for the best ambience while dining in the main dining room and our server was spectacular. The food was delicious and the drinks were good and overall made for a nice evening before we had to attend a show at the comedy club nearby. read more

celebrated our daughter's wedding with a small family dinner the evening after. they accommodated our party size perfectly an Eddie our server was attentive and courteous. while the miso soup arrived cold, it was replaced fairly quickly. I had the rib/trip tip combo and the ribs slid right off the bone. very extensive wine and cocktail list. the 2022 Austin Hope did not disappoint. the desserts were decadent and could feed a small country. try the butter cake! The next day I had a voicemail from the restaurant thanking us for visiting and offering to answer any questions or take feedback. That kind of customer service is very rare and I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

I want to start this review by thanking Mark for his above and beyond service at Larsen's. His attention to detail was what completed our dinner. I chose Larsen's to celebrate my mother's birthday and made a dinner reservation online for 6 of us. We were a larger party which is why the attention to detail was clearly delivered. We started our dinner with 2 appetizers of the Jalapeno Queso Dip and Guac, creamy, cheesy, and with a little bit of spicy. Great appetizer to start. Everyone in the my party enjoyed their entrees from the New York Strip, Filet Mignon, Porterhouse, Rib Eye, and Sea Bass. I ordered the Hawaiian Tri Tip which I will rate an 8/10. The tri tip was a bit overcooked but next time I will simply choose a different entree. The flavor and taste was great. It paired great with their mac and cheese (order a larger size as it is very rich and creamy. Try and save some room for their dessert menu. The butter cake pairs excellent with vanilla ice cream. Among the dessert drink menu the PB & J Old Fashioned drinks tastes exactly like the classic PB & J sandwich. Overall, stellar food and stellar service for a beautiful night to celebrate a birthday. read more

my friend and I come here for happy hour every now and then, and while it's always a great time, we had to shout our server tonight. The food is always great, but Krystal made the whole experience even better. She is SO personable, she was great about checking up on us, she got all our special requests re sauces etc correct, and just genuinely creates a great experience for her diners. read more

I was spending the night in Oxnard and felt like prime rib so, I hit up Larsen's Grill in the Collection. I ordered a glass of the Sonoma Chardonnay and of course the Prime Rib medium rare and of course, everything was just outstanding. Not only was the food outstanding but also the service as I was sitting at the Bar. Great Job and if you are ever in the area, check them out and I'm sure you will enjoy your evening. read more

We've been coming here often for date nights, anniversaries, and for the past three years, Christmas as well. It's always delicious, and the customer service is consistently so kind and welcoming. We even have favorite servers because of how friendly and attentive they are every time. The vibe is nicely upscale but still chill and relaxed. The food is always a hit, and we've never had any major issues. There was one time when a pasta dish wasn't quite up to par, but every other visit has been fantastic. We've tried various appetizers, drinks, and courses, and they're always so good. The atmosphere is great, and while the prices are a bit on the higher side, it's definitely worth it. read more

Went for Happy Hour . Service is amazing. The calamari tasted awful but really enjoyed the steak tacos and spinach dip. It's supposed to be spinach /artichoke but it was all spinach . Still great . House wine was good too. Why the 5 stars ? It is because when I told the server , Alex about the issue he took the dish away immediately and asked if he could bring anything else while apologizing. He went above and beyond to make sure ... he could make it right . We opted not to get anything else . The Christmas decor , dim lighting and soft music playing is always a vibe. Great place to meet friends and be able to catch up. read more

This review is strictly for the kitchen. Ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and the chips were extremely stale, but was replaced by our waitress who was extremely understanding. my husband ordered the ribeye asked for medium and it came out rare towards the middle and fat parts of the steak. For the pricing of the menu, you would think the food would come out correct the first time. Be cautious of the steaks if ordering any. Update: DO NOT recommend this place to eat!! My husband got food poisoning not long after eating from this restaurant. We will never be returning again. read more

Disappointed overall. The food was just okay, but definitely overpriced for the quality. Service was very slow throughout the meal, and we ran into cleanliness issues that were hard to overlook. Several plates we were given were dirty and had to be replaced, and the tablecloth was also visibly dirty. The bottoms of some plates were unclean as well, which we documented in photos. Dessert was especially disappointing. The crème brûlée was genuinely bad. Three different people at our table tried it and all agreed it was unpleasant. For the price point, we expected much better service, attention to detail, and overall quality. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth it. read more

Had a great night for drinks and appetizers. Bartender Andrew Perez took great care of us. Hector provided great logistics and kept things running smoothly. We visit this location very frequently.

Our server Eddie was great. The Miso Sea Bass was good. However all the filets were very overcooked. The manager did bring replacements but by then everyone else was almost done with their meals. They also were out of a few of the beers and wine we asked for. Most likely won't return. read more

Larsen's Happy Hour is one of the most underrated spots in the area. When all the other restaurants are too crowded to find a seat, I'm not bothered. Rather, I'm sipping on an Old-Fashioned, eating a hearty meal over happy hour. It's low-key and intimate. The Grilled Fish Tacos, come in a duo. The Jalapeno, Bacon, Mac & Cheese is a generous portion, enough to share. Meaty bits of jalapeno and bacon. Most items on the Happy Hour menu are $15. Darn inflation, prices were better beforehand. The bar area of the restaurant is "First Come, First Serve" with plenty of high-top bar tables for 3 and 4 people. There are two TVs to catch a game. The piano man in the corner is a nice touch. Call for the schedule! read more

