We sat in the patio area which was nice with heaters, less noisy than inside. The calamari is always a hit at Slate, and their cocktails are the best!! Had their espresso martini, recommended by our waitress Terri, and it was delicious! All the food was memorable, including sushi rolls!! Terri and Mike were just fabulous, very attentive, kind and made our dining quite pleasurable!!! Slate is a great choice in Camarillo, CA!

Our second experience was equally as good as the first. Service is offered with the best smiles in Ventura County!!! The Chef turns out an excellent sushi roll. The prime rib special is a well prepared, flavorful beef. Kudos to the perfect green beans! We find this worth the drive up the freeway.

Been to this place 3 times, twice for dinner and once for buffet. I would recommend staying away from the buffet. The dinner though has always been good. The servers are nice but sometimes don't stop by frequently enough. Last dinner we had finished our appetizers before the server had come back to take our dinner order.

Dined here for the first time. Great food, wine list and service. Ambiance could be better. Restaurant has concrete floors and no white table cloths. For the food prices, the ambiance was under par. Dinner for 4 was $450 including tip, granted everyone had fillet mignon. Overall, I recommend this place for a good casual dining.

Ehh.. is how I feel about the whole experience. The waitress was good but was serving way too many tables for her to be a good host for ours. We order two medium rare filet minions with loaded mashed potatoes and two drinks. The drinks were bad n bougie (if you like pomegranate juice get this, it all you taste), jack and coke (tastes like only coke), and a Moscow mule (once you take the mint off the top it just taste like sprite). Only one steak was cooked medium rare, the other was rare and they’re very plain without the sauce. The peppercorn sauce is kinda good, taste like gravy. But if I pay that much for a steak it should taste good by itself. Everything was pretty plain. I won’t be going back.

I went there for my Boyfriend’s Birthday and we had cocktails at HH very good. Then we had dinner, we ordered Surf n Turf, Tomahawk Steak it was delicious and broiled Lobster Tails they were unfortunately over cooked so needed to send back. That’s why the rating on food was not better for food. Service was good and Ambiance was great.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Our server, Terry, was so gracious. The sushi appetizer delicious. The prime rib was served to order, perfect portion, and flavorful. The green beans incredible, cooked perfectly. Our first visit here certainly just the start of many to come. Definitely a great spot to add on the rotation.

This was my first visit to Slate. I had been to the predecessor and not been too impressed but this time was very good. I had the special sushi plate which was excellent. My wife had Halibut which was a little over done but she enjoyed it. Ambience was very good out on the patio and noise level was good. All in all I enjoyed our evening out and will definitely go again.
