Hozy's Grill: Reviews & Ratings

We are semi-frequent visitors to our favorite upscale restaurant in Ventura County. In fact, we have introduced in excess of 50 relatives and friends to their facility. Weekly, we await the posting of their dinner menu on Wednesday afternoons to see what’s on the current week’s menu. This week, they presented a first, at least for us, poached Alaskan halibut. I haven’t tasted a poached fish in a very long time, but remembered immensely enjoying it in my prior life. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED with the presentation at Hozy’s. It was simply terrific. That’s just another reason to visit this almost hidden gem in Santa Paula.

Hozy's has been for years one of the area's best secrets around. Located hidden away in an industrial area inside of ARP (who are renowned worldwide for high performance hardware in the car world) they pack quite a culinary punch well above their weight class. Everything is truly exceptional, I really like their burgers but they have also amazing salads. And probably one of the best pizzas around when it is on the menu. They usually have some great specials on top of their regular menu. Also really great is their fried chicken and their fish and chips. I usually come there for lunch which is already great but they take it to a whole other level for dinner. I had some fantastic salmon there, really exquisite, just melting in your mouth. And the tarte tatin for desert (French caramelized apple pie) was just unbelievable. The staff also is always very friendly and there are some neat technical decorations like camshafts or dragrace distributor setups around. The only caveat is that it is by now a fairly well known secret and their space is on the small side, so I would recommend a reservation for dinner otherwise there might be a wait. There is parking but that also fills up especially during normal work hours (it is inside a regular busy factory after all) but you can usually find some street parking. But definitely a total must if you are in the area, very highly recommended.

A hidden gem in Santa Paula. The Ahi roll and Dory filet were delicious. Nice ambience, able to have conversation with ease. The service was great. Elizabeth was kind and took great care to ensure we had a lovely dining experience
