    HAIR IN THE FOOD
    Luna G.

    OH NO! After trying this place and coming here for the past 2 months or so, it didn't take too long to find a short curly black hair IN MY FOOD. SO upsetting from this restaurant, especially since they were promising. We spent just about $40 on food and drinks, just to throw out my whole meal after only a few bites! I felt so bad for wasting it, but went from really hungry to literally not being hungry in the slightest. It wasn't in my partner's food, and yet it still grossed them out enough to stop eating, as well. We would have went back and gotten a refund if we weren't already sat at home with the to-go food. You can tell the cleanliness is not being kept up with over time and that their standards for being hygienic are not a priority. I would skip next time if I were you!!

    I like chicken teriyaki here. It is delicious. When I think of a good teriyaki, I have to say this place is great by far. This is like the third time I came here. It is like a fast food place, but the food is fresh and steaming hot. The service is nice. The restaurant is nice and clean, plenty of table to dine in or sit outside. Not fancy, but like I mentioned earlier, they have a good chicken teriyaki and really nice portion.

    Luau Grill was good and hit the spot. Another Hawaiian bbq chain I was hoping for something that makes this place a standout from the rest but overall it is pretty standard. Not a bad thing and at least you know what you are going to get. I will say the restaurant interior and cleanliness is 5 stars. Very well maintained and clean inside. Clean bathrooms are always an added plus. Great music playing inside and I super appreciate that they have all of the sauces available in the lobby to grab. This was a big plus for me (no awkward asking for extra sauces or worrying that sauces won't get packed). Another strong plus was the service. The gentleman that helped us behind the counter today was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions. A nice guy. The food overall was good, standard tasty chain Hawaiian bbq. I ended up going with the duo of chicken plate. Hawaiian chicken (like a grilled teriyaki) and their chicken Katsu. Solid all around but I definitely prefer the Katsu. Their Hawaiian chicken was a little stringy and not super juicy. Still good. Their Mac salad is a 10/10. Love the hints of tuna and how creamy it is. Delicious. Paired my meal with a Hawaiian juice and you can't go wrong. Meals are about $20 a person. Pretty good sized proteins. Happy I came for dinner and would keep this spot in mind again in the future.

    Needed a Hawaiian fix so I decided to try Luau Grill. Pleasantly surprised that it's affiliated with one of my favorite Hawaiian restaurants in Ventura county Q and Q Grill. Same menu and food. Clean Hawaiian theme decor and friendly staff. Come check it out the next time you crave a taste of the islands.

    Mixed Meat entree to go
    Angela D.

    We decided to give this place a shot and ordered an entree to go. Their setup with the utensils, napkins and sauce packets to go made it convenient to access everything you needed. The mixed bbq plate with the side of rice and macaroni was hot and fresh. Everything came out good and it's a nice spot to get lunch nearby. The chicken teriyaki, veggie, and rice bowl looked good to get on another day.

    Normally I do not like ordering fried fish to go because to no fault at all of the restaurant the breading becomes mushy and not pleasant. Not this place. The island white fish was moist inside, fish was very flavorful and some of the crispiest breaded fish I've ever had. I Highly recommend if you are craving some good fish filets. The price of the plate was more than fair for the amount of food you get. Mac salad was great , rice was the perfect temperature and cook like it should be on a Hawaiian plate. Spam Musubi was how it should be with the teriyaki sauce and katsu sauce for dipping. Would love to come back and try the Chicken Katsu, Loco Moco and Spare Ribs.

    Poke bowl

    Luau Grill is a solid spot for anyone craving authentic Hawaiian food, especially if you're far from the islands like I am. The flavors instantly bring me back home--comforting, familiar, and truly ono. It's hard to find places that get it right, but Luau Grill delivers. The convenience of having my favorite local dishes nearby is unbeatable. My only gripe is the poke bowl--I just wish it came with a bit more poke. Still, it's hands-down my go-to place when I'm missing the taste of home. Friendly service, great food, and a little taste of Hawaii right here on the mainland.

    Food was poor quality. Threw half away as the meat was grisly. Place was clean and ambiance was generic.

