Cafe Zack is a great place. The food is excellent, the decor is just right. I strongly recommend the Seafood Curry. The owner is on site, and he definitely cares about customer service. The service is very attentive but not intrusive. I will be back!

We are taking a 2 week tour down the coast of CA from SF and on up thru the deserts to Yosemite. After 1 week on the road we were thrilled to find this little "cafe" in Ventura after reading the Trip Advisor reviews. It was about a 4 block walk from our hotel in probably not the most upscale...

The food was EXCELLENT!!! Probably the best in Ventura... I had the Lobster with Sweet Corn as an appetizer which was very good, different tasty than you expect but very good! Then I had the Filet Mignon with porcini mushroom sauce and was excellent, my husband had the scallops (special of the day) and they were fabulous!!! But the best... More

I really liked the atmosphere and everyone ordered something different and we all agreed the food was perfect. Not overdone, simple good food, great prices. A few blocks from old part of town.

Driving up to this place you would never expect the wonderfulness that is inside. We used trip advisor on our honeymoon road trip through California. Ventura was our first stop. This little cafe has some of the best food. It is very small and unassuming it just looks like a regular house from the street. The staff is so friendly... More

Just kidding of course. Something this good does not stay secret for long. One of the best fine experiences in Ventura. Excellent selection of menu choices. I have had the Seabass, Duck breast and Filet Mignon and all have been excellent. The wait staff are very attentive and the owner helps to make the experience feel as though you are... More

This restaurant is small and cozy with an elegant yet casual feel. Because it is small, you do not feel like you are one in a crowd. It is close to downtown Ventura. The menu had a nice variety so everyone should find something to their liking. The food was very good and the wine list had several good selections... More

My fiance George and I happened upon Cafe Zack while vacationing in Ventura. From the outside it seemed like a charming little local place. And it was that and more. This family owned restaurant is a real gem. I had a wonderful lunch of butternut squash in herb butter sauce and George ordered the sea bass. Both were excellent and... More

Outstanding dining experience from Hector and his excellent staff. Very small dining room (@ 8 tables in main room, more on porch) so reservations highly recommended. Nice selection of starters, salads, and entrees. Steaks are terrific and especially enjoyed porcini mushroom sauce. Roasted vegetables and potatoes are delicious. I hope to return soon and try some of the lamb, duck,... More
