Tierra Sur At Herzog Wine Cellars, Oxnard CA

Very fancy restaurant, the food is really expensive, a bit too much for what you get.
The restaurant is located in the middle of an industrial site which no taxi drivers knew about.
There is no sign for the entrance or warm welcoming. You just enter and no one is there to welcome you. Looks a bit like a secret place/hideout.
The waiters were really helpful and smiling (a bit too much).
The beef steaks were good but super expensive.
The restaurant would need to revisit their layout a bit to bring a more romantic atmosphere that could match their price tag.
The lava cake wasn't a lava cake, maybe a chocolate moelleux.
The meal prices are 30% too expensive.
Wines and drinks are affordable though.
There is a mandatory 22% service charge.
A bit disappointed overall.

Everything was flawless. The menu wasn't extensive, but everything was delicious. The service was outstanding as well.

Heavenly food! Artistic presentation and awesome service! A pity we didn't go for dinner where the menu is more extensive.

One of the greatest meals I’ve had.
The salmon dish is a must have.
Very expensive

Visited August 2023. Glad we came. Interesting factory tour. Delicious food and drinks. Impeccable service. Very nice ambience.

Absolutely delish food, wonderful service. Definitely deserves the title “best kosher restaurant in the world”. Their Tierra Sur burger is a must-try. Touring the winery was super cool as well.

Traveling around the world and eating in many amazing restaurants rarely has me as surprised by how good Tierra Sur is! As a restaurant in a uncommon place for kosher restaurants it stands out in more than just exclusivity. From the 5 star service to the Exquisite taste, everything was impeccable. Although the pictures attached are quite amazing, they do not do it justice of what it feels like to experience it in person. I cannot wait for my next trip back to Oxnard!

The service was bad, first courses were good, the main courses came out at long intervals so that each diner ate the main course and the rest sat and waited, one main course did not arrive, the waiter forgot to take it out, so we gave up on it, the experience was really unpleasant

Delicious food and great atmosphere! We went for an all you can eat Mother’s Day buffet, which was a lot of fun! The service was excellent and everyone tried to make the day special!

Went just to try this place as it was serving branch, the atmosphere and service were up to the price we were charged for the branch however be aware that service charge of 22% is included in the check and then taxes charged on top of your meal, drink, and tip. Manager was reasonbly nice but insisted that this is the state law to charge tax on tap of your tip which you cannot change either. If you are ready to spend almost double price on the meal (tiny variety), nice atmosphere and good service this is the place to go. Wine selection is great, and reasonbly priced.

The service was incredible we had to catch a flight and the staff knew it, we were served quickly with the utmost professionalism. The food was beyond amazing.
It’s worth a trip to California just for this.

Highly recommend

Literally one of the best meals I've had. I ordered a $35 glass of whiskey. And it was worth it. The American ribeye steak was perfect and the duck was amazing. Even the bread was the best I've ever had.

Excellent all Kosher high-end restaurant and winery. Clean, top servers, beautiful atmosphere. Very expensive.

Hubby and I had the most phenomenal experience last night, I had to share!
We started with apps and a wine flight at the tasting bar where Kristen treated us like gold and remembered my husbands name (!), despite us not having been there in quite a while. The Fish and chips was outstanding, and perfectly crunchy.

We then moved to the MDR, and shared the Mushroom Bisque and the duck special, both of which were delicious, and the duck in particular. Since we were celebrating my husbands birthday, we splurged and also shared the Bison Ribeye. WOW. While it was cooked beyond our requested medium rare, it was one of the best steaks we've had in a kosher restaurant in many years.
Knowing we were there for a celebration, they took extra care of us with delicious desserts, too.

We were thrilled to learn there is both a new menu and a new Culinary team, which ON FIRE, and our meal was truly far more delicious than we've had there in a long while. The service impeccable, as it generally is.
The only constructive feedback I have is, the MDR is dated and in need of a face-lift. With that done well, Tierra Sur rivals any hip restaurant in LA!

Once again I went to the restaurant at the Herzog winery. I really tried to like it, it’s supposed to be one of the most gourmet and upscale kosher eateries in the nation, certainly in California
I live nearby less than an hour. And have had the occasion to go there periodically

My experiences have not been satisfactory
so I wanted again to prove myself wrong and was looking forward to that

This time it was a family member who made an event inviting the entire family. We were given a choice of ribeye steak, chicken or fish
In addition there was a salad and dessert
And there was a selection. Of red and white wines

I’m sure the sponsor paid a lot of money per person for this party

My wife and i chose the steak and my sister who sat next to me chiae the chicken
Both mine and my wife’s steak were barely edible certainly not tasty at all. Had I been the one paying I would’ve returned it immediately but I didn’t want to embarrass the host
I’m addition the steak came with only the following on the side a tablespoon of spinach.
My sister didn’t finish her chicken So I asked her for a piece and it was edible but bland and that’s it.it was better than the steak but….

Dessert was a choice of
Churros or flourless chocolate cake. I chose the churros and they arrived too overdone and almost burnt

Sorry to say the eating experience was dismal and once again I walked away shaking my head as to why people rave about this place. I avoid it.

The portions are not generous. The prices high. The food tastes bland at best and it simply doesn’t measure up to any level of what I would call a good restaurant
The wine however was good but I didn’t come for the wine

Nice pre fixed menu. Food tasted delicious and the wine pairing is a must. I end up taking a bottle.

In a restaurant that only has 10 items on the menu, I find it unprofessional that they have run out of two of the menu items by 7: 00PM. I also find it ridiculous that the kitchen will make certain items for the “tasting room” but will not allow those items to be served at dinner (which is the same time), even though several of the items on the menu are unavailable.

With regards to our backup options that we did order, the food was pretty good but underwhelming. The service was pretty slow as well.

Well worth the drive if you live in LA. Shout out to John for being there for all his customers
