We will be back again with family. read more

We came here with fairly low expectations after reading some of the negative reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was outstanding and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. I had the Greek salad with jumbo shrimp, and it was absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Would I come back? Absolutely. Don't let the negative reviews discourage you--they don't do this place justice. The quality of the food is excellent, and while the prices may be higher than some other places, they're reflective of the quality you're getting. Definitely worth a visit. They also have a Sunday Brunch for 29.95 looks great! read more

I'm going to start off by saying these people giving one star reviews to a new restaurant need to give them time and grace. We came in today (a Thursday around 5) we decided to sit at the bar and had a fantastic time. Our bartender gave great service and she was very friendly. Actually everyone we encountered was friendly. The restaurant is beautiful. I loved seeing the beautiful paintings on the walls. Now to the food! The meat dolmas with lemon sauce were delicious. I would get those over the regular rice ones. House Greek salad and dressing A+ The lamb, hummus, and tzatziki sauce on the gyro plate were great. I'd skip the fries next time and ask for rice. The chicken gyro plate was dry (great flavor but we wouldn't order that again) The margaritas were tasty and they offer non alcoholic wine! Yay for me! They also have happy hour pricing at the bar. We were so full so we skipped on dessert They all looked amazing! The prices are high but you get a ton of food. Overall great first experience! read more

This former Souplantation has been transformed into a Greek destination with large-scale murals, white tablecloths and a showcase bar. The cavernous space is perfect for large gatherings. Our server was pleasant and very attentive. My Greek salad was huge and beautiful. The gyro meat was hot but not overdone. Tzatziki was one of the best I've ever had. My friend's falafel plate was equally beautiful with fries, pita, tahini, hummus and tzatziki, served with her own Greek salad. She commented that the falafel were a bit dry. Again, the serving portion was generous. I was impressed during my lunch visit and intend to return for dinner. read more

Stopped in for lunch and the salad was good but the chicken was kind of bland. The food is definitely not worth what they charge. Also the service is extremely slow and the restaurant's layout for some reason feels way too big. It's a big, awkward set up. I will not be returning. read more

Don't listen to these bad reviews, just try it for yourself. We went on a Tuesday night and the place was empty. We got extraordinary service from Shawn. The wine pours were huge and delicious. And the food was very good. I got the gyro $21, it and the fries & salad it came with were great. See for yourself! read more

Bonnie and went to Stephen's Grill in Camarillo yesterday around 4:30 in the afternoon and Sat at the bar. The restaurant has lots of full and half booths and there are live plants and flowers, and the walls are decorated with murals of Mediterranean landscapes. Our bartender Jenny was fantastic and made our drinks to perfection. I really liked their glasses, Bonnie had a pomegranate martini, and I had my standard dirty martini. Now for the food. we are familiar with the location in Ventura, and the Camarillo location has what they serve and more. The Camarillo location has more emphasis on the Grill section of their menu. We ordered the Dolmades with meat; the picture we uploaded of them was after we had eaten half of it. The reason I mention that is because it had plenty of Pita bread and Tzatziki sauce served with the Dolmades and there were 6 of them. They were perfect, we loved the lemon dill sauce. We also ordered the Lucas Special which comes with Chicken Souvlaki, Gyro meat and your choice of side and a Greek salad or soup. The Chicken was cooked perfectly and so was the Gyro meat. I like the Chef Kazo sauce that was served with the souvlaki. The traditional souvlaki is olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, Greek oregano and lemon. I think he just added smoked paprika to that and maybe a little red wine vinegar. You don't normally see a red souvlaki. We also ordered the Moussaka, which is kind of a Greek lasagna with eggplant substituted for pasta. It was very good and authentic; they nailed the bechamel sauce (white) and the Kima me domata sauce (red) was very flavorful. The portions were huge and we took enough home for another meal. We are so happy they finally opened and we plan on spending lots of time with Jenny at the bar. read more

Service was excellent. We had the Metaxa Old Fashioned and the Aegean Spritz. Both were well served and delicious. We ordered the Rib Eye with mushrooms and onions and Greek rice. Very tasty! Price on par with quality of food. We'll be coming back. read more

