I'd give Riley 10 stars if I could…read more We visited the Simi Valley Market Broiler at 4 PM the day before Father's Day to celebrate my sister's birthday. It was my mom, my sister, my son, and me. The food was great, and although it was quiet when we arrived, it became very busy by the end of our meal. What truly stood out, though, was our waitress, Riley. She had the perfect balance that is honestly hard to find. She wasn't overly friendly or overbearing, but she also wasn't distant or robotic. She was simply genuine, attentive, calm, and incredibly thoughtful. Our table was a little chaotic at times. My mom accidentally spilled an entire glass of water all over the table, and Riley handled it with such grace and calmness that she immediately put everyone at ease. She never made us feel embarrassed or like we were inconveniencing her. Toward the end of the meal, my sister quietly snuck out because she didn't want anyone singing Happy Birthday to her, and my son went with her. Riley was so thoughtful that she packed up my son's ice cream (which we didn't even realize came with his meal) along with my sister's birthday sundae that we also didn't know was included. There was just something really special about her. Riley made us feel welcomed, cared for, and comfortable from beginning to end. We will absolutely be back, and Riley is a huge reason why. Thank you, Riley, for making an ordinary family dinner feel memorable.

You know it's important to give a shout out to extremely good service, now I have done a review for…read moreMB Grille before but we dined there on Friday evening and our service was very good. We had plans to dine elsewhere and when we arrived it was a sold out event even though I was never told that when I called earlier in the week that there was going to be a different situation (that is another story for later) So here we were a party of four looking to dine somewhere locally at prime dinner hour and striking out. My wife called MB Grille as we were already heading in that direction and talked to Alice and she allowed us to put our name on the list with the intent of us arriving in 10 minutes. We did arrive on time and the place was packed, we did get seated shortly after we arrived and Riley was our server. What a friendly easy going helpful person she was, answering questions that we had and getting answers for the questions she didn't have. Very attentive checking on us numerous times. We have dined here before and the fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection, Oysters are always good and the cocktails always spot on and refreshing. Big shout out to Riley on this one, great service is just as important as delicious food. And a great hostess such as Alice keeps the incoming customers flowing and happy and feeling welcome. Thank you both for making a fall out evening into a dining pleasure. Well done Riley and MB Grille, as always we will see you again soon. Bon Appetitto

Omg, I absolutely love this place! A few mom friends and I visited Porcellino's for the first time,…read moreand we were instantly charmed. It has such a cute, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The menu has something for everyone! From sandwiches, meatballs, and fresh salads to lasagna, with plenty of great vegetarian options too. I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese with a couple glasses of Prosecco, and it was absolutely chef's kiss! So flavorful, comforting, and delicious. What truly made our experience special, though, was the service. Anna and Nick were incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make our entire group feel comfortable and taken care of, which made the experience even more memorable. If you're looking for delicious Italian food, great drinks, and genuinely wonderful hospitality, Porcellino's is definitely worth a visit. We had such a great experience and will absolutely be back! 10/10 highly recommend!

First time visit to this quaint little spot in Simi Valley. The decor is kitschy in this small cozy…read morediner. Whenever I go to a breakfast spot, I always try the biscuits and gravy and they came highly recommended by our server. They were very friendly and sat us right away and the first thing they brought to us was their complimentary house coffee cake. I ordered biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon. The biscuits were as big as my face and tasted amazing. The gravy was a white gravy the kind you would normally find on a southern fried chicken steak. It was a very generous portion, however I prefer a more traditional gravy with sausage. Individually, though the gravy was tasty and the biscuits were tasty since they were both made from scratch. The bacon was thick cut and crispy just how I like it. Next visit I am going for pancakes. The customer service was amazing. Seriously top notch hospitality. If you find yourself in Simi check them out. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. No dinner service. Range: $$

We came here for a late breakfast (more like a late lunch come to think of it). The place was…read moreclosing soon, but they still kindly took me and my family in, in spite of that. One thing that excels in this place is the service! The staff were really attentive to all our needs and checking up on us every now and then throughout our meal. The food tastes good, not really that outstanding, but just enough to fill and satisfy the little nook and crannies of the rumblies in the tumblies... The place was nice and clean. There were a few customers when we came in. And we were the only ones left after our meal. The price of the food is reasonable enough. I would recommend this business as a go-to for your breakfast needs!

