The Dugout was a swing and a miss today. The only good thing about it, really, was the service…read more The server who took care of us was attentive, and checked in the right amount of times. The food and comfort, not so much. Dear Hubby and I had a late breakfast, so we weren't really that hungry. We decided to order a pastrami sandwich to share, which came with one side (we chose tater tots). DH also ordered a cup of chili as an extra side. BIG mistake. At $7.25 for cup of inedible chili, that was a bad choice. It was overly salty, and extremely greasy. They charged 50 cents for a tiny sprinkling of onions on top. Really? That was an extra insult, considering that we skipped the cheese on the sandwich, and we didn't get a deduction for leaving that out. Speaking of the sandwich - it was tasty and well-made, but was very skimpy on actual pastrami filling. Not a good value. The bill was $40 for a shared sandwich, one small draft beer, a generous glass of pineapple juice, and the terrible side of chili. Since eating out is getting so expensive, I always hope (and expect!) that dining establishments would put their best foot forward so that guests will like what they're serving and want to return. Another note - the chair that I was about to sit down on was so wobbly and in bad repair that I could have suffered a fall. I mentioned it to one of the servers. She thanked me, but made no effort to remove it from the floor. That's a potentially dangerous situation which went untended. I didn't see a manager on the floor or I would have called it to their attention. I dragged over a chair in better condition from another table myself. It's a sports bar. It's reasonably clean. The kitchen did them no favors today. We'll be looking for another place to go when the 49'ers aren't on national TV during this NFL season.

I've been to Cork & Batter a few times now, starting from when they first opened, and the food has…read morealways been on point! My first visit I ordered the Brussels sprouts, which I absolutely LOVED, and the C&B Smash Burger SOOOO GOOD!!! Another time I came during the day with my friend and her son because we were craving BBQ. They ordered the hot links, brisket nachos which were HUGE and the smoked brisket sandwich. I was craving something lighter, so I went with the Caesar salad. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of how their Caesar is served in wedges instead of being chopped up, but overall the food was still delicious! Most recently, I came over the weekend for a little date night and we had such a fun time! The late-night wings and drinks were soooo yummy, and the servers were super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is lively and fun with a huge open space and A LOT of seating. They also have a dance floor and live music on the weekends, which makes it such a fun spot whether you're coming for dinner, drinks, a date night, or a night out with friends. The restaurant has always been very clean every time I've visited too. Definitely one of those places in Simi Valley that works for pretty much any occasion!

We were at Crock & Batter in Simi Valley last weekend, and unfortunately, to say we were…read moredisappointed would be an understatement. I remember when this restaurant first opened, it was hip, exciting, and happening, and it finally felt like Simi Valley had a great go-to steakhouse. We were genuinely excited to have a place like this in our community and had high hopes that it would continue to thrive. I'm not sure if ownership has changed, the chef has changed, or something else is going on behind the scenes, but our experience last weekend was nowhere near what we remembered. The quality of the food has noticeably gone down, they were out of several items, and the service was mediocre at best. It took far too long for our waiter to check on us, refill our waters, ask how our food was, or see if we needed anything. For a restaurant at this price point, you simply expect a higher level of food and service. It's especially disappointing because we really want local restaurants in Simi Valley to succeed. Too often, a new restaurant opens with a lot of excitement and hype, becomes a great place to go, and then somewhere along the way the quality or service begins to slip. I truly hope Crock & Batter can get back to what made it so enjoyable when it first opened. Unfortunately, based on our most recent experience, it will probably be a long while before we return.

For my sister-in-laws BIG 4-0, we were invited to celebrate with her and of all her friends at a…read morelocal bar in Simi Valley. It was a Saturday evening in February and at just a little after 6pm, the party was just getting started. And although Simi is one of our neighboring cities, we rarely venture to this part of town for any evening entertainment venues, so I wasn't sure what this place was going to be about. But at my first glance inside after walking in, I knew we were going to have a fun night. A decent size bar, several pool tables, tv's with sports on, a dance floor, live music, booze and bar food.... You can Count. Me. In. We had 2 tables set up in the back where everyone in the group congregated. First things first, we ordered a bunch of appetizers that everybody could share and they were great! From there we went over to the bar and got ourselves a drink. Pool table are available (and are a pay per game with quarters). The tables were clean, well maintained and had good lighting... Let's just say there was no hiding behind the 8 ball. Within 30 min to an hour of being here, a live band began to play and the ladies in our group all rushed the dance floor to shake their tail feathers. As the night went on, we ordered a a few pizzas and they were the perfect complement to our beer and whiskeys. The crowd was full of locals and we felt right at home. The place is well maintained, and the staff on site were all very cool. There is a hotel attached where some of the people in our group stayed the night (The Grand Vista Hotel). As far as Arena Sports Bar is concerned, I was a fan and I would definitely come back to play pool, grab a drink and enjoy the live music entertainment. Simi Valley... I'll be back!

