"I'm staying at the Fairfield Inn Suites behind this Sports Bar. After working all day, I was tired and didn't want to get back into traffic on the 101, so I decided to eat within walking distance. I looked up locations around me and came across Sportsman Camarillo. The menu had so many great choices for dinner, and even the appetizers were tempting. I finally decided on the rack of lamb for $44, which came with mixed veggies and my choice of clam chowder instead of a salad, along with a baked potato as my side. I was told the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I walked over to the restaurant 20 minutes later, the atmosphere and setting were definitely more bar than restaurant. I was greeted by both bartenders, and one of them checked on my order. It wasn't ready yet but only took another 8 minutes. When I got back to my room and opened my plate, I was immediately disappointed. But then again, I did order lamb chops at a bar. The lamb chops were cooked to my requested temperature, but no seasoning at all had been added. The presentation of the signature rolls wasn't great, and the taste was just as bad. The mixed veggies, which I was looking forward to as much as the lamb, were just as disappointing—soggy and not visually appealing. The baked potato wasn't the loaded baked potato I'm used to; it had no cheese or bacon, only chives and green onions, and they still included the sour cream I asked them to hold. The clam chowder was the best part of my dinner. I won't ever visit this establishment again, but if I had to for some reason out of my control and I wasn't paying for it, I would only order the clam chowder."
