My wife and I waltzed into this charming eatery on a splendid day, feeling like we were the stars of a romantic comedy. The staff greeted us with smiles as wide as the Grand Canyon and whisked us to our seats faster than a sprinter at the Olympics. The place was as bright and shiny as a polished gem. We started our culinary adventure with two appetizers: the Shrimp Mofongo and the Truffle Arancini. Let me tell you, anything with plantain is an automatic win in my book, and that Shrimp Mofongo was so good that I almost unintentionally challenged my wife to a slap across the table. The Truffle Arancini, on the other hand, had us contemplating the mysteries of the universe with each heavenly bite. Moving on to the main event, I opted for the Pasta Alla Norma, which was decent but could have been elevated to greatness with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. I mean, who wouldn't want to be offered a cheese shower, right? Meanwhile, my wife danced with delight over her Atlantic Salmon, so much so that she squirreled away the leftovers for her work lunch the next day. But hold your horses, folks, because the pièce de résistance was yet to come. We embarked on a sugar-laden adventure with the White Chocolate Bread Pudding. I swear, adding condensed milk to anything could turn a rock into a gourmet dessert. Despite being as full as a Thanksgiving turkey, we devoured that dessert like we were two ravenous lion cubs pouncing on a juicy meal. In short, this place not only won our hearts but also our taste buds. It's the kind of joint where you'll leave with a smile so big it could rival the Cheshire Cat's. read more

Ever since my husband developed a medical condition, we've had to exclusively dine at restaurants with outdoor seating, which has limited our options. We were pleasantly surprised to discover Latitude 34, a hidden gem tucked away in an outlet shopping area. Upon entering, we informed them that we needed an outdoor table. Katie promptly led us and served us all the way to a great end. As it was our first visit and we had read online reviews beforehand, we had certain expectations. Katie patiently answered our questions and even offered us delicious French bread and olive bread while we waited for our food. We ordered the short rib enchilada and the Polenta lasagna. Although the lasagna was listed as an appetizer, the generous portion left me feeling fully satisfied. Not only did our dishes look appetizing, but they also tasted exquisite. Katie shared with us that the owner is a great chef who had previously worked at another restaurant in Camarillo before deciding to open his own establishment one year ago. I've always believed that chef-owned restaurants offer a unique dining experience, and this visit reaffirmed my belief. The service was superb. A very friendly and professionally skilled young man delivered our food. Throughout the meal, both Katie and the manager checked on us multiple times, which truly enhanced our dining experience. We are definitely planning to return to Latitude 34 to explore the entire menu. It's safe to say we're looking forward to experiencing more of their culinary delights on our next visit. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Latitude 34, and I must say, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. First and foremost, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive and genuinely cared about making sure our food was prepared exactly to our liking. It's refreshing to see a team that takes pride in their work and is dedicated to providing customers with a personalized experience. The highlight, of course, was the food. Each dish was made to order and it was evident that great care went into its preparation. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It's clear that the kitchen takes its craft seriously, and I appreciated the attention to detail in every bite. The ambiance of the restaurant also contributed to the overall enjoyment of our meal. The space was clean, well-maintained, and had a warm, inviting atmosphere. Plus, it wasn't too noisy, allowing for comfortable conversation without having to raise our voices. It struck the perfect balance, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions. I left Latitude feeling satisfied and excited to return. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, welcoming environment with delicious food made to order. I know I will definitely be back for more culinary delights in the near future! read more

My wife and I recently dined at Latitude 34 on a Saturday night. We opted to sit at the bar, which meant no wait for seating, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The ambiance at Latitude 34 struck the perfect balance between upscale and casual. They have ample indoor and outdoor seating options. The highlight of the bar experience was watching the bartender prepare my smoked old fashioned. The smoky aroma filled the air as they smoked my drink right in front of us and the people sitting next to us were even staring in awe! My wife tried the paloma and lychee martini, and she loved them both. We started our meal with the calamari, which was nicely crispy and full of flavor. For the main course, I ordered the brie chicken, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the gnocchi was a delicious accompaniment. The flavors were well-balanced, and every bite was a delight. My wife had the scallops and shrimp with risotto, which was served in a delicious lemon butter sauce. We would highly recommend Latitude 34 for a casual night out or a special occasion. The ambiance, friendly staff, and delicious food and drinks make it a top-notch dining experience. We will definitely be returning to Latitude 34 for another memorable meal! read more

