    All three desserts.  Closest is the butter cake, then Keylime, the farthest is the creme brulee.
    Debby B.

    Thank you Larsen's Grill in Oxnard for saving our Christmas dinner! The restaurant we had reservations for flooded due to the rain storm of the century and could not open. We called Larsen's and they had an open reservation at 7:30 PM. We were greeted with friendly faces, a joyful ambience in the restaurant and it was definitely Christmas. We had two dinners of lobster tail and one of the pork chop. This was a preset menu, which was very representative of their excellent food. The pork chop was probably the best pork chop we've ever had in our lives. It was prepared sous vide style and so tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly. The lobster tails were good size, broiled, but a little dry and not much flavor but the butter made them all better. We still enjoyed it and really were happy to be there. We tried 3 of the desserts. The maple bourbon crème brûlée, the butter cake and their house-made Keylime pie. There were three of us eating and we all tried these options. We had two thumbs up on the crème brûlée, one thumb up on the butter cake and no thumbs up on the Keylime pie. The Keylime pie was similar in our mind to a cheesecake (huge piece, super creamy but it's not what we were used to. The crème brûlée was delicious, but we didn't get much maple bourbon flavor. The butter cake tasted and felt like a cake doughnut, delicious but not what we expected. We also enjoyed the maple carrots side dish, it was fantastic! All in all the dinner was successful and again thank you Larsen's for serving us all on Christmas instead of you being home with your families. It is truly appreciated!!!

    After having Larsen's here for years, we finally had dinner here. Such nice vibes inside. Upscale but relaxing. Delicious steaks, cooked to perfection. Nice cocktail menu. Extensive wine menu. Wish they offered a decent bread option. Normally steakhouses offer a good bread and butter menu option, and their garlic bread just doesn't cut it. Easy parking, short walk. Definitely pricier, but a good choice for a steakhouse.

    Stopped in as the restaurant we were intending to go to had a 35 minute wait so thankfully Larsen's had plenty of available seating and did not disappoint! There was a piano player at the bar and made for the best ambience while dining in the main dining room and our server was spectacular. The food was delicious and the drinks were good and overall made for a nice evening before we had to attend a show at the comedy club nearby.

    First time here ! Happy hour is pretty good The shrimp tacos were the best I've ever had! They have a good spicy kick The Hawaiian Tri tip had a good flavor but the meat was not very tender and was a little Rough to tear off The sliders were nothing special but tasty they just need a little extra pizzazz The butter cake was 10/10 phenomenal Good customer service and beautiful restaurant and they have live music singer with pianist vibes were nice

    celebrated our daughter's wedding with a small family dinner the evening after. they accommodated our party size perfectly an Eddie our server was attentive and courteous. while the miso soup arrived cold, it was replaced fairly quickly. I had the rib/trip tip combo and the ribs slid right off the bone. very extensive wine and cocktail list. the 2022 Austin Hope did not disappoint. the desserts were decadent and could feed a small country. try the butter cake! The next day I had a voicemail from the restaurant thanking us for visiting and offering to answer any questions or take feedback. That kind of customer service is very rare and I would go back in a heartbeat.

    I want to start this review by thanking Mark for his above and beyond service at Larsen's. His attention to detail was what completed our dinner. I chose Larsen's to celebrate my mother's birthday and made a dinner reservation online for 6 of us. We were a larger party which is why the attention to detail was clearly delivered. We started our dinner with 2 appetizers of the Jalapeno Queso Dip and Guac, creamy, cheesy, and with a little bit of spicy. Great appetizer to start. Everyone in the my party enjoyed their entrees from the New York Strip, Filet Mignon, Porterhouse, Rib Eye, and Sea Bass. I ordered the Hawaiian Tri Tip which I will rate an 8/10. The tri tip was a bit overcooked but next time I will simply choose a different entree. The flavor and taste was great. It paired great with their mac and cheese (order a larger size as it is very rich and creamy. Try and save some room for their dessert menu. The butter cake pairs excellent with vanilla ice cream. Among the dessert drink menu the PB & J Old Fashioned drinks tastes exactly like the classic PB & J sandwich. Overall, stellar food and stellar service for a beautiful night to celebrate a birthday.

    Stopped by for dinner on a Tuesday. Not many people at 5, but Larsen's ambiance and service is always on point. Thank you Jonathan for a delicious dinner.

    I was spending the night in Oxnard and felt like prime rib so, I hit up Larsen's Grill in the Collection. I ordered a glass of the Sonoma Chardonnay and of course the Prime Rib medium rare and of course, everything was just outstanding. Not only was the food outstanding but also the service as I was sitting at the Bar. Great Job and if you are ever in the area, check them out and I'm sure you will enjoy your evening.

    Went for Happy Hour . Service is amazing. The calamari tasted awful but really enjoyed the steak tacos and spinach dip. It's supposed to be spinach /artichoke but it was all spinach . Still great . House wine was good too. Why the 5 stars ? It is because when I told the server , Alex about the issue he took the dish away immediately and asked if he could bring anything else while apologizing. He went above and beyond to make sure ... he could make it right . We opted not to get anything else . The Christmas decor , dim lighting and soft music playing is always a vibe. Great place to meet friends and be able to catch up.

