Business Dinner In/Near Thousand Oaks?

Question

Hi, I'm entertaining a European client after business meetings in TO next week. I need suggestions for a nice, convivial place with upscale food.

My preferences run against chains and stripmall locations. And I'd prefer local cuisine over European, S. American, and ethnic. Quality seafood would be a real plus.

Thanks!

Answer

Mastro's steakhouse would be a very good place to take a business client in Thousand Oaks. It's the most upscale restaurant in the area. Very expensive, but worth it - especially on an expense account.

Answer

Mastros is the most "upscale" around the area and if you eat at a high top in the lounge/bar area (my favorite place) there's live music and it feels convivial. But if you want a little less "steak house" vibe I would say Tuscany, The Grill, Q Sushi, Lure (seafood), Paul Martin's. I'm surprised to hear that Pearl District was booked. I was there last night and it wasn't busy at all - on a Friday night.

Also, you may want to check out Meditarraneo and Stonehaus at the Westlake Inn. Dinner would be at Meditarraneo but Stonehaus is very convivial - for coffee and wine before or after. At the Four Seasons there is Onyx - an upscale sushi restaurant. There is also a big lounge/bar there good for drinks.

 I hope this helps. I'd still go with the bar area at Mastro's, but it's personal preference. I hope you have a great time wherever you end up :).

Answer

So sorry I did not respond earlier. Lot's of menu items, but my go to is the six hour braised beef, the pouched egg is great as most of the appetizers are. Really, all the menu items are very good and like you say wine list is great.
