    Turkey Melt
    Lou H.

    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.

    The art work in the restaurant as well as decor is superb

    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!

    Pork chop on a bed of polenta with arugula

    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!

    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.

    Butter cake

    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.

    Osso Bocco

    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.

    Hanger Steak with herbed potatoes and fresh vegetables (all perfectly cooked!)

    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.

    I had some 'stall' time and so loving wine the way I do-I finally got to the Wine Closet. We walked…read morein and immediately felt invited, comfortable plus the staff confirmed these feelings being very friendly and cordial. The inside was adorned with crates, pictures etc that connected with my taste for wine. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and felt 'at home' very quickly. A flight or two ordered and in front of us in no time. Our food order came soon after (the Lucky Goat was very good). There were many wines to choose from, even after the flight it was a few more glasses of various blancs, one rose really stood out and of course that little diva, pinot noir. (I stick to CA wines these days since the industry has been strained). The Wine Closet is a very nice place to relax, select and enjoy wine and good food. You can order to be served any way you want (M.L., Camarillo said in an earlier post:..."everything here is customizable!" I will definitely be back to The Wine Closet-well worth it.

    Are we the only ones who feel like the vibe at Wine Closet has changed?…read more We're fairly new customers and had a couple of really great experiences in the beginning. There was a bartender who had been there for a long time, and she made the place feel welcoming and gave it that community feel we really liked. Unfortunately, our last three visits have felt very different. The younger bartender we've had recently has made us feel more like we're inconveniencing her by being there. She seems to spend more time talking with the kitchen staff than engaging with the customers at the bar, and that welcoming atmosphere just hasn't been there. It's disappointing because we really wanted Wine Closet to become part of our regular "Parents' Night Out" rotation, but at this point, we'll probably be looking elsewhere.

Pretty large sit-down spot and it was decently busy, even for a Monday night, but not overly packed. We were able to find parking pretty quickly and my colleague and I were seated right away. Ambiance of the place is pretty welcoming...it has a spacious and comfy feel to it. Colleague had the linguini with clams and I opted for the lobster ravioli (hard for me to ever turn this item down when I see it on a menu...I'm a huge FRIENDS fan, so IYKYK). The ravioli was great...pretty piping hot so I had to take my time eating it after that first bite =/ My coworker really enjoyed the linguini as well and we were both very satisfied for the rest of the drive home afterword. The place has a pretty extensive menu, so I would like to come back a few more times to try other items. Maybe with a bigger group so we can all order something different and go smorgasboard. :) Parking - Decent sized parking lot. Shouldn't be too hard to get parking, even on busy days, I imagine. Service - Staff was super friendly and were quick on refilling our drinks and provided us with more than enough bread as we requested. Would DEFINITELY come back...gotta see if this place is a chain.
