    Met some friends for drinks and entertainment last night. The service was great they eat checking on us making sure our party was good and if we needed anything. We didn't feel overlooked or ignored. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was minimal but fancy the artwork on the walls were so pretty, each time I looked over I imagined myself at the waterfall in the painting on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My experience at onyx was very inviting and loved the live music. The singer has a great voice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be returning again. Thank you for a wonderful experience at your establishment.

    Sweet potato gnocchi.

    It's all tasty. The appetizers, the main dishes, and the desserts. I don't partake in wine, so I can't comment on that. But, there are a lot of options. The chef combines excellent flavors and uses super interesting ingredients. The wait staff is repetitively kind, thorough, and very pleasant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a nice ambiance. Glass and wood. Art on the walls that changes a bit. Clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this spot. You'll appreciate it.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came here on a Friday night, nice live band inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered their pork chop and turkey meat ball sandwich. I really recommend their pork chop which came with asparagus and risotto. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A very nice atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mushroom bucatini (vegan) it looks prettier than the picture since I was eating when I took it.
    Jenn W.

    We went there last night. Food was great per usual. Had goat cheese stuffed dates which were incredible. Then I had a mushroom bucatini that was vegan and beyond delicious. We learned that the chef has similar dietary restrictions as me so that was incredible. And finally, even though I was stuffed we had a the apple crumble with coconut ice cream. Oh my! Thank you for an incredible dinner!

    VERY HAPPY mother's DAY!!
    Raven W.

    Went here for their Mother's Day special - BEST TIME EVER!! Band played Neil Diamond, my FAVORITE! Food was FANTASTIC and great price, too. Very rare that I have leftovers to take home, but hubby and I both cleared our plates! Location was 5 minutes from our home... so we plan to return many times. Special thanks to our server Mason... he was sooo cool and calm and professional for all the customers! Wonderful experience on our very special day! THANK YOU!!1

    Had a lovely evening at Onyx Bistro and am glad Camarillo has this cute wine and tapas bar. The vibes are cool, good service, and a great wine and food menu. I love that despite this location being in a busier shopping center they've done a pretty good job of making it intimate and cozy on the patio. You really wouldn't realize you're in a busier shopping center with the patio being off to the side and a cute little fire pit and tables. The inside is a lot of high top tables and they had live music on a Sunday evening. Definitely comfortable vibes. Been here a few times and the crowd seems to be a little on the older side so hoping my review will help broaden the audience. The menu is pretty extensive with beers and wine. No real cocktails but it's a wine bar so definitely get the wine. The food menu is really great too! Lots of tapas and shared bites to pick from. As far as main dishes go they have some nice fancy options like risotto and different seafood options. Pretty good variety if you ask me. It's usually rare for a wine bar to have food, let alone an entire stellar menu. I've met the owner and she is super nice and personable. Honestly the staff are all very nice and welcoming. Good service overall and people who seem passionate about this business. A staff that stood out to me was Sophie, she gave great recommendations on her favorite foods here and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She made us want to come back for a proper dinner. For wine my friends and I appreciate the variety. I'm not a big wine drinker so I usually go with their moscato because I like something sweet. Here it's perfect. My friend got a chilled white wine that she was also very happy with. Every food bite I've had here has been super tasty. My favorite is definitely their hummus plate. Great flavored hummus and the veggies and charred pita bread bites are perfect for dipping. We tried the fig jam and bacon pizza with arugula which was also tasty and filling. Good potato skins and salads. Happy hour is pretty good too! I like that the hours are extended and don't end at 4/5pm like most places. They had dollar off beers and some $10 wine glasses. If you are in Camarillo or just generally looking for a really solid wine bar with food in the 805 then this spot is surely for you. Passionate owner and nice staff, it's easy to want to keep giving them my business.

    Warm apple crisp
    Tommy L.

    Been here twice. Once for a large party celebration and once for happy hour with a friend. I dig the vibes here. Especially on a nice day, sitting outside, with a refreshing rose in your glass. For food, the flatbread has been consistently good the both times I've tried time. However, the wild mushroom bucatini can be improved--I find it a bit too salty. My friend agreed as well. For dessert, the warm apple crisp is so good. It's something I would order again. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Parking in the lot. Would come back again.

    Salmon cakes ( limited time special)

    Absolutely delicious!!! We couldn't stop picking off of eachothers plates. Everything on the menu is delicious! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Even got to meet the wonderful Chef herself, she is so kind and passionate about her work. Everyone must try!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also had live music with a young woman who played piano and sung which was very nice I appreciated that we were all still able to socialize without having to yell over the table![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please try!

    Goat Flatbread
    Sana T.

