Westlake has been starved for years for such an amazing high-quality and relaxed restaurant. First rate wine list. Amazing menu that ranges from high end foodie items to comfort food that makes you want to come a few times a week. This place is fantastic. And if you're seeing a movie next door, you need to make this your local go-to for great food. read more

A neighborhood gem. The combination of flavors are unparalleled. Sit at that bar and enjoy your conversation witty Graham and enjoy a local wine list with some great selections. read more

Amazing service! The food was phenomenal on top of that! Truly felt like I was family! I 110% suggest this place to anyone who is looking for a nice place to eat or just have a chill vibe! read more

After 24 years of bowing and scraping to the whims of search engine algorithms, we sold our websites and have started to relax and explore local restaurants. We started out with an appetizer of warmed Castelvetrano olives with olive oil, feta cheese, and rosemary. That alone is worth the visit. My wife had the "Red Little Gem" salad with chicken, blue cheese, and a citrus reduction. I had the seared salmon. Our dishes were done to perfection, the service was excellent, wine delightful, and overall we're off to an excellent start. The place reminded me of the little cafe's you'd find in Provence - hidden-away gems that provide wonderful food. It's small and there is nothing to dampen the noise, so I imagine that at dinner there's quite a din - but that's the way things are these days. I can't fault them for that. Lovely meal. They have a 4-6 PM happy hour that we'll try out for wine and olives. read more

What a fine little restaurant. And the owner is the baker... Stopped in with 2 friends to check out this new restaurant... wow great Salmon, and the bread, made in-house double wow. I know, I grew up on homemade bread. Since then I took another friend for lunch, outstanding white pizza & wine. So good we brought another friend the next day. Another fine meal with wine, salads & great bread. Took the lacquered bbq home for the husband, surprise he said best he's ever eaten & this from a guy who's traveled the world with rock musicians for 25 yrs, sorry I digressed. Stopped in the other night just to grab a bottle of wine and a loaf of great bread to enjoy with friends the next day. The place may be small but you won't find better food in Westlake Village and we have pretty much dined at all the 'fine dining' restaurants and bistros from Malibu to Calabasas etc. as we live here. Let's just say you won't be disappointed. Oh and the fresh flowers on the bar were stunning and service read more

See all

2-star restaurant IMO due to; 1) the restaurant space is terrible, 2) the food/drink is overpriced, and 3) service is not great. However, it's not a 1-star because although it's overpriced, the food still was pretty good. Not a fan of the manager/restaurant owner or the person seating people. We got an attitude of us being an inconvenience even though more than half of the restaurant was empty. I'm a pretty casual person, but the service was way too informal and inattentive at a place that's charging what they are for the food. The space itself is terrible. There are holes in the ceiling/walls and wires visibly sticking out in several locations. The carpet looks like it's from 20 years ago with stains all over it. I read another review that said it looks like a hotel lobby and that's spot on. A cheap hotel lobby. This is also the second time we went there because we weren't a fan the first time but really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately we won't be returning to this place again. There are plenty of great restaurants in the area that are much better experiences, have much better atmosphere, and have food just as good, if not better, and for much less money. read more

Just had a fabulous pepperoni pizza and glass of wine tonight! Great restaurant and close to home. Thanks Graham!

The specials are phenomenal. Salads are really good too. Everything made from scratch. Graham has a vision and looks at the big picture in giving guests a positive experience every time. read more

I was so excited to try the new place, but was sorely disappointed. I hate to write a bad review, just hope it will help them get better. I plan to try it again to see if this was just a bad night. I went on a weekday at around 6 ish. Only two other tables occupied, so they can't say they were busy. I paid $7 for the whipped feta bread. It came looking very unappetizing, basically two pieces of bread cut into 4s with a pale dry tomato on top. Funny, that was the tastiest thing we had. Ordered salad and the burger. Pet peeve they came at the same time. Salad was okay but not well dressed bread in it was super hard , more a crouton than what you would expect for a panzenella salad. The burger was unseasoned and so much smaller than the bun...seemed like only some shredded lettuce to dress it up. Ordered water ( driving) never got a refill, hard to get down all the dryness! read more

I had high hopes after my first visit that this place would be a new go to in the neighborhood, but those hopes were dashed after the poor service and arrogant attitude we recieved tonight. We waited way too long for food and had to leave before food came. Best I can say is, understaffed and not customer friendly. read more

Heard about this hidden gem from a friend. Had lunch today and loved it. The bahn mi sandwich was the best I've ever had. The homemade bread is great. The atmosphere and the music were funky and cool. The owner is very hospitable. Will be back to try the pizzas! read more

I went in last Wednesday to check it out. Since I love to adventure into new restaurants. Well.. I was highly surprised by the great atmosphere and their neat menu but most of all by their chef & owner who was more than kind to patiently explain the technique for their delicious bread. I can't wait to go again and enjoy some of their cheese selection with a nice glass of wine!!! Congratulations wonderful place. I highly recommend it. read more

This is a great new restaurant in Westlake Village. What a treat! Food was delicious with a great selection of wine. Graham was a pleasure to talk to and made some suggestions on our wine and salad...Carrot salad is the best. Will be returning with our husbands. read more

Went here the other night and was EXTREMELY disappointed. $27 for burnt toast with meat and cheese?! Are you kidding? The wine selection was limited and mediocre for a supposed wine bar. Maybe clean up your boxes and mess from opening the joint. Do not waste your time here, there are so many better places in the area to get a decent meal that won't leave you feeling unsatisfying and disgusted with the low quality over priced food. Giving this place less than a year tops to stay open. read more

they poisoned my food and put penuts in my salad and i asked for no penuts cause im deadly allergic.

