Thank you so much for yesterday's party. It could not have been more perfect. You have many new admirers and future patrons. The service was exceptional. I don't know how the servers managed it but it was 5 star all the way. If our friends could have licked their plates, they would have. I can't thank you, your chefs and servers enough for making our party the best!

Hi Michelle – Just wanted to thank you so much for the lovely buffet you arranged for us on Tuesday, July 12. I know you went out of your way to provide it for us since you no longer have the buffet on Tuesdays, and I so appreciate it! The food was as always just delicious – every dish totally perfect!

My friends and I truly enjoyed getting together and your tasty food made it all the more special! Thank you so very much!!!

Warmly,

Chris Dvorak

Dear Michelle,
    With the Holidays and work, it's been really crazy!!! I just wanted to say thank you very much for putting on such a fabulous dinner and party for us. Everything was perfect from food to decor to music! We all had a great time! They said it was the best party we ever had!  Those who were not able to make got to enjoy your food because unbeknownst to me, Dr. Oster bought a tray of sausage lasagne and dropped it off for the staff in ICU/CCU. They all raved about it!! Thanks  and hope that we can do business again with you!!! Our family will be there again and again! Happy Holidays and God Bless!

Surprising opportunity to dine in style without dressing up or motoring a great distance.Extremely pleasing decor with a hint of color to mute the formal nature of the restored mansion in which the establishment resides. Service was way, way above average. The chef has made interesting menu choices with superb execution. If you are anywhere nearby, this is BIG for Ventura County

Salinas, CA Five out of Five Stars

We've eaten here three times.  The food is consistently good - homemade taste and quality ingredients.  The atmosphere is very elegant.  We have found it moderately priced for the value.
I love the bruschetta

This little restaurant is located in a craftsman style home that was moved to Heritage Square in Oxnard.  The food is truly wonderful.  It is a little bit Tuscan style along with the usual Italian fare.
The LDV bar is very cozy with a fireplace and live entertainment.
One of the best hidden gems in Ventura county.

My friends and I all had such a great time for my birthday. I want to thank Michelle for that. We even got up there to sing! (a group effort.) The LDV Lounge is fantastic; the atmosphere, the employees, it was all what I had hoped it would be. Thank you again, and a special thanks to Jose, the bartender. He really took care of our drinks and made sure everything was good. I will be back! :D

Dear Michelle,
I have to tell you, Allen and I came in last night to eat dinner at your restaurant and well WoW!!!! We absolutely LOVED it.  It was the best meal we've had at a restuarant in a very long time.  We were so impressed.  We left even more excited about our reception. And we will definitely be back many times before our wedding. :)  So thank you for the great experience and service.  Although we had to celebrate Valentine's Day a day late, it was so worth it! Sincerely, Michelle Sankman

Michelle,
We have just returned from a WONDERFUL two days in Oxnard and my birthday celebration was THE BEST! I can't thank you and your staff enough for such a great evening. I just wish you and I had taken a picture together. THe dinner was superb and Jerry and Laura and the others were wonderful to  put up with so much. Our group loved everything and thought the restaurant was so good.
I hope the New Years Eve group enjoys themselves as much as we did because I coudn't have asked for a better birthday bash ~and it was quite a party! Surely one to remember.
Thanks again for all of the hard work and for making us all feel like family.
Fondly,
Holly ~Quartz Hill, Ca.