Plenty of free self parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Beautifully appointed and upscale, yet comfortable. Indoor and outdoor tables and booths and a full bar. They do not take reservations and are very popular, so you'll end up waiting a bit at busier times. Service 4 stars: Possibly server-dependent, but we have always been lucky to have friendly, attentive and helpful greeters and servers. Drinks 5 stars: Full bar. Specialty Cocktails, choice of premium spirits, beer (draft and bottle), wine, soft drinks, coffee and tea. Reasonable prices. Their Old Fashioned, the Fresh Cucumber Martini, and the Smokey, Sweet & Spicy are great and highly recommended. Food 5 stars: Mostly American Coastal cuisine but also offering some non-seafood options. Their Harvest Salad rocks! This time around we had the Veracruz Chowder, Sally's Sand Dabs, Miso Glazed Salmon Bowl and the Alaskan Halibut. All wonderful and highly recommended!

    I think this place may be my new favorite restaurant…read more My friend and I walked in on a Friday night at 6:30 PM, with no reservations. The place was packed, but I have to assume we got really lucky because we got seated right away at an open table near the front. Our server greeted us immediately and brought us waters for the table. We were overwhelmed initially by the menu options because everything sounded incredible. We asked our waitress what she recommended, and she said literally everything on the menu is amazing - nothing is bad and every dish is popular. So I was quite impressed to hear that. My friend and I decided to get the steak tartare, woodfire grilled octopus, fried gnocchi, and chicken liver pate. Every single dish was actually incredible. The chicken liver pate came with four slices of toast, some pickled vegetables and ground mustard. The pate was creamy, rich, slightly on the sweeter side, so it paired perfectly with the tang from the ground mustard & pickled vegetables. The woodfire grilled octopus was cooked perfectly. Seriously the best, freshest octopus I've ever had! It wasn't chewy or fishy at all. The texture was absolutely perfect. It was very easy to cut into and juicy. It was paired perfectly with the aïoli as well. The steak tartare was extremely fresh. One of the things that I hate about steak tartare at restaurants sometimes is it will start to look brown from the meat oxidizing so it doesn't always look as appetizing, but this tartare was still had that vibrant red color as if they had just cut the meat. Lastly, the fried gnocchi was amazing. It's the first time I've ever had a dish with fried gnocchi. They paired it with a cream sauce that was absolutely delicious. I wish I remembered what was in it, but it was so good. I wanted to drink that sauce lol. Love how the gnocchi was also perfectly seared, had no lumps, and basically melts in your mouth. Overall, loved the ambience of this place as well. It's very hip. trendy. Definitely a louder environment but perfect for a weekend night out to enjoy great food. I would recommend making reservations. I think my friend and I probably just got lucky because we went a little bit earlier on a Friday night. Also wanna mention all of the wait staff was amazing. Food was served very quickly and we had no issues with any of our orders. I seriously cannot wait to come back here and try every single thing on the menu!

Let's start with their FRITTO MISTO, a mouthwatering combination of fried calamari and shrimp. The addictive sauce that accompanies it is a must-order, and we often find ourselves ordering extra! For a hearty side, try their grandmother Nonna's meatballs, POLPETTE DELLA NONNA. They're incredibly tasty and a great way to start your meal. If you're a fan of zucchini blossoms, you'll absolutely love their FIORI DI ZUCCA RIPIENI. It's a delightful dish that's sure to impress. One of my favorite salads is their INSALATA DELLA CASA, which is a refreshing and healthy option. Adding grilled shrimp takes it to the next level. Now, let's talk about their main courses. Their seafood and pasta dishes are all mouthwatering, but here are our favorites: 1) CACIO E PEPE: This dish is incredibly delicious and goes to another level when you add their grilled shrimp and truffle. 2) BRANZINO: Their seafood is cooked perfectly every time, and they often have HALIBUT as a special dish, which we love as a great alternative. 3) BOLOGNESE: Our son absolutely devours this dish, and it's a great option for kids. 4) STROZZAPRETI: This pasta dish is another great choice, filled with a lot of flavor. 5) LASAGNA: It used to be our number one dish until we started exploring their menu. 6) BRASATO DI MANZI: This is an ultra-delicious bone-in slow-braised beef short rib dish that's out of this world! And finally, let's talk about dessert. Their NONNA'S CAKE is the best butter cake ever! It's their grandmother's own recipe, and it's a must-try. Try to save room or split it with a partner, because you'll want to savor every bite of this magical treat!

They should always be attentive. Especially during a busy dinner time.
