This place advertises Malts so I took my elderly mother who just had knee replacement surgery to get one. A worker rudely told that the are served next door when the sign clearly says malts. We were served malts here at The Parlor 2 weeks ago. We had to go next door which was full of kids and a long line. To be honest The Parlor looks more like a storage area for Coastal Cone. Great place to go if you want to be treated rude and get something to eat from a storage room read more

I wish I would've started my eating adventure here, it's easy and delicious and the entire family enjoyed it. We went here the last day of cmvacay, sad face. This is right next to Coastal Cone, it also serves ice cream and desserts along with burgers, tenders, and fries and the alike. Seating is limited for such a busy spot. Prices were touristy average but our kids loved it all. Should've really just stuck to eating here the entire week, you can't go wrong here. When we go back this will be a very common stop for us!!! read more

Stupidest staff members ever!!! They offer vanilla, chocolate and strawberry shakes. I asked for half strawberry and half chocolate and the lady at the register said "I don't think we can do that but let me go ask the manager" so she goes and asks the manager and the manager says she is correct and they can't do that. I am so sick of spending my money at places like this where the staff members have no clue about customer service. I took my money and went next door to the ice cream shop.

We walked into the Parlor after a poor experience at The Greek place next door. We were seated, given bread, and ignored at the Greek spot. At the Parlor we were warmly greeted, food came out quickly and nice and warm, and quality of food was superb! The tri-tip sandwich, fish and chips, and hot dog we collectively ordered did not disappoint. This will be my Ventura Harbor Village food spot from now on when I want to dine with a harbor view along the strip there. read more

Our family decided to eat at The Parlor during or visit to the harbor the day before Labor Day. They serve a variety of food, drinks, and desserts which are all at a great price. There is seating either inside or outside where there are tables and chairs with umbrellas. We opted to sit outside. My sister ordered the fish burger special and she said it was ok because the fish was too thin so she tasted more of the lettuce and bun but she loved the fries. One of my kids ordered a burger with fries and my son and I ordered the chili dog and a drink. My son loved his burger and fries. The chili dog was absolutely delicious and satisfied the craving I have been having for one. It's a 100% beef hotdog and was topped perfectly! The fries, I can not say enough about the fries. They were soooo good that I could not stop eating them! We will eat here again in the future! read more

Stopped by for a snack while killing time waiting to board the ferry to Channel Islands. Bagel with cream cheese (typical), and my friend was craving french fries (basic). They didn't have much variety when we came here, not sure if it was because we were so early or they're just not stocked. Pastry case was empty, the muffins looked familiar (like Costco) and were individually Seran wrapped. Sodas, juices, and water were not cold. Decent little place to stop by to grab a quick snack. Just disliked the amount of flies inside the restaurant, despite the cool condiment contraption station, the flies still managed to get inside the stuff. read more

Nothing like a good hotdog by the harbor to bring back some good old nostalgia! I happened to be in the area and had had this place bookmarked for awhile. I was pleasantly surprised with how welcoming and laid back the atmosphere was. Also, a huge perk was that you could smell fresh waffle cones being made for the ice cream parlor come from the grill area. I was greeted by a young man who was very nice and pleasant, I ordered a Chicago dog and some fries and a drink. While the meal sounds pretty meager, it was one of the best meals I've had to bring back my childhood of living around Oxnard. The hotdog was cooked to perfection, my fries were crisp and hot. It was a heavenly experience, and the staff was very friendly. Not to mention the view of the harbor is a huge perk to help relax on a warm summer day. If you're looking for a good place to chill and have a view of the harbor, look no further than here. read more

Way, way, way disappointed. With all the hype about this place I now know people don't know what is good food. I ordered a Pineapple Burger but on the receipt it was listed as an Aloha Burger. The burger was dry and the size was what you would buy as a frozen patty pack at Costco, Smart N Final, etc. The pineapple had zero taste. The fries were most definitely frozen. Some of the fries had an air gap inside with little content of potato. The 12 oz. cup of runny milk shake was NOT worth $6.50. Carl's Jr and even McDonald's has better milk shakes than this. The Parlor is connected with Coastal Cone so although we ordered food at The Parlor the milk shake was made at Coastal Cone (the cup had Coastal Cone on it). Two burgers, onion rings, French fries, moca blast and a milk shake was $36.95. NOT worth it. Eat elsewhere. There is Five Guys with hand made fresh burgers less than 5 miles away. There is also a Red Robbins which has excellent trendy burgers. read more

Sandwich was okay, wish the piece of fish was meatier instead of a thin battered filet because it felt like there was more lettuce on the sandwich than fish...

As I sit here in the beautiful Ventura harbor, I'm wondering to myself why I just spent 50 dollars on food here. The chicken strips quality was worse than McDonald's, the hotdog was cold and served on a brioche bun. Everything was flavorless and poor quality. I will never return. I should have known something was up when it was completely empty on a Sunday at 12:30. I'll go to Margaritaville next time. Probably would have been the same price but with amazing food. read more

I accidentally went into this place looking for the ice cream parlor next door. I saw a good looking hot dog on the menu (I love hotdogs). So I fell for it and bought a chili cheese dog and a coke. Total was Around $9. Hot dog was nothing special, but the most frustrating Thing was that they want to charge .75 cents for a refill. These days, I think it's so ridiculous to charge for refills on soda which is one of the cheapest things a restaurant purchases from the whole seller. They also use all plastic silverware, drink ware, as well as plastic plates. This is lazy. Wash your dishes and get with the times. I won't be back. read more

