Food and drinks weren't terrible, but were overpriced relative to quality. Convenience in Dos Vientos is the only real plus. read more

I must say that they have figured out happy hour. Great selection of quick to make treats and a pretty good price. I still think s craft cocktail menu would be highly beneficial but that's just icing on the cake. Solid local place. read more

The Local Table - Here for happy hour! - Italian Near Me - Newbury Park, California

Some of the long time staff at this location are making a great go of it as the new proprietors of the refreshed "Local Table". The staff are very friendly and helpful (occasionally they get a bit behind when there is a surge of business). The menu has most of the best options from the Local Table days and several very good new options. Awesome happy hour and drinks. Two TVs for sports in the bar. Excellent outdoor seating when the weather is nice. It is my family's favorite local spot! read more

This restaurant is AMAZING! Our experience on a Wednesday evening was absolutely 100%. The servers all help each other cover tables and even the manager and bar tender come out to serve food, clear tables and fill water. The food is OUTSTANDING! You feel like you're in a French street restaurant or an autentico Italiano trattoria. I had the "Cobb" salad (which was SOOOOOO far beyond any Cobb you've had) and my GF had the ravioli that tasted like I was sitting next to a fireplace in Serengi eating Italy's finest. The calamari is literally the best I've had in California! So light, dainty with a perfect Nuveau Cali taste. The drinks! Holy crap! The drinks are classics with heavy emphasis on the heavy pours! My new favorite in NP!! Thank you guys! read more

This is a good local spot that could be GREAT with local support and some front of the house fixes. The location is exceptional but isolated in the Dos Vientos community. The food is very good, if not creative, it is simple and delicious. The Beet salad was fresh and tasty, followed by Branzino in lemon caper sauce. The Fish was nicely cooked. The lamb bolognese special needed some time for the flavors to really come together. Dessert is disappointing. They offer 4-5 different forms of preordered Ice cream balls, with various fillings. Very redundant. They could benefit from an olive oil cake or a clafoutis or something along that line since everything has chocolate. One server was not adequate to cover the restaurant. He was very polite but, juggling so many tables made it tough to be completely attentive. We hold high hopes for the future of this restaurant. A few tweaks Could make it really wonderful. read more

I don't give 1 star lightly. The restaurant was not even half full and it took several minutes and 3 separate people to ask us how many were in our party (2) and then we were finally sat. The food menu is a little sparse and the drink menu even slimmer. We ordered a margarita and a Paloma. The Margarita came far too sweet and with table salt around the rim, and the the waiter (who made the drink) didn't know what a paloma was. Both were horrible and we didn't finish them. We got spaghetti and meatball and chicken Paillard. The Paillard was simple but done correctly. The Spaghetti and meatballs looked and tasted like a frozen dinner. The sauce was more like a vodka sauce and I believe it only came with 4 little meatballs for $20. Long story short, the only good thing about the entire experience was the bread. First and last time I will ever go there. read more

I want to like this place as it is my local BUT service is mediocre, food is the same and the kicker is the $20 corkage fee. It's a piss take and enough for me to say nah! read more

Great food. And great service. The food here is always good and the drinks are even better. read more

First time at Local Table. Drove about 25 minutes to meet a friend and it was worth it. Drinks were good; salmon was excellent and chocolate soufflé dessert was great. Carlos, our server, was friendly and accommodating. I look forward to returning in the future read more

We have been going to the Local Table for several years. I have enjoyed their food, drinks and staff especially Michael who happens to be the owners son. The service is fast, food excellent, and Michael makes a great Old Fashioned second to none. A great item on the menu is the squid ink pasta with scallops and shrimp...delicious . Try it, you won't be disappointed. Overall a great dining experience. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious and tasty! We live in the neighborhood and we are fortunate to have this restaurant in walking distance. The brisket and gnocchi is a favorite and so is the Cobb salad. I've also ordered the mini pizza for my daughter and it's always a hit. The service is highly attentive--water is poured continuously throughout the dining experience. High chairs are plentiful as well. Outdoor seating is ample and the views are beautiful. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE - and the people that work there - even more! There are typically 6-8 of us every time we go and the food and service are exceptional! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK LT!! See you soon! read more

