One of the best restaurants in Ventura! Service is phenomenal. Dueling pianos is fun but eat in the heated patio if you want quiet.

When we arrived, we were told that Moofish café was not and is never open for Lunch. They tried to move us to the hotel bar however since this was supposed to be a special brunch for my mom’s birthday, we didn’t really feel like having it at a bar. Staff continued to gaslight me that I did something wrong and that I could not not have made a reservation there. I have no idea if the restaurant is any good when it is open, but nobody should ever make a reservation there for anything before dinner.

Attended the Dueling Pianos. What fun! Two very talented piano players that had a great sense of humor (not the best voices though) and entertained us for about 3 hours. Service was excellent, love my ahi tuna salad, my friend loved her burger, my husband and my friend's husband ordered the squash linguini which they were not too crazy about. All in all though a very fun evening.

Singer can not otherwise I might have been more enjoyable. I HOPE they can replace the performer. There are better ones.

We had a confirmed reservation, AND I called first to be sure they were open. Nevertheless, when we arrived, the cafe was closed in preparation for a special event. We ended up eating across the street at Aloha Steakhouse, which I would definitely recommend. It has a much better ambience and view.
