Great time in Ventura County. This high-class kitchen+bar is designed to relax and have fun even if you don't dance. The working owner is there to greet all of his guests. Best time all day long.

Security filmed our friend. We asked him to delete the video from “recently deleted” but he refused: manager said it happened in public but he represents bombays. The initial security and the other workers continued to be antagonistic.

Uptight & overpriced. Paid $6 for a ginger beer with a wedge of lime. Came to see my talented friends play in a band. They're Looking West and they're WAY too good to be playing for free in a pretentious overglorified sports bar like this.During the break, went next door to The Habit so I could get a veggie burger for under $8. I won't pay $17 for a burger or $11 for fries here. Ridiculous.Politely asked security guy if I could bring my burger in a small plastic container inside. Told him I paid for a drink (and tipped $1). He went to talk to the bar girl I tipped. Came outside and said no. Guess things would be different if I coughed up $5 for fetching a bottle and glass and being a standard person.Sat on the curb while a random crazy homeless lady lurked around the premises. Guy eventually left me alone with her. Thanks.Was 55° in February at 7:30pm. Pretty chilly. Felt very isolating and demeaning. So petty. I would have let someone in who had paid already personally.I went in to grab my glass bc I thought I might choke on my food. He came out and said, "You wasn't supposed to have this," and took it as I was re-entering. Wow. Happy to say I'm almost 5 years sober so thanks for that. He could have given it a whiff.This is how Bombay treats customers. 0 hospitality. I will ensure everyone knows. Never gonna give this hole another penny. It's giving barn dungeon, drunk uncle vibes.

I was not a fan of their new years event. It was very disorganized and very crowded for everyone to be at one dance floor. They also only had 3 bartenders at the bar so we waited a really long time to get our drinks. The ones who were serving at the tables were very nice though. The champagne was also just whoever could grab one because they did not announce it or anything. It was disappointing because they could have been better prepared. They kept mentioning the second dance floor would be opening but they never did. What is nice is that they have a very open photo booth for friends! They also had a taco stand in their patio for food.
We had my wife's birthday party at Bombay couple weeks ago. It was a great party. We brought in a DJ a photo booth and ordered a bunch of hors d'oeuvres from the bar. The food was phenomenal and plentiful. We worked with Anise one of the owners. She was so helpful and very accommodating to any request we had. At the end of the night we wanted to bring out one last appetizer. She suggested that she has a street dog guy that comes in and he could set up a little early at the end of the night so everybody could get street dogs we went for that and that also was very awesome, the price for the accommodations and the food was very reasonable. I would highly recommend using this facility for any upcoming parties, again Anise made everything so easy. Entire staff was also very accommodating.

Went here with 2 girls i had met outside briefly and we all ordered drinks. When they brought the bill they put all of them together, BEFORE handing my card i asked to only pay for my drink please, they handed me a new bill for 10$ reasonably, i then gave my card and paid and went on with my night. I found out the next day i was charged for all 4 other drinks from them and 2 other girls that ordered at the same time. This is the most shady and scummy type of reverse misogyny ive ever seen. I work at 31 flavors and have medical bills to pay and cant afford this. How do you sleep at night?