I have been here in the past and enjoyed the pizza and beer at the bar. I tried to visit a couple of months ago and as my party/me grabbed the door handled and walked in, a man came up to us and said "we're closed" Which prompted us to point at the hours and bring up how their hours say they're still open for one mor hour.. but then man said "we are going to close now since nobody has been in here for a couple of hours," lame! read more

While this restaurant is far off the freeway and in a residential area, it's a lovely restaurant that is to accommodate both small and large groups. The food tastes great and the desserts are unique and special. I particularly liked the Spumoni BonBon! read more

Painfully mediocre. Met some friends who live nearby for Happy Hour, I get that the place is convenient if you love nearby, but I couldn't imagine coming back. Started off with a flat beer. Ordered a different one and it had the same issue. Ordered a couple appetizers and both were incredibly bland. read more

A waste of space! Went in to get some work done at the bar. Ordered a bloody mary. No bloody mix and no food available at that time. What's the point??? I don't know why i even bothered. Anytime i have been there, the food and service was horrible. Sure would be nice to have a decent restaurant in DV. read more

Was here a few weeks ago and was surprised how great the service and food were. It's been years since I came back and they really did a great job with the quality of the food along with service. It is unfortunate how far it is for some people, fortunately living around the area helps but I think it's worth the drive for how good the food is. Definitely coming back soon. read more

We arrived for the Happy Hour on a Wednesday. Our server Rolando G. was very attentive and helpful. We had appetizers and drinks. The drinks were very good. The meatballs were more like small meatloaf balls, short rib sliders were ok but tiny and the shrimp, which was very tasty. The appetizers were overpriced for what you received. It is in a residential shopping center so it is convenient for the residents. read more

I cant say that I loved this place . But it is nice for 1 time visit. Moreover, the dishes are not cheap here.

The Local Table hosted our rehearsal dinner for 30 people. It exceeded our expectations. They were more than willing to accommodate our needs, the food and service were perfect and we highly recommend this restaurant! 10/10 read more

Great food- Service was extremely slow and lacking. Beet salad was VERY good. The gnocchi with brisket gravy was incredible. So good that it made up for the extremely poor service read more

Excellent food and great service. Another great meal at The Local Table. We are so fortunate to have such a good restaurant in our neighborhood read more

Birthday dinner here was delicious!! So many good options on menu made it hard to decide. Mac and cheese with the truffle sauce was delicious, the chicken piccata, also! Pear salad and fresh bread was sooo good! read more

Great food and service! We love eating here often and enjoy the menu variety! It's a great place for a date night or night out with friends.

Very disappointed. Not the food quality but the way they clean neighbor tables. Loads of cleaners got spayed to the air towards us and a table next to us. The food was disgusting after that. Both tables are coughing and felt strong discomfort in throat afterwards Changing it to one star because after complaining to the manager, all we got was sorry, will check who ordered the cleaner. Excuse me? Who ordered the cleanser is the problem? Can't believe it. Used to like this place. read more

The food is pretty good and I used to enjoy dining here, however the lack of respect for the their immediate neighbors is beyond reason. I can understand wanting to have live music for your guests to enjoy, but keyboards, drums and sometimes even a horn section blaring every single Saturday evening is just inconsiderate. I know at least one neighbor has spoken to the owner about it, but his seemingly lack of concern regarding the impact it's having on nearby homes is, like the music, deafening. We not only can't enjoy time in our yards, we have to keep our windows closed. It's like being forced to endure a bad wedding reception over and over and over. I know we will never go back there. read more

Come one, come all, local table is back and it is drawing our attention, the band is back together with Julio and gang, Rolando the man large and in charge. Come, check it out. We have our local go to spot back. read more

The Local Table has reopened in place of the Gema Restaurant. It is owned by former employees and has a similar menu and some of the former waiters. It is good as before. My wife and I went there tonight and it was pretty well patronized. I had the short ribs and my wife had the seafood risotto and we shared at calamari appetizer. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is a great addition to DV and offers a decent affair of cuisine. Solid wine list.

