First visit here. We chose to sit outside on the patio to enjoy the fresh ocean air. The beach is…read moreabout 500-600 feet from the entrance. We came at the brunch hour so we ordered off their brunch menu. I got the Breakfast sandwich and my friend got a breakfast burger. We opted for just water today. My breakfast sandwich was as you imagined an egg sandwich to be. Cooked egg, 2 slices of bacon with aioli sauce on a toasted brioche bun. I got a side of hash-browns instead of fries. I would have preferred my hash browns to have a bit of a crisper crust but they were bad. My friend substituted sweet potato fries for the regular fries. The service was pretty good. Our waitress did check on us once our food arrived but didn't bother to refill our waters at all during our meal. I loved the low key vibe of the place. At least the patio seating. Just as we were about to leave there was a large party coming in which was a reserved table because we saw "reserved signs on it" and I heard the waitress asked how many dogs were there and the said 3. So I guess it's a pretty dog friendly patio which is a plus for dog owners.

I don't usually review "meh" experiences, but the inconsistency here was too much to ignore. I came…read morein expecting a solid meal, but the execution was underwhelming. The chips and salsa were served refrigerated with the salsa tasting more like unsalted tomato sauce than anything fresh. The sausage was pale and greasy rather than charred, and the omelette was dry and missing toast. On the bright side, the pancakes were actually quite good, though the single strawberry and tiny portions of butter and syrup meant I had to keep flagging down service for more. The biggest letdown was the coffee--watery and lukewarm. Ugh Service was pleasant, but the kitchen needs to step up the quality control to match the atmosphere.

Beer Pressure…read more Classic American Pub located in Ventura that features over one hundred beers on tap and classic American comfort foods in a surprisingly family-friendly environment. The Good: * Beyond all the beers on tap, they also have a full bar. * Service was friendly and pretty good overall. * Secret menu for both food and drink. Shhhh...! * Their wings were fantastic! You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast. There is some street parking available, as well. The Ugly: * They had a lot of beers that were out of commission, including several that I was pretty excited to try. =/ Conclusion: Great spot to get your suds and spuds!

I'm horrible with names, but my bartender was on point! I apologize for not remembering her name. She welcomed right away (not that I needed it, but it makes a good impression). It was chilly, so I wanted a warm drink. The first drink was nice, but didn't quite hit that spot (based on my tastebuds, nothing to say about the quality of the drink. It was good!). I told my bartender I was thinking about something different for my second drink. She was kind and thoughtful in helping me make a selection. I went for a coffee variety drink. AND THAT WAS WHAT I NEEDED! I appreciate the quick service, the thoughtful advice, and the tip shelf delivery in service! I recommend The Bench Warmer!

Located on Ventura Harbor with plenty of parking on site. 1st hour of parking is free when you scan the QR codes posted through out the lot, you will need to pay after the 1st hour. Just a heads up on this. This resteraunt has a great menu with a nice variety. Prices are ok, your on the beach what can you expect. They recently got renovated so the restseraunt is really nice and modern. My service here each time has been good. This last time I grabbed an order of calamari and a beef crunchy taco and they both were INCREDIBLE. The calamari was cooked to perfection and such a large order. The beef taco was incredibley flavorful and probably the best beef tacos I've had in Ventura county. Overall the food here is very tastey so come on down here and give them a try.
