    Met some friends for drinks and entertainment last night. The service was great they eat checking on us making sure our party was good and if we needed anything. We didn't feel overlooked or ignored. The ambiance was minimal but fancy the artwork on the walls were so pretty, each time I looked over I imagined myself at the waterfall in the painting on the walls. My experience at onyx was very inviting and loved the live music. The singer has a great voice. I will be returning again. Thank you for a wonderful experience at your establishment.

    Pork chop and turkey meatball sandwich

    We came here on a Friday night, nice live band inside. We ordered their pork chop and turkey meat ball sandwich. I really recommend their pork chop which came with asparagus and risotto. A very nice atmosphere!

    Sweet potato gnocchi.

    It's all tasty. The appetizers, the main dishes, and the desserts. I don't partake in wine, so I can't comment on that. But, there are a lot of options. The chef combines excellent flavors and uses super interesting ingredients. The wait staff is repetitively kind, thorough, and very pleasant. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. Glass and wood. Art on the walls that changes a bit. Clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this spot. You'll appreciate it.

    Mushroom bucatini (vegan) it looks prettier than the picture since I was eating when I took it.
    Jenn W.

    We went there last night. Food was great per usual. Had goat cheese stuffed dates which were incredible. Then I had a mushroom bucatini that was vegan and beyond delicious. We learned that the chef has similar dietary restrictions as me so that was incredible. And finally, even though I was stuffed we had a the apple crumble with coconut ice cream. Oh my! Thank you for an incredible dinner!

    VERY HAPPY mother's DAY!!
    Raven W.

    Went here for their Mother's Day special - BEST TIME EVER!! Band played Neil Diamond, my FAVORITE! Food was FANTASTIC and great price, too. Very rare that I have leftovers to take home, but hubby and I both cleared our plates! Location was 5 minutes from our home... so we plan to return many times. Special thanks to our server Mason... he was sooo cool and calm and professional for all the customers! Wonderful experience on our very special day! THANK YOU!!1

    Salmon cakes ( limited time special)

    Absolutely delicious!!! We couldn't stop picking off of eachothers plates. Everything on the menu is delicious! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Even got to meet the wonderful Chef herself, she is so kind and passionate about her work. Everyone must try!! They also had live music with a young woman who played piano and sung which was very nice I appreciated that we were all still able to socialize without having to yell over the table! Please try!

    Had a lovely evening at Onyx Bistro and am glad Camarillo has this cute wine and tapas bar. The vibes are cool, good service, and a great wine and food menu. I love that despite this location being in a busier shopping center they've done a pretty good job of making it intimate and cozy on the patio. You really wouldn't realize you're in a busier shopping center with the patio being off to the side and a cute little fire pit and tables. The inside is a lot of high top tables and they had live music on a Sunday evening. Definitely comfortable vibes. Been here a few times and the crowd seems to be a little on the older side so hoping my review will help broaden the audience. The menu is pretty extensive with beers and wine. No real cocktails but it's a wine bar so definitely get the wine. The food menu is really great too! Lots of tapas and shared bites to pick from. As far as main dishes go they have some nice fancy options like risotto and different seafood options. Pretty good variety if you ask me. It's usually rare for a wine bar to have food, let alone an entire stellar menu. I've met the owner and she is super nice and personable. Honestly the staff are all very nice and welcoming. Good service overall and people who seem passionate about this business. A staff that stood out to me was Sophie, she gave great recommendations on her favorite foods here and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She made us want to come back for a proper dinner. For wine my friends and I appreciate the variety. I'm not a big wine drinker so I usually go with their moscato because I like something sweet. Here it's perfect. My friend got a chilled white wine that she was also very happy with. Every food bite I've had here has been super tasty. My favorite is definitely their hummus plate. Great flavored hummus and the veggies and charred pita bread bites are perfect for dipping. We tried the fig jam and bacon pizza with arugula which was also tasty and filling. Good potato skins and salads. Happy hour is pretty good too! I like that the hours are extended and don't end at 4/5pm like most places. They had dollar off beers and some $10 wine glasses. If you are in Camarillo or just generally looking for a really solid wine bar with food in the 805 then this spot is surely for you. Passionate owner and nice staff, it's easy to want to keep giving them my business.

    Warm apple crisp
    Tommy L.

    Been here twice. Once for a large party celebration and once for happy hour with a friend. I dig the vibes here. Especially on a nice day, sitting outside, with a refreshing rose in your glass. For food, the flatbread has been consistently good the both times I've tried time. However, the wild mushroom bucatini can be improved--I find it a bit too salty. My friend agreed as well. For dessert, the warm apple crisp is so good. It's something I would order again. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Parking in the lot. Would come back again.

    Goat Flatbread
    Sana T.

    Great menu, great taste, great staff! We went for a quick girls dinner and this place was perfect! The wine selection is great and the everyone loves the good! I got the GOAT flatbread and it was delicious!

    Just delish
    Terry H.

    First time here! WOW! The waitress was so good. Poor wine like a pro. Attentive to details and very knowledgeable. A little classy, modern spot.

    Wine on the Outdoor Patio
    Alyssa A.