I am so grateful you guys are continuing to offer take out and the food is so awesome. I had the sword fish and it was amazing. Every meal I have had at decker kitchen has been so good. Tell all your friends we need to support our local restaurants they all work really hard to make us healthy and happy. One more shout out to Paul at the bar keep creating the most unusual drinks. read more

Horrible experience. The server, a young blonde woman, who clearly didn't know what she's doing is going to put this place out of business if she keeps working here. She never told us about the specials, didn't tell us that what we ordered was no available, botched our order, and is just an overall mess. Another table beside us was clearly annoyed at her too and made it clear to her. The food was decent, but the service ruined it for us. How unfortunate. read more

We tried Decker Kitchen for the furred time lastt night. We had the olives, shishito peppers and bread to start. Our main dish was the suckling pig shoulder and beet salad. Fantastic! The best part is we can walk to the restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

Disappointed in our experience with Decker Kitchen. We were excited to try the new location as our previous experiences were so good. Unfortunately, we were let down to the point of never going back. This was an established restaurant, and what we encountered was really bad. Normally we like to give a "new" restaurant a couple of months to get their bearings. However, having already had a good experience at the old locatione, we thought, what could go wrong? Well first off, the hostess was very rude (no name, red hair, tattoos on left shoulder). When we arrived to our reservation and requested an outdoor table, we were told it would not be ready for at least 5 minutes. So we went to bar and had some drinks, when our drinks were over, I went to the hostess to ask about our table, thinking she forgot. She just stares at me when I asked her if our table was ready, at this point it had been 15 min. When she said nothing, I said "you asked us to wait at the bar for 5 min until our table was ready" she gives me a dead eye stare and says "yes..." so I said, "well it's been 15 min, is our table ready?" again with the dead eye stare, she says "yes..." and I said "well???? then she says, "it'll be another 5 min". We went back to the bar, closed out our tab, then she came to get us. It all got progressively worse. The waiter, Sean, was good, helpful. We ordered the $5 chunk of sourdough bread, (outrageous) and it was ice cold, soft, but cold. You would think that for $5 it was coming straight out of the oven. Then my husband orders the ribs, I order the Spanish burger. Both come with "roasted potatoes" which turned out to be cold/rubbery. Maybe Thursday's leftovers? The ribs were not fully cooked, soft and pale, hardly any BBQ on them, again, the day before ribs? By that time, we were disgusted and ready to leave. In short, NO EXCUSE FOR AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED RESTAURANT TO DO SO POORLY! Granted the decor was lacking, but it was a new location, so pass on that. But the snarky hostess and the terrible food, no excuse for that! The food can be improved, but maybe consider paying your hostess more and get someone of quality, they are after all the first line of defense. read more

This restaurant is destined for success due to the delicious, fresh food and the hands on ownership. I hesitate to write this review (for fear I won't be able to get a table), but, when something is this good, I just have to spread the word. read more

Had the pleasure of ordering food from this brand new restaurant, Decker Kitchen...located in center at Agoura Road and Lakeview Canyon. Amazing bread baked on site...I ordered Margherita Pizza and chopped salad...yum! Great looking wine list and interesting menu. I'll be back! read more

New hidden spot that I had heard about. Small, quaint and warm inside. Called for a reservation and table was waiting minutes later. The must have is the ribs. Really tasty and cooked to perfection. Roasted potatoes and lamb also good but I would order the ribs next time. Lamb should we done with a yogurt sauce and chopped salad. I prefer lamb chops so this wasn't my favorite. Get the ribs- excellent. read more

The steak! The bread! The wine! I guess i could go on and on... the food and drink were absolutely amazing. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have already been twice, but can't wait to keep going back. read more

What a great addition to the Westlake restaurant scene! Graham is clearly passionate about food and wine. He's a gracious host.

