Restaurant Review
Just a girl who loves to eat. Who turned into a mom. Who loves to eat and wants to share the goodness with everyone!
Hatch Cafe & Market
We are hooked!
This cute little cafe not only has some of the best food in the CV but the Market area is amazing, the aprons may just be our favorite piece! Well, the chocolate too of course!
If you have a birthday coming up, anniversary, or a special occasion check out the personalized gift boxes!
But let’s talk food...
The Fried Chicken Sandwhich just may be the best in the entire Valley! The ponzu sauce and cucumber sandwich may make you want to order two!
Then they have a tuna that is to die for! The balsamic gives it an extra kick!
Oh, and our FAVORITE item
is the Avocado Toast, the radishes though! You may find us there weekly sitting on the big comfy chair!

Avoholic
If you follow our me over on my IG private account, MOMMAonFIRE, you know I eat avocado toast daily. Every. Single. Day.
I’m addicte, and avoholic. My favorite way to make it at home is, Smashed Avocado seasoned with salt, crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds, balsamic glaze, everything bagel seasoning, balsamic glaze and goat cheese.
It’s has all the flavors I need, sweet, salty, creamy and tangy. Put it on some buttery brioche bread and you’re set.
But I do love all different kinds & when I’m not making it, its tastes better because I don’t have to do the dishes!
Here is some of our favorite places to pop in for some toast!

Taverna Tony
Step out of the Conejo Valley & into this lively Greek Restaurant that makes you feel like you stepped into the Mediterranean.
With live Greek music, belly dancers and a lively crowd Taverna Tony’s feeds your belly and soul!
Don’t skip:
The Flaming Cheese & Grilled Calamari! We may have ordered two flaming cheeses, it’s just so good!
For Dinner:
The Filet is cooked perfectly and served up with crispy fries!
The Chilean Sea Bass will leave you satisfied with so much flavor!
Dessert:
Get it all!
The Baklava is always a good choice, but the Greek Yogurt may be our favorite, and we didn’t expect that!
Taverna Tony is such a fun restaurant for a date night or dinner with friends! The menu has something for everyone with lots of vegetarian options!

Slate Bistro & Craft Bar
A Hidden Gem! Don’t pass up Slate if you get the chance to have dinner at this delish restaurant, DO IT!
Just off the 101 at Pleasant Valley, this stylish restaurant has something to make everyone’s taste buds “zing!”
Not only did we love the food, but the turquoise booths were super comfy! The soft colors and low lights were perfect for a date night!
Towards the back of the hotel there is a lovely bar area with some bench seating! It would be perfect for a birthday cocktail party!
What we had:
Drink: Blacker the Berry
flor de cana rum, blackberries, lemongrass syrup, lime, egg white
—-yum! This was SO good! The egg white on top definitely added some interested foam!
The Baked Brie
soft-ripened and creamy cheese, apricot compote, brûlée crisp, rosemary, fresh bread
—- I’m a sucker for Brie! The creamy mixed with the apricot! Holy goodness! I’ll take one for me!!
Monkey Bread
Rosemary Monkey Bread with Marinara Sauce
—- This item is seasonal and changes! I loved this one, the marinara was SO good!
California Pizza
prosciutto, charred pineapple, fresh jalapeno
Don’t just skim past the pizzas, they are worth it. The prosciutto in this one was my favorite!
Grilled filet mignon 8oz
blue cheese mornay sauce, cabernet demi, mashed potato, roasted brussels and bacon
—-all of it! The sauces, the steak, the Brussels Sprouts! This one is for sure on my top 5 in Ventura County! We shared this meal and added a Lobster Tail. It was plenty for us!
Dessert!
I always save room for dessert!
Calling all my GF friends, this ones for you!
MEXICAN MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE cinnamon ice cream, churros crumble
——seriously, give me a bowl of those churro crumbles! They are like little crumbles of heaven!

Tabu Shabu
Tabu Shabu is one of our FAVORITE fancy dinners! The food is always SO fresh, I feel like I'm eating healthy but a cheat meal at the same time! They have an adorable patio AND its great for a "special" night at home too! Our kids arent quite old enough to sit on the patio and eat this one so we bring it home for a special dinner at home.
