You walk in and the ambiance is that of an old fine dining restaurant, a little dated but something you'd see in a 90's romance film. They have linen table cloths, silverware, glassware, linen napkins, and a nice wooden bar area. The service was very nice, but unfortunately that's where the positives end. Not that anything was bad, but nothing was that good either. I ordered a Kobe burger, medium rare with fries. What I got was a medium well to well in some parts burger, no cheese, and shoestring fries. The wife ordered a turkey melt no onions, and received a turkey melt with extra onions. So much so that after removing the onions, the entire sandwich still tasted like onions. The wife did like her house pear salad, I on the other hand was not a fan of anything. My water went empty a bite into my meal and remained empty until I had finished. The butter cake came out in a heartbeat, a microwaved mushy mess with an oddly flavored vanilla ice cream atop. The entire dessert tasted like a butterscotch candy. Having read the reviews, and my initial impression upon walking in, I wanted so bad to like this place. Unfortunately it fell short of expectations. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.
Simply amazing ! We had reservations for dinner at Sheila' Wine Bar this evening and were greeted by Pablo and his lovely wife Berta. What a beautiful couple who make the ambiance and environment feel like you are part of their family. A true blessing. Pete who is also family was our server and is always a pleasure and amazing server. We started with wine and Bruschetta and the choices were spectacular. The Rutherford Cab and the Rutherford Chardonnay were both excellent choices. The wine selection is stellar and provides something for everyone. The Bruschetta is the best of any we have had and the presentation is worthy of mention. For our entrees my wife had the Halibut special which was beautifully prepared and presented. The temperature and taste of both entrees were impeccable. I selected the filet mignon entree prepared medium rare and the dish was stellar and prepared perfectly and tasted that much better. I also had a second glass on the cab which was delicious. We also had an opportunity to visit with Andrew, their youngest son, who is definently a well rounded and career focused young man with a solid work ethic, fantastic social skills, confidence and a focal point on becoming a physician and I have no doubt this young man will go far. We spoke with Pablo and Berta who are always glowing with love and gratitude as the restaurant was packed, yes a full house and the family makes it a point to visit at each table and show love to the patrons who are all part of their family. Morty, the bartender, also checks in at the tables to see how everyone is doing and see how the wine and cocktails are tasting. This is a class act. Pablo and Berta have three sons, Andrew, Austin and Ivan and they are all such amazing men. The family brings a new experience to those seeking more than just a night out dining as they give their all and make you feel so welcomed and loved you don't want to leave. You must stop by Sheila's Wine Bar and give this experience a try! The food, service, ambiance and overall experience will keep you coming back again and again. Highly recommended!
Wandered into Sheila's Place after wanting to try something 'new' in Camarillo. We were invited to seat anywhere and were attended to almost immediately with water. The server asked us if we wanted bread and then before we could answer because we took a moment -- he said- I think you do-- it's really good. And proceeded to go get us some hot bread and a delicious balsamic, olive oil, garlic and Parmesan dip that had been blended together...the bread was nothing special- but that dip certainly was. The bread was just a delivery system for a delectable flavor. Grilled Shrimp appetizer came with 4 perfectly cooked shrimp on a very elegantly arranged plate. The pork chop with capers served on polenta with two different sauces, including a chili oil was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked pork chop, which is highly appreciated-- with a delicious flavor-- the polenta was creamy deliciousness and a good foil for the pork. It was a Thursday evening and almost every table was filled. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu.
I wish i could give more stars! One of the most amazing meals we ever had. Came in the day before mothers day without reservations, they sat us anyways despite having a full book. Service was amazing, it was so romantic inside! I wish i got pics of the main course, the seafood vodka pasta is to die for! HIGHLY REC placing a reservation before you go. Cant wait to go back!
We love Sheila's. The food is fresh, hot, made to order. The wine selection and advice is excellent. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable....and quiet this is hands down our favorite special occasion spot in Camarillo
Prior to going here I checked out their website and the menu looked very appealing. The prices were not published and based on some of the previous reviews it indicated that the prices were on the higher end, but I didn't mind if it was worth it. So I went in with high expectations due to all the rave reviews. This exterior is unassuming but when you walk in it's as if you're transported to a different place. With the dim lighting and a view of the wall filled with wine bottles it's definitely a sight to take in. I read some reviews that they found it outdated but personally I loved the decor. Maybe I'm old fashioned but it gave me a feeling of what a high end restaurant should look like. We were greeted and seated shortly after walking in. For mid week they were actually quite busy with more than half of the tables occupied. Our server was informative on their ingredients as well as where they obtain their bread. We ordered several items to share. The Blue Claw Crab Cakes was good, you can taste the flavors of the crab and the roasted pepper aioli sauce complimented it nicely. The Fig & Prosciutto pizza was ok, the sweetness of the figs overpowered all the other ingredients' flavors that it felt like I was eating toast with jam most of the time. The Alaskan Halibut was slightly overcooked and mild in taste so the sauce was definitely needed to give it some flavor. Overall everything was ok but nothing really Wowed me, so for me the high price point didn't match the experience.
We went for the first time last night. It was incredible! The crab cakes were so yummy and not too large. The bread was warm and our server brought me olive oil and balsamic that they make in house. I had their salmon which was really incredible. We ended the meal with butter cake. Again yummy. The wine was incredible. Will definitely be back.
If your looking to have a romantic evening with the one you Love, or just to have some of the finest food in Ventura County. Sheila's the place! My wife had the Chicken Marcel, I had the special, Osso Bocco, both were exceptional, the crab cakes were amazing as well. Sheila's has become my absolute favorite place to take my wife out to.
From the ambiance to the warm and welcoming friendly service to the perfectly timed food with superior taste, textures, temperatures and presentations, Sheila's knows what they're doing! We would highly recommend for a date night, any celebration, or lunch. We enjoyed the Hanger Steak, Spicy Italian Pizza, a wedge salad, appetizers and Malbec wine. All of the ingredients tasted clean and high quality. If you're in Camarillo, you need to try Sheila's.
We were a party of 10 with a reservation to arrive at 7:30 (with restaurant closing at 8!). Not a problem - our table was waiting for us when we arrived. They were short staffed so we had the manager, Pablo, as our server. He couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Service was outstanding throughout. All of the orders came out together and correct - not a small feat with a party this size and everyone altering the way the food was to be prepared. My wife and I shared the wedge salad to start ($17). Huge portion and loaded with the typical wedge goodies. Delish! I ordered the salmon pasta special for my entree ($45). Also a huge portion loaded with large shrimp, lots of salmon, olives, tomato, and more with a delicious red sauce. Fantastic dish. And way too much to eat at one sitting (reheated pasta dish for dinner tomorrow!). My wife had the chicken Toscana ($35). Grilled chicken on a pasta with marinara and cream sauce. Excellent! Excellent food, service and ambiance. A bit on the pricy side but worth it. read more
My husband and I saw the good reviews and decided to give it a try. The ambience was great and we went about an hour after it opened so it was quiet. The staff was nice and unfortunately that's where the good ends. My husband ordered the Kobe burger, medium rare and ended up with medium well. He said the burger tasted like a frozen patty. I ordered the turkey melt with no onions and it came with extra onions. The one good thing about my plate was the house pear salad. It was really tasty and the poached pears were delicious. The butter cake we had for dessert, came out so fast it was if all they had to do was get it from the freezer and heat it up. It was not good. Suffice to say we will not be going back and we were left wondering why there were so many good reviews. read more