An ABSOLUTE GEM in Simi. Pastries, drinks, atmosphere,…read moreservice... all on point. I'm obsessed with this place. You walk in and it feels like you are transported to a Ghibli dream cafe. Small and cozy, cute cottage-core hedgehog figurines with mushrooms adorn the entrance table where all things hedgehog are displayed. It's the small touches here that show what thought was put into this place; like fresh strawberry mint water (or other fruit water offered) and always soft French jazz bossanova playing in the background. The service is amazing, despite never seeming to have a lull- there's always a good stream of people at any hr of the day filtering in. So let's get to the food. My family has been multiple times now, and Every pastry was a sheer delight. Not too sweet! Just right. The pastry chef making these has meticulously crafted a curated array of fun unique options that seem to change often. Drinks offerings are organic drip coffee, teas, matcha and also hot Belgium chocolate or iced Belgium chocolate. Things we tried: Iced strawberry matcha with homemade strawberry jam Iced Chai milk tea Lemon brioche Strawberry curd brioche Curry ball (crispy outside delicious spiced lentil inside) Maple pecan croissant Cherry danish Pear danish Curry pie Chocolate orange silk pie Every one was stunning. This is an adorable date idea, cute morning or mid day treat, or for kids- I brought my nephew and he can't stop raving about it.

With so many positive reviews, we were excited to try this place. Unfortunately, we left…read moredisappointed. The female staff member with dark hair seemed angry from the moment we walked in. I'm not sure if someone called out that day, or if it was something else entirely. My party did their best to lighten the interaction. She continued to express that anger throughout. There was no greeting or welcome. She assisted us, but with visible reluctance. I tried to order a sandwich listed on the specials board near the pastry case, only to be told it was only available Monday through Thursday. I'm not sure why a specials board would list items that are only offered during the week. On a positive note, a gentleman on staff was kind and genuinely helpful. His service made a real difference. Plus the customers are very friendly. As for the pastries, I appreciate the concept of blending French and Japanese techniques. It's an approach I often explore in my own pastry and confectionery work. It is a perfect match! As a small business owner myself, I would never treat a guest the way we were treated. I would not allow my staff to behave this way either. I understand everyone has an off day. Still, it's important to remain professional with guests regardless. I would have been willing to try this place again if it she hadn't seemed so bothered by us ordering three pastries, a black coffee and tea. Like I said, maybe it was an off day but you can still be cordial and professional.

Had the most amazing and delicious lunch at this terrific restaurant. From the moment we entered,…read morefolks working here were helpful and welcoming. The menu is extensive however , I knew what I wanted to order. Ordered the vegetarian spring rolls for starters that were accompanied by a slightly spicy peanut sauce topped with carrots and cilantro. My hubby ordered the chicken Pho which was full of chicken, noodles and roasted garlic. I ordered the vegetarian Pho, which contained tender crisp broccoli, carrots, tofu and roasted garlic. Both Pho's came with bean sprouts, Thai basil, sliced jalapeños and sliced lime. . The vegetarian Pho was so tasty, lightly seasoned and very easy to eat. I noticed tables are cleaned quickly and attention is given to cleanliness. If I could give more than 5 stars, this place would have them all. Parking is available in the lot out front.

When I walked inside, it took the worker a while to acknowledge me. They didn't sit me until another guest arrived after me and they seated them first. The lady sat me next to the TV so I was able to watch some football. I been to the Granada Hills and Mission Hills location already so I was familiar with the menu. I got the pho #1 which is just their combo pho with different meats and asked for a coke. My drink came out first and the man who brought me my drink did not interact with me at all. I think there might be a language barrier. The next man brought out my pho soon afterwards and he was more talkative. My pho soup was delicious and they give you a decent amount. The price is also very reasonable but the soda was more on the expensive end. The women who seated me brought me my bill so I didn't have to walk to the front to pay. I would come back to this location again but I now know to not get a soda from here.
