While on vacation with my husband and daughter in Oxnard, we were looking for a place for dinner on Monday evening. This was an absolutely amazing choice and recommend to anyone. My daughter has a restrictive diet due to allergies and being a vegan and they made her a special pasta. When our server learned that it was her birthday recently, he brought out a surprise dessert, and a candle so we could sing to her since we couldn’t be here for her 21st birthday. My husband said his fillet was the best steak he had ever had, and believe me we’ve been to many high-end steakhouses. All I can say is: GO NOW!

Prime Steakhouse is a beautiful restaurant and we had a "pretty good" dinner but were very disappointed by a couple of things and wanted to share....The hubby and I have visited only a handful of times over the last 15 years and each time we've been disappointed - so we decided to give it another try and again, let down. Not sure we'll ever be back, just not worth it.It's well decorated and romantic inside; however, service leaves a lot to be desired and our food was cold. We visited for a date night and were looking forward to a great experience before walking across the street to Ventura Music Hall which is why we chose Prime for dinner.My main issue was waiting over 20+ minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. They were NOT very busy at all, and despite our server visiting all the neighboring tables around us several times, we were passed by over and over. Being that we really wanted to enjoy a cocktail before ordering our food, I finally gave up waiting and went to the bar to order our drinks - our server finally showed up at our table when I was at the bar, so I came back to order our drinks.She apologized for the wait and I said no problem, but was already feeling ignored by that point. We ordered a maitai and a martini, our appetizers (tuna tartare and bacon shrimp), our salads (wedge), and our entrees (filet mignon and baked potato).Appetizers were good, but our salads left a lot to be desired - they left the very bitter and hard core of the iceberg wedge in the lettuce so nearly 1/3 of my salad had to be cut out since it was inedible. The filet mignons were cooked to proper doneness and were quite good, but they were almost cold - and our baked potatoes tasted like they had been sitting out. They were not hot at all and were very dry - butter and cheese would not melt. Neither of us finished our meals and took most of it to go.My husband ordered a glass of wine towards the end of our dinner and I'm 99% sure our server forgot about it because another 20 minutes went by and when she came to take our plates, he reminded her and she came quickly with it after that. We received better, more attentive service from the busser when he brought our bread (again, she forgot) - give that guy a raise.Overall, for the price, definitely expected much better quality of food and service. In my opinion, food quality can be lacking when the service is good - unfortunately we didn't experience either and probably won't be back. Bummed.

Steaks cooked nicely and to order, Brussels sprouts side dish delectable. Apple dessert just right. Service friendly and willing, but timing and attention were mixed. Elegant and very dark interior- might need phone light to read menu.

Service initially good. Was ignored after dinner served. Steak was tough although medium rare. Patio currently closed for repairs.

New Year’s dinner? Excellent McKenzie very knowledgeable and accommodatingGreat service, enjoyable
This restaurant never disappoints. We ate in the new patio room which provides more space. The fireplace is a great feature. Let's get to the food! Everything was cooked to perfection. Our server was diligent with our dietary issues and provided excellent service. Thanks Mackenzie! On our previous visit her sister was our server. It was nice to see them work together. The salmonwas moist and the pasta with sautéed spinach was great. The filet mignon was tender. Try the balsamic vinegarette. This is our favorite restaurant. Well done!
Food was fantastic minus the hair in my first bite of bread and butter. Not much mentioned when I showed server- hence my star rating. Beautiful patio set up, long wait for a cocktail. I'd definitely return but not on NYE, waaaaaay to expensive packages. Regular night would be perfect!

Prime steakhouse is a great date night spot. The prices aren’t too unreasonable and most food you order will be great. I will say, some sides and appetizers are not as great as others, but satisfying nonetheless.

It was Christmas Day. The patio was beautifully light with indoor tree lights. The acoustics were better than a lot of restaurants, so it was reasonably quiet. The staff were very nice and the service was fine. All the food was just delicious.

The customer service is the shining star of this restaurant! My boyfriend and I ate here for our anniversary and everything was great up until the main course. Drinks and appetizers were awesome. I ordered the Filet Mignon which came overcooked and tough, despite being butterflied at the recommendation of the hostess. My boyfriend said his chicken was dry.
