    Falafel plate
    Denise A.

    Had a quick dinner did not need reservations on Monday 5:30. The service was excellent with Lindsey. Make sure you ask for her.The food was delicious, I had the lentil soup ,greek salad with the falafel plate. Plenty for two people and even some left overs. The ambiance was nice we had a booth. We will be back again with family.

    We have driven by the Stephen's Grill Ventura location a couple times but never stopped in. We were in Camarillo shopping and found their newest location , and as luck would have it today was their grand opening. The restaurant is lovely with a large bar, a bakery offering , and a lot of tables and booths. We were seated at a nice booth and our waitress Lindsey greeted us right away. She was very good. My wife ordered a glass of wine, and I had water and a soda. We were brought an appetizer plate with cheese and other yummy items compliments of the management since it was the grand opening . A nice touch. We started off with the Saganaki Flambé table side which was amazing. My wife ordered the Stuffed Tomato and Pepper, and I had the Ziti Forno W/ Ricotta. Both dishes came with a salad either Greek or Caesar. We chose one of each. They were both great although the Greek salad was a little better! Both of our meals were very large portions and very very good. At the end of our evening we were given a gift certificate for our next visit ( because it was the grand opening.) We had a great time and will return with friends very soon. Well done everyone!

    I'm going to start off by saying these people giving one star reviews to a new restaurant need to give them time and grace. We came in today (a Thursday around 5) we decided to sit at the bar and had a fantastic time. Our bartender gave great service and she was very friendly. Actually everyone we encountered was friendly. The restaurant is beautiful. I loved seeing the beautiful paintings on the walls. Now to the food! The meat dolmas with lemon sauce were delicious. I would get those over the regular rice ones. House Greek salad and dressing A+ The lamb, hummus, and tzatziki sauce on the gyro plate were great. I'd skip the fries next time and ask for rice. The chicken gyro plate was dry (great flavor but we wouldn't order that again) The margaritas were tasty and they offer non alcoholic wine! Yay for me! They also have happy hour pricing at the bar. We were so full so we skipped on dessert They all looked amazing! The prices are high but you get a ton of food. Overall great first experience!

    This used to be the soup plantation, the inside layout is basically the same, some new colors, an alcohol bar where the salad bar used to be. They now have some murals depicting geographic areas in Greece . Added some blue Colors . I like the white linen table cloths. The staff was friendly and attentive. Initially I thought the prices were steep, but...they have to make a living. Also to he honest the portions are huge, so I was ok with the prices after seeing the portion sizes. We'll be back to try the brunch.

    This former Souplantation has been transformed into a Greek destination with large-scale murals, white tablecloths and a showcase bar. The cavernous space is perfect for large gatherings. Our server was pleasant and very attentive. My Greek salad was huge and beautiful. The gyro meat was hot but not overdone. Tzatziki was one of the best I've ever had. My friend's falafel plate was equally beautiful with fries, pita, tahini, hummus and tzatziki, served with her own Greek salad. She commented that the falafel were a bit dry. Again, the serving portion was generous. I was impressed during my lunch visit and intend to return for dinner.

    Lucas special

    Bonnie and went to Stephen's Grill in Camarillo yesterday around 4:30 in the afternoon and Sat at the bar. The restaurant has lots of full and half booths and there are live plants and flowers, and the walls are decorated with murals of Mediterranean landscapes. Our bartender Jenny was fantastic and made our drinks to perfection. I really liked their glasses, Bonnie had a pomegranate martini, and I had my standard dirty martini. Now for the food. we are familiar with the location in Ventura, and the Camarillo location has what they serve and more. The Camarillo location has more emphasis on the Grill section of their menu. We ordered the Dolmades with meat; the picture we uploaded of them was after we had eaten half of it. The reason I mention that is because it had plenty of Pita bread and Tzatziki sauce served with the Dolmades and there were 6 of them. They were perfect, we loved the lemon dill sauce. We also ordered the Lucas Special which comes with Chicken Souvlaki, Gyro meat and your choice of side and a Greek salad or soup. The Chicken was cooked perfectly and so was the Gyro meat. I like the Chef Kazo sauce that was served with the souvlaki. The traditional souvlaki is olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, Greek oregano and lemon. I think he just added smoked paprika to that and maybe a little red wine vinegar. You don't normally see a red souvlaki. We also ordered the Moussaka, which is kind of a Greek lasagna with eggplant substituted for pasta. It was very good and authentic; they nailed the bechamel sauce (white) and the Kima me domata sauce (red) was very flavorful. The portions were huge and we took enough home for another meal. We are so happy they finally opened and we plan on spending lots of time with Jenny at the bar.

