    Our group recently visited Mrs. Olson's Coffee Hut after seeing several photos of their menu and dishes that made me really excited to try it. The restaurant has a beautiful location and charming décor, which created a very pleasant atmosphere and made us look forward to our meal. During our visit, a few menu items we were interested in -- including the clam chowder -- were unfortunately unavailable. I ended up ordering the tri-tip tacos. The flavor merely okay, the presentation and toppings were minimal compared to what i expected, and some ingredients such as cilantro were missing. Additionally, most of the meals at our table had small errors or missing components. Omelettes missing tri-tip or other protein also, when the food was delivered, several dishes were served to the wrong guests, which created some confusion at the table. The staff was polite and did make an effort to address the concerns, which we appreciated, but the overall dining experience did not fully meet our expectations. Only one plate was not wrong. This location is definitely worth visiting for the scenery, ambiance, and possibly drinks. Hopefully, our experience was just an off day, as the setting truly is lovely. With more consistency in menu availability, order accuracy, and food preparation, it could be a wonderful dining destination. As a place to eat I would not recommend.

    Overpriced basic coffee. $10 for 2.

    Dude? What happened here? I grew up in Hollywoodbeach and the Shores, back when this was at the OG Location (between sunset and ocean Dr - where Holltwoodbeach Cafe resides), this was THE BRUNCH SPOT... Since they've moved to the old Pirates grub n grog I am shocked at everything. I went in on a slow morning, bus boy greeted us and sat us at a table. Service wasn't the issue. The $10 for two coffees was. The weird "Mrs. Olson's famous shrimp tacos" or cocktail, whatever it was - was nothing that I recalled from before. I get times change, prices increase etc. but I don't know who runs this place but I'm not coming back. I couldn't digest the change and price gouge, the only thing I remember loving was the "potatoes deluxe" which I think is now called "Mrs. Olsons potatoes", who knows couldn't be bothered to get food here. I uploaded a picture of my receipt for my $10 of two very regular, watered down coffee.

    Enjoying hot chocolate!!!!!

    We discovered this spot even before we had a chance to fully familiarize ourselves with the area. Coincidentally, a few nights earlier, we had dinner upstairs at the Lookout Bar. While the nightlife at Mrs. Olens was definitely lively and cool--personally, not my usual scene--it was fun to watch the punk rock mosh pit from outside. We arrived on a Sunday morning expecting it to be busy, but to our surprise, it was quite quiet around 8:30 AM. For breakfast, I tried the chilaquiles, as well as the pancakes and French toast. The flavors were good and satisfying, though nothing particularly extraordinary. There was an extra charge for eggs, which was expected with the price increase, overall, the meal was enjoyable. I'd love to come back and try their Bloody Mary's--they looked incredibly refreshing and delicious!

    Who the heck owns this place?! It was honestly nasty What happened here??? The fact that there was no line on a Sunday should've been the first sign . We waited about 30 minutes just for a waitress, and when she finally came over there was zero charm, no warmth, nothing. It felt like we were bothering her just by being there . Then we waited another 30 minutes for the food, and when it finally came out the plates looked sad . The so-called famous Ms. Olsen potatoes were completely lacking flavor -- if you know, you know. The hash browns honestly tasted like they came straight from the freezer . I ordered the eggs Benedict and the sauce tasted totally generic, like something out of a bottle ‍. And $5.00 for a cup of coffee??? That would be fine if it was good, but it tasted watered down Not to mention it was nothing but senior citizens in there and it honestly felt like they're taking advantage of people. They even added gratuity to a table of 6 without saying anything . That's not okay at all. And on top of that, there was some kind of harbor fee added to the bill -- that's something the owners should be paying, not the customers. Super disappointing experience overall. The food, the service, the wait time, and the surprise charges at the end -- none of it was worth it. We will definitely not be coming back .

    Friendly staff and wonderful views! Great food! I added tri tip to to my chilaquiles!! Erica was so friendly and helpful! Thank you!!! So stoked to have this breakfast spot lo ked in! Sunday mornings before a trip to the farmers market just a short walk away! I made the mistake of going to Hollywood Beach cafe before I ended up here. THAT won't happen again!

    Surfer Burrito
    Nate E.

