Kinda fun to watch people get exciting and cheer for their horse. Chips and Guacamole Guacamole was delicious. It wasn't just mashed avocado; this had tomatoes, onion, and some really nice seasonings in it. Pico de Gallo was fresh, tomato heavy and refreshing. Mix them together and you've got a nice appetizer. The chips seemed like they were fresh fried on site, tasted fresh and were hearty enough to hold up to the guac. Wings The wings were really nice sized and finished over fire leaving a nice char texture and taste. The BBQ sauce seemed bland to me. It needed a little more sweet and a little more spice, I didn't taste much of either. Overall, great chicken but could use a different or more flavorful sauce. Crispy Chicken Tacos The tacos came out looking good, all dressed up in a fresh fried tortilla shell. The chicken itself was kinda dry and didn't taste freshly made. The shell was nice and crispy and tasted really good. Overall, the chicken tacos were not my favorite here.

My wife and I came here on a quiet Sunday evening for dinner. Immediately we noticed that the…read moreinside of the restaurant was nicely decorated and well lit, an appropriate space for a lovely dinner, or so we thought. At the time the dining room was sparsely populated, only a few other tables were seated. We were seated quickly by the hostess and ordered within a few minutes of sitting down; my wife ordered the seafood pasta I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and the tomato burrata salad as an appetizer. After about 20 minutes the waitress returned to let us know that they were out of the pasta, so my wife asked for the risotto instead. The salad arrived quickly, however my wife noted that it was missing grilled peaches that were listed in the menu description, a disappointment. The salad itself was balsamic dressed cherry tomatoes with a single piece of burrata on top. Another 40 minutes later our entrees finally arrived. Much to my dismay my dish lacked any appreciable character; it was as if they had cooked six month old frozen pasta and thrown up a brown sauce with fried sage on top. My wife's risotto was mostly cheese but was also similarly devoid of other flavors. Now to be fair to the folks here, I did mention to the waitstaff that the flavors in the food were off and they did reduce the bill. They were also apologetic about the wait we faced. Nevertheless, restaurants have three things they need to do well in order to be successful: food, service and ambience. Perhaps if they improved the quality of the food and the time to service more people would come. Needless to say, but I won't be returning.

As a Yelp Elite Squad member, I'd been fortunate enough to attend a special event at Selvin's many…read moremonths ago. I'd been wanting to go back and take Dear Hubby to enjoy this very special re-imagining of the previous space, which had been an Irish pub incarnation. When our sister-in-law and two nieces were in town, the five of us were able to spend a quick evening together at Selvin's. We had been working on a project at our house, and by the time we got finished and ready to go out there wasn't a lot of time left as we went on a weeknight and they close at 9:00. I'm surprised that having a full bar, and being attached to a hotel property, that they would hang it up so early - even 9:30 or 10:00 would make more sense. It's such a charming place; seems a shame to have to call it a night so early. The ambiance is absolutely divine, especially out here in suburbia. It's very innovative in its layout. The lighting was carefully planned and is very effective in creating a special mood. And, what can be said about the wall of roses? It's tailor-made for snapping fun photos, that's for sure. The chef is sending out creative and Dee-Licious dishes from the kitchen. Yes, I know how to spell delicious, but it is worth adding the accented flair to stating the fact that this is a cut above many other dining establishments in the Conejo Valley. Dear Hubby and I shared Pappardelle Pasta and a Tuna Tartare appetizer. Both were excellent. One of our nieces ordered the taco platter. Wait till you see the photo. The only thing that was disappointing, menu-wise, was that bread wasn't included, so we ordered some as a side. Two little slices. I've forgotten the price, but I recall that it turned into sticker shock when we saw what was served. I'm tickled that they offer a nice array of zero proof cocktail options. They aren't inexpensive - apparently spirits without alcohol aren't any less (or maybe only slightly less?) than the full-spirited options. Still, it's nice to have the option. Our out of town family members LOVED Selvin's; it was a big hit with all of us. As an added bonus, there was a guitarist playing beautiful acoustic music when we arrived and were seated in the lounge area. Major extra credit!

My son was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, and eating out at restaurants has been a challenge. We went to Fusion Grill today, the first time since his diagnosis, and the owner explained that she could make almost anything on the menu gluten-free. They have gluten-free pastas, breads, buns.... They even have a separate fryer, so we don't have to worry about cross-contamination. Most importantly, the owner really understands that even a tiny bit of gluten is still gluten, and for someone with Celiac, they can get very sick. My kids were so excited to find a "safe" restaurant, and we plan on returning frequently!

The fries are addictive, crispy and perfectly seasoned, their "house" sauce - a sweet and savory aioli is crack. This fusion salad is perfection, every thing is perfectly seasoned, insanely fresh, but what gets me is how clean the flavors are, every ingredient comes through clearly and then complements so well. Service is warm, genuine and owner driven. Space is bright and tasteful but nothing overly fancy. Prices are a little over average, but quality really makes you not blink an eye over it.

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!

First time in for dinner and was pleasantly greeted at the hostess stand, whom let us in early for our reservation.

She took us all throughout the menu, made amazing recommendations, and took our evening and completely escalated our night. From the wine, to the amazing plates, to the delicious desserts, all was absolutely top tier. My favorite by far, was the wild mushroom risotto which was out of this world. If I can't compliment the food enough, Rosie was just amazing. I mentioned to her before we left, "it's as if you took us up on a hot air balloon ride with and ever so gently brought us back down to earth." That's what our evening was like in best terms. Thank you again to the staff and owners at Cork Dork. Most of all, thank you again to Rosie. We will definitely be back for another amazing visit.

One of my favorite restaurants! I could eat here everyday :)…read moreToday was our first time ordering the orange chicken 16.50 (with small side of rice 2.49) . We paired it with our favorite Chinese chicken salad $16.50--requested half baby gem and arugula with crunchies and dressing on the side. Orange chicken came out hot. They had a nice crunch, made with chicken breast, and not too sweet. Nice alternative to Panda Express if you're craving orange chicken! If you haven't tried the Chinese chicken salad, get it! You won't be disappointed! It's the best one I've had. Service is always great. Dom was great; manager Mike recognized us and stopped to chat with us. Ambience is modern and clean. You order at the kiosks, find a seat indoors (AC) or outdoors (heat lamps available), and they bring your food to your table. Water is provided. If you need anything, just ask anyone in a green apron or blue shirt. They will be happy to help!

It's a totally different menu than anywhere else. Unique flavors and textures, a fusion of modern, Mediterranean, Asian and Latin cuisines. Everything we had was delicious.

For dessert we got the wonder bar. It was rich and delicious. Pretty sweet and sticky though. Next time I'd like to try the chocolate bread pudding instead. Service was on point too. Chuck was super nice and on top of everything. The ambiance was like you're at a restaurant on the west side. Adult vibes, which is nice for those who need a getaway from children things.

Still nowhere close to other breakfast burritos in town (La Esquina is 10X better). But no bacon. It was rainy with only one other table so it wasn't as if they were busy.
