Excellent food, service and ambience. Reasonably priced grilled lobster sandwich was delicious. Perfectly seasoned french fries so good. Service staff, helpful and attentive, but not overbearing. Will be back. read more

My friend and I went for lunch. We both had the Cuban Sandwich with the side cesar salad. It was honestly so so good! My friend and I got a side of fries, not pictured but also very good. The service was great. We sat on the lovely patio. They said they should be getting their liquor license in a couple weeks. Looking forward to going back. read more

Freda's Fine Food & Drink - Cuban sandwich & cesar salad. - Pizza Near Me - Moorpark, California

Lunch date with my friend and we decided to go out on a limb and try something different. She lives in Simi and I live in Thousand Oaks so we thought somewhere in Moorpark would work for us to meet. I searched restaurants in Moorpark and this one came up. The outside looked darling and the reviews were ok. I thought...."why not?!" We met on a Friday at 12:30 for lunch. It was easy to find and the building it is in is absolutely beautiful on the outside and has so much character. They even have a cute outdoor eating patio and plenty of parking in back. We decided to get a table inside because it was a bit too cold for us to eat outside. The inside was cute but definitely didn't have as much character as the outside. We were sat almost immediately. It wasn't crowded at all so we felt like we chose a great time to go. We were given the menus and were asked if we wanted a drink. My friend was thinking of getting a glass of wine but when she asked the waitress she said that they didn't have a liquor license. We both decided on water. The menu consisted of sandwiches, salads, pizza, a few appetizers and 5 entree choices (salmon, chicken, ribeye, short ribs and steak frites). Since it was cold we both declined on ordering our usual salad order and opted for a sandwich thinking that it's hard to make a bad sandwich. We were disappointed when we discovered it was easy for them to make a sub par sandwich. My friend ordered the $18 meatball sandwich with came with fries. The bread was large, soft and tasted fresh. The meatballs were scarce (she said they needed more to fill the roll and that it was mostly bread) and the taste was "just ok". I ordered the $17 steak and cheese sandwich. I specifically asked the waitress if the meat was lean and if it was sliced thinly. She said yes that it was. I decided to proceed with that order that also included fries. The bread/roll was good but the meat not so much. It was very fatty and not very tender. It also had grilled onions and Irish cheddar cheese which was good. The fillings on mine did seem to fill the roll with the majority of it being meat which would have been perfect if the meat was good. It was served with au jus which was tasty and was supposed to have been served with creamy horseradish which it was not. I forgot about the horseradish after we had left. The fries were crispy, hot and tasty and there were plenty. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes and should have tried something else? However, with the prices the way they are, no liquor license, not much ambience inside and the quality and taste of the food I most likely will not be back, unfortunately. I wanted so much to say I found a new, favorite lunch spot that wasn't a chain...I really did....and I'm disappointed to say I haven't. I'll continue my search... read more

Service and food was just perfect and outstanding will be back for sure. Wait staff very helpful and friendly Thank you so much for a lovely dinner to end our date night with my husband. read more

Excellent food with friendly service in nice decor restaurants. Went to the WLV restaurant & had a great pizza, so we decided to go to their restaurant in Moorpark. On 2 occasions the cheeseburgers were delicious. Salmon was ordered al-dente & was cooked to perfection (probably the best piece of salmon ever eaten). All the front-of-the-house staff have been very friendly & accommodating. Both restaurants are nice looking & clean, with the Moorpark location in a restored old Victorian house having quaint sounds of locomotives as it is across the street from a train station. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Revisited for Saturday brunch after hearing good things since my previous visit during the soft opening and was impressed. I had the crabcake eggs benedict, which was delicious, and tried some of their biscuits and gravy which was also very nicely done. The standout to me was the house's version of an Aperol spritz which had a great balance that not every bar can achieve. Sat out on the side patio to enjoy the weather, the cozy yet casual ambiance remains a big plus. Our server was great, and went the extra mile to accommodate some substitutions for a member of our party. I will definitely be returning to see what their dinner service is like. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place, and SO EXCITED to have a new restaurant in Moorpark! We had the brussel sprouts (on special but I hope they add to the regular menu) and meatballs as appetizers, and for entrees the chicken scallopini and short ribs. Everything was incredible!! Can't wait to go and sit on the patio when it gets warmer :) read more

