'Forced to pay for food we sent back and never ate!" Just an awful experience! Went there with my gal on a Saturday night for a nice romantic dinner. We had reservations for 7 PM.Our waiter was nice, but the service was a bit on the slow side, I figured this was due to the weekend crowds—but...
I'm visiting a relative in Ventura, CA, and have eaten at Christy's 5 times so far, so obviously I'm a fan. Lot's of locals seem to agree. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and all were eager to please. If it's not on the menu, just tell them what you want and how you want it. No proble...
I all have to say is "It Rock's"
You've got to be kidding! Really bad!!!!! Starting off with the water, it had a funky taste. Ordered raspberry iced tea - no flavor My sweetie ordered cherry coke - got bland iced tea. Sent it back. Sent my iced tea back - got cherry coke. That was the beginning. Service - couldn't understand th...
Excellent place to go eat fresh Chinese food. You have to meet Pauline she is fantastic she cannot only remember your order but your name. I recommend the Health Steamed Chicken with Broccoli with Special Hot Sauce and white rice or their Kon Pao Shrimp
Unfortunately my husband and I tried this place for the first time a week ago for take out and it was horrible!! We love orange chicken but what we go was something that kind of looked like orange chicken but instead of the normal orange red sauce it had an orange brown sauce that tasted rancid. Th...
Our FAVORITE Italian spot. Been going there for over 30 years. Enjoy the Sam's Melt and dipping sauce & Bob O'Grady's Salad. Garlic Bread is the best!
Exceptional cuisine with perfect service. I felt perfectly taken- care for and the food was unique and dleicious
We drive all the way to your restaurant. Your ribs are out of this world.
I never was much of a sushi person, but my boyfriend helped me enjoy the many different types of sushi by explaining good fish from bad fish. It was his sister-in-law who introduced us to "I Love Sushi". It's the best and left me craving sushi there on a weekly basis. Although the food is a bit pric...
Best place to find authentic mexican food. The ambience was amazing and the tamale making demonstration was absolutly brilliant. It is a nice place to enjoy authentic mexican food at an affordable price.
The best lasagna and garlic bread my wife and I have ever had -- period. It was probably 1992 when we randomly chose to eat here (on our way back to San Diego). A few years later, my wife asked me where the BEST lasagna I ever had was -- and I said "That place we went to in Ventura.". So, returni...
Asked at the front desk of the Quality Inn in Ventura about a beer and sandwich place. "Oh, Dukes!" I walked over and found a little bit of paradise. The locals were gregarious and the beer great - 12 oz or 32 oz drafts - and nothing in between. Everybody friendly and a really neat place. Enjo...
Worst Mexican food I have ever had. I was very disappointed. I had heard it was good.....
Well, I heard about all of thier Fish sandwiches. I love fish, could not wait to go. But the Best Tasting fishes were fried. Like Cod & Pollock. The Tuna type fish they offer and the Mahi Mahi they offer are grilled. I only like baked of broiled fish. They will not do that. Did not like the hamburge...
Ferraros is the best. If you havent tried it you need to. The garlic bread is the best. Kids will remember the puppet.
I had the greatest time at Christy's Deli, the people that work there are the best. It's just a happy place to go. The food is awesome.
We LOVED this place!!! My friend and I were on a roadtrip, and this was the perfect cliche California beach diner!!!! I would go back any day of the week!
I have been going there since I was a little kid. I like the music selections and the lime phosphate shakes!
Great diner. Generous portions and delicious breakfast. I have eaten there many times. Great cherry Cokes. I love the decor of the 1950's. Kids would love this place.
