The food and service is always great. Usually, the owner greets us and makes sure our is just how we ordered. One of our favorite restaurants in Ventura.

Went to a wine pairing dinner. Purchased a case of wine but when we returned to town they no longer had the wine for us. After numerous visits and several ‘we’ll call you back’ responses (without actually calling us back) we just gave up. Food was good but being out $200 wasn’t worth more visits from us. Lesson learned.

Completely unassuming place with excellent fare. The Zach pie was to melt away for! Even the vanilla ice cream is soo good, that it speaks for how well they pay attention to the details!

A local gem! Cafe Zack is out favorite place to celebrate in Ventura. The food and service are always top notch. The filet mignon is to die for. Never drowned in sauce.

Absolutely sublime experience. Just perfection from start to finish. These folks know how to host. Possibly the best service my family and I have ever received. And the food? Divine. The items we ordered were clearly designed with thoughtful balance of flavor, and moreover with perfectly executed presentation. And to top it off, the wine was just lovely. Definitely a new favorite and a spot we’ll be sure to visit again and again.
Cafe Zack was excellent. Service was fantastic. The indoor area was small but intimate. I sat on the patio, which had fewer people and is a nice space for dining. The food was excellent. I had a mussel appetizer and a salad as I was not very hungry. It was delicious and was appropriate for my appetite.

The atmosphere is dated and lacks comfort in a variety of ways. All the photos of the food above have the exact same side of vegetables and they even lack seasoning; there is zero imagination or innovation on the menu and the execution is is just enough to get by. Their website is down so you can’t look at the menu. We were looking forward to trying the lobster appetizer and it left a lot to be desired seeing as how it was canned dark yellow corn. VERY disappointing. They fit the 2 person tables into the leftover room in the restaurant. By that I mean that they put large parties (8 people on one side that night) on the ends while smashing 2 small tables between them and it’s just flat out NOISY. We were out for my birthday and could not wait to leave. It would have been worth asking for our money back it was all sooooo bad. It’s not personal but it is unforgivable. Not even worth a free meal

We had the seafood curry and ribeye followed by a chocolate cake and side of homemade vanilla ice cream. The food was prepared in high quality and delicious fashion by a real chef! The table service was the level that fine dining should have, too. This is a quaint restaurant perfect for celebrating a date night with its romantic atmosphere. The lights are dimmed too low for reading the menu and it would benefit from ac. Overall it was excellent food and lovely!

This restaurant has a great european vibe, with a cozy patio and comfortable seating. Wait staff is wonderfully attentive (both Jose and Matt merit mention). The food is great, we came for lunch one day and back for dinner the next evening. The house salad is nice and tangy, the veggies super fresh and the main dishes generously sized. Kudos to Hector and his team for making our anniversary dinner very special!