Freda's Fine Food & Drink - Pizza Near Me - Moorpark, California

Short version: Didn't even try the food. Extremely poor service. Seated in a black hole of a conference room that was so depressing we got up and left before we even ordered. Passed the hostess on the way out and she didn't even ask why we were leaving. Went a week ago, arrivedat 5:30pm. First time trying Freda's. Didn't not have a reservation, but figured it's Tuesday, early evening and there were only two of us, so let's would give it a go. It was also my birthday, and our dinner at home plans had changed due to work. Enter the restaurant, and a bus boy asked if we have reservations, which I said we do not. The hostess asked if we would like to be seated inside or on the patio. We said inside would be great, there were six open tables in the dining area. Hostess grabs two menus, then says she needs to go set up our table and heads down the hallway. I assumed there was another dining area that she was setting up. She comes back and leads us into a small conference room with three tables, one of which is a two top just inside the door. No one else is in the room. The conference space is a small rectangular room, with black board and batten on all the walls going approximately 4.5, and then a blue wall color above it to the ceiling. Absolutely no art on the walls. There is a black TV which hangs over the two top table, and there was a door to the outside. So basically you're seated in a black hole. Husband hadn't seated as he went to the restroom. I'm sitting there thinking, wow this is depressing. Husband returns, sits down and says, "this is depressing." We looked over the menu for a minute, and then I said, "this isn't the way I want to spend my birthday, there isn't even any art on the walls." We got up and left. Passes the hostess on the way out, and she said nothing. Seemed like she wasn't surprised. Dining out isn't just about the quality of the food, it's about the service. If you didn't have space due to the lack of a reservation, why not convey that our only option is the black "conference room". Throughly unimpressed! FYI - With minimal effort and investment one could easily design away the desolate vide in the black hole - grab some amazing art for the walls with digital art downloads from Etsy, print at Staples and frame. HomeGoods is a great resource for beautiful reasonably priced frames. Small glass bud vases from Amazon for the tables with simple greens, along with votives create layers and the desire to sit and stay awhile. It's like Freda's doesn't even want to try It was really sad. And not what I'd hoped for on my birthday. Should have gone to M on High. read more

We dined at Fredas this past Friday evening and were delighted with the service and the friendliness of the staff. We did an online reservation the day before but when we arrived, the Hostess did not find our reservation. The owner managed to find us a table despite the business of the restaurant and the restaurant staff went out of its way to make us feel welcome. The food was very good. What a wonderful experience which could have been the opposite. read more

Really good food. Had the lobster roll and a Caesar salad. Both amazing. Service good too. Will go back.

Good was good. My car got hit while I was parked and inside. Not thier fault. However they approached me and offered to help w camera footage. Its been over 2 weeks. I can't get anyone to call me back despite numerous messages and being passed from person to person. Don't offer to help if you don't want to. read more

Flavor bomb! My husband, daughter, and I made a reservation for Saturday night. The historic building on high street is a nice touch, and we liked what they did with the interior. My husband and I shared the wedge salad with Gorgonzola cream dressing. The dressing was extremely flavorful and delicious. The wedge was cut into thirds which made it more refined and easier to share! For dinner my husband had the lobster roll, which he referred to as "the best sandwich he had eaten in a long time." My daughter had the cheeseburger that she said was perfect. I had the braised short ribs in red wine sauce. The wine sauce and creamy mashed potatoes that accompanied the short ribs made the dish! My husband and daughter kept asking for bites to taste. We look forward to dining at Frieda's again soon! read more

