The Shores - Oxnard

My husband and I came in with some friends while we visited the beach for the day and the food was not good. He ordered the salmon with Mac n cheese and Brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were barely cooked (in his dish and mine), the Mac n cheese had no flavor, and the salmon was “subpar”. I ordered the arrabbiata pasta and it was cold, the brussels were not cooked well, and again no flavor. Yet some of our fries were so covered in pepper they were too much. I asked for a replacement meal and chose a hamburger, this was fine but I ordered it cooked medium and there was no pink and the meat was very charred. The drinks were also blah. Alcohol to syrup ratio was lacking. They could not make an old fashioned and said they could only make their spin “the filthy fashioned” which was not very good and full of ice. The waitress was very sweet and accommodating though and was great at her job.

The salmon special was very good. Tacos were good. Service was good overall a good experience prices were fair.Food: 5/5

Great atmosphere with good food, smaller menu for dinner but still good options. Check their website for live music lineup ?definitely recommendFood: 5/5

Came here ask to have a table. The server said no he had it reserved. So my family and I sat at other table clear available and the same guy said we cant sit here. He was rude. He refused to sever us because of your skin color.

The gin-based cocktail was pretty good. The martini-inspired one was just okay. The lobster roll was quite good as well as the shrimp pasta. Oh, and the dip with the feta chips was okay.In other words, food was reasonably priced and fine, while the drinks can be pricey and better than fine.The servers were friendly enough and unobtrusive. There was a bit of a delay with the entrees. Some of the items we wanted were not available.The place itself was unassuming and seems to attract a lot of the locals which is always a good sign.Good for lunch and maybe happy hour.
