    Beef Wellington was amazing
    Shauna N.

    My brother was dying to go here and because of the distance I was very reluctant. But it was well worth the travel. The food was spectacular. The beef Wellington melted in your mouth. The sides were all fresh. I liked the bake Bree. It was perfect. I highly recommend the key lime pie!

    Beef wellington

    CF Food Kitchen was amazing! Sylvia was incredibly kind and lovely. She made our night out feel so special. The food was fantastic as well we did the three course meal and the beef wellington was cooked perfectly along with its flavorful sides. Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu and get my fill of the fruit tarts!

    First off, outstanding service here, such personable staff. It was very clear that there were mostly regulars as well that enjoyed not only the food, but the interaction with the waitress. It really is a hidden gem, super small parking lot but plenty of street parking. It was definitely classy and had a nice vibe despite the area. I would definitely return. Fresh, tasty, and affordable. I love finer dining places that accommodate to everyone!

    I can't believe it's been 8 years going to CF Food Kitchen. The BEST hidden gem restaurant. I've tried just about everything on the menu. I usually go in and tell Silvia to surprise me. This time I felt like the pecan crusted chicken but added a side of corn & crab cream. I've never had it and my friend says she loves it and will order whatever entree that has it. I REALLY hope they make it a regular item. Silvia always welcomes us with a wonderful greeting and warm hug. She makes you feel like you are her favorite customer. Always remembers your likes and loves. The place is always clean and has a simple aesthetic look. White cloth tablecloths with glass tabletops.

    After spending the last two NYE's here with family, I think an update is much needed! CF Food Kitchen continues to consistently put out incredibly good food that is a step above most other establishments in the area - a true hidden gem in this little Granada Hills strip mall. I always get the fried brie appetizer and beef Wellington because they are just so good and beef Wellington is not a commonly found menu item. They are executed perfectly and I savor every last bit. During holidays, they offer a 3 course menu only - NYE was a reasonably priced $50 for appetizer, entree, and dessert with many entree options to choose from. My father ordered the lamb shank and two others ordered the pork chop, and all were very happy with their meals. My only complaints would be the portion of veggies is quite small, but it is a nice assortment. Bread and butter is now a $5 charge, instead of free. It was very good and about 10 pieces but the amount of butter was not enough IMO for the amount of bread. Most of us had the key lime pie for dessert which was incredibly creamy and delicious! The hostess/waitress/wife of the owner/chef, Sylvia, has at times in the past not been super friendly but at our visit this last NYE she was incredibly warm and attentive. We were amazed that she remembered us from the previous NYE and even the table we sat at! It is a small parking lot so it can be a little hard to find parking there if they are especially busy but there is ample street parking available. I have found it is generally an older crowd that comes here for dinner but there were some people around my age (30's) when we came on NYE. Overall, the food here is the real standout and the north valley is lucky to have CF Food Kitchen!

    Beef Wellington

    If you look up "hidden gem" in a dictionary, the definition will be CF food kitchen. Never heard of it? Neither had we, until someone suggested it. I called to make a reservation and spoke to Silvia it was very friendly and upbeat. Turns out, fortunately for us, Silvia became our server, and added a great deal to our enjoyment. On the right side of the menu are several different three-course dinners, appetizer, Main, dessert. The left side of the menu also look to delicious, but all four of us chose three course meal. I also ordered the scallop appetizer because it sounded good, and it was absolutely amazing. Two of us had clam chowder as a starter, and we both felt that it might be the best one we have ever eaten. There was an order of fried brie which was outstanding, and an order of crab cake. We traded tasting each of the three different ones, and all four of us loved them all. I had a beef Wellington cooked to perfection. Two people had a ribeye cooked perfectly, and the fourth order the Chilean sea bass which looked phenomenal. We all traded tastes, except the one who ordered the sea bass did not share. I guess he really liked it. The desserts were outstanding. Puff pastry with berry, an unusual and excellent cheesecake, bread pudding which was dynamite. We brought two bottles of wine, and corkage fee was moderate. We all raved about the food, about the service, the comfortable environment. Don't miss this place!

    This is the definition of a hidden gem. Located in a small unassuming shopping center. Can easily be missed. Once inside- it is a no frills and no showboating type of restaurant, but what they lack in design makes up for in their delicious food and hospitality. There was one server manning the place and she was such a delight. Giving attention to all and making you feel welcomed. They serve beer and wine plus soft drinks and coffee. We started off with some Pinot Grigio and took a look at the food menu. You can order items à la carte but they also have three course specials which seemed like a good bang for your buck. Plus was so excited to see Beef Wellington on the menu! We ordered som seared scallops to share and they were cooked perfectly. For our three course specials we went with- *Clam chowder, rib eye, and pumpkin cheesecake *Burrata salad, Beef Wellington, and poached pear Honestly everything was very very good! We licked our plates clean but the star of the show was the Beef Wellington. Hands down. Such a great meal from beginning to end. Chef Flores knows his stuff. Don't judge a book by its cover.

