    Stopped by Cheesecake Factory in Oxnard for lunch today. Laura was our fantastic server. We started with drinks and their fresh bread. Laura took our appetizer order of chicken potstickers and they were yummy. My wife had a chicken bowl for her entree and I had the skinnylicious chicken pasta. Good food, service and ambiance.

    We were in town and headed here for lunch on a weekday. We wanted to sit inside and there was a 10 minute wait for a booth, not too bad. Sal was our server and he was great! He checked in on us, noticed and asked if wanted things replenished. We ordered the the Chicken Chipotle Pasta, the Asian Tenderloin Noodle Bowl, and a side of mashed potatoes. The food was delicious. The food portions are big. I probably ate a quarter of my pasta and my wife ate half of her noodle bowl. There are times where I do feel like I'm overpaying for a meal, but I'm aware of that prior to eating here, which is about once a year. We went on National Cheesecake Day, so slices were half off, which was great. We ordered the Celebration Cheesecake and that was good.

    Fresh Banana Cream Cheesecake
    Rochelle M.

    This was a quick visit to pick up dessert -- Key Lime and Fresh Banana Cream cheesecakes. It was busy when we arrived, which is typical of CF locations. The bakery seemed smaller but still had a nice selection. The restaurant was very clean. The team member who helped us was courteous and friendly. Our order was ready at the expected time and accurate. We can always count on the consistency in the taste of their cheesecakes. Presentation however often varies. Our order today was neatly packed and still looked great when we had it at home. Both were delicious!

    Chicken Pot Stickers
    Deena B.

    Tried out the fried Chicken Pot Stickers on the HH menu, under 500 calories so I wouldn't feel so guilty about ordering the cheesecake after! The Chicken Pot Stickers are really tasty! Loads of flavor! This place is always so clean and the staff is so friendly. They do make a point of paying just the right amount of attention to all guests.

    I always love to visit the Cheesecake Factory for the best Long Island Ice Tea. We tried some different appetizers and they were delicious with the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls as our new favorite. The service was great and we also enjoyed the discount in using the Cheesecake Rewards App.

    Avocado eggrolls

    The appetizers were delicious perfect size just for two girls catching up over drinks. The service was great. We had a server that was currently in training and he did such a great job. I love the ambience here you could ever go wrong eating outdoors, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

    Don't sleep on the Cheesecake Factory! With over 250 items on their menu, so many options can feel overwhelming, but once you find your favorite dish, you will return. Today I was able to try the new katsu bowl. The powers that be at The Cheesecake Factory are definitely keeping up with the trends. This was fresh and light except for the rice but what is a bowl without rice?! Everyone is always friendly and today wasn't super busy, but the Christmas crowd was definitely rolling in by the time we left. As always, they offered me the cheesecake menu, but I politely declined as I was stuffed from our lunch!

    The Cheesecake Factory at The Collection is one of many restaurants this side of Oxnard has to offer. Great service & yummy food. Plenty of parking & also a parking garage. Paid Metered parking right in front is also available... You can choose either Indoor or Outdoor seating. If you are a rewards member, you can make online reservations. Love the variety of food options. So many menu items, that it makes it difficult to choose. Not to mention an extensive cheesecake menu. Omg lots of cheesecake. Will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. Pretty chill place. Last few visits, service has been great. Shoutout to Ricardo, Leilani & Danni who we have had the pleasure of having. Keep up the Great Service! :D

    I called on the phone about splitting up a whole cheesecake and was told something else when we got there. I asked to to talk with the manager and Tara came and talked with us for a few minutes. She was super nice and told what the policy was and gave us an alternative that we were very pleased with. Thank you Tara! James & Sophia

    Calamari

    Sat at the bar for some drinks and appetizers. Bartender was awesome. We order some calamari and some stuff mushrooms, so good. Happy hour prices were good.

    Just want to give a s/o to The Cheesecake Factory at The Collection in Oxnard. I highly recommend! 10/10 experience. We celebrated my daughter's 14th birthday there on Saturday along with 10 of her best friends. The entire staff was very attentive and kind - from the hostess, busboy, waiter and manager. They were patient with the girls and really catered to them. The food was delicious! Everything came out in a timely manner & tasted great. We were nice and cozy outside with heaters too. My daughter was overjoyed and they truly made her birthday dinner a sweet success!

