SOCIAL TAP VENTURA REVIEWS

We recently visited Social Tap Ventura and were absolutely thrilled! We tried the Southwestern Burger, Chicken Caesar Salad, and Pan Seared Salmon, and every dish was simply divine. The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked, the salad was fresh and crisp, and the salmon was tender and excellently prepared. The outstanding selection of beers was a perfect complement to our meal. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We definitely recommend this restaurant and will be returning for sure.

I had the fish and chips platter and it was delicious. The chicken wings were great they were slightly drizzled in BBQ sauce. If you like BBQ sauce my recommendation would be to ask for extra BBQ sauce. Parking was a little difficult. Staff was prompt with service. They have an outdoor seating area not facing the ocean nerveless a great place to have lunch or dinner.

Friendly service, Best New England clam chowder I've ever had. Great spot overlooking the harbor. Friendly and engaging service.

WINCHESTERS GRILL & SALOON REVIEWS

So me and my girl came down from Santa Barbara for our anniversary redo dinner after a horrible situation at the Aloha steakhouse in Ventura the day before. We came down to this steakhouse and it was absolutely amazing great food great staff there was a gentleman playing music outside all around one of the best dinners and steak dinners I've ever had.Sam the owner was absolutely great I will be coming back for sure. To the young lady behind the bar I think her name was miss Jacqueline and the young lady who served us they were absolutely both amazing and of course the Cheff you made a meal to remember! Winchesters you have a customer for life thank you so much you made our anniversary redo dinner awesome.

My brother and I had a great time at Winchesters. We were on a Friday night right before it started to get really busy. We were seated quickly and were surprised that they had live music that day. Some live music is always great when you’re enjoying your meal. I had a barbecue tri-tip sandwich with a loaded potato and it was excellent, it hit the spot. My brother had some pork chops and he enjoyed. He had a little bit of a sweet tooth and ordered the chocolate cake and it was enormous we ended up splitting it but that was enough chocolate cake for probably four people.

The restaurant has a very nive ambience. The food came out very fast and the service was delightful. The BELT burger was very tasty. They have several local beers on tap. Will definitely be returning.

DARGANS IRISH PUB & RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Solid spot for drinks and food. They are great at accommodating larger parties and the service is always great. They have Irish food and a wide range of mixed drinks, whiskey and beer. Whether it’s a weekday or a weekend, this place is always fun for nightlife. You can stay for dinner or just pop in for a drink during a bar crawl.

We ordered from the pot roast sandwich and the Irish banger added a few sides. The area has a cool vibe, and both the food and service were good.

Great staff, always friendly and always smiling. Made us feel welcome. Food was flavorful and drinks were strong. Be back soon!