    My second visit. I was invited by my friend Jenn for lunch who is a regular there and loves the cuisine and the Owners/Chef. I was impressed by the offerings of a fine dining experience here in the SFV. Decor slightly dated and table settings are classic and simple which adds to the charm. The owners were just lovely as I remember. The wife was our server and the husband is the Chef. I had the pecan encrusted chicken and it was amazing. For dessert I had a key lime cheesecake to go since I had to return to work. From the outside you would never think you are going to have a meal like this. It's located in a tiny strip mall. Parking was challenging but worth it. Treat yourself and visit CF Food Kitchen.

    My first time here and exceptional service with unbelievable hospitality. They go above and beyond to make sure their customer needs are met. I normally don't do Yelp reviews often, but I feel like this business deserves one. I ordered the Sea Bass. And considering it was my first time here dining in, I was a little worried it was too over cooked... not tender and is very dry. But I was pleasantly amazed last night, it was absolutely beautiful. Very tender very juicy and very tasty. I will definitely be back again. This place is a true hidden gem in the valley.

    House Made Key Lime Pie
    Breanna W.

    Delicious ! Fresh! Delightful!!! This unassuming hidden gem is absolutely 5 stars. I had the crab cake and honey pecan pear salad and it did not disappoint. Finished with the House Made Key Lime pie and coffee. PHENOMENAL!!! Will definitely come back when I'm in the area. Don't sleep on this spot! The service was lovely as well as friendly. This was such an overall a greta experience. Highly recommend.

    Fried brie
    Chris H.

    The food and service were excellent. The staff's attention to detail -- both in hospitality and in the presentation of each dish -- really stood out. The Beef Wellington was perfectly cooked, the scallops were spot on, and the fried brie with berry pastry was absolutely delicious. I dine out for work most nights and travel about 70% of the time across the country, so I've experienced a lot of restaurants. It was a fun surprise to discover this hidden gem while waiting for traffic to clear. Definitely worth the stop.

    Pork Chop
    Brian S.

    Despite knowing about CF Food Kitchen for a very long time, this was the first time dining there. I had high hopes and have high expectations; both were exceeded. The restaurant is cute. The parking is a bit tight. The menu is compact yet varied enough for almost anyone with a "normal diet". Had the pork chop and it was fantastic. Dining partner had the beef Wellington and it was also fantastic. Appetizers were fried Brie and a burrata salad and dessert were key lime tart and bread pudding. Guess what... they were fantastic. The service was friendly and professional. All in all, a really enjoyable dinner. An experience to repeat!

    Bread pudding
    Natalie O.

    The meal was delicious. I forgot to take a pic of my fried Brie but that was my favorite. My husband has been wanting to try a beef Wellington for years and reddit pointed me here so we drove an hour for it. We were not disappointed. Service was excellent. We will be back when we can make the trip up here.

    Unfortunately we’re closed that day

    Reservation recommended or walk-ins garantee seating?

    My boyfriend and I came to eat Friday night at 7pm. The service, food and ambiance were great…read more 1. I had peeled shrimp and mussels at medium spice. Their sauce is delicious. Comparing it to drunken, the actual seasoning isn't visible but the taste is there. 2. All servers were quick and happy to great you. Any questions about the menu were easily answered. 3. Ambiance is great. Plenty of seating with tvs by the bar to watch games. There were families with infants who had plenty of space for strollers and high chairs. Perks: plenty of appetizers to choose from. The ice cream and fried Oreo at the end was delicious. The hand washing station is a plus.

The waffle tasted very artificial, and the butter and syrup seemed like the cheapest possible quality. Using real butter and real maple syrup would make a huge difference without adding much to the cost. The chicken had a nice crispy texture, but it was surprisingly bland. It really needed more seasoning and a little more salt to bring out the flavor. To top it off, the wait was much longer than expected, especially considering there were only a handful of customers in the restaurant. The place definitely has potential, but based on my experience, the reviews didn't match the food I was served.