    Great menu, great taste, great staff! We went for a quick girls dinner and this place was perfect! The wine selection is great and the everyone loves the good! I got the GOAT flatbread and it was delicious!

    Wine on the Outdoor Patio
    Alyssa A.

    What a hidden gem! Our friend kept recommending them to us, and we finally made it over. Such a great dining experience that we wish we had tried it sooner! Right off the bat, Onyx gave off an elegant but casual vibe - perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. We got to sit outside on the patio - perfect weather, great sunset, and a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and try some of their delicious foods. All of their food is delicious! The Flying Pig flatbread was my favorite - just the right cheese to meat ratio with that perfect crunch to the crust. While their Margherita pizza is also great, it couldn't even hold a candle to the Flying Pig. Love caprese in general, and these skewers were light and full of flavor. The brisket potato skins were also a big winner at our table. Also loved all their wine options. I love a good glass of sparkling wine, and they definitely have a great selection. Next time we return, we definitely want to come and try out their happy hour! Heard they also do live music on the weekends, so really want to check that out as well. Highly recommend you stop on by to enjoy all the wonderful food and ambiance they have to offer!

    Just delish

    First time here! WOW! The waitress was so good. Poor wine like a pro. Attentive to details and very knowledgeable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A little classy, modern spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bucatini
    Maya M.

    I really appreciate their vegan options. Everything we tried was phenomenal. I tried the vegan empanadas, brussel sprouts, bucatini, and peach crisp. Love that they have live music on select days/times as well. Highly recommend!!

    Brussels sprouts
    Niki R.

    Small bites is my absolute favorite way to eat a meal and Onyx has an amazing assortment of delectable small bites that make for a fun happy hour experience. They have full size entrees too. But luckily everyone I was with agreed on the small bites to try many things strategy. Thinly sliced marinated ribeye wrapped asparagus with a Korean bbq sauce - fun playful textures, perfectly cooked steak wrapped around al dente asparagus. My mom literally used her fingers to mop up every last lick of sauce! It was pretty funny. Roasted cauliflower- simple yet elegantly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Brussels sprouts are my weakness and these did not disappoint. Organic Brussels sprouts topped with cashew cilantro lime sauce, cotija cheese, pumpkin seeds & smoked paprika-- mmm this was a party in my mouth. Heartbeet Salad - spring mix, red and gold beets, pomegranate seeds, toasted pinenuts, red onion & goat cheese with a sumac vinaigrette - the combination of goat cheese and sumac vinaigrette was fresh and perky. The different textures and savory/sweet flavors really worked well together. Flatbread - fig jam, mozzarella, bacon, topped with fresh arugula. As the name suggests- the sweet of the fig jam, partnered with the savory of the bacon with the creamy mozzarella made me enjoy this more than I thought I would. The peppery tang of fresh arugula was a welcome foil to the chewy pizza crust- not quite flatbread- more a regular crust pizza - but hey, no complaints at all. For dessert - we tried the maple honey crème brûlée, the sugar was a touch burned but not unpalatable and the custard was spot on. I'm truly excited to have found this place. It's a welcome addition to the Camarillo food scene.

    Wine, ambiance...

    We were a party of 10 with a reservation to arrive at 7:30 (with restaurant closing at 8!). Not a…read moreproblem - our table was waiting for us when we arrived. They were short staffed so we had the manager, Pablo, as our server. He couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Service was outstanding throughout. All of the orders came out together and correct - not a small feat with a party this size and everyone altering the way the food was to be prepared. My wife and I shared the wedge salad to start ($17). Huge portion and loaded with the typical wedge goodies. Delish! I ordered the salmon pasta special for my entree ($45). Also a huge portion loaded with large shrimp, lots of salmon, olives, tomato, and more with a delicious red sauce. Fantastic dish. And way too much to eat at one sitting (reheated pasta dish for dinner tomorrow!). My wife had the chicken Toscana ($35). Grilled chicken on a pasta with marinara and cream sauce. Excellent! Excellent food, service and ambiance. A bit on the pricy side but worth it.

    My husband and I saw the good reviews and decided to give it a try. The ambience was great and we…read morewent about an hour after it opened so it was quiet. The staff was nice and unfortunately that's where the good ends. My husband ordered the Kobe burger, medium rare and ended up with medium well. He said the burger tasted like a frozen patty. I ordered the turkey melt with no onions and it came with extra onions. The one good thing about my plate was the house pear salad. It was really tasty and the poached pears were delicious. The butter cake we had for dessert, came out so fast it was if all they had to do was get it from the freezer and heat it up. It was not good. Suffice to say we will not be going back and we were left wondering why there were so many good reviews.
