"Entirely disappointed in this dining experience. Our Valentines Day Reservation was for and right off the bat, we waited or minutes for a server to come by before going back to alert the hostess. He arrived shortly afterward and redeemed himself by being quite helpful despite the negative first impression. My first course smoked portabello appetizer was so tiny that my husband and I laughed about it.... literally what appeared to be of a very small portabello (so, a chunk) with some scattered watercress greens and a small dollop of balsamic – infused caviar. I joked to our server about the kitchen running out of portobello, and he noted that it had been a very busy night, but did not deny it. Hubby’s corn chowder app was good. Second course wedge salads were thankfully good. Then, minutes before our main course was to be served, we were informed that they ran out of the NY Strip steak (one of only three meal options, due to the prix fixe menu) and would my husband like fish or chicken. After an emphatic “No, I really wanted the steak” our server went back to the kitchen and came back to say they’d found him a tenderloin they agreed to substitute. It was good, but arrived rare instead of med-rare and needed to be sent back and cooked up. My airline chicken breast was not good — no trace of the Brie that was supposed to be inside and terribly dried out. Definitely overcooked. While the side dishes were good, they were disappointingly the highlight of my meal instead of the main course. Although we appreciated the tenderloin substitution, it was hard to justify paying per person, before drinks, for what we received on what was supposed to be a special occasion. I doubt we will return — and definitely never again on Valentines Day"

"My friend and I like to go to Sharky. We were at several of their locations, but this is the closest to my house. We are vegan and learned about it by Chef AJ, who use the AJ Burrito and AJ Bowl options they use. (These are not listed in the menu, but they exist and you will look like a Sharky's expert when you ask. You will ask if you want black or pinto beans. I usually say mixed and they give you both. My friend likes the Sharky 's Quinoa Salad with dressing on the side. Other vegan options include Bio Tofu Veggie Tacos, Bio Roasted Vegetable Bowl and Bio Tofu and Veggie Burrito. I also had the tostada, but without cheese and sour cream. (It is brilliant and huge, comes in a large tortilla bowl and is even bigger after I load it with green onions and pico de gallo from the Salsa Bar. Vegan side dishes include brown rice, Mexican rice, quinoa with vegetables, black beans, pint beans, broccoli, yams and roasted vegetables. (You also serve the vegetables steamed when you ask. One of the best features is the Salsa Bar, where you can load on your favorite salsa, pico de gallo, green onions, lemons, etc. Your Fire Roasted Salsa just won Best Medium and Best Red Awards at the Oxnard Salsa Festival 2018. I love her tea too. They serve 3 species, black, tropical and green, all brewed. I'm all three for an ingenious iced tea. Unlimited refills. They also have rewards; You can use your phone number, a reward card or app. For each $100 spent, you get a $7 reward loan. (Sign on your first visit because you want back. After placing your order, ask for some chips (they will give you free, visit the Salsa bar, pick up your drink and wait until they bring the order to your table. Be ready to eat because they are FAST. If you want more chips, just go to the counter and ask. Staff are a pleasure to work on it. When I grew up, my mother always said that you can say a good place to eat when you see the police eating there. My friend and I were at least 6 locations and we have seen policemen / or firefighters eat in exactly every place where we were. I was at this point and I counted 12 (no joke police in there. Not for a crime, but for food. Very recommended! Updated by previous review on 2018-08-18"
