    First time at Cliffdiver and it was very pleasant. There is a great variety of things on the menu. I had the surf and turf burrito, which was just OK. I think ordering tacos would have been a better option.

    We met up with friends and all enjoyed everything we ordered: cocktails to start, ceviche and octopus (cooked perfectly). Several of us ordered the lobster tacos which were delicious - generous portions and tasty flavors. Service was excellent as well and the ambiance was great. Only - very minor - note for improvement would be to have a hostess stand at the back entrance - it took a few minutes to figure out who to talk to and check in for our reservation. But once we did we really had a great experience. We will be back soon!

    We enjoyed our visit to Cliffdiver. The Lobster Enchiladas were very good as was the service. The sauce on the enchiladas was quite bland and could have used more spice. I would also suggest that the menu include a dinner salad or a small mixed green salad as a side dish. We are happy to see a new restaurant in Thousand Oaks that seems successful.

    After getting very little attention from our server the entire night, we finally got his attention to order another round of drinks after our dinner plates were cleared. At this time, 65 minutes into our reservation, we were told they needed our table.

    A cozy and authentic looking restaurant, with good food, attentive service, and a lounge type ambience. This location was several other restaurants in the past - Italian, Himalayan, Indian, and now Mexican. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for casual dining.