    Gyro Sandwich

    Don't listen to these bad reviews, just try it for yourself. We went on a Tuesday night and the place was empty. We got extraordinary service from Shawn. The wine pours were huge and delicious. And the food was very good. I got the gyro $21, it and the fries & salad it came with were great. See for yourself!

    Stopped in for lunch and the salad was good but the chicken was kind of bland. The food is definitely not worth what they charge. Also the service is extremely slow and the restaurant's layout for some reason feels way too big. It's a big, awkward set up. I will not be returning.

    So happy to have this Geek/ Mediterranean restaurant in town. Fresh and delicious! Can't wait to return and try more dishes. So far the moussaka, lamb chops chicken Parmesan and soup and salads were fantastic. Did not explore but full bar with big variety and drink options Great happy hour spot to try.

    For a newly opened restaurant in Camarillo, this place was operating pretty smooth on Mother's Day. They did not have my reservation for 6 even though I made it via phone a week beforehand. But we were quickly taken care of and the manager put a table together for us. For Sunday, brunch buffet is the only option. I liked the selection of food because it allowed us to sample many brunch items for $30, but the $30 price tag is steep if you have children that don't eat much (no children price) and drinks were not included (except for water and coffee). The ambiance is higher end restaurant with wine glasses on every table, but it stilled felt like the old Souplantation inside due to a lot of noise in an open dining room concept. The buffet area was also very small and cramped, despite its many offerings. We probably won't return to Sunday Brunch since our daughters won't enjoy it much and plan to visit again for lunch or dinner to experience their normal menu.

    Used to come here all the time back in the day, so I was genuinely excited to come back…read more Unfortunately, after going a few times recently, I have to say...it's just not the same. The first time, I thought maybe it was just me. The second time, I figured maybe I caught them on an off day. But after the third visit and the food was still disappointing... hmm. The good: * Great location with plenty of seating * Friendly and welcoming front-of-house customer service The bad: * The food quality has noticeably declined. I understand there's new management, but the difference is hard to ignore. * The shawarma sandwich was especially disappointing. My mouth was still hurting from chewing the shawarma--it was that tough. * If you're going to use store-bought pita bread, at least warm it up before serving it to customers. * Overall, it unfortunately feels like there isn't much attention being paid to the food or the experience. That's really disappointing because there's so much potential here. There's an old saying: "Whatever work or business you do, do your best." I think that applies here. I'm giving it one star for now, but honestly, this place has a lot of potential. I may come back down the road and give it another shot...and hopefully, I'll be able to update the rating. We shall see.

I've…read morebeen to this plaza many times I've been to all the stores next to it and used to come here when it used to to be another business. To be totally honest, I was a little bit intimidated by how the process works. But I assume caught on that. It was almost like a chipotle kind of style place. I decided to go with a bowl. I was able to choose between three types of different bases, and I went with the basmati rice and the couscous was able to choose a couple of salad options as well. Luckily, we were able to mix and match since I can never make a decision on getting All three types of greens that they have. Then moved over to the hummus section and I was able to get the three most popular hummus flavors, which I actually don't remember what I got. I know one of them was an olive flavored one and another one was a little more spicy. Then over to the protein side of things, you can mix up to two different choices, and some of the other options there is an upgrade fee. Then removed over to the toppings and these are all unlimited and so I was able to get feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, purple cabbage, everything was so endless and amazing At the very end, you're able to choose two different kind of sauces and at the very end, my bowl was actually pretty heavy in weight but most importantly it was very delicious Thank you to the team member here that was very helpful and walked me through the process. I think I might've been too overwhelmed. Otherwise I might've just opted for the burger which I may still have to try next time. The sweet potato fries also look very good and I will have to try those next time for sure. There's a ton of parking spots right outside. I can't get a little bit busy here so she'll be so many different food options but generally, I haven't really had an issue with finding a spot.

    Food is great for the first couple of bites, but the gets extremely salty. Is anyone's else's food…read morelike this too? We had the ultimate shawarma bowl
