I was super amazed at what a great little find this place is. Loved it! Great atmosphere and the food was on the NEXT LEVEL! I never knew I loved Brussels sprouts this much. I’ll be back soon.

We went for the four course meal on Valentine’s Day. Food was delicious, dessert even better! We’ll be going back to try food from the regular menu.

I was here for a company holiday party and will definitely visit again for when I'm in the Thousand Oaks area. Wonderful service and delicious nibbles and drinks (especially the drinks - very well made). I ended up getting some coconut shrimp to-go.. so yummy. I look forward to a happy hour here. Thank you for the wonderful service and food/drinks!

Went there for happy hour yesterday and had the cheeseburger for $16. It was delicious. Met some new friends there. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Overall great experience! Definitely will be back for some juicy steaks.

Best birthday dinner ever! Our server, Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I’ve never had Beef Wellington before, it was so delicious! We will be coming back here for sure many times over.

The atmosphere and service were fabulous! I ordered the cioppino and was not impressed, especially for the price. Although, my husband's beef Wellington was tasty. The beef dishes definitely outshined the seafood (we also had the scallops for an appetizer) that evening.

We were in town for a wedding and this was right outside our hotel. Service was fantastic. We got the grilled artichoke as starter and it was on point. The Mrs got the filet and I had the 16 Oz ribeye. Everything was prepared as ordered and was tasty. Split the cheesecake for dessert and we could tell straight away it was made in house. Totally appreciated the old school topping on the cheesecake, you just don’t see it made that way anymore. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I were actually heading to a different restaurant in Camarillo, searching for a great steak but when we arrived they were closed. We looked on a Facebook group, which was popular for local eats and came across a steak house in Newbury Park called Holdrens. We Decided to give it a shot. Upon our arrival, we found the place to be cozy, not too dark, gave off a NY restaurant vibe and was packed! I ordered the filet mignon dinner, which came with an amazing salad and baked potato. Now for the best part…. My steak was cooked To perfection(medium rare) and had a slightly charred exterior. It was truly a quality peice of meat that had me feeling satisfied afterwards. The service was excellent and this new found Gem is going to be a regular spot for us. I highly recommend anyone looking for a good Steak dinner to come here!