So happy to have this Geek/ Mediterranean restaurant in town. Fresh and delicious! Can't wait to return and try more dishes. So far the moussaka, lamb chops chicken Parmesan and soup and salads were fantastic. Did not explore but full bar with big variety and drink options Great happy hour spot to try. read more

For a newly opened restaurant in Camarillo, this place was operating pretty smooth on Mother's Day. They did not have my reservation for 6 even though I made it via phone a week beforehand. But we were quickly taken care of and the manager put a table together for us. For Sunday, brunch buffet is the only option. I liked the selection of food because it allowed us to sample many brunch items for $30, but the $30 price tag is steep if you have children that don't eat much (no children price) and drinks were not included (except for water and coffee). The ambiance is higher end restaurant with wine glasses on every table, but it stilled felt like the old Souplantation inside due to a lot of noise in an open dining room concept. The buffet area was also very small and cramped, despite its many offerings. We probably won't return to Sunday Brunch since our daughters won't enjoy it much and plan to visit again for lunch or dinner to experience their normal menu. read more

I wanted to love this place! I am very familiar with Greek food! My husband and I ordered Calamari and Spanakopita to start - both were excellent! For mains we ordered the bacon- wrapped shrimp (stuffed with feta and jalapeño's) and a special sauce. Very sad to say the four very small wrapped shrimp looked and tasted as if they were straight from a freezer section at any supermarket and were dry as a bone, with not even a hint of feta or jalapeños in them. The special sauce which accompanied the shrimp was exactly like Trader Joe's Sweet chili sauce! I am sorry, but I am just being honest. My husband had Branzino with roasted potatoes. We have had this dish many times before in other establishments, to say this was sub-par is an understatement! Both the fish and the potatoes were dry and tasteless. The staff are wonderful.....this beautiful new restaurant will not survive if they don't kick their food up a notch. We will go back for another try, because we want them to succeed and we need variety in Camarillo! read more

We arrived last night at 9:15 pm thinking that they closed at 11:00 pm, they ignored us at the entrance, we thought we should go inside, the waitress Christie, then stopped us, and with a cold attitude told us that we should order immediately because the kitchen closed in 10 minutes. We asked about the schedule, but he said that we could only sit at the bar, that the dining area was already closed. The truth is, it was very annoying, we were celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary and we wanted a special dinner, we understand the weather, but I think that in 45 minutes we would have had a good time to enjoy dinner at a normal table. Very unpleasant experience, We had previously been having dinner and the waiter (I don't remember his name) was very warm and attentive. read more

Stephens Grill - Greek Near Me - Camarillo, California

The server was kind and the decor is pleasant. I have loved Stephen's in Ventura for years and was excited to try the one in Camarillo. This location was a different experience. The food took a very long to get to table, dishes were brought out at different times, so some were eating while others waited for their meals, and honestly the food itself wasn't very flavorful. $17 for a bowl of hummus with 4 small pita triangles? And the extra pita is another $8! And what's with the gigantic chicken chunks on the Greek salad? Also, spaghetti with gigantic chicken chunks on the kids menu? And you ask for no chicken because, come on she's 8 years old and doesn't want chicken on her spaghetti and the price is the same no matter what? Will not be returning. read more

Went to lunch the other day, order a $22 cheese hamburger, it was pitiful. It was not hot enough to melt the cheese, the patty was size of McD burger. The taste was nothing, no seasoning. Hope they get better read more

Went for lunch. Prices were very high did not offer a separate lunch menu Or smaller plates Had soup and salad. Bland and blah. Our waitress was nice. Ambiance. Huge space Lots of empty tables I wont be back read more

We stopped by this new Greek restaurant on their opening day. The food did take a little longer than expected, but that's understandable for day one while they're getting into the flow. The food was really good, and flavorful, and definitely worth the wait. I'm so glad we finally have a great Greek spot nearby and don't have to drive all the way to Ventura anymore. The restaurant is beautiful and has a really welcoming feel. I've seen some negative reviews, but I'd encourage people to give them a chance and a little time. It's a family-owned business with local owners, and I'm looking forward to coming back and continuing to enjoy their food. read more

What an amazing family owned place! We met my parents in law with our newborn for dinner there and people were so kind and welcoming. The food was so fresh and healthy, I got Gyro plate and my husband got fancy plant dish, and both of the dishes were fresh ( portions were large) We can't wait go back there and bring more people to this place! read more