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!

I told Dear Hubby that fish & chips at the harbor seemed like a great idea, and he agreed. Initially, I tried to get us a table upstairs at Brophy Brothers, overlooking the water. That was going to be about an hour's wait, so we retreated downstairs to Brophy's fast casual option - On The Alley. Essentially, it's the same fish & chips recipe, so all good there. The line was short and moved pretty quickly. While DH finished up ordering, I went out to the indoor-outdoor room to scout a table. I wasn't able to get one against the window, but we were still able to have a water view, just a bit further away. DH was hungry, so he ordered a burger, as well as the fish & chips. He shared a small portion of said burger, and it was really good. At a Brophy's establishment, I think of seafood, but thumbs up on that burger! The portion of fries they provided were extra generous. We missed having Adored Granddaughter with us, as she would have help demolish those fries! We brought some home to revive in the air fryer. I only had water, as they don't really have any beverage options that work with my restrictive dietary preferences. (i.e., no caffeine, and low- or no-sugar). The fish & chips hit the spot, although the fish was somewhat oilier than usual. DH got a cup of their delicious clam chowder, which was served with their delicious sourdough bread. That I got to have some of, and happier for it. Sunday afternoon at the harbor made for a great spot to people-watch. There were lots of folks who seemed like they had come from points east to get a break from the heat, just like us. We all tend to have a look that doesn't portray "Ventura local". Lots of young families, which was nice to see. Made us miss our granddaughter, for sure.

Things that I've ordered: - Beignets: these are freshly fried, light, crispy, and delicious. I love them with coffee - Homemade sausage patty breakfast: the homemade sausage tastes fresh and has the perfect amount of spice and seasoning. While they're known for their potatoes o'Brien, I really enjoy their crispy hashbrowns. The biscuit option is substantial and fluffy - Waffle: the Belgian waffle comes out crispy and delicious.

    We ordered a Two Trees Burger through DoorDash. DoorDash describes it as a **two-patty burger on a…read morebun with cheddar cheese, pickle, onion, lettuce, tomato, and sauce.** We selected to hold the toppings except for the cheddar and pickles. What we received was a **single patty with shredded white cheese and guacamole on sourdough bread.** Not even remotely what we ordered. My husband took it back and was told, "No, this IS the Two Trees Burger." He explained that it was not what we ordered. The server took it back to the cook, who apparently just took the same burger and threw it onto a bun. My husband had to go back in **a THIRD time** and explain again that the order was supposed to be a DOUBLE patty burger on a bun with cheddar and pickles only. The burger went back to the cook again, who scraped off the guacamole, threw some pickles on the bottom, and then tossed the order onto the counter, clearly irritated. At that point, my husband gave up and just took it. I called the restaurant and asked for a manager. I spoke with Junior, who said he was a manager. Before explaining what DoorDash showed, I asked him, "What comes on your Two Trees Burger?" Interestingly, **he described the burger we had initially received**--the single-patty burger with the completely different ingredients. When I explained what DoorDash lists as the Two Trees Burger, his response was, **"We have no control over what DoorDash puts on their site."** That response was probably the most frustrating part of this entire experience. This restaurant has a direct link to DoorDash from its own website (and yelp!) and is accepting and fulfilling orders placed through DoorDash. If your third-party menu is advertising a completely different product under the same name, that is something the restaurant should be concerned about and work to correct--not simply tell a customer it isn't your responsibility. I also explained that the cook seemed irritated when my husband repeatedly tried to get the order corrected. Junior immediately told me that wasn't true and said he was right there when it happened. So instead of listening to a customer who had already received the wrong order and had to make THREE attempts to have it corrected, the response was simply to deny our experience. I even checked the restaurant's own website afterward. The version of the Two Trees Burger that Junior described--and confirmed they serve--isn't even listed on their website. Yet apparently it is different from the Two Trees Burger they are selling through DoorDash under the exact same name. The original mistake could have been resolved easily. What made this a one-star experience was everything that happened afterward: the wrong order, the first "correction" still being wrong, the second "correction" consisting of scraping ingredients off the same burger, the cook's attitude, and finally a manager who took absolutely no responsibility for any part of the experience. We cannot possibly be the first customers to order this burger through DoorDash and receive something completely different from what is advertised. Completely disappointed and dissatisfied. We will not be back. **Buyer beware, especially if ordering this restaurant through DoorDash. Apparently they're happy to accept the orders, but when their DoorDash menu doesn't match what they're actually serving, suddenly it's "DoorDash's" responsibility.** No wonder this place has gone so downhill. FOLLOWING IS MY RESPONSE to the owners reply... I/we never said there was "arguing" or a "REFUSAL to correct." My images clearly show an INACCURATE description. While I can appreciate a business owners attempt to review and resolve a less than stellar review, STILL the actual issue is not resolved and we are being questioned now about whether or not WE even ordered the correct item? No it was never the Smashburger. The gaslighting from the phone call with Junior to the owner/manager response here is, palpable. Pun intended. That's wonderful you're doing so great. I'm happy to have given this platform via my review for you to brag about your business. Cheers indeed. I will continue to brag about the poor encounter myself. Imagine just actually listening and taking the time to read and view the attachments provided.