    Would highly recommend for special occasions waiter Eddie was on point an excellent service

    This review is strictly for the kitchen. Ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and the chips were extremely stale, but was replaced by our waitress who was extremely understanding. my husband ordered the ribeye asked for medium and it came out rare towards the middle and fat parts of the steak. For the pricing of the menu, you would think the food would come out correct the first time. Be cautious of the steaks if ordering any. Update: DO NOT recommend this place to eat!! My husband got food poisoning not long after eating from this restaurant. We will never be returning again.

    Horrible "crème brule"

    Disappointed overall. The food was just okay, but definitely overpriced for the quality. Service was very slow throughout the meal, and we ran into cleanliness issues that were hard to overlook. Several plates we were given were dirty and had to be replaced, and the tablecloth was also visibly dirty. The bottoms of some plates were unclean as well, which we documented in photos. Dessert was especially disappointing. The crème brûlée was genuinely bad. Three different people at our table tried it and all agreed it was unpleasant. For the price point, we expected much better service, attention to detail, and overall quality. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth it.

We came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We each ordered a cocktail. She got a blueberry margarita and I got a cucumber gin mixed drink. Both were refreshing and delicious. We ended up ordering another round. For appetizers we ordered the crispy maple Brussels and tuna & salmon tartare. The Brussels were fried to perfection and glazed a sweet maple syrup. It also came with thick cuts of bacon. Definitely recommend this. For the tartare, it was also delicious and fresh. It was mixed with avocado and turnip. We thought the turnip would be off putting but it actually meshed well with the flavors. Came with fried wonton chips. For the main course we shared the NY strip and Lobster Malfaldine. The steak was cooked to perfection with a very nice sear and flavored well. Probably one of the better steaks I've ever had. Definitely beats out any steakhouse steak. The Lobster Malfaldine was also absolutely delicious. Most of the time, lobster pasta is usually a bit bland and lacking in lobster. NOT HERE. They included big chunks of lobster and the sauce was so good. Lastly, we ended our dinner with the Strawberry Hand Pie. This is basically a warm strawberry strudel with vanilla bean ice cream. They used locally sourced strawberries and I'm still thinking about it as I'm writing this review. Adrienne was our server and she was very nice and attentive. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they comped our dessert. Super nice staff!

However the quality control & staff members are sadly inconsistent. They are slow to greet slow to check back in (poorly trained). Some times the Bloody Mary has salt sometimes not, sometimes there is 5 pieces of bacon for breakfast sometimes 3. Food often comes out not at the same time so some items are cold while others just arrived (again poor training). At that price point everything should be on point!

After much consideration (as they have over 20 food items on the Happy Hour menu!), I tried the bacon-wrapped shrimp, steak tacos, and prime chicken sandwich. While the steak in the tacos was rubbery and lacked flavor, the bacon-wrapped shrimp was divine, and the prime chicken sandwich was cooked to perfection. Also, the prices were incredibly reasonable. The server was constantly checking in on us, and you could sit inside or on the patio. It gets busy quickly, though, depending on whether you're there during the weekend and what time you arrive. The restaurant has a nice, intimate setting, and I'm eager to try some of Prime's other Happy Hour menu offerings or the full menu in the future.

And we ordered the chefs charcuterie board. The charcuterie board was delicious! The bread was warm and obviously homemade.

I was really impressed by their wine dispensers and how many varieties they had of different selections. I think overall we tried 4-6 different wines for less than $40. The ambiance of the inside reminds me a little bit of Squidwards house (but in a good way) with a high arched ceiling and classical decor.

I'm really glad he did because it's the kind of place I probably wouldn't have found on my own. The first thing that caught our attention was the self-serve wine dispensers lined with bottles ready to sample. We had a lot of fun walking back and forth, looking over the different selections, and deciding what to taste next. Being able to sample wines by the ounce before committing to a full glass made the whole experience feel interactive. I especially liked that I could compare different Cabernet Sauvignons side by side, which isn't something you get to do very often. After trying a few different Cabernets, Chimney Rock ended up being my favorite. The dining room added to the experience. The cave-like ceilings, warm lighting, and comfortably spaced tables made it easy to settle in, enjoy our lunch, and catch up without feeling cramped or rushed. If you enjoy trying different wines, it's easy to lose track of time here. We started with a cheese plate, which turned out to be much more generous than I expected. It came with a nice assortment of cheeses, crisp apple slices, grapes, candied walnuts, crostini, and a savory relish on the side. It was a great dish to share with our wine. My friend ordered the tuna poke tower, and we shared the cheese flatbread and sweet potato fries. I went with the Original Cave Salad with salmon, which came with a generous piece of perfectly cooked salmon over fresh greens, apples, grapes, walnuts, and blue cheese. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous enough that we left completely satisfied. One thing I appreciated was that we never felt rushed. Lunch naturally turned into an afternoon of catching up, comparing notes on the different wines, and deciding which pours we wanted to try next. Before we left, we wandered through the wine shop one more time. If you discover a favorite during lunch, you can pick up a bottle before heading home, which is a nice touch. I'm really glad my friend found this place. The next time I'm in Ventura, it'll definitely be on my list again.
