The highest quality dining experience in the NW corner of the valley bar none!

Had a lovely late lunch early dinner. Our server was Astra and she was delightful. The food was good too. We set outdoors on the beautiful patio which we really enjoyed.

We had read reviews that praised the wedge salad, so we started with that, having them hold the candied bacon and chop the salad for us. There were candied pecans that were so awfully sweet that I had to pick them out of the salad before I could eat it. My husband was not as bothered by them. Then we ordered the miso glazed Chilean sea bass over white rice with asparagus with a burre blanc. Again, the sauce was too sweet and had a swirl of a very very sweet balsamic running through it. My husband's fish was perfectly cooked, but mine, which had a thinner cut, was quite overdone. I could not eat the sauce for my fish and since it densely surrounded the rice, I only ate a bit of the center of that. For dessert we shared the restaurant specialty, which is a butter cake served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The ice ream and whipped cream were great, but the cake, which tasted like it was a cornmeal batter, was too sweet to eat. We each had a glass of chardonnay, which as passable. This dinner was to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. Larson's is the most upscale restaurant in our town, so we tried it. It did not feel special and the food was so much too sweet that we will not be returning. We will go back to leaving Simi Valley for special occasions, and for just a nice, lovely dining experience we will eat at Beto's, a wonderful Italian restaurant here in Simi, where the service is so lovely that they make every visit feel special.

We seat at the bar (by choice) Giovanni was great and the food (happy hours menu) was tasty!

Music was about laud but everything else was perfect.
