    Cute location, clean, and very cozy. Loved the water views. The service was great. Our server Sarah was really friendly and on top of everything. The food was good. We got some items from happy hour: Mimosa, Poke Nachos, and Tacos. We also ordered the seafood linguine. I will be back to try more items from the menu

    Found a new place for crepes! Great service, fresh squeezed OJ, the huevos rancheros with Chile verde sauce was so delicious. Can't wait to come back to try more of their breakfast dishes, there were at least five other things I wanted to try.

    This is such a cute brunch spot--the view is absolutely amazing, the customer service is great, and the food is truly to die for! They're open all day, so you can come in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, which makes it super convenient. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice a beautiful display of wine bottles, and you can clearly see the full bar ahead--definitely sets the tone that the drinks are going to be just as good as the food. Fabiola was our waitress, and she was incredibly sweet and attentive. She answered all of our questions (and we had a lot!), making the whole experience even better. We all started with coffee--because how could we not at breakfast? Unfortunately, their espresso machine wasn't working, so I went with a regular black coffee with creamer. It was actually pretty good! We didn't order any appetizers, but they have plenty of great options to choose from. For my meal, I ordered the ribeye sandwich, and wow--the meat was so tender and juicy, full of flavor, and the portion was perfect. I could honestly eat this every day. My sister had the chilaquiles, which were highly recommended by the staff, and they definitely lived up to the hype. The only thing is we wished they were a little more saucy, as they were slightly on the dry side. My sister-in-law ordered the big breakfast, which comes with two of everything--huge portions and definitely worth it. Now let's talk about the pancakes... they offer both regular pancakes and Mexican-style pancakes, which are thinner--but honestly, so much better. I cannot stress enough how amazing they were. I absolutely fell in love and would come back just for those alone! Overall, such an amazing place. Highly recommend!

    I wanted to give this place a visit when I drove by it just recently. I spotted it for the first time after driving by on my way to the beach. The place is located on a shore with the ocean as the view outside. Weather is always breezy here. The service when entering was excellent. Humberto was our server and he kindly seated us. He asked us if we enjoyed the food etc. was pleasant and easy to talk to. We liked that. It's clean inside and roomy, many people were there on a Friday afternoon. They had a lot of good choices on the menu but all were approaching $20. Pricey for sure. The food ordered was an omelette with potatoes o Brien. The other was a breakfast burrito with fruit. Both about $20 each more or less by a dollar off. The drink ordered was a coffee and water. The coffee was $4 and bitter. It was from a plastic container not fresh. I made a mistake I blame myself for ordering this without checking. It didn't exist in the menu as a hidden item. Overall $50 after tax and tip. It was overpriced but the experience of the ambiance, view of ocean and service compensate for this negative aspect.

    It's a Wednesday and we were turned away at 7:55pm

    The food is great, the atmosphere is great. The reason for my 3 stars is due to the fact that they have it advertised online and on the door they close at 9pm. After a long day and looking forward to dinner turned away. Really disappointing.

    The seafood pasta and side soup

    The service was great, I feel like all service in Oxnard is amazing bc the people themselves are so nice. The food...maybe we ordered incorrectly, but I had the pork Chile verde which was a little too sour for me. The Mexican rice and beans were great. My fiance had the seafood pasta which was ALL CREAM, could have been more seafood for the price...but it was so heavy like 3/4 cream and even the bread was doused in butter. The side soup was a beef broth which was also super salty. We did get the wings for the appetizer which came out piping hot and were fantastic, but the size were incredibly small for wings. Our waiter heard it was my fiancés birthday and surprised us with a dessert which was nice!

    First visit to Tradewinds Cafe & Bar on Saturday, May 2. Visited with my brother-in-law and sister who came from San Diego, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and cozy vibe of the restaurant. We ordered coffee, fresh orange juice, crepes, an omelet with hash browns, chilaquiles, and a classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly throughout the visit. Everything was good overall, and the restaurant had a comfortable local brunch spot feel. That said, personally, it's hard for me to rate the food above 4 stars. Nothing tasted bad, but nothing really stood out or left a strong impression either. I kept waiting for that "wow" moment, but it never quite came. Still glad we tried it with family, but whether I would revisit again... I'd probably have to think about it a little...

    Love breakfast! Service is always great. Love the view of the water only wish they had an outdoor patio. Need to try lunch and dinner soon!

    The Flan

    Service and staff were great! But my food order was on another level of deliciousness! I ordered the Chile Relleno burrito wet in green sauce and it was amazing! Great flavor massive portion definitely a two person meal. And flan dessert was very good as well, not too sweet but just right! I'm definitely going back to try breakfast.

    Stopped in for lunch today at Tradewinds. We started with drinks, chips and guacamole. Kristin provided quality service and was professional and kind. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich and I had the tuna melt. The ambiance, food and service were very good. Highly recommended.

    Excellent dinner! And shout out to Paco for his amazing service! Very friendly and attentive... Such an awesome location overlooking the tradewinds marina and we were able to chill and watch the Dodger game... Great little spot! My husband loved the Chile Verde and my penne alfredo primavera was awesome! I had a side salad with it and it was so fresh and crispy! Ended up taking home more than half of my pasta, very large portion, looking forward to eating that tomorrow! Highly recommend!

    Enjoyed a great lunch today! My wife sears this is the best tuna melt in Ventura County! I went with the Tradewinds salad. Fresh lettuce and ahi tuna, made for the perfect meal. Added balsamic dressing for a zesty taste. Just make sure to arrive by 2pm. The team does a change over to start the evening at 4pm. Staff is warm and welcoming. See you all there soon!!

    Very mediocre. Skip this, go somewhere else…read more The food is not worth it. Nothing was great. I've ate here in the past, and couldn't remember if it was good or not. I should have made the review before, to remind me that it's not worth it. The service was ok. Our waitress tried her best. She might be better off writing down what people ordered instead of trying to remember things, she missed three things with our party. First, my niece asked, before ordering a pancake combo, if she could get one pancake made with just blueberries and one with just chocolate. Waitress came back and said yes, but that's all she told us.. Second, my wife ordered her corn beef hash with home style potatoes. Instead, the order came to the table with hash browns. I tried her corn beef hash, it was one of the worse ever. Definitely canned stuff, and not made right. It's like someone thought they could make it, so they must went ahead and did it. Third, I ordered a standard burger with onion rings, it came out with fries. For my order, I told the waitress and she got this corrected right away. The burger was just ok. The bun was nice and buttered, brioche. The meat was juicy and cooked medium as requested. It was under-seasoned, but was okay for me as I usually try to get low sodium, but this makes it taste incomplete. Let's talk about my niece's pancakes though, they came out mixed, both blueberries and chocolate in both pancakes instead of two separate pancakes. And when the bill came, I was charged extra charge for each thing. $3 for the chocolate. $3 for the blueberries. Plate came out over $22, that's crazy. Inside is decently clean and large. Lots of space, although maybe it was because we came in a weekday early at 8:45. Anyway, skip it, not worth it. I prefer the local IHOP.

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!

However the quality control & staff members are sadly inconsistent. They are slow to greet slow to check back in (poorly trained). Some times the Bloody Mary has salt sometimes not, sometimes there is 5 pieces of bacon for breakfast sometimes 3. Food often comes out not at the same time so some items are cold while others just arrived (again poor training). At that price point everything should be on point!

The woman serving us was kind, informative, and attentive as well. I love the old school diner vibe as well. The place is very spacious. They also have a full bar which we did not utilize at 8 am this time around. Overall it was really great and we will definitely be back! My new favorite breakfast spot in Oxnard!
