The Cave 4435 McGrath Street, Ventura, CA 93003

"I might've liked the casual wine tasting and dining but I tried the private dining experience with a large group and hated it. They charged a few hundreds to secure the room, which didn't go towards the cost of food and it isn't even cave-like (if you want the cave interior, skip the private room). They "made a special menu" just for our large party which meant they gave us a smaller, more limited version of the full menu with the prices hidden so you don't know how much things cost until later. And you can't split the check in any way. The food was mediocre and way overpriced. Would not recommend the private dining experience."

"Great place to have lunch or dinner and sample wonderful wines. Great selection of wine at the attached wine shop, and live music on certain nights for dinner. Nice atmosphere and highly recommended. Thank you."

"From the delightful ambiance to the exquisite cuisine and impressive selection of wines, this place is a true gem. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience. The combination of exceptional atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding wines makes it a must-visit. 5 stars!"

"This is a lovely little place situated on the outskirts of Ventura. We have always driven by here and one day we decided to just walk right in, and we did not regret it. Service was friendly, drinks were great, and the food was excellent. They also have a nice little wine shop. The inside looks like the inside of a cave, so the atmosphere is a bit unique and rustic."

"Everything about this place will have you coming back! Salmon tacos. Eggplant parmesan. Tiramisu. 40 wines to taste or get a glass or bottle. Sit outside, in the cave, or in the barrel room. They have frequent events and friendly staff. Highly recommend if you're solo or with a group."