Had a drink here two weeks ago before having dinner at another restaurant close by. Saw the food coming out and almost cancelled our reservation to eat here, but I can't do that. So, we decided to make a date to come back for dinner - what a great decision!! Let me start with the owners: Pablo and Bertha. They were so welcoming and great conversationalists. Passionate about their business! Alright, the food, umm, oh yeah!! We had the duck breast and the garlic Caesar salad. Have not had duck like this since we were in Quebec City Canada - amazing. Tender, not too greasy, and very flavorful. The salad: nice crispy lettuce with crumbled croutons and a hint of bacon (can be so overpowering, so glad it was the right amount)! We will be regulars here as the menu selections are extensive (I'm not talking Cheesecake crazy!), the service is fantastic, and the wine selections (well, the place is a wine bar)! Check them out!! read more

It was a Thursday night around 6:30 pm, and the place had only 2-3 tables filled. The atmosphere was romantic with soft lighting; however, if there was soft music, at the end of the night, it was quiet, awkward, and you knew your stay was over. You can hear the children at the other tables and adults conversing over wine. I was really excited about the food, but it didn't leave me with a memorable meal. Although the flavors were decent, the fish was a bit overcooked, coconut sauce was watery, and duck was on a bed of flavorless mush. The wine selection was great, and recommendations from the waiter were spot on. Overall, it was a splurge meal, and at these plate prices, it didn't leave me wanting more. read more
I thought the wait staff were great and the food was good. The pizza was very light and nice. And the dessert was tasty and made in house. Everything was aesthetically pleasing. They also brought some water for the dog. Very kind and thoughtful people. I recommend this spot. read more

Oh my gosh! I had been told by friends I would love this restaurant well it could not have been any better. Food was incredible; service was above and beyond!! First time in a while that I could actually have a conversation with the people I was with; great ambiance. Such a perfect evening. Peter was our food server but he was more than just a food server. Gave wonderful advice on wine to select and perfect help on selecting dessert! I am going back for sure. If you are a salmon lover as I am it is definitely a terrific. Again everything was perfect. read more

What a hidden Gem! I came here for lunch on Friday afternoon. I absolutely loved the decor. Really reminds me of a wine bar. I don't drink anymore but I know my wine very well and their wine list is amazing. They also have some great beers to choose from. Now I know I can take my boyfriend here. Service was above and beyond. I believe the owners were the ones taking care of us. (Very friendly couple!) We wanted to split the Italian sub and peach salad. They brought our food out split already. It's always a nice touch when the kitchen does it for you without asking. We also started off with the Ahi Tartare. Add avocado! Food was AMAZING. I will definitely be back! read more

Revisited Sheila's Place and I'm disappointed that it's been so long since we have been in. My husband is Celiac (gluten free) and dairy free. They took amazing care of him. The chef came out to discuss the menu and offered to modify anything to fit his needs. He ended up with an amazing salmon dish with a great Asian sauce. We split the shrimp appetizer (perfectly cooked) and Greek salad (fresh and lots of toppings). I opted for the duck breast, which was perfectly cooked. I finished with the butter cake, which I would order again and again. It was perfect. read more