We lucked out and got the last booth before the dinner rush. The place looked exactly like it did last time we came. Staff was still friendly. They don't accept cash, only cards/tap to pay. Their menu looked different. Wish I had taken a photo. You have an option to build your own boil by choosing your protein, sauce, spice level and add in's. They still don't allow you to mix garlic butter and lemon pepper sauces. You're forced to get the Kickin mix which includes Cajun even if you're not a fan of that flavor. They also have a kids menu with 2 choices, appetizers and family combos. Always intimidating ordering from a menu that doesn't disclose the pricing up front. That's the weirdest thing. Even restaurants in Beverly Hills have pricing on their menus. We got the family feast which feeds up to 4 people and had a combo of crab, mussels, shrimp, sausage, rice, potato and corn which was about $107. (Side note, they charge 50 cents for a pair of gloves and they do not provide you with a little towelette to wipe before or after your meal) This I have to admit was a pretty good deal considering it's a good amount of seafood. They serve it to you in a large metal bowl. We asked for mild since we had toddlers, but because of the Cajun in the sauce (that they force you to get if you want garlic butter and lemon pepper flavor) it was more of a medium, and the kids could not tolerate the heat. Which wasn't a bad thing since that meant more for us grown ups. Ordered them a side of truffle fries which was not too bad actually. We also ordered some of their specialty drinks which come in huge cups. We tried asking for two small empty cups so the kids could share our drinks, but they refused to provide that to us. According to the waiter, it's the restaurant policy that they can only provide water cups, but we have to figure out what to do with the water inside. (Insert face palm emoji) Also they do not provide buckets for your shells so we weren't sure what to do with all that water but drink it. The cups are thin paper cups to pair perfectly with those gross paper straws. By the time we finished the water the cups were pretty mushy already. Needless to say we couldn't finish all our food so we asked for it to go, reluctantly as we hoped they weren't going to try and charge us for those to go bags as well. Pro's: they brought the food out quickly. The food tasted freshly cooked. Con's: don't know where to begin. Parking lot sucks since it's shared with multiple other businesses. There is no place for you to sit and wait outside the restaurant. You'll need to stand outside by the parking lot and pray you don't get side swiped by some crazy driver. Menu has hidden pricing. They charge 50 cents for gloves and do not provide wipes for after your meal. They don't provide a bucket/container to place your seafood shells so it gets mixed in with your other food on the table. Can't even ask for an empty cup for kids. They don't let you customize your sauces your way. Sad to say after all this time my review for this place is still a solid 2 stars.

    Absolutely the best CNS location! I am a fan of the Ventura location but I was mistaken visiting…read morethat one because Valencia knows how to cook it up! Parking is easy since it's at a parking structure nearby and you cross the street to CNS. Once inside, you're greeted and can sit any spot you like (fave spot is the window side booth). Menus are already at each table but my husband and I already know what we usually order. I like 1lb of shrimp with medium spice level and CNS lemon garlic flavor with 1 corn. My husband orders the same thing but in mild spice level and CNS flavor. We each get our own garlic noodles and I love how it's on a paper in a basket and also share an order of cajun fries. Sometimes food takes a while to come out but that's fine because the shrimp is never overcooked/soggy here and the spice level is on point. Drinks are always refilled here and we received excellent service from Julie taking care of us :) She was letting us know that they are opening up a Northridge location (which may be closer for us than visiting Valencia) but we'll see.... Valenica CNS has stolen our hearts! :D

    Extremely disturbing, unsanitary, and unprofessional experience…read more While I was eating at this restaurant, I suddenly realized there were ants all over the seat and the area where I was sitting. There were so many that they actually got onto me and inside my clothing. I believe I was even bitten. I immediately jumped up and started trying to get the ants off me, and I actually had to take off my shirt because ants had gotten inside it. What happened next made the situation even more upsetting. As soon as the employee saw what was happening, she quickly came over and started cleaning the seat before I could properly take pictures showing how many ants were there. Even after she cleaned the area, there were still ants on the seat, and I was able to take pictures of them. I explained how serious and uncomfortable the situation was and specifically asked to speak with the manager. The manager did not even come out to speak with me. Instead, the employee told me that I could tell her what I wanted to say and she would tell the manager for me. I find that extremely unprofessional. If a customer is complaining that ants from your seating area got onto their body and inside their clothes, the very least a manager could do is come out and speak to the customer directly. Their solution was to tell me that they could give me food to go. However, I was there for the all-you-can-eat option, so telling me to take food to go was not an appropriate solution. After discovering ants crawling on me and inside my clothing, I obviously did not feel comfortable sitting back down and continuing to eat. I understand that problems can happen at any restaurant, but how you handle the problem matters. There was no manager willing to come speak with me, no reasonable resolution was offered, and I felt like the situation was being brushed aside instead of taken seriously. I have pictures showing ants that were still on the seating area even after the employee cleaned it. This was an extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable experience, and the lack of professionalism from management made it even worse. Based on my experience with both the cleanliness of the seating area and the way my complaint was handled, I would absolutely not recommend this location.
