Wow! If possible to give a five-star plus I would. I've eaten and have reviewed many places and this was just some of the best I have had. Tried the Cobb salad and was refreshing and filling at the same time. Also tried the Pesto Turkey Sandwich, it was full of flavor and just plain good.

Been coming here for a while and never left a review but I feel compelled to do so now. The food is always stellar and the service on point. Recently when coming here I have been blown away by both the food and service, please make BURGER WEEK BURGER MONTH, and shout out to Katrina who always has the good recommendations!

Awesome place to work. Awesome place to eat. If you order the pork belly, you will absolutely get it. But you have to ORDER it. Thats the trick. Communication is key .P.s. Literally all the food is amazing.

My recent visit to this place was a mixed bag. The venue's ambiance was fantastic, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. However, the service left much to be desired.Despite repeated requests, I never received the pork belly I ordered. This oversight was disappointing and detracted from an otherwise enjoyable evening.While the staff were friendly, their attention to detail was lacking. Despite this hiccup, other menu items were delicious, showcasing the culinary talent of the kitchen.In summary, this place offers a good atmosphere and tasty food, but inconsistent service may hinder the overall experience. Thank you, Katrina, for ruining it!

I am reviewing the shop side of this business and will update when we eat here on the restaurant side. We make sure to swing by here every time we are visiting or passing through Ventura. Incredible selection, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, and hard to find offerings in cheese, charcuterie, and wine make this our go to place.

Just enjoyed a lovely meal at Paradise pantry. They never fail to provide impeccable service, wonderful ambiance and THE most delicious food. Unique dishes full of flavor.We had marinated white anchovies, homemade pate and their simple market salad full of veggies ... followed by the gnocchi and classic grilled cheese sandwich served on crispy thick sliced bread studded with caramelized onions along with their sweet crunchy pickles. ?

Overcooked my Christmas seabass, which was a $40+ meal. I've had bass at a few restaurants in downtown Ventura and this place had the worst bass dinner. Not sure why the hype.

We sat at the bar this time and got wonderful recommendations for food and wine. The vegan green soup was to die for and the Sicilian Sashimi was excellent. My husband got killer Mac n cheese with an egg on it. He said it was delicious but he devoured it so fast, I wasn’t able to try it. I always get whatever is recommended by the cheese monger. Last best cheese was a goat semi-hard cheese called Ewephoria!Wheelchair accessibility: Tight squeeze but accessible inside. Outside dining is comfortable and much more accessible for a wheelchair. Tables are a great hight too

We had the nicest Brunch here on Sunday. The charcuterie board was a perfect balance of unique cheeses and meats and fruits. We decided to have the mystery flite of wines which was a reasonable and fun way to taste some very interesting and delicious wines. We shared the egg, mushroom and bacon omelet which came with delicious potatoes and toast and jam and our friends had the best salad with white shrimp. The coffee is a French Press which is fantastic and strong and the service terrific as well. The Perfect Sunday in Ventura!

We had a lovely dinner here and loved how intimate and mellow it felt (we went on a Wednesday night). Great food, great wine list and lots of tastyoptions for non drinkers too! Highly recommend the veggie burger with Chef’s mushrooms and the Farmers Market Salad.Vegetarian options: Ovo lacto vegetarians should have a good selection, plenty of meat free choices.Dietary restrictions: Not a ton of options for a plant based diet, but the salad I had could have been made vegan by omitting the cheese. The veggie burger with mushrooms was delicious, but it was served on a brioche bun which more than likely was not vegan.

Came for Brunch on Sunday morning last week. Sat outside on the patio/sidewalk seating area with our dog and party of four. We were on the hunt for two things, a place we could bring our pup, and amazing Mac N Cheese. We got both! Service was excellent, food was amazing, menu even had farm fresh food bowls for dogs! So cool!Fresh Quiche was perfectly seasoned, wish we could have bought a whole pie. Mushroom omellete was very tasty. The breakfast bruschetta was on POINT with all the fresh ingredients. The one that stole the show, the breakfast mac! Perfect pasta macaroni, cheese sauce not too salty with a serene velvety texture, topped with an over easy egg and two strips of bacon and you've convinced this table of four this is exactly what we were searching for. We'll done! Bravo! Can't wait to find a reason to visit Ventura again so we can come back for brunch!!!