Pricey but worth it. Do yourself a favor and get the zucchini spirals! With ranch! Yummmmm Their pizza is great but I'm dying to try the lobster roll!! Cute outdoor seating too! read more

Made reservations for Saturday night. Love the look of this small restaurant. Lots of outdoor dining available. The cheeseburger was very good! So was the chicken scallopini. Will be back to try more. read more

This place was so good! All the food we had was absolutely spectacular. Our server was kind and funny. I actually had been craving Chicken Parmesan and they had it as one of their entree specials (not on the menu) which was fantastic! My husband tried one of their Mezcal specials and it tasted a little watery (but he didn't want to say anything!). I think when we come back he will try it again and I bet it will be perfect! Inside is small but they do a great job with making sure space is utilized. read more

We made reservations for a large group of people where I wasn't entirely sure how many people would come. The staff was very accommodating as we added more guests throughout the evening, and allowed us to reserve their whole beautiful outdoor patio. The wine and cocktail list was pretty extensive, and they had some of my favorite Paso wines by the glass that I haven't seen at other restaurants. The food was wonderful as well. So nice to have a local restaurant that meets all of the criteria of ambiance, great service and delicious food. Yay! read more

Great food and venue. Loved the Moorpark high school jazz band, too! I would definitely go back!

Took the wife here for date night, greater upon entry super nice place little small on the inside they also have outside seating. Ordered Mac and cheese bites 6 bites for 15 bucks! Pretty small delicious though, wife order chicken scallopini small portion as well said it was good. I order the burger which looked great fries were awesome but the bun sadly was a little stale, for desert ordered blueberry cobbler which wasn't that great watered down and first go around it was cold, told the service and they made a fresh one but still watered down. Service was good very quick to refill water and drinks came quickly. read more

Our waitress was great. Food was good, location was nice, thank the waitress for all the recommendations. Good luck with Family Therapy.

Decided to take my mom / family here for her birthday, poor choice and will not be back: Pros: 1. Good food Cons: 1. Entered the front door to a zoo and receptionist didn't acknowledge us for a few min. was entertaining hearing the receptionist/hostess/servers discuss how everything is out of control. This restaurant seems to be overcommitting and can't manage. 2. For our party of 11, we got seated with 5 menus. 6 more came 10 min later when our drink orders were taken. 3. Took 35 minutes to get drinks. Thankfully we ordered food and drinks together. 4. The bread appetizer we ordered came after we were done eating. Waiter mentioned the first one was burnt. 5. Daughter's chicken tenders came out last, about 15 minutes after all the other food delivered. Manager came over to apologize for the "disappearing chicken" but it never showed up to dissapear. When it arrived, the carrots we asked for in substitute of fries didn't come so the order was wrong. They did bring out carrots quickly, thanks. can't believe they charged us for the kids meal. I could go on. Place sucks and we will not be back. read more

I had a takeout order. The lobster roll was delicious with plenty of lobster. The fries were crisp and hot. The zucchini ribbons were really good with the marinara sauce. I also had the tiramisu which was a generous portion and very good. Overall I was pleased with my order. read more

Didn't talk long and the steak was the best thing I had. The people here are so nice and quick too. Overall recommended for a good dinner.

Best local Caesar salad with delicious Parmesan frico. The dough on the pizza is light with a great chew. Phil is a dough wizard. Lovely local mini chain we love to support. read more

Walking into this establishment, at first was a little shocked. It's very quaint and reminded me of a speakeasy. The staff was very welcoming upon entering and we were sat right away. Our waitress, Danielle, greeted us warmly and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She even made great suggestions. The ribbon zucchini was amazing, what a great appetizer! My kids LOVED the pizza (still talking about it). That dough is INCREDIBLE! I ordered the Wagyu beef burger and it was delicious! My wife ordered the chicken scallopini and I couldn't resist a bite...it was delightful! Be ready to eat, these portions were NOT small. They also have several different local beer options and some amazing barrel-aged whiskeys. We will be going back! read more

