Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Camarillo

We truly had an outstanding experience, start to finish. Given the popularity of Lawry’s, you’d expect it to feel a little mass market, right? Not at all. We felt very well cared for throughout. And the prime rib was as excellent as ever. Many thanks to Michael, who gave us a great history lesson - Lawry’s set so many trends. Thanks to everyone at Lawry’s!

Can’t say enough good things about Geoffrey’s. The ocean and sunset views were breathtaking while the food was delicious. Our server, Angel was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. Would highly recommend!

Had a really excellent meal here on Friday night. Great views, really warm & inviting atmosphere, attentive service & the food was outstanding. We split the Waygu Beef Meatball appetizer which was perfect for our party of three. All of us loved it - great, rich flavor in a well-prepared sauce that allowed the flavor to come through. We had drinks - I had a great Italian Pinot Grigio and my friends had mixed drinks that came out perfectly. For our main courses, we had fish tacos (both my friends) and I had the Chopped Salad which was comprised of chicken, vegetables, grains and avocado in a balsamic dressing - so good and a generous portion (having it for lunch tomorrow). And after, I had a soy cappuccino that hit the spot. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough - Ron, the manager, and Nico, our server do an excellent job. I can’t wait to return.

Mistral is one of the rare restaurants that serves equaly faboulos meat ,poultry as well as seafood dishes. The menu is extensive. Yesterday we had gravlax for appetizer.Main courses were osso buco and branzino. Mistral has been the top restaurant in the valley for over thirty years. In addition of wonderful food,wait stuff is spot on. Street and valet parking

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!
