   Well this was a head-scratcher! We have had dinner here before and were eager to return as we have had very good experiences with Ladera. We dined on a Monday and our dinner had some delightful points and some disappointments. On the positive, food server was very friendly, efficient and attentive and our food came out quickly and nice and hot. His recommendations for the fish dish (sole), the portion size and the cocktail were spot on for my dinner. My husband loved the sliders and his pasta dish was humongous. Unfortunately, it took many minutes for anyone to acknowledge that we were waiting to be seated even though staff walked right in front of us. When the hostess arrived, she was harried, and distracted and ended up seating us in a weird side room that looks like it's for overflow dining. Its lighting is brash and uncomfortable for a dinner atmosphere. But it was quiet and comfortable. Neither the hostess or server made any attempt to acknowledge a birthday we were celebrating. I don't know if it is a "thing" now not to serve any little extra goodie (like a small scoop of ice cream, etc), but I thought if the notes in the reservation on OpenTable were read, perhaps someone might have made an effort. Oh well. So, overall very good food but spotty on the other. We'll certainly return sometime in the future as it may just be a blip during the holidays.

   Great service from the hostess to the end. Kyle was phenomenal and the food was incredible. Thank you for a wonderful experience to celebrate our anniversary. We’ll be back!

   Disappointed. Cowboy salad very little meat and over cooked. Asked how I wanted the meat cooked asked for medium rare. Cuts of meat are small and few for a salad of this size. I realize cooking small pieces of meat are difficult to control the temp so why ask how to have it cooked. Swordfish was bland highlight was the Rasberry Lemon cake. Service was slow we felt forgotten while couples around us had continued attention we were ignored for a long time. Has a good vibe but food and service were disappointing.

   We had a wonderful post-Christmas lunch. The food and service was great and we weren’t rushed along, so we were able to enjoy more time together!

   Really enjoyed our dinner at Ladera Grill last night. Kyle was our waiter, and he did an outstanding job. After taking our orders, he took the time to recite them back to us to make sure he got everything the way we wanted. This is seldomly done, and I really appreciated this attention to detail. He made sure drinks were refreshed, cleared plates promptly, and made sure he was doing his part to make our dinner at Ladera enjoyable. This was the best service we've received at Ladera Grill in recent memory. The kitchen was "on fire" as well, as everything was very well prepared and delicious. Perfect score for food, service and ambiance for our dinner last night!

   This was our first time trying this restaurant. It was a wonderful experience. Everything from the delicious food to the excellent service made our first visit the best experience possible. We started with the Manilla clams. There was an abundance of clams and the broth was creamy and full of flavor. Perfect for dipping some bread after. We had the Halibut and the rib eye and both were cooked to perfection. Shout out to our waiter Kevin who gave us wine recommendations and really great service. We will definitely come back again soon

   Very good food quality and venue. Despite meat focus many alternatives exist. Recommended for special occasions.

    My friend and I met here for our annual December get-together. Nice list of specials ( we shared the halibut) and a very complete standard menu, lots of good choices. We finished with banana coconut cake, warm with ice cream. Service was very good, food delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect with a touch of festive. Thanks, Ladera Grill, for an enjoyable evening.
