    Located in the Collection, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Immigrant Son Caffe. From the moment we walked up to the hostess stand, we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The menu had a nice selection of primarily savory options that made it hard to narrow down as everything sounded so good. Ultimately, I ended up going with the "Caffe Breakfast" ($19) which came with 2 eggs, my choice of bacon and season potatoes, along with a slice of ciabatta. Everything was delicious, but my favorite item on the plate actually ended up being their house made berry jam. It was so good paired with their perfectly crusty ciabatta bread! We also ordered the "Breakfast Charcuterie" as an appetizer which was beautifully plated. I loved the toasted focaccia and it was so fun getting to top your own bread with the sunny side up egg, creamy cheese options, fresh avocado, smoked salmon, pickled red onions, calabrian chili crunch, and pickled pistachios. While I didn't get to try their toasts, our table also ordered their "Salmon Avocado Toast" ($19) and their "Avocado Pomodoro Toast" ($18). Each dish was so aesthetically pleasing. I only wish the portions were a little bigger as everything felt on a bit on the smaller side and we all left still feeling like we could have eaten more. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the food and our experience at Immigrant Son Caffe. The restaurant was clean and inviting, the wait staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. If you're not an early riser, be prepared to wait though. When we arrived closer to 8:45am on a holiday weekday, we were able to get seated right away and there were only a few tables occupied. However, when we left closer to 9:45am, there was already a line formed outside that wrapped around the side of the building.

    Great place for brunch with unique and delicious brunch entrees and a good selection of familiar ones as well. Highly recommended the breakfast lasagna and chicken w waffles... I've not had a lasagna like this breakfast version and it was delicious, and the Belgian waffle was quite tasty and the perfectly prepped fried chicken pieces went well with the syrup and spicy butter. This place has large portions, friendly and attentive wait staff, lots of seating and free parking. This is our new Oxnard go to for brunch now!

    Really pretty and unique café I absolutely loved all the flag decor throughout the space--it's one of the first things you notice when you walk in and it gives the place such a fun vibe. Everyone was super welcoming, from the host to our waiter, which made the experience even better. They also have a coffee bar where you can just walk in and grab a drink without waiting, which is a huge plus. We came for brunch/breakfast, and while everything was good, I did notice they lean more toward brunch options rather than a wide variety of breakfast items. I started with my usual sugar-free vanilla oat latte, and it was sooo good--perfectly creamy and not too sweet, just how I like it. For food, I ordered the chicken parm panini with a side salad, and it did not disappoint. The bread was a little overwhelming, so I took some off, but overall it was still really good. We also tried the chicken and waffles--personally not my thing, but my boyfriend said it was just okay. They also didn't have ranch for the fried chicken, which was a bit of a downside. Service was amazing--Brandon was super accommodating, friendly, and answered all of our questions. Overall, such a great experience! I'd definitely come back with my girls for mimosas

    Pasta Carbonara

    Came here after a friend of mine recommended this restaurant to me. I love Italian food, especially authentic Italian food, so I was excited to try it. I was surprised to see that it was quite busy for the middle of the day on a Monday. But even though it was busy, we were seated right away. The restaurant is pretty, with different flags hanging all around. I like how bright and spacious it is. I don't like to sit too close to other people I don't know while I eat. One of the waitresses noticed that the sun was hitting me, so she asked me if I wanted her to lower the blinds, which was nice of her. After going through the menu, I decided to order their spaghetti and meatballs that they serve in a bread bowl! I had never heard of that before. The meatballs were hand-made and freshly made. The pasta was also cooked to perfection. My husband ordered their carbonara, and I have to say we both knew that their bacon had to be imported because it tasted just like the bacon we had in our recent trip to Italy. Very delicious and authentic food.

    I came here for my birthday for brunch on a Sunday. First of all the wait staff was incredibly on top of things and very welcoming. The food was top tier. I got the Aunt Anna eggs Benedict. I love that there were red potatoes and I appreciate that the fruit served with it was really fresh and something I enjoyed versus frozen melons served at other cafes. You know I had to try the cafe de Olla latte. It was perfection! They also give me a birthday tiramisu that I took to-go. Thank you!