And we ordered the chefs charcuterie board. The charcuterie board was delicious! The bread was warm and obviously homemade. All the different cheeses tasted fresh and there were also candied walnuts which were fantastic. I was really impressed by their wine dispensers and how many varieties they had of different selections. I think overall we tried 4-6 different wines for less than $40. The ambiance of the inside reminds me a little bit of Squidwards house (but in a good way) with a high arched ceiling and classical decor. I would love to come back and try their other food and sample more wine.

I'm really glad he did because it's the kind of place I probably wouldn't have found on my own. The first thing that caught our attention was the self-serve wine dispensers lined with bottles ready to sample. We had a lot of fun walking back and forth, looking over the different selections, and deciding what to taste next. Being able to sample wines by the ounce before committing to a full glass made the whole experience feel interactive. I especially liked that I could compare different Cabernet Sauvignons side by side, which isn't something you get to do very often. After trying a few different Cabernets, Chimney Rock ended up being my favorite. The dining room added to the experience. The cave-like ceilings, warm lighting, and comfortably spaced tables made it easy to settle in, enjoy our lunch, and catch up without feeling cramped or rushed. If you enjoy trying different wines, it's easy to lose track of time here. We started with a cheese plate, which turned out to be much more generous than I expected. It came with a nice assortment of cheeses, crisp apple slices, grapes, candied walnuts, crostini, and a savory relish on the side. It was a great dish to share with our wine. My friend ordered the tuna poke tower, and we shared the cheese flatbread and sweet potato fries. I went with the Original Cave Salad with salmon, which came with a generous piece of perfectly cooked salmon over fresh greens, apples, grapes, walnuts, and blue cheese. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous enough that we left completely satisfied. One thing I appreciated was that we never felt rushed. Lunch naturally turned into an afternoon of catching up, comparing notes on the different wines, and deciding which pours we wanted to try next. Before we left, we wandered through the wine shop one more time. If you discover a favorite during lunch, you can pick up a bottle before heading home, which is a nice touch. I'm really glad my friend found this place. The next time I'm in Ventura, it'll definitely be on my list again.

I couldn't decide between pizza or something more substantial. Went with the Meat Lovers Pizza and had no regrets: a particularly soft crust and real depth of flavor. The meatball appetizer was upper echelon. I'll come back just for that. Our server, Jazzy, made excellent recommendations and took great care of us. The wine was good and fairly priced, the outside seating was comfortable, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Mondays are happy hour all day, so the value was hard to beat. Time well spent. Highly recommend the restaurant.

One great meal can happen anywhere, but when you come back four times and consistently have excellent food, great service and an enjoyable experience, that says something about how a restaurant is being run. The food tonight was fantastic again. Everything was beautifully prepared, flavorful and served with great presentation. The steak was cooked perfectly, the pasta was excellent, and the drinks were great as well. I also want to recognize Anna, the manager, who does a spectacular job. She is attentive, welcoming and clearly cares about the experience her guests have. You can see her influence in how smoothly the restaurant operates. And a special shout-out to Samantha, our server, who took excellent care of us. She was friendly, attentive and personable, and helped make an already great dinner even more enjoyable. Great service really makes a difference, and Samantha delivered. Jose Luis has created something special here, and Anna, Samantha and the rest of the staff are doing a wonderful job carrying that through. After four visits, Portola isn't just a restaurant we tried and liked--it's become one of our favorite places in Oxnard, and we'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended!