Stopped by Stephen's with my family on a Saturday night. Despite the restaurant seeming to be slow it took 20 to 30 minutes it receive fountain drinks and even more considerable amount of time to receive our food and when it did arrive the shrimp on one of the plates was still raw. The service itself is just fine but unfortunately it seems like our server was scrambling while what appeared to be the owners just continued to stroll around and talk to tables. Definitely think the staff could use some more help. Owners definitely need to change something at this spot, I was excited to hear about a Greek spot opening up in the neighborhood but this didn't hit the mark. (P.S. the Greek meatballs are bland and cost 38 bucks, not worth). read more

Stephens Grill - Keftedes - Greek Near Me - Camarillo, California

I've been anticipating to try this new restaurant for a while. I was very excited to finally have had the opportunity today to go however; upon entering the restaurant I was immediately stopped by a employee named Nick . He was informing me that my service animal would not be permitted into the restaurant. This employee was extremely rude and hostile. I showed him my service animal card that I carry with me and he then stated " that isn't enough" He demanded I show him my medical documentation and any other document that would qualify me to have a service animal which is already against the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). I verbally told Nick I was going to report him and this business and will make sure to let anyone who has a disability with a service animal aware of this restaurant and it's discriminatory behavior towards people with disabilities who have service animals. This employee Nick stated" Go ahead I don't care". I have been to high class restaurants, Taco Bell ect and never have I been discriminated against by anyone or anyplace until now. I definitely do NOT recommend this place. I would like to give an update since it took the business owner Greg 21 days to reply. After reading your response I would have been more than willing to sit down with you in regards to this serious matter that took place. However; after reviewing your profile picture I have come to the realization that you Greg "the business owner " was the one who discriminated against me and my service animal. I have no understanding as to why you have carried on this facade of " Nick" instead of just being an honest, decent person. You decided to lie and deceive not only me, but other people who are and will read this post. You discriminated not only against me and my service animal, you discriminated against my disability. That will not be tolerated. I have no desire to sit down and speak with someone who has no empathy nor compassion for people with disabilities and their service animals. I am a very understanding and tolerable individual, however; this I have no understanding or tolerance for. read more

Stephens Grill - The Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Camarillo, California

Tried this relatively new restaurant which same in place of SoupPlantation. The interiors are identical to what was SoupPlantation except for the wall decor. Very large place. The Gyro's are fabulous, rest of the food not so good. Tried the Stephens special and it was quite sad. Quite expensive for the quality and the service is definitely lacking. Probably the first and last time here. read more

Love going to Steven's grill the foods amazing, deserts are tasty and the drinks are delicious. The manager John such a great guy! Very personable, Makes you feel like your part of the family. Sean one of the waiter / server always has a big smile on his face and friendly. Jenny the bartender we really enjoy going to the bar when she's there we always enjoy her great personality and conversations. read more

The best fresh Greek food in Ventura 5 star votes from the must try Voted Best Gyro west of Los Angeles!

My wife and I finally made it over to the new restaurant and I must say that we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. We are long time customers of the Ventura restaurant and I can honestly say that the new location is as good or better. Great quality and the staff and service is top notch. Very attentive to your needs and very respectful. The ambiance is amazing too, a very nice touch of elegance. I will still frequent the Ventura location but will be visiting this restaurant often as well. read more

I went to Stephens Grill for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was good. My suggestion is that they create a lunch menu with more than just gyros and other sandwiches and salads. I ordered the moussaka which was a large portion served over quartered potatoes. I think that they could have left off the potatoes as the moussaka was enough on its own. A small Greek salad was served with the meal. I found it interesting that pita bread was extra, which when I have dined at other Greek restaurants the pita bread came with the meal. As it turned out I spent $40 including tip and an iced tea for lunch. read more

Was really looking forward to this opening as we could use some good Greek cuisine in Camarillo but based on the prices they are charging I won't be eating here very often. Just too expensive. read more

Food was extraordinarily ordinary! At $30 - $45 for its main dishes, it could use a whole lot more pizzazz other than a salad and a side like rice or fries etc. Portion was decent. Ambiance was still very much like Souplantation! Soft drink was from a fountain rather than a bottle or can. Service was okay, not great. The second star was for the server who was pleasant. Terrible disappointment. I will recommend to stay away. read more

