Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Camarillo

Magnificent service. Some of the best. The Yule log—sublime! The pigs in a blanket—imagine what that might be like with a master pastry chef! Shrimp cocktail—how often is it merely passable? Here it is of a uniformly exquisite tenderness. I want to say again, the SERVICE. This place is an industry standard but is generally underrated. Visit it again.

We went for the Christmas Eve special buffet. It was their first specialty dining experience we’ve been to. The staff there is always attentive and friendly, it can get a little loud since it’s a smaller space, but there was a saxophonist playing which drowned out much of the other’s conversation. The food selection was great, but the desserts assortment was lacking, in my opinion. Overall, great experience and I’ll do it again!

Great food and service. Risotto with scallops, Cajun shrimp, and cocktails were delicious.

We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.

Iconic restaurant with beautiful grand room. Prime rib and all the sides were delicious. At the beginning of the meal, Lawrys offers Warm sourdough bread and butter.The overall ambiance is elegant. I do miss the old/iconic uniform that the servers (waitresses) used to wear. Now, the servers wear a simpler uniform which pales in comparison to the old one.