    Came here when they opened. Nice location at Channel Islands Harbor, especially with their outdoor seating. Expect morning gloom but later in the morning with the sun coming out would make it nicer. As for the Surfer Burrito, it's definitely a big portion but wish there was more to it than eggs and potatoes. Thankfully both were well made and the potatoes had a good crisp to it. The cheese, sour cream and onions went well but the salsa verde provided a good kick. Overall good consistency for a hearty breakfast. Recommend eating half! Service was good considering the morning time frame so was taking care of especially with the coffee. Would come back to try other food on the menu.

    I came back to Oxnard for the weekend after a very stressful week. My anxiousness got the best of me and I needed to go to the beach house to relax. I was hungry on Sunday and wanted to try out something new, something I haven't experienced before. I came to this breakfast brunch and lunch place called Mrs. Olsen's. Upon entering the time to seat us was immediate. The interior is decorative and really brings out a great attitude to customers. It was a foggy, gloomy and overcast day and so outside the chairs and tables were surrounded by mud. We opted to stay inside to dine instead. The wait time to get drinks and order was fairly quick; however receiving the food took way longer than I was used to or expecting. Give or take 25 minutes +/- 5. The food itself? It was rather spicy. I ordered the chile relleno off the popular dishes menu with hash browns and sourdough bread. The food itself was incredibly salty because it was an omelette that was smothered with chili, cheese and onions and the chile inside was stuffed with more jack cheese. Overall, the taste was exquisite and I liked it. The saltiness I feel should have been less. The hash browns were solid, cooked well and had a nice crunchy bite to it. Sourdough bread was good as well. It was $20 which is too high of price for this dish but it was enjoyable and filling. The other item ordered was the two eggs Benedict with the hollandaise on the side. It was average, but it came with o Brien potatoes that were more or less, not bad. The interior had a musical hippy vibe going for it, but expect long wait time for food and above average service. The toilets in the bathrooms were out of order. It was cold inside because the doors and windows were open and the cold overcast breeze crept in. I enjoyed it. The eggs Benedict was $15 and then on top of it all, an additional harbor fee is added that was like an additional $5 or so. Not a great value overall, but the food, service and ambiance made the experience acceptable.

    Spinach Benedict with Olsens potatoes
    Anastacia M.

    Our server was lovely and happily substituted spinach for the bacon bits on our Benedicts. Delicious and very filling. Great place to have brunch in the sand and look at the harbor and dog friendly too! Competitive prices and a robust menu too!

    Came here on a Sunday brunch they had music playing. It wasn't so packed, but yet the service was not there as you walk in. The two ladies in the counter were just talking. They were not ready to serve customers walking in after we got sat took about five minutes for somebody to take our drinks. I just didn't feel a friendly vibe or welcoming. Then we had to catch our waiter to be able to order our food. The food itself was not so tasty. Not sure that I will come back again. Things have really changed here. I don't remember it being like this. When we were sitting and with our food already, there was a gentleman standing by the bar, trying to get a drink, and two employees passed by him and didn't even acknowledge him.

For starters, we had fresh seared ahi tuna, delicious crab cakes, perfectly battered shrimp, and crispy calamari served with a marinara sauce that had just the right amount of spice. Our table enjoyed the chicken piccata, lobster ravioli, and Wagyu burger, and every entrée was excellent. The blackberry margaritas were a standout and worth the visit alone! Dessert was the perfect finish with tiramisu, rich chocolate cake, and incredible churro waffles topped with caramel cream sauce, walnuts, and strawberries. Chef's kiss to all three. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and upscale, with great outdoor seating and harbor views. The packed bar area made it clear this is a local favorite. Highly recommend Waterside whenever you're in the Oxnard/Channel Islands area. We will definitely be back!

We ordered the Ribeye and Carbonara, along with the garlic fries and a blackberry margarita. The Ribeye was cooked beautifully, was juicy and had lots of flavor. At no fault to the restaurant, there was a lot of fat on our cut. Disappointingly, the veggies and mashed potatoes tasted bland and basic, as if from a can. The carbonara was delicious, with crunchy bacon bits and fresh tomato cuts. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was the right consistency. The garlic fries lacked actual "garlic" flavoring, and tasted like regular fries. The blackberry margarita was very delicious. 3/5 stars - Will return

    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.

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!