My wife surprised me with a lunch/dinner at this restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. It came to my attention that the head chef had previously worked at Twenty-Eighty Eight, which was one of my favorites. This led me to have high expectations, and I can confidently say that the chef's skills did not disappoint. During our visit, the restaurant was fairly empty since we arrived during a late afternoon hour. Our server was professional and provided excellent recommendations that turned out to be exceptional. I started with the lobster bisque, as I had tasted a poor version at a Costco sampling earlier that day. Unfortunately, the bisque did not meet my expectations, as it lacked flavor and tasted more like a cornstarch soup than lobster bisque. However, the rest of our meal was superb. The short-rib birria tacos were a standout and tasted amazing. Additionally, the Cubano sandwich was incredibly delicious, even though it wasn't authentic. Overall, the meal was exceptional, and I'm delighted that we discovered this restaurant. We now have another go-to spot in Cam for a delicious lunch or dinner. read more

I recently visited Latitude 34, a restaurant located near the shopping outlets in Camarillo. From the outside, it didn't appear to be anything special, but on the inside, it was a chic open space that created a great ambiance. The highlight of the experience was our server, Jazzie. There was a lot of options on their menu (from chicken to steak bites to fish and salads), making it difficult for me to choose what I wanted to order. However, Jazzie took the time to walk us through the dishes and was honest if something wasn't necessarily her favorite. She really sold me on the tender short rib with seasonal veggies and risotto. Typically, restaurants serve short rib with potatoes, but the risotto complemented the dish perfectly. My friend ordered the burrata and lobster bisque, and she couldn't stop raving about how delicious the bisque was. In fact, I was tempted to order some to go! Overall, the food was exceptional, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Latitude 34 to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. read more

We went to Latitude 34 to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We decided to sit at the bar, and the bartender was incredibly attentive and welcoming throughout the entire evening. From the drinks to the appetizer and main course, everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were amazing, the portions were generous, and the ambiance of the restaurant created the perfect atmosphere for a special night out. We were so full by the end of dinner that we decided to skip dessert, but earlier in the evening we had mentioned to the bartender that we were celebrating our anniversary. To our surprise, another server came out with a complimentary ice cream dessert and wished us a happy anniversary. It was such a thoughtful touch that made us feel truly special. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality went above and beyond, making the entire experience memorable. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Latitude 34 is that classy neighborhood spot that's somehow fancy and familiar, like the restaurant version of your friend who shows up overdressed to a barbecue but brings the best side dish. The food? Absolutely on point. The kind of steak that doesn't need a sauce but gets one anyway just to show off. The drinks? Smooth, balanced, and probably responsible for at least three questionable text messages a night. Now... let's talk about the aroma situation. When you walk in, it's giving strong "someone just went to war with a mop bucket" vibes. That unmistakable Fabuloso wave hits your nostrils like a welcome slap... clean, floral, slightly confusing, but somehow comforting. You're sitting there eating ahi tuna while your brain's like, "Is this dinner or deep-clean Saturday?" But weirdly... it works. It's part of the charm. 5 stars. Great food, strong drinks, and the freshest-smelling dining room in Ventura County. read more

My husband and I went here for an evening out last week with a few friends. We each enjoyed a cocktail at Happy Hour at the main bar. I had a glass of pinot Grigio and he had a scotch. Our bartenders were attentive without poaching us. As we joined our companions for dinner, the acoustics in the building are definitely uncomplimentary to the rest of the dining experience, but the food more than made up for it as we yelled over each other. I ordered the seasonal salad (very delicious and not too heavy) along with the coconut shrimp. It was perfect. My husband ordered the Rib-eye, medium rare, with the scalloped potatoes and asparagus. He enjoyed his meal as well, and took home quite a portion. We will be back at a quieter time, and may sit outside. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! Located in the heart of Camarillo, this restaurant offers an incredible dining experience with impeccable service, amazing food, and a warm lively ambiance. Each dish is bursting with flavor and the beignets are a must! The only slight drawback is the dinged-up wooden tables, which, although charming in their rustic appeal, could benefit from the addition of tablecloths to elevate the dining experience further. Nevertheless, with its amazing food, ambiance, and service, would most definitely return! read more

Upon being seated and having our wine opened, we immediately encountered a significant issue with fruit flies swarming our area. Despite our complaint and subsequent relocation to another section of the restaurant, the fruit flies persisted, even landing in our food and beverages. The presence of fruit flies was not limited to our table; they were visibly prevalent around the bar area and throughout the restaurant, affecting other patrons as well. This pervasive issue severely impacted our dining experience. read more

Our dinner here was nothing short of amazing! The service was impeccable--friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. The highlight of the meal was the duck confit, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, paired with a lovely Bordeaux. The ambiance was intimate and inviting, with rustic wooden tables, dim lighting, and a chic Parisian bistro feel. This is the perfect spot for a special night out or a romantic date. Highly recommend! read more

Why has it been a minute since we were here? Silly us. We came for a late lunch and were greeted by their happy hour.

Yay, Latitude 34 once again! read more