Parking: Paid lot, $1/hour for a max of 4 hours and then I think it was $10 for the day. Scan the QR code in the parking lot and pay on your phone. Seating: They have 2 patios (front and back) which are both dog friendly. We sat on the front patio which is fully enclosed and had the host not referred to it as a patio, I would have assumed it was just part of the indoor restaurant at a glance. Dog Friendly: My biggest gripe with this place and the reason I will not return is while they allow dogs, they require them to be stuck under the table, against the wall. Basically out of sight like some kind of vampire gremlin that can't see the sun. Their tables are not set up to have a whole dog underneath, especially if you have 2 or more people at the table. There is not enough room for feet, the dog, dog's water, and dog's food. What made this even more annoying is, 1) it wasn't busy on the front patio at all, and 2) the table diagonal from us had a toddler rolling around on the floor in the center of the walkway. Service: The host was very nice and friendly. Our server was polite but seemed to have the personality of a napkin. He hovered for the drink order, quickly returned for a food order, and right after ordering an appetizer, immediately returned to see if we wanted anything else. Already annoyed with the dog situation, I told him no (which was not the original plan). He snatched up the menus and couldn't be found until he brought the check. Food: I had the $20 medium crab dip appetizer which was okay, nothing memorable but nothing bad. The star was my dog's Surf N Turf dish with angus beef, wild cod, rice, and veggies for $13. I thought the price for hers was reasonable based on the quantity. They had several other options on the dog menu as well. One other thing to note, they call their fries "freedom fries" - maybe another reason not to return, if I needed one.

We ended up buying a bottle of wine at dinner instead and I'm pretty sure that was the economical choice plus it gave me peace of mind. I will say - the plating of the food is strange. Giant plates for small portions never really sits well with me. The kitchen's "thinly sliced" waygu steak was also off putting visually.

Wasn't mad that I tried it but would not order again. Wagyu Top Sirloin 12 oz. ($48) was very good despite the poor slicing. The creamy mushroom sauce was perfect to add some flavor but not overpower the protein. The Pepperoni Pizza ($18) was decent for my son. My daughter planned to order the Seafood Pasta until she saw all of her favorite things combined: Mac and cheese, bacon and pizza - the Mac and Cheese Pizza ($21) was honestly top notch. It wasn't overly heavy, the depth of flavor was great and it's extremely tasty. The spicy aioli was top notch. Overall, a good experience at the Cave. I recommend giving it a try.

The biscuits and gravy and potatoes were perfect just enough gravy and just enough seasoning on the potatoes

Hubby not a fan of chile sauce, so Carson made sure he got some "buffalo". The ranch, to DIE for! I had the mussels....super tasty, but they do need more juice/sauce, ESPECIALLY to dip the toasted sourdough into! We had perfectly crisped fries to share....... Carson was AWESOME! Great personality, made sure we weren't left alone too long, but didn't hover either! All in all a great experience for the start to our long weekend!

Rumfish y Vino

One would never guess what is behind the simple Rumfish signage at the end of Main on Palm. My…read morefirst trip was years ago and I've been back several times since. It is great for any special occasion and offers inside and outside dining. I suggested this restaurant to my out of town guests to celebrate my dear friend's birthday. Rumfish did not disappoint. The Spring weather is beautiful in Ventura so we sat outside. Service is prompt and casual. It was crowded even on a Thursday evening, but the outdoor area is spacious. Everything from appetizers to dessert is fresh and first class. Seafood options are plentiful and seasoned perfectly. The only downside is that parking is limited - only one handicapped spot for two busy restaurants. No parking signs prevent street parking up Palm.

Rumfish y Vino for Mother's Day…read more We made a reservation a week before and only had to wait about 10 minutes past our time, which honestly was not bad for such a busy day. The restaurant has a really cute Mediterranean/Italian vibe with gorgeous lemon trees and comfy patio seating. It was chilly outside, but the heaters made it comfortable. Staff was friendly, just very busy because of the holiday. Food took around an hour, but understandable for Mother's Day. The food was excellent. I got the flatbread with apricot jam and bacon, and it was such a good mix of sweet and savory with fresh arugula on top. Definitely recommend it. My boyfriend got the wagyu burger medium with fries and everything was cooked perfectly and served hot. Other people at our table got shrimp and corn, fish tacos, and burgers, and everything looked really good. Great place, will come back

First, we walked in and no one greeted us or acknowledged us for about 10 minutes. Our food came out fairly quickly, that was the next disappointment. Food was incredibly bland and it was pretty much just a bowl of Kale with a few pieces of overcooked cauliflower. I went with another colleague who ordered the same thing and he also agreed that he would never return. There was only one other table, it was quiet and overall disappointing.

Beer Pressure…read more Classic American Pub located in Ventura that features over one hundred beers on tap and classic American comfort foods in a surprisingly family-friendly environment. The Good: * Beyond all the beers on tap, they also have a full bar. * Service was friendly and pretty good overall. * Secret menu for both food and drink. Shhhh...! * Their wings were fantastic! You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast. There is some street parking available, as well. The Ugly: * They had a lot of beers that were out of commission, including several that I was pretty excited to try. =/ Conclusion: Great spot to get your suds and spuds!

Sad to see this establishment close. Best wings, fries and burgers in Ventura. Great atmosphere.read more
