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!

If you're going to hang your hat on the speakeasy aesthetic--dim lights, hushed tones, whispers of…read moreexclusivity--then understand this: you're entering into an unspoken pact with your patrons. We expect a certain standard, a level of care that borders on obsession. So when I catch Evan Williams--respectable, questionable, but barely twelve bucks a bottle--making an appearance behind the bar, it feels like a breach of trust. A quiet betrayal under low lighting. The illusion only works if the details hold up under scrutiny... and that pour? It broke the spell. And then comes the real offense: discovering that your Old Fashioned--the crown jewel of any respectable cocktail program--are built on bottom-shelf, dust-collecting bourbon. That's not just a letdown, it's a slap in the face. A cocktail like that deserves reverence, not shortcuts. And as if to twist the knife, there it was--a massive can of red maraschino cherries sitting shamelessly atop the bar, like some relic from a dive that's given up on finesse. It wasn't just a misstep. It was disrespect. In a place claiming the speakeasy mantle, details like these matter. They're the difference between theater and parody. The cocktails did not warrant the $15 price tag. Moreover, I would have paid more had I know the class of bourbon upfront. What ultimately redeems the space is its ambiance. The low flicker of the fireplace, the soft embrace of worn leather sofas, the curated hum of music floating just above conversation--it's seductive, even soulful. The room itself is small, intimate--the kind of place where you're bound to recognize a face, or at the very least, feel inclined to invite a stranger to share the sofa and maybe a story. And then there's the setting--tucked beneath a historic relic, a basement bar built into the bones of old Americana. The building dates back to the early 1900s, echoing with a past that deserves to be honored, not phoned in. That's exactly why I expected more from the cocktails. A place with this much atmosphere shouldn't fall flat when it comes to what's in the glass. It's a mismatch--a beautiful stage, but a script that doesn't quite rise to meet it.

The cocktails change so it's always fun to come back! I always try to be there when this section opens.

Please use a more conducive packaging option because the little square styrofoam container once again, leaked all over inside the bag! Every time I get the meatballs to go this happens! It doesn't make sense why you choose to send such a saucy-soupy takeout item in a box that has no seal? A round foil to go pan with the lid that you pinch the sides over would solve this problem easily ‍ I guess I should've mentioned it the last couple times I ordered them to go ‍ my bad... Anyway while I definitely recommend dining here, be mindful should you order takeout, and request your food to be sealed well to avoid leaks.

I came in for Taco Tuesday and, honestly, it was a bit disappointing. The setup felt very…read moreunorganized from the start. They ask how many tacos you want before you even get to the taco bar or see the meat options, which made the whole process confusing. They did have a decent selection of meats like chicharrón, potato, asada, barbacoa, lengua, and pastor, but the portions were pretty small. On top of that, they were out of basic toppings like onions and cilantro, which is kind of a big deal for tacos. Sides like rice, beans, or corn on the cob are an extra $3, which didn't really feel worth it given the overall experience. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I probably wouldn't come back specifically for their Taco Tuesday. Happy Cinco de Mayo

Parking was super easy with plenty of spaces, which was a huge plus. The restaurant is right next to the water and had such chic, romantic vibes--perfect for a special occasion.

For my entrée, I got the braised short rib and it was AMAZING--super juicy and full of flavor. I also ordered an espresso martini, which was delicious. I added a photo of our drinks because they were all so good. Dessert was a choice between tiramisu and cheesecake, and both were delicious. After dinner, we walked by the ocean next to the restaurant, which made the night even better. Definitely an amazing Valentine's dinner!

We spent a few hours at the Camarillo Outlets and wanted to try something new before heading home…read more This was one of the choices. Kinda wishing we went a different way on this. We sat outside, which was the best choice because there was a singer and, while she was really good, her amps went up to 11. She was the highlight. I ordered the French onion soup and it was ok. Average. We shared the Dippin Trio, which was ok. A little above average. The dips were tasty and there was enough pita. However, LeeAnn got the eggs Benedict and it was subpar, at best. The eggs were overcooked, which to me is a crime when you order a benny. The point of a benny is the mix of runny yolk and hollendaise sauce. Speaking of the hollendaise, it tasted like it was from a package. The taste was far too sweet and a bit stale...and no lemon to speak of. Just not good. Plus, there was a piece of eggshell under the first egg. Not sure if there was more as that was the first and last bite taken. The service was good. They were kind enough to take the Benedict off the bill, but made it sound like it was a special favor. That's mediocre service as far as I'm concerned. Needless to say, we've no need to go back. Shame.
