$$$$Price: Very Expensive • Kosher • Oxnard
I had the pleasure of dining at Tierra Sur, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The entire staff was nothing short of exemplary—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in ensuring each guest had a wonderful time. I began my meal with the Chicken Caesar Croquettes, which were a delightful fusion of creamy Caesar flavor inside a perfectly crisp shell—an absolute treat for the palate. The Lamb Bolognese, served with papardelle pasta: it was rich and flavorful, with tender lamb in a beautifully balanced sauce that paired wonderfully with the light pasta. I also had the Capellini bathed in a rich but light pistachio pesto,. Alongside this, I ordered the Sweet Potato Fries, which were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. For the grand finale, I indulged in the Salmon Tartare, a fresh and vibrant dish with a deliciously light citrusy note that complemented the richness of the salmon. To top off the night, I enjoyed the Caribbean Carrot Cake—a unique twist on a classic dessert that was moist, spiced just right, and absolutely decadent. Overall, Tierra Sur Wine Cellars exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of expertly crafted dishes, an inviting atmosphere, and flawless service made for a dining experience I won't soon forget. I highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a refined yet welcoming culinary adventure.