Great food! Hd the grilled pork chop, excellent marinade, juicy & nicely charred on the grill. The roasted potatoes were a great counterpoint to the chop, soaking up the juices fr the chop. Started w/spanokopita as an appetizer, like it was made by grandmother's, flakey, well seasoned & served w/tzatziki. Looking forward to go back & try the grilled half chicken. read more

I tried Stephen's grill after enjoying their Ventura location for years. Same great gyro combo with salad and opted for roasted potatoes instead of fries. It was just as enjoyable. My family enjoyed their food as well. The server seemed a little green but that's to be expected at any new restaurant. We'll definitely be back. read more

Amazing experience! The service was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived thanks to Domonique. The food was fresh, and cooked perfectly. Everything came out quickly, and you can tell they take pride in both their customer service and their food. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place! read more

We went for dinner and the food was delicious and portions were great, so nice to have a healthy meal with plenty to take home for leftovers. The cocktails were great too! The place is beautiful. Definitely will be returning! read more

I've always heard that you should NEVER go to a restaurant that just opened, but when this is Stephens second location, and I enjoy Greek food, so I stopped in on my way from home from work and ordered 2 gyros to take home for dinner. The interior of the place is gorgeous, but I did wonder why there were pictures on the wall of an Italian restaurant? The drive home was less than 5 minutes, and I was shocked at the horrible quality of the food! For $22 - the fries were SOGGY and cold, the Gyro was wrapped in tin foil, looked like a small burrito - the lamb slices, what there were of them... maybe 3 or 4 were COLD and lacked any kind of seasoning. The pita smelled of preservatives so I knew it wasn't freshly made and also very small and soggy. Maybe in time the quality will improve, but for my money there are much better choices in Camarillo including the one inside the Village Mark located on Las Posas. read more

Stephens Grill - Soggy fries, few slices of lamb in the gyro - Greek Near Me - Camarillo, California

A very unpleasant oncer! The food was extremely overpriced and disgusting. I had the Greek salad for close to $30. Tomatoes and lettuce tasteless with a few Greek olives and a small amount of Feta cheese. My friend gave me a few falafels to try that were hard as rocks. Service, horrendous. The "server" showed up twice for a few minutes. Took forever to get the bill and I wasn't going to risk waiting for her to acknowledge or process a credit card. Had enough cash to escape. Never again read more

We went for brunch today and it was a little chaotic because it was the very first day they opened, but the food was fantastic. Lots of variety. All of the staff was wonderful but Domonique was exceptional! The restaurant is beautiful inside. You feel like you just exited Camarillo and landed in Mykonos. Very well done. Definitely becoming a regular. read more

We have loved Stephen's in Ventura for years. So excited to have them in Camarillo! Well. Not. Higher prices, smaller portions: $17 for a (small!) child's plate of macaroni and cheese. No side veggies, no fries or chips, no drink. Outrageous! $27 for a Chicken Gyro Plate. Smaller than an appetizer plate, but twice the price! The Avgolemeno soup was delicious, as expected, but even those serving sizes were reduced, compared to the Ventura location. Sorry, Stephen. I don't wish to continue this relationship. read more

Good food. Somewhat expensive, like everywhere else today. Portions were excellent and food was fresh. Spanakopita where huge. Going back soon. read more

My husband and I have been to Stephen's Grill twice since they opened. Service was great both times. Servers were efficient, informative and friendly. Both times we order Gyero's which were delicious as were their fries. We enjoyed their Greek and Caesar salads. Looking forward to going back! read more

The bartenders Christie and Jenny were great! The drinks were awesome! Service and food were excellent! Definitely will be back!

Great service, well staffed and very fresh and plentiful food. Salads were crisp and cold and portion size of the entrees very generous. My only suggestion would be to add signage to the exterior back wall of this restaurant - this is the approach/entry to Home Depot and I must have driven up that section of road a hundred times and never realized this restaurant even existed until I ended up going the long way around out of Target and stumbled across it! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Honestly, this place is terrible They have shady business going on they laid off everyone, it's slow and they are cheap the food is dry and bland would not recommend, and the owner is cheap as hell and grouchy read more
