It was overall so clean too with trash cans lining the neighborhood. There is so much foot traffic and car traffic here so that was a surprise! I really loved seeing the canned drive container too! Thanks to the Gemini community for opening their neighborhood to us all! My only suggestion would be portapotties but I'm sure that would be an added expense. Maybe if it was token driven to help offset costs?

My favorite was the house with the dog theme, they even had pup Christmas carols playing! Some residents also get involved as part of the experience. One was driving an old style classic truck with a Christmas tree and Santa in the trunk bed. Another was dressed as Santa riding around on a Segway wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. There were a few food vendors, from residents setting up a stand to sell cookies and hot cocoa to food trucks. We started right as the sun set and it was the perfect time as there was less crowd. Although some houses had not turn on their display at that time we were able to see it on the way back to the car. I find it much more enjoyable to walk than to drive. You get an up close view and can really appreciate the efforts that is put into it.

Pretty solid deal for happy hour - 3 to close Tuesday -Thursday in the dining room and 3 to close every day on the patio/beer garden. The bartenders were amazing - I think Jessica or Jasmine and Mike or Stever? Quick, efficient, friendly, on top of it. food came out right and quickly. For me, the food was mediocre. 23 bucks for a burger and fries and the shrinkflation was clear. But the drink prices more than made up for it. I'd have to try a few more things to get a better picture of the food but if the burger doesn't slap out of the gate it's not always the best sign. That aside, I'd go out of my way to go back based on the service and the staff.

Tempura was good, but I think it would have been more fabulous with some tempura sauce :) I love dining here at Slate. It was nice to be out in the heated private patio, even though the winds were not in our favor lol. Thank you to everyone at Slate Bistro! We had a fantastic Yelp Event thanks to you.

Dolores had already been supporting local businesses and truly represents what it is to be a part of this community. I had such a great time, as always getting to spend time with my Yelp friends is always amazing! The food was delicious, and so were the drinks. My favorite drink was Bad & Boujee. The food was also delicious, I especially enjoyed the shrimp! I love tempura shrimp. Thank you to Joey for being a great host and to the owners for being so friendly and welcoming.

The Atmosphere: I noticed they added a new deli area which looks great, and the restrooms were exceptionally clean and upscale.

A big thank you to Saffron for the fantastic meal and to the staff for their warm and attentive service.

The tandoori chicken was the highlight of my meal, with the vegetable samosa coming in as a close second.

And the cherry on the top is that we were supporting an independent and family owned business! This restaurant is located just off the 101 highway at the Ventu Park Road exit next to Ralph's grocery store in Newbury Park. We were treated to a lovely experience from the moment we walked in! The decor of the restaurant was really special- got me in the mood for a great experience. The night was kicked off with refreshments from the bar- we were offered wine, beer or soft drinks! The restaurant has a full bar with some unique beers like Kingfisher and they can make any cocktails your heart desires. To accompany our refreshments, we were offered tandoori chicken, samosas, garlic naan, curried cauliflower and butter chicken. To finish the meal, they provided rice pudding. The food was all mild, but I have been told that you can turn up the heat.....and they even have a spice challenge! The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating. Great to see they offer a small outdoor patio to enjoy the cooler night temperatures! Thanks for the great experience- Saffron Indian Cuisine & Bar, as well as Jara for organizing the event.

What an amazing evening and dining experience at Lucerne this evening. I used to frequent Lucerne…read moreover 10 years ago when I lived in Camarillo and they were at their previous location. Upon entering the new location we were greeted by Roberto who led us to a lovely table near the window. Ruby, Pheobe, Rebecca and Roberto took great care of us with their kind, professional and gracious customer service. What wonderful individuals. If my memory serves me right Jose, Roberto's brother is the master chef in the kitchen. All of the staff were amazing. We started with their amazing fresh warm bread. I had a lovely Red Blend and my wife chose water. My wife had a Caesar salad and I had the minestrone soup. Oh so good. Ruby and Roberto took our entree orders. My wife had the chicken marsala and I had the linguine lobster pasta special. Oh my was the food beyond words. So tasty and scrumptious. After our entrees Phoebe we decided to indulge in the dessert menu. Oh my goodness. I had the spumoni with a cup of delicious coffee and my wife had the tiramisu. Unbelievably scrumptious on all accounts. Lucerne is by far the best Italian restaurant in all if ventura county. Great food, amazing staff and lovely ambiance. Highly recommended

One of the highlights is definitely the dessert tray--it's next level and always tempting! The atmosphere and service have consistently been positive, which is why we've continued coming back. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that during our last few visits, the pasta dishes seemed to have more tomatoes than pasta. It may have just been an off experience, and we're willing to give it another try because we've enjoyed it in the past.

16 different types of Munich beers, local micro brews and wines plus great music!…read more I came with a couple of friends to try the beer which were awesome - for $10 in tickets they give you 4 6oz cups to sample brews you basically can't get anywhere but Oktoberfest in Munich. These beers are STRONG, so after my second sample I needed a break. We bought a giant pretzel then managed to get completely lost in the giant corn maze for about an hour. By the time we made it out we headed for the wine tent and sampled a few awesome wines there. Insider scoop: apparently if you buy tix online it's cheaper. I've been to a few Oktoberfests, this is my favorite in California. It gets a cooler crowd than the Alpine Village kegger, and younger than Big Bear. It was basically a really good value, the vendors didn't over charge and the people were cool.

There were a lot of beers I'd never tried, and wine as well, which was pretty great, the cups were $10 for 4 - which was Ok, plus I understand it's a fundraiser.

The one thing IT WAS SO HOT! But I can't blame them for that, but this year I'm not wearing the heavy german outfit, shorts and sandals for me! The airplane museum was interesting, but I think what really sold it for me was how festive it was. Everyone was just friendly, happy & cool - I ended up meeting some people I became friends with & who are coming this year.
