Twisted Oak Tavern in Camarillo, CA offers a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of Schooners in…read moreValencia or Jameson's in Santa Monica, but with significantly more space and far better parking. The location itself adds to its appeal, and each visit has reinforced how much I enjoy the environment. The food is consistently high quality, the crowd is friendly, and the service stands out. The staff is exceptionally professional, especially Sydney. She is quick, attentive, and makes guests feel genuinely welcomed. On a recent visit, she immediately noticed we were waiting and took care of us without hesitation. Twisted Oak has earned a spot on my regular rotation thanks to its excellent food and outstanding customer service. Grayson

We were in town for a wedding. One evening, after dinner, we explored Old Towne Camarillo before…read morevisiting Twisted Tree Tavern for dessert. We ordered an iced tea ($4.00), TO Honey I'm Blonde ($7.75), Stone Buenaveza ($8.25), Limoncello Mascarpone Cake ($7.50), and the "special cheesecake" ($9.50). With $2.68 in tax, the total was $39.68 before tip. Despite the word "tavern" in the name, this place is family friendly. During our visit, there were two large group gatherings (with kids) happening at the same time. The interior is spacious but can get noisy due to the hard surfaces. However, when the weather cooperates, there are outdoor patios available in both the front and back. Although the color palette of the interior décor is dark, the space feels clean and comfortable. There's a variety of seating options--booths, tables, high-tops, and communal tables. I'm sure the pastries on the menu came from a third-party vendor, but they were really good. (Edit to follow.) * The business owner informs me that the pastries are actually made in house! They are very good--so save room for dessert. * Our server Julie was a great hostess.

I was seated by a very polite young man at the front, and hits from the 70's were playing the whole time. I was in heaven. I stopped in for apple pie a la mode and coffee and everything was delicious. Also, my server Brianna couldn't have been more personal and professional. Another throwback to another time when service actually meant something. With so many other Marie Callender's closing across California, I urge you to visit here sooner than later. You'll be happy you did.

5/5 Stars Don't let…read morethe name fool you--Hidden Cafe is a true hidden gem. If you're from Guam, Hawaiʻi, or simply love authentic island-style comfort food, this place delivers. The owners are originally from Guam and have been part of the Camarillo community for decades. They're incredibly friendly, welcoming, and treat you like family. It's easy to see why this restaurant has such a loyal local following. The food is the real deal--authentic, flavorful, and made with heart. Whether you're craving a taste of Guam, Hawaiʻi, or just a great home-cooked meal, you won't be disappointed. If you're driving through Camarillo or live nearby, make Hidden Cafe a stop. Great people, outstanding food, and an atmosphere that feels like home. Highly recommended. Five out of five stars!

AVOID! Would give 0 stars if I could. My family and I were…read moretraveling home on a Sunday morning from our vacation. We were ready for some hot breakfast, quickly looked at restaurants near me , got off the freeway at the next exit because "Hidden Cafe" popped up. Good reviews, 3 minutes away. We arrived at the same time as another party, they had 4. 3 adults 1 highchair. The rude , older lady with dark hair asked how many we had after them, than jumped back to that group and asked where they wanted to sit, etc. Sat them immediately. Outside. They got asked drinks immediately. Clearly she was overwhelmed two parties walked in at the same exact time. Now I have worked in the restaurant industry for many years, I was a waitress. I 100% understood why she may of been overwhelmed at that moment. 2 groups walking in at the same time, my group being a party of 6. 4 kids 2 adults. We were patient and waited for about 5 minutes before she sent the young busser kid out to seat us. I was holding my puppy in a dog carrier , I asked if we could sit outside. There is a sign on the door that says no dogs inside dining area. He said "no there is a table in the back at the inside patio" I pointed to the sign, said "I have a dog" he said "it's okay" so we walked in and sat down. We picked what we wanted to drink, we picked what we wanted to eat, all in our heads though. Because NOBODY ever came to us once we were sat down! My daughter was able to finish a whole coloring page before anyone even walked over to us. That's coloring in the lines and no scribbling. Not even a quick snotty "I'll be right with you" we didn't get 1 word. A bunch of ignores and glares. The server walked to an already established checked out table next to us to refill their drink, we didn't even have water let alone a hello. The dishwasher looked confused why we were the ONLY table in the whole entire place not being helped. The young boy who sat us, looked confused. We got up and left. The blonde server and the dark hair rude old lady , STILL didn't say a word when we walked past them to leave. Rest assured, they ran to where we sat to see what we left. Weird they all knew where the table was when we weren't sitting there. This crap of a service can stay hidden. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!!! I have NEVER been treated this way. I have NEVER walked out of a restaurant after I have sat down. We have never felt so uncomfortable, and unwelcomed in a restaurant. So thank you, hidden cafe for the most unexpected, rudest experience of our vacation.

So when we made the trip to Ventura to pick up some prime Grandma Chic furniture for the most beautiful woman in the world, there was zero chance we weren't making a Finney's stop. While the girls did their thrift-shopping thing, my son-in-law and I held down the patio with a couple hazy IPAs and some quality relaxation. The staff was all over it in the best way -- attentive, friendly, and more than willing to come admire the puppy. We kicked things off with the bone-in honey chicken wings, which absolutely did their job. Then it was on to the mains: my go-to prosciutto and arugula pizza, Neeko's Peggy's chicken, MBWITW's usual salad, and a burger for Crazy Kid #2. This place just doesn't miss. There's a reason we come here 5-6 times a month. Great food, great drinks, great vibe, fair prices, and consistently good service. That's a hard combo to beat. Finney's is one of those places you keep going back to because it always delivers. And it does.

On a Saturday for lunch we waited about ten minutes for a table for three. There is indoor and outdoor seating. But note that a lot of the indoor seating is high tops. Our waiter was super nice and attentive. The food wasn't bad. I do, by principal, hate places that don't just include the side of fries with your burger. But my turkey burger did taste good. I would say the only good thing we weren't as impressed with was the margarita pizza. It was a flatbread and honestly a little bland. But the pretzel appetizer was fun how it came with the savory and sweet dipping options. They could put the pretzel with the caramel on a dessert menu and I would get it.

Had the country…read morefried steak, meatloaf, chicken dumplings with sides of mac and cheese, fried okra, and steak fries. We came in around 5pm and were promptly seated. No less than 6 tables were in need of bussing; the place was a mess. Not busy, maybe half full. Understaffed and yet servers disappear for ages. Food came out quickly and there was nothing that stood out as exceptional but also nothing objectionable. The country gravy on the steak had a unique flavor; couldn't quite pin it down but it wasn't the rich delicious gravy I'm used to from other places. The steak itself was very good. The steak fries also good, fried okra nice! Mac and cheese excellent. Meatloaf was a good, generous portion and was good. The dumplings were a solid choice. I give it 4 stars for food, 3 stars for service (initial service of order taking and delivery to table was 4 and subsequent service was 2) and 2 stars for ambiance. Total averages to 3 stars.

I would always get the scramble and slowly but surely they would mess up my order, forget salsa or give me someone else's order. It has been awhile since I ordered from there and today I decided to give it another try. This scramble was $22! The first picture is when it arrived. Not a full serving of potatoes and the worlds smallest scramble! The next picture is after I went through the omelette and realized it's all spinach! Such a waste of money and it's too bad because this place used to be so good!! Will not go back here again. I have worked in restaurants all of my life and would never let this be sent out.