    Sat quickly though the water glass didn't match my lip gloss. Wrong eggs Benedict served. When I did get the right one.....Salmon with Capers , slim on the salmon, hardly a caper or a red onion. It fell flat.

    We stopped by for a quick lunch on a Friday afternoon on the way to SLO. We found street parking. We shared a breakfast lasagna. It was very good. To drink my husband had the espresso martini (it is heavy on the espresso) and I had the empress gin spritz. Both good cocktails. Service was friendly and attentive. Cortni was our server and she was lovely. The restaurant was very warm and inviting.

    A Must-Visit Family Gem at The Collection! We had a wonderful breakfast at Immigrant Cafe. Despite the house being packed, the service was excellent--attentive and seamless. It's clear why there is so much positive word-of-mouth surrounding this family-owned local eatery. The atmosphere is beautiful; it features a fresh, contemporary aesthetic that feels upscale without being overstated. The Food: * Eggs Benedict: Perfectly executed and very tasty. * Giovanni Omelette: A meat-lover's dream! Loaded with savory prosciutto and pancetta. * Buttermilk Pancakes: Topped with strawberries and Nutella, these were a massive hit with my daughter. The drinks were a highlight, and the pricing is very fair for the quality and location. Buen provecho!

    Cleanliness: 5 out of 5 Service: 5 out of 5 Atmosphere: 5 out of 5 Food: 5 out of 5 My order: Belgian Waffle w/ whipped cream, Nutella, and strawberries and an espresso martini. Reflection: my meal was absolutely delicious! The other items were ordered by my husband and he enjoyed them as well.

    Super cute caffee! Loved the vibes, and everyone was super friendly and helpful. We came during the pumpkin spice season, so there were special items on the menu. Our server was very familiar with both the specials and the regulars. She was helpful but not pushy or trying to sell specific items. I got the seasonal omelette, and it was pretty good. The only downside is that there was a lot of squash in there, and I don't like squash. That's a personal preference, and I should have asked them what they meant for seasonal veggies. Otherwise, if you like squash, it's a winner!

    Shrimp Fra Diavolo

    I have been to the restaurant in the Ventura location, and I have wanted to try this new spot at The Collection in Oxnard since it opened. Finally, I got the chance. When I arrived, there was a long line to get in, and a server gave us a small cup of water (which was nice). My friend and I sat down at the bar, which is good for solo diners or couples. We ordered "Cousin Michael's Carbonara" and "Shrimp Fra Diavolo," along with orange juice (it was fresh, as they squeeze it here). The pastas tasted good. All the dishes were beautifully presented. After the meal, I ordered "Café de Olio," which was delicious. The service was friendly and excellent. It's an excellent place for couples, groups, or families. You can park in the parking lot at The Collection or find street parking nearby.

    I tried Immigrant Son Cafe for the first time and wow.. I don't know why I waited so long. We had an espresso martini and a vanilla latte, and both were absolutely delicious. For food, we ordered the breakfast lasagna and the avocado pomodoro toast, and everything was beyond amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you walk in. Definitely a new favorite spot ... can't wait to go back!