Great food and service. We can in just before close and they still provided great service without hesitation. And honestly the food was amazing. read more

Up Front: party of six - all agreed the food was pretty good and would go back except for: 1. Service. We had reservations and were quickly seated, but then waited 30+ minutes and -we- went to the front desk to get menus... and ask for service... and the tab. This is the fault of: 2. Mgmt - I'm not sure any was present, but they had a going away party and didn't staff up? The staff that was there were overwhelmed. Not the staff's fault. 3. Acoustics - you should not go here for a quiet meal. Apart from the band on the patio, the acoustics inside make it impossible to not have to yell at everyone else at the table. Summary - the kitchen rocks; but even though we enjoyed the food, I will not go back. read more

Poor customer service. Recommend visiting at a less hectic time, if at all. The only positive is the Happy hour menu. read more

5 = food 5 = service We've been here several times since we can actually walk to this restaurant. It is nice to have an outdoor restaurant which has a pleasant setting. We've ordered their braised short rib brisket, pepperoni Pizza, and pasta. The short rib brisket is always tender. Pizza is pretty good with the thin crust. Most of their pastas are very delicious as well. Service is great and we have come back several times so that speaks loudly of their food and service. read more

I ordered a pasta dish with mushrooms, garlic and onions to go. I specifically stated to use very little oil. What I got was bread and pasta literally drenched in oil. When I called back to speak with the person who took my order, he asked how he could fix it. I responded to remake both items and use VERY LITTLE oil. Then I asked if he could bring it next door and he refused. (I was in a hair salon next door). Then I said, OK - I will come and get it with color on my hair. Then he said..."don't bother, I'll refund your order". What a jerk! I paid $18 for a pasta and now he's mad because he inconvenienced me. So I say to the man who doesn't understand customer service and needs to learn how to be polite - you earned this terrible Yelp review. Meanwhile, I'm hungry and this guy is a jerk! read more

Great spot, nice atmosphere, lower than expected prices. Service was also good. Kinda out of the way.

I have lived here many years and have never come to this restaurant. I'm really glad I did! It's a lovely restaurant and the staff is very friendly. I sat in the bar and the bartender was very cool and made a couple of their specialty drinks, which were great. They have a great menu with reasonable prices and the food was really good! Had BBQ shrimp, filet mignon and calamari. They were proportioned well and flavorful. I will definitely be back regularly for dinner, and I will also be trying their happy hour menu as it looked really good. Also have a good kids menu! read more

OMG this place is delicious!!! Our first time here!! My daughter picked this place for her 13th birthday celebration off the Yelp reviews. Wow!! We will be coming back again for sure! Julio our waiter and the rest of the staff were amazing.. the Mac and cheese was the best, the salmon, steak, scallops, and drinks were absolutely amazing!! read more

Food is delicious, but the service is painfully slow. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since it gives you a chance to talk and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely a nice local spot to enjoy a great meal. read more

They make you feel like a local at The Local Table! Stopped here on our way home from a business trip in LA. Never heard of it but have it a try. Couldn't have found a more friendly place! What made it extra perfect?? Our server, Michael, the most amazing, polite, friendly young man. And for double thumbs up, his twin brother David works there also. We were promptly greeted, seated and treated like...yep a local. Michael explained the menu and told us the specials which we both jumped on the special fresh fish of the night, Grilled Sea Bass with the most amazing lemon caper sauce. Our meal was served with very buttery garlic bread, vegetables and mashed potatoes. All cooked to perfection. We will make the drive from Ventura again just to say hi to Michael & David. And of course to eat the yummy foods! 5/7/16 We came back just 5 weeks later and Michael waited on us again. And guess what...he remembered our names and something about us. So point is we were treated like FRIENDS and LOCALS at The LOCAL Table!! Tonight we had the Chicken piccata and the Scottish salmon. I also had the beet & arugula salad. Hubby had a beer, the All Day IPA. Seriously everything was perfection. But the best is MICHAEL. My advice to management is to give that boy a HUGE raise to keep him around for a very long time!! read more
