    Crispy Chicken Sandwich! Fresno chiles give it an amazing bite!
    Jonathan M.

    Hidden in Old Town Camarillo, Twisted Oak is a non-negotiable stop whenever we are in the area! Inside, It's dark, open concept allow for a relaxed setting. Whether you're grabbing a libation at the bar or eating in their comfy booths, this place accommodates it all! The service and food are always top notch!

    Came on a Sunday , and to a surprise they have happy hour everyday. We had a big group , 16. We had our own private table, conveniently! Everyone was happy with their drinks or beers. I got a dirty martini , not bad for happy hour. $10. I'll stick with draft pours next time. All enjoyed their meals. Service was great. The waitress was OK with multiple separate checks. Bathrooms were clean. Overall very good. Would definitely return.

    Twisted Oak Burger: medium rare
    Gary I.

    Twisted Oak is in Old Town Camarillo in a historic building that used to house a long established, local department store that dominated the commercial scene just like Webb's Department Store in downtown Glendale which for decades kept out major department stores until finally J.W. Robinson managed to slip in. Inside is cavernous with padded booths, long, communal Stamtisch, standard tables & chairs, long bar seating which is dominated by wide screen TV's spouting out sports programming. It's a stereotypical Gastropub with standard New American grub of the first quarter of the 21st century. Jona was our friendly, laid back waiter who would check on us for any other thing needed and could give us separate checks, no problem. 1) Roasted Brussels Sprouts: Blackened Sprouts were tough, fibrous, hard. My sharp knife could barely cut through unless I bore down hard. The high oven heat blackened the outer leaves, but left the inside almost uncooked. Strangely acidic with a bit of funky earthiness. Sweet diced sweet dates, bacony Pancetta, topped with slivered almonds. Bit of chile piquancy. Perhaps sautéing the Brussels Sprouts would cook the sprouts more evenly and thoroughly to soften the toughness and still leave it al dente. A more mild Japanese vinegar would give a cleaner, purer finish. 2) Twisted Oak Burger: Shiny, golden brown Brioche buns. Crisscrossed bacon strips that weren't overcooked to a brittle hardness. Requested Medium rare beef; patty was a dusky rose. Onions sautéed with beer; arrugula was missing in action. Blue cheese was timidly faint. Garlic Aïoli (ah ee oh lee) saved this burger from blandness. I added on Avocado for more healthful oils. Ordered the French fries crispy. They were, but not exceptionally impressive. 1-2a) Oso Rojo: Amber beer, toasty, acidic, softly sweet, refreshingly bitter, burnt grain, bit soapy. 3) Donut Bread Pudding: Rum Donuts, Bourbon caramel sauce, dusting of crushed walnuts, vanilla ice cream à la mode, couldn't find the chocolate chips. Comforting, starchy, sweet dessert. Except for the salads, the food here seems to cater to those who do not like veggies. The food leans toward high carb, sugar, fats, meat. After eating here I felt heavy, overly full, dull, and lethargic with even a touch of heartburn. Prices are very comparable to what is found in high priced Los Ángeles. 3 stars

    The beef dip and Buffalo Cauliflower were bomb!

    What a nice find that I don't think I would've found without Yelp, but we were trying to find a dog friendly place with a good happy hour, and luckily we stumbled onto Twisted Oak! With a wide variety of deals but the French dip sandwich really sold it for me and a nice selection of beers, crispy fries, comforting beef and a not too salty au jus made this place come to life (along with the live music). Excited to be in the 805 community and discover local spots to set up roots (get it like Twisted Oak is a tree.....roots?) I'll see myself out until the next one!

    Our new favorite spot! We love the food, the burgers are the best. The staff help eachother out. I loved seeing that.

    The apps were good, the drinks were yummy. The ambiance was sporty feeling but it was a fun vibe

    3.4 stars- I want to be fair - CSUCI Grad weekend :/ Very slow service. It took such a long time to just get to order our food then to get the food .. all together over two hours. I understand, I get it sometimes people call out but this was bad. Very bad. It's a big restaurant and it was not packed from what I could see. They had live music ! A plus! I just felt like they kept saying sorry but didn't truly care because they'd say ... "We have a few graduations." Then forget about us. We should've left as we weren't really tended to. We were so patient. After all the waiting they wanted to charge $1 per person to cut the cake brought for our grad. Our own plates and utensils were brought. We didn't need staff to cut it as a Bundt and pretty easy to do by us. It's a cool place, very spacious with tons of seating but definitely understaffed. It is locally owned , so I do not want to be too rough with my review. Food was ok. I just had nachos and two beers. The beers were super cold which is a plus. My friends liked their meals. I'd return in the future and update my review if I have a better experience :) An automatic 18% gratuity is added despite the level of service for large groups. Please be aware and understand that service charge.

    A group of 14 looking for a spot to have a celebration dinner and conversation. Twisted Oak was the perfect spot. They held the back room for us - fairly private and fairly quiet. I ordered the mushroom flatbread ($16). My wife got the forager burger ($18.50). Both were delish! Despite being a large group, Julie, our server, got all the orders correct. Our water glasses were kept full. Service was excellent.

    Truffle fries!
    Avery W.

    This was great. We were contemplating on dinner and this came up. It was great they had good drink selection and good service. It wasn't busy very much. One of the 2 flaws is how long the wait for food was. We didn't wait too long but it was fine. The second is no kids menu. Our family was struggling to find an option for our picky child. But overall food was amazing and I would come back!

    Thick Cut Reuben Sandwich
    Colin O.

    My Fiance found this place on a trip up north. Glad we stopped by. That thick cut rueben sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Messy but really tasty. She got the PB and J burger and she really liked it. The flatbread was also good. Nice combination of flavors with the flatbread. Will deftly be back here if i am in the Oxnard area

    Chimichurri Steak Sandwich

    Our waiter was super sweet. It didn't seem super busy but the service was definitely slow. I'm going to be super honest but I was super disappointed with both sandwiches. They tasted so bland and they were lacking so much flavor. It sucks because i've heard good things and read the reviews before eating here. I would be willing to try again for happy hour. But for regular price sandwiches to be bland no thank you

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!