    If you're going to hang your hat on the speakeasy aesthetic--dim lights, hushed tones, whispers of…read moreexclusivity--then understand this: you're entering into an unspoken pact with your patrons. We expect a certain standard, a level of care that borders on obsession. So when I catch Evan Williams--respectable, questionable, but barely twelve bucks a bottle--making an appearance behind the bar, it feels like a breach of trust. A quiet betrayal under low lighting. The illusion only works if the details hold up under scrutiny... and that pour? It broke the spell. And then comes the real offense: discovering that your Old Fashioned--the crown jewel of any respectable cocktail program--are built on bottom-shelf, dust-collecting bourbon. That's not just a letdown, it's a slap in the face. A cocktail like that deserves reverence, not shortcuts. And as if to twist the knife, there it was--a massive can of red maraschino cherries sitting shamelessly atop the bar, like some relic from a dive that's given up on finesse. It wasn't just a misstep. It was disrespect. In a place claiming the speakeasy mantle, details like these matter. They're the difference between theater and parody. The cocktails did not warrant the $15 price tag. Moreover, I would have paid more had I know the class of bourbon upfront. What ultimately redeems the space is its ambiance. The low flicker of the fireplace, the soft embrace of worn leather sofas, the curated hum of music floating just above conversation--it's seductive, even soulful. The room itself is small, intimate--the kind of place where you're bound to recognize a face, or at the very least, feel inclined to invite a stranger to share the sofa and maybe a story. And then there's the setting--tucked beneath a historic relic, a basement bar built into the bones of old Americana. The building dates back to the early 1900s, echoing with a past that deserves to be honored, not phoned in. That's exactly why I expected more from the cocktails. A place with this much atmosphere shouldn't fall flat when it comes to what's in the glass. It's a mismatch--a beautiful stage, but a script that doesn't quite rise to meet it.

    I absolutely cannot get enough of this place…read more The basement here is really the place to be. I love the ambiance, and the history on the walls.

The happy hour deals are great. The food is good, and the sizes of the dishes are still full sized, not slightly smaller to fulfill happy hour pricing.

Definitely makes me ok to come back, and most likely will, as the deals are good when it's happy hours. The inside is clean and spacious, will seating and tables decently placed and spaced from each other. Come try it, especially during happy hours! We ordered the seared tuna, it was delicious. Comes with 6 slices. We also ordered a seared tuna salad, and that tuna had a different flavor, slightly more spicier, but good too. The calamari is still good, but not as I had memorized from past visits, but still pretty good. The cheese curds are pretty awesome if you like cheese curds. Would definitely get it again. The Brussels, ask for the sauce on the side so you can dip as much as you want instead of having it drenched in the sauce. The pizzas are worth it, order one, or two. We got a pepperoni with no cheese for our intolerant peoples, and then got a regular mushroom truffle, both very delicious. The crust is soft, thin, and fluffy. The sauce is good, and the ingredients are all great together. Sliders, get them. Truffle fries, if you like truffle flavor, get it.

The day before, the owner Michele couldn't seem to find the paperwork where we discussed menu, family style, decor, budget etc. Thankfully, we went in the day before to double check everything. Not only were we met with a misogynistic retort to everything we talked about but he did not clarify any details that we later found out would be important. The day of the event, we accidentally hit a bottle of wine bringing in the decorations. Total accident! During the party, we had to constantly find our server (super nice guy but terrible service) to take drink orders, to take food orders, and to clear the table and bring to go boxes. Drinks weren't refilled. We cut and served the cake we brought. Then our bill comes and surprising to us, we were charged a room fee (which I confirmed they DID NOT have prior to booking), charged a cake fee (just for them to store it in their fridge and NEVER told there would be a fee for bringing a dessert, despite Michele asking the day before if we were bringing our own or using them for dessert), and he charged us $50 for the bottle we accidentally broke. With all these extra charges, in addition to already paying a deposit, we were way over the previously discussed budget. I never would have agreed to his idea of everyone ordering individual dishes instead of family style plus his outrageous extra fees had I know it was going to blow the budget. He had every opportunity to tell us there is a cake fee (never have I EVER had to pay a fee to bring a cake- even our server said he felt it was in poor taste to charge us for that). We refused to pay the room fee because we already put down a deposit and were never told there would be these extraneous charges! The terrible ending happened when I slipped and fell (8 months pregnant) in the front of the restaurant RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OWNER, who stood over me as I was on the ground, and said "you must have slipped on the wine you spilled." Never offered concern, never offered to help me and never apologized. A staff member from the kitchen ran out to help me despite Michel being an arms length from me, looking down on me. Such a disgrace. My dress was dirtied from their floor and I was left with bruises on my knees the next day. No wet floor sign, clearly the floor wasn't cleaned up properly or dried. We will never patronize this restaurant again. What was meant to be a beautiful event turned into a calamity met with a chauvinist owner who lacks customer service and compassion.