    What a hidden gem! Our friend kept recommending them to us, and we finally made it over. Such a great dining experience that we wish we had tried it sooner! Right off the bat, Onyx gave off an elegant but casual vibe - perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. We got to sit outside on the patio - perfect weather, great sunset, and a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and try some of their delicious foods. All of their food is delicious! The Flying Pig flatbread was my favorite - just the right cheese to meat ratio with that perfect crunch to the crust. While their Margherita pizza is also great, it couldn't even hold a candle to the Flying Pig. Love caprese in general, and these skewers were light and full of flavor. The brisket potato skins were also a big winner at our table. Also loved all their wine options. I love a good glass of sparkling wine, and they definitely have a great selection. Next time we return, we definitely want to come and try out their happy hour! Heard they also do live music on the weekends, so really want to check that out as well. Highly recommend you stop on by to enjoy all the wonderful food and ambiance they have to offer!

    Bucatini
    Maya M.

    I really appreciate their vegan options. Everything we tried was phenomenal. I tried the vegan empanadas, brussel sprouts, bucatini, and peach crisp. Love that they have live music on select days/times as well. Highly recommend!!

    Wine, ambiance...
    Michael L.

    This place is so chill! The music, the vibe, the atmosphere, all create a sense of relaxation and belonging.... And of course, if the food and wine weren't simply exquisite, we wouldn't be here in the first place. Come and escape, as dreams come into focus, at Onyx!

My friend and I opted to sit inside at their high top table which was a nice way to scope out the restaurant. I love that everything here is customizable! You can create your own custom charcuterie board with all your favorite pairings, then explore their impressive menu of fresh salads, melty paninis, and shareable appetizers made for lingering conversations. We shared the custom charcuterie board and avocado crostini's. Both were delicious and perfect for sharing. As for the drinks, whether you're a fan of sipping wine by the glass or sharing a bottle, they have an impressive list of local and foreign wines to pick from. Also, for those of you that aren't huge wine drinkers, I was also impressed to learn that they always have at least 10 beers rotating here. We started with Chardonnay and Moscato and ended with some Southern California beers, we agreed their selection was great. As for the staff, everyone was super welcoming and attentive! We came on a busy weekday night as they had a wine tasting event going on yet the staff still managed to get everyone served promptly and drinks were always refilled. Definitely a place where you initially come for the wine, but stay for the vibes. I'd say overall this spot truly is a 10/10 - 5 stars. The food was delicious, great menu, nice staff and a good selection of wines. I'd even come back for lunch just to grab a panini and to sit on their patio. If I had to give one critique, I would say that the spot is just a little pricey. So this wouldn't be a regular stop per se, but I loved it so much that I honestly will be back soon and keep it in mind for a special girls night, etc. Also in fairness there is a way to come here and have it be cheaper, maybe just one glass of wine and a sandwich or app but we all know I go big lol. Great spot, will be back.

Just so unwelcoming and rude. Then yes, because we did the Camarillo family walk tonight my daughter was with us so she asked if she was 21. I said no she's not. She said well she can't be in here you can sit on the patio. Understandable. But the initial way we were welcomed after regularly spending our money here is mind blowing. I regularly recommend them for charcuterie. I definitely no longer will. After reading any of the 1 star reviews I see I'm not the only one who felt this way.

    Great way to cap off a day along the Ventura County coast! I haven't been to Ottavio's since they…read morehad a location in Thousand Oaks in the 80s. Man! That was a HH the likes of which will never be seen again. But I digress...TODAY is today! Great, private parking lot with easy in/out. We came in for a lovely dinner and got just that. Seated immediately and in a comfy booth along the wall, perfect for people watching. SO. MANY. PEOPLE! I wasn't expecting a restaurant to be so full on a Tuesday night, but when you're as good as Ottavio's you develop a loyal following of locals who enjoy their time here. Many celebrations were obviously being had in just our little portion of the restaurant. There are multiple rooms, accommodating various sized parties, and the hot, delicious Italian faire just kept coming. Fresh, warm bread was delivered with our water and we dove into that doughy deliciousness strait away. Hubs went with a 50/50 plate of spaghetti and cheese ravioli with a meat sauce and added meatballs. I snuck a bite of the meatballs and they were very good, as was the sauce. I opted for the Tortellini Silvana, which was described as cheese tortellini w/sauteed chicken, fresh spinach, basil and sun dried tomato cream sauce. It was FABulous! Light and delicate sauce with full flavor. A generous portion, I took about 1/2 home! Our entrees each came with a choice of soup or salad. Hubs chose Italian Wedding and I went with Minestrone. (Side note: I knew well and good I would be having 2 soups, so I wanted to try both. ;-D) Both were made from scratch and delicious! I was impressed with how fluid the staff worked along side one another. Drinks then food then boxing and the check and - voila! - table turned and on to the next group, all while maintaining a welcoming and pleasurable attitude and friendly service. We are sure to have another meal here, next time we're craving old school Italian, homemade, handed down family recipes in Camarillo. Cheers! "CC"

The Belvedere salad was the disappointment of the evening. Picuters speak volumes. Iceberg lettuce was fine as it is the norm to cut costs. The insult is clearly the single half slices of the one cheese and three meats. The one black olive, one green olive and one pepper made for a good laugh.
