Angie Alicia Hernandez Excellent tasty food, delicious wide range of beers and cocktails. Spacious seating, gorgeous patio and amazing customer service. I will most definitely be back.

Debra Knowles-Hill We had a wonderful brunch with great food and excellent service. Manny was attentive to our orders and even brought out a Free Ice Cream Sundae for my brothers Birthday celebration. Great experience!

Josie G Lovely place. The food is amazing! The owner is wonderful and attentive. It is an intimate setting. It is a slower paced place since it is smaller, so plan on taking your time here and enjoy your night!

Kenneth Martinson We loved this place! Delicious flavors that were on par with the best Cajun Restaurants in New Orleans. The atmosphere even reminded me of the New Orleans a bit too. I got the shrimp and grits andouille- the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked, and it went well with the soft scrambled eggs I chose with it. The Beignets I wasnt crazy about, but our main dishes more than made up for it. I look forward to trying the other dishes here!

Mike S First time I had a pastor burrito and it was awesome, full of flavor and the hot sauce is great, Second time I had the chilaquiles and red sauce and it was super good, the spice is awesome. Coffee is great also.

Dustin Coffey For a cozy place to eat out with children, or just get a filling meal, Stonefire Grill is great. The customer service has always been excellent, and the food is very satisfying for a family-style restaurant at their price point. Ive been here four times, and each time has been a hit. Please keep up the great work.

Angelique Suddock Always a fun time! Great food, service and music! The new owners (2025) have really improved the restaurant. The new chef created AMAZING food and there are always delicious food and dessert specials! The live bands are fun and there is now a jukebox.

Tanaya Ghosh Really enjoyed our visit here. The food was very good and the staff were kind and polite. We even got two complimentary appetizers and two complimentary desserts, which was a nice surprise. We tried the Punjabi biryani—it tasted really good and was full of flavor. The garlic chicken naan was awesome, soft and very tasty. Overall, great food and great service. Would definitely recommend this place!

Ken I thought the food is good. I took mine to go so but while I was waiting the staff was real nice. I took my food home to eat. It was good but I did add seasoning to the vegetables. Not a lot but enough to give it flavor. The steak was perfect and bake potato was so good. The chicken soup was on point.

Anastasia Alexander 6 of us dined here on Dec 24th. The Prix Fixe menu was excellent with a wide variety of choices. Food was also excellent but what stood out was the service. Clark, our server, was 5 Star all the way. Knowledgeable, courteous, professional, prompt, friendly and fun! For the meal we had plus a bottle of Justin, the price was quite reasonable. Highly recommend!

Emma Klein I’m so happy to see pinyon in Ventura! I’ve eaten at the Ojai one before and this one is a bit different but just as amazing. Food is delicious! Especially the cheese and jam share plate! Service was so great.

Heather Ellison Ventura’s best kept secret! We live in the neighborhood and love the food here. We get it for takeout often to eat at home with the kids and the food is always perfectly cooked and seasoned. I get the chicken limon and it is delicious, it tastes like a home cooked meal. My husband loves the lasagna, the calamari is so good & the kids love the pizza. So spasso is always a win for us!
