Cliff House Inn and Shoals Restaurant 6602 Old Pacific Coast Highway, Ventura, CA 93001

"We loved our stay. First, Amanda’s hospitality, then the amazing view from Room 24 and then the wonderful surprise delicious dinner - goat cheese & roasted pear salad and porcini mushroom risotto with delicious veggies & chicken. We came for the view and got a lot more. (Our only recommendation would be to update the decor.)"

"We arrived NYE to spend New Years by the waves, this place is a mini paradise the views alone even on a cloudy evening when we arrived were peaceful perfection. We did get to the restaurant late the kitchen closed, we didn't check what time tbey closed but assumed it would be open since it's NYE, never the less the staff was so amazing and got us drinks and we tried the tiramisu SPECTACULAR. Literally I'd go back just for that! We enjoyed the restaurant the next day the staff was short handed but they took excellent care, the Burger was delish. This is a cozy beautiful location, staff is wonderful, hospitality was superb, food was delish!"

"The food was delicious. Worth the wait. There seemed to be only one server for the entire restaurant, but she was very friendly and positive. Bus-staff was helpful and attentive. Martini was served a la 007- shaken rather than stirred and "a twist" was 4 mini olives. Oh well. It still complimented the steak. The bananas/ice cream/ almonds dessert was fantastic!"

"I love this place, it's so quaint and charming, sits right on the Cliffside. The ocean is right beside you as you dine. Food is always good, and the staff is so very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Salmon on a bed of rice, topped with artichoke and lemon drizzle, huevis ranchers and the organic mixed greens salad. Been craving it since."

"Had an amazing brunch at one of my favorite hotels in Ventura. The shoals' restaurant is a hidden gem beautiful beach view. Amazing food. Great service and is very affordable. If you want to impress a girl this is the place to visit. I love the vibe here it's so peaceful. It feels like heaven. I decided to sit outdoors to enjoy the beach. Every now and then you'll see dolphins swimming. The sunsets are the best here."