After discovering this gem of a restaurant in November, my husband and I have become regulars. We've simply never had a bad meal which is why we keep going back. Last night, my husband had the ribeye steak and said it was one of the best he's ever had. I chose the pot pie and I'm still thinking about it. It was savory and comforting, a perfect choice for these cold nights. Husband tried the crispy chicken thighs last week, and we both tried the banh mi and Italian sandwiches on the lunch menu which were fantastic. It's just a matter of time before this restaurant - located in a small, well appointed, intimate spot- is bursting at the seams with devotees like us who can't get enough of owner and chef Graham's exquisite dishes. He's even added free dessert bites to offer his guests- last night's was a snickerdoodle cake that we and our friends - also regulars- are still talking about. I can't say enough (obviously) about this place. The service is wonderful, the ambiance is cozy, and the food is some of the best in So Cal. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! Graham, the owner is terrific. The food is delicious, the atmosphere very welcoming and the service is friendly and attentive. We have been here several times and will continue to return. Such a great addition to Westlake Village. read more

The staff has quite an attitude from the owner to the server. Food was good. Soup delicious however the Salmon dish nothing special. I'd suggest not going here if you have food allergies because asking for vegetables instead of grains or potatoes creates a problem for them . We were told they don't have freezers and have just enough vegetables for each particular dish as written on the menu. I was told everyone wants a starch with their meal like there was something wrong with me for wanting something different(just any non-starchy vegetable). Other restaurants seem more than happy to offer alternatives and accommodate, and I was surprised this was a problem and to be openly scolded for asking. After soup was served I realized we had no napkins so had to get up to ask for one. When asking for more water was told by the server, "Give me a minute.There's only one of me and lots of you." There were 2 other tables at that time. Sadly our experience here was disappointing, and we will skip this place in the future. You would think opening recently they would want to make a good impression. read more

What a great find! My friend and I stopped before a movie at the theater in this center and we had the most pleasant experience. The cheese plate was amazing and we split one of the special entrees which I believe was pork; it was so tender and full of nice flavor. The owner gave a nice wine recommendation. The bread here, baked on site, is so good. I highly recommend this spot for lovely, quaint meal. The dining area is small so you may have a wait. The decor is simple, with a rustic elegance. I can't wait to return. read more

We love this place. Great food, friendly people. I would highly recommend Decker Kitchen to anyone looking for a terrific dining experience!

Lovely little hidden treasure in Westlake, CA. Wines are great! Food is unique and delicious. Love the open kitchen set up and the friendly owner and staff. This is a must do ! read more

What a wonderful, eclectic and tasty experience! The restaurant was not as big as we thought it would be based on the Yelp photos, so I wasn't sure this would be the right spot to bring my father, but I'm so glad we gave it a shot! After the owner explained that the sandwiches were made with Italian rolls that were his own recipe, I decided to try the turkey and Swiss... it was excellent!! My husband and father each had burgers that they thoroughly enjoyed. And my son said his pizza with its thin bubbly crispy crust was wonderful! We will definitely return! read more

We had wonderful dinner, with fabulous service, the special fava bean toast was fantastic, the chef cooked our steaks to perfection! Can't wait to go again!!! read more

We need more restaurants like Decker Kitchen in the Conejo Valley. They have an involved owner who is passionate about food and wine, and a staff that makes you feel welcome from the second you step foot into the restaurant. The food is phenomenal at a fair price, they have a great rotating wine list (which they are very helpful with walking you through) and they really put the extra effort. Oh and the bread...wow...it's not free but it's worth every penny. read more

I sincerely wish this restaurant all the best as their food was good. With the right staff I am optimistic that they'll be successful. Currently, the tables are oversized for the space and the one waitress is so wildly incompetent that it is creating major inefficiencies for the owner/ chef. I recommend checking it out but anticipate long wait times for food. Good luck! read more

Best sourdough bread in the greater LA area! Every item on the menu is delightful and delicious. Family friendly and warm atmosphere.

I was fortunate to be introduced to this little slice of heaven by a friend, and lucky enough to get a seat at the bar since we hadn't made reservations. Everything on the menu looked tempting but I opted for the double-seared ribeye which was absolutely delicious. We started with the warm olives with feta (!!!) and a large hunk of the house made bread with a smear of butter. Awesome! Then I had the heirloom tomato salad -- perfectly dressed with some crunchy croutons to boot. My only complaint was that the salad was a bit too big as a course before a main entree. Hardly a complaint since it was so delicious!! The ribeye was perfectly seasoned and was served with roasted potatoes. I'll have to go back for dessert since I was too stuffed to even consider it! Everyone sitting near us raved about their food. The service is a bit uneven. A little patience (and reservations) are recommended. I'll be back!!! read more

Love love love the food. I felt nurtured and cared about. Simply stated...go there now!

Have been a couple of times. I like the attitude of the owner that he wants to remain humble while they work out the operations. The white pizza is to die for. Looking forward to future visits. read more

Tried this place out for lunch today.. the food was great (homemade bread..SO good) and the service was very friendly. Our server Jake was very welcoming and kept checking up on us to make sure we were doing fine. Highly recommend this place! read more

Decker Kitchen is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The food is fresh and delicious. The owner, Graham, is very welcoming and hands on. My husband and I stopped in for a nightcap after viewing a delightful movie ("Julia Naked") at the Westlake Twin Theatre. We had no idea what to expect, but there were quite a lot of diners for such a brand new restaurant (tonight was the first night they were officially open), so I knew the food would be fresh. Everything was delicious! The heirloom tomatoes were amazing and the fresh bread is exceptional. We plan on coming back for lunch or dinner (and homemade bread pudding) very soon. So happy to have such a great restaurant so close to home...Decker Kitchen is just one more reason why I love living out here! read more