The service was lovely - thank you, Elizabeth. The hostess & bus gentleman were also very warm & friendly. However, we were VASTLY underwhelmed with the food. The Short Rib, just one (@$36), was dry. The Chicken Scallopini w/Spinach & Shitake Mushrooms: pasta was almost mush, chicken was dry & there were just a few tiny pieces of shitake (the whole reason I ordered this dish) & the rest of the mushrooms were some other species...all DROWNING in butter & oil. Just yuck. We like to support our Moorpark restaurant community but sorry Freda's. read more

My favorite restaurant in Ventura county. Finally I have a favorite spot in Moorpark. Petit filet and eggplant parm are our go to favorites. The owner used to have two restaurants just below our old house and now his new restaurant is below our new house. I'm a bit worried that with the new housing coming across the street that we'll get squeezed out with wait times. read more

Great place. First thing that stood out was the friendly staff. Constantly filling our drinks and check on us. Started with the zucchini ribbons and meatballs. Then had the lobster roll, cubano and diavola pizza. Came for lunch and can't wait to come back for dinner. read more

Okay this place is soooo yummy and so quaint!!! The service was amazing. Anastasia is the best and so friendly. Food came out fast and so hot. Definitely will be coming back here!

Decided to try out the new hotspot in Moorpark. The inside is very cute and small. I would recommend a reservation and to ask to not sit by the door as 1/4 of the restaurant is exposed to the cold when people walk in and out. They still didn't have their liquor license when we went which was a bummer but no biggie. Service was excellent, our server checked on us frequently along with the owner which was a nice touch. We started with the wings and zucchini. The wings were drumettes, very very small drumsticks, I was intrigued and asked the owner why they were so small. He stated it was how they cut the meat. It makes it so the small piece of meat falls off the bone. I actually really enjoyed them. The zucchini was crisp, served with a lovely marinara. I ordered the salmon and my guy ordered the short rib. My salmon was raw in the middle and I did end up sending it back, the owner was very apologetic and said that they serve it medium rare... I found this a little odd as I had never had salmon prepared that way. It was truly raw in the middle. But he was kind and sent it back. My guy enjoyed his short rib. Once getting the salmon back, I realized that cooking it again once It had cooled a bit made it much fishier lol the flavors were ok but it lacked the wow factor for me. Overall 3.5 stars. I'd love to come back and try the pizza as it looked really delicious. I think they still have some kinks to workout but overall it was a nice meal. read more

Solid family owned and operated restaurant. Service and menu all very well executed. Ambiance also very nice.

My husband and I were craving a pizza from Freda's in Camarillo. We decided to stay closer to home and go to the Freda's in Moorpark. The restaurant was very busy on Friday night and no tables were available except in what we were told was a "private " dining room. We said okay and were escorted to a back room of the restaurant. Apparently this Freda's location considers itself a high end eatery.The small room had three tables with two already occupied by parties of 4 or 5. The atmosphere was terrible with black paneled walls and bright fluorescent lights. We ordered a Margherita pizza (not on the menu here) . We wanted a large pizza but they only have one size here which looked to us like a medium. After a bit of a wait (we thought they forgot about us) the pizza finally arrived. We were surprised at the small size. When we were finished and ready to leave we waited so long for the check we had to ask another server who was waiting on another table. This was not the fun experience we were looking for and will be returning to the Camarillo location next time we crave a pizza. read more

Dinner with friends last night at Freda's. Started out with a couple of great appetizers a cheese dish and salad that we shared . Then the main event; san dabs, New Zealand salmon and Lobster roll. All were excellent. Mouse and Trimasu for desert. Met the owner, maestro. Cool eclectic happy place. Have fun. read more

Wonderful lunchtime meal on the charming patio. Service was excellent and the food delicious. Our table ordered a variety of items. I loved my Lobster Roll, with huge chucks of lobster, and will go back just for that. All our food was great, and the dessert exceptional! We had chocolate mousse and berry cobbler/crumble. Moorpark is lucky to have this restaurant! read more