My wife and I went for our annual Valentine's Day dinner and again the meal was phenomenal. We shared the wedge salad chopped in the kitchen which was great, while enjoying a glass of Pinot Grigio. Our go to dish is usually the Chateaubriand for two but this time my wife had a new dish which was the crab stuffed prawns and I had the New York Strip steak. Both dishes were amazing.The service was exceptionally as was the atmosphere with a piano player playing in the background. I cannot say enough about Larsen's and the wonderful evening we had there. Great job everyone. read more

Probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant, especially one that is considered one of the best in the city. We arrived at 8:30 and there were literally two other people in the restaurant having dinner. I ordered a martini and it took 15 minutes to arrive. I ordered the Caesar salad with anchovies. The anchovies were absolutely disgusting and not edible. Very fishy to say the least! My wife and I both ordered the rotisserie chicken. She specifically asked that whatever glaze comes with it is not put onto her chicken since it had sugar and she does not eat sugar. Needless to say, her chicken arrived with the honey glaze poured all over the chicken. The waiter disappeared for 20 minutes and never even checked to see how we were doing. We also had asked for water when he brought the entrées and that arrived 20 minutes later as well. The chicken was bland and had zero flavor and same with the mashed potatoes and carrots. I was charged $26 for my Chopin martini. Lol! What a great deal! I have no clue how this place stays in business. read more

Lovely experience start to finish. It's dark but still well lit and clean with a nice calm atmosphere. The hostess was sweet and we were seated within 30 minutes on a Sunday night of black friday weekend. We waited at the bar and the drinks were delicious, strawberry fields and a strawberry lemon drop! Dinner was AMAZING! Oysters were fresh and yummy. We ordered an off menu offer the A5 Wagyu from Japan and it was literally melt in your mouth, loaded baked potato and the mac and cheese were a perfect pair to the steak and our server Matt wow he made the experience awesome as well he was well know ledged with the menu and just relatable! He made the birthday extra nice with their butter cake to end the night! I just loved my time here I will go back I loved the feeling of the place, staff and food ALL OF IT! read more

Service was great! The food was definitely not worth the price. Some of the ladies got the lobster tail half off on Sunday . They a pretty good deal. But you have to pay for your sides. You can go to Black Angus or Wood Ranch for half the price and the food taste better!The six of us all agreed!We will not be going there again! read more

My boyfriend and I went in for Valentine's Day and they were very busy. Waiters tried their best to provide the best service possible but the food was very disappointing for the price we paid. I ordered a medium rare filet mignon and it was more in the medium/medium well side. I picked at it and tried to eat it but couldn't get it down. My boyfriend ordered the Chilean miso sea bass which he's had several times. When he bit into it, he said it had a rubbery texture and therefore opted out of eating it. We've come here multiple times before and the food was great. Service was still good despite it being Valentine's Day, but we were very disappointed in the food. read more

Larsen's Grill is a pretty fancy steakhouse restaurant that serves all their entrees in a very presentable, appetizing manner. Most of their food was delicious, but there were some flaws. The thing that was lacking for me was the flavor and how long the meat was cooked. First of all, the service was outstanding. The waitress that helped us was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all the questions that we had really well. The jalapeno queso dip was such a good appetizer to start off our meal. The queso was hot and cheezy and guacamole was creamy and delicious. It's the best of both worlds when it comes to chips and dip. The New York strip was a little disappointing. It first came out quite overcooked in the middle even though we asked for medium rare. It was more medium well to us. The server was really nice to let the kitchen know and we got another New York strip with the right consistency. Although it was cooked to our liking, the meat was not as tender as we would like it to be. It might've been the cut of the beef or just older beef, but it just wasn't as satisfying to eat. The baked potato that came along with it was really good though even though this shouldn't be the star of the dish. The herb roasted chicken lacked in flavor and the chicken was just not juicy. The entree looked beautiful though, but the taste was just average to me. Overall, it was still a good experience because the employees were all very nice and understanding, but I just wasn't impressed by the food as much as I thought I would have been. read more

We came here from reading other praising reviews. The food was so delicious, the atmosphere was so delightful and the place was charming.

Came for dinner on a Friday night, there was no wait and plenty of tables. We had been here previously and had a very good roast beef dip sandwich and a good (but a bit uninspiring) sliced tri-tip plate. On this occasion, we again had the roast beef dip sandwich, but I had the dry-aged filet mignon. The sandwich was again very good (and the fries are excellent), but I was very disappointed in my steak. It came as I requested it - medium rare, but there was absolutely no crust on it at all. It looked like it had been cooked entirely in the oven, with little or no grill time. The baked potato was large, but barely warm - it wouldn't even melt the butter! We had selected a chardonnay, but they said they no longer carried it (so why is it still on the menu??) If I could give 3.5 stars, I would, but I'll give 4 only because the service, sandwich and fries were excellent. BUT - for the price of that steak, it should have been much, much better. read more

I've been to Larsens Grill twice, and have only had a chicken dish, but I loved it so much the first time, I had it the next time too! For dessert, I had the creme brule, and it was also delicious! The waiter we had, same guy bith times, was amazing, but I'm old and I've slept since then, so I'm not remembering his name. I did remember his name the day after, when Larsens called to ask about our experience, so I was able to give him a shout out then. read more

I came to Larsens for dinner with representatives from companies the first time I was really impressed with the service and the food. The second time I thought it was more busy despite having less people. however I thought I putting the dessert in the box is a great idea because people have already eaten and they probably won't finish all the dessert. My husband came here as well, but he didn't think steak was that great. artichoke dip was super good and I highly recommend it. Walnut salad is good but without the blue cheese. I would give them another chance and try them as this is really the only good state place in the Oxnard area. read more
