Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Simi Valley

We always love it here. We always look forward to seeing Gio’s smiling face and his warm greetings! We love the House Burger and fries and the strawberry lemonade just became a new favorite!

Scott, our very special customer service server, was an amazing help and made the night. I had made reservation weeks in advanced to another restaurant and due to the fires wasn't able to go as they closed down. So when we arrived to the restaurant we were greeted by guest services who was kind enough to seat us and to wait for our other guest to arrive. We had a party of 6. At no point did we feel rushed to get out of the restaurant. I also have to say that the steaks that we ordered were super delicious and cooked to our specifications. Also if you have the opportunity to order the special New York Waygu to do it regardless of the price and get it cooked to medium rare. We are not sponsored or paid to eat there it is quite the opposite and we went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. This is probably our 4th time going there and I am always happy with the service the restaurant provides and gives. The level that the staff gives is 100% genuine and friendly. I would and will forever go back.

I celebrated my 55th birthday at Musso and Franks'. The best steak dinner I've had in years! The au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach were fantastic pairings. I also did not have to explain what a "Rusty Nail" was to their mixologist behind the bar. Fantastic dinning experience and we will be going back.

We came here to celebrate my daughter‘s 26th birthday with the family. This is our first time dining in here and the ambience looks amazing. It’s not too loud. It’s not too bright, but it’s just right. The decor is also fantastic and interesting. Food it’s really good. The fillet Tokyo style is the favorite Although I don’t eat meat, but I am glad that they all like it. The Bronzino was a little bit salty for me, but it was tasty. The highlight of the night was the dessert platter. It was amazing and we would dine in just to order the dessert platter. We think our waiter who is really kind and very helpful with all our request.

New Years Day and we wanted some place that we knew would be fantastic, so where else but Gjelina? It was busy but the hosts and servers were unfailingly polite. We ordered 6 things from the menu. My wife's vegan so she had the vegetable sandwich (she had to fight me for it, it was so good). Brussel sprouts, grilled fennel, and the frites were all great. My son and I split the anchovy and burrata toast - a first for me - and it's my new favorite. Finished with the excellent pomodoro pizza - no cheese and none needed, because the jammy tomato confit is the star of the dish. I love this place. It never lets me down. Happy 2025!