The ceviche had plenty of shrimp in it! Such a great amount of protein. I'm typically very particular about shrimp texture, this was absolutely perfect. Cooked to perfection and so moist! It was topped with mango, which paired so deliciously with the lime. Avocado and cucumbers with tajin were also included. And I got 4 small tostadas, crackers, and tapatio packets on the side. My Ubereats driver took a long time to get my food to me, and I was starting to get impatient and hangry, but receiving my order made up for everything! I cannot wait to order again!

Extremely disappointed with our experience. I called the restaurant the day before to ask if…read morereservations were required because we were planning to come watch the World Cup game with a group of seven people. I was specifically told that reservations were not needed and that seating was on a first-come, first-served basis. To be safe, we arrived two hours early, only to be told that we actually did need reservations. We were shocked because we had called ahead specifically to avoid this exact situation. We ended up wasting our time and had to scramble to find another place that could accommodate our group. What made the experience even worse was the way the staff handled it. While my dad was calmly trying to speak with the employees at the front desk to understand what happened, they literally walked away from him instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. That level of disrespect and lack of customer service was unacceptable. If the restaurant has different policies for major events like the World Cup, they need to communicate that clearly and make sure all employees are giving customers accurate information. Between the misinformation and the dismissive attitude from the staff, this was a terrible experience. We definitely won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting good customer service.

My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

I saw the margarita flight and knew I had to try it, especially since it was my first time. They were all delicious and tasty. I would definitely order again. They had their garnish game on point. I also saw they had a taco flight. I knew I had to try those as well. I wanted to try all the different meat options to find the flavors I like. The Birria taco was my favorite flavor. Some of the meats were a little dry. I wish they had a little more flavor to them. They gave me two different salsas to add and that helped. But I would definitely like to see the flavors of the tacos improve. I always crave sushi. That was a must try for me. I thought I would try the fiesta mariachi roll for the first trip here. It was delicious. I'm craving more! I think next time I will have to try some of the other sushi options since this one was so good. Also since they basically have flights for everything..... I would love to have a sushi platter flight... with my margarita flight! I will definitely go back. I can't wait to try more menu items. The staff was all very attentive and friendly.

Our group genuinely wanted to support this local business and enjoy an evening together. We were actively purchasing wine and bottles, but throughout the evening, we felt increasingly unwelcome. We were each told by Melanie that an additional gratuity fee would be added because our group was considered "large," even though this was never communicated to us beforehand. We were also given the impression that our group needed to be finished and out by 6 PM, despite the business being scheduled to remain open until 10 PM. No time limit was communicated to us when we arrived. Additionally, some members of our group were charged regular prices rather than the advertised happy hour prices, which added to the frustration and confusion surrounding the evening. While we were never directly told to leave, the way the situation was handled by Melanie made us feel pressured to do so. We would have happily stayed and continued purchasing drinks, but once we felt that our presence was no longer wanted, we decided it was best to leave. What was especially disappointing was that the business was not particularly busy that evening, and our group was not preventing other customers from being seated or interfering with business. This made the experience difficult to understand and left us feeling singled out. I understand that businesses may have policies regarding larger groups, but those policies should be communicated clearly and upfront. Unfortunately, the way this was handled felt unprofessional and left a very negative impression on our group. We genuinely wanted to enjoy and support this local wine bar, but based on our experience, I would not recommend it. Will not be returning.

We sat outside, which was nice, since it gave us a view of the hills and golf course. They had the fans on so it was nice. The place was pretty empty so we were surprised when our food took forever to come out. Once it did, my chicken sandwich was pretty bland. My friend said her BBQ salad looked like cans of beans and corn were just thrown on top and they didn't chop up the lettuce, leaving her with huge inedible chunks. To top it off the amount of dressing they gave her wasn't even enough to cover the salad. Another friend had the steak salad and the steak was so tough she needed a saw to cut through the pieces. Suffice to say the prices were not worth the quality of food. 3 for ambience and friendly waitress only. Will not be coming back.
