The SideCar Restaurant Restaurant Review

Nostalgia meets modernism at this longstanding restaurant, which has been serving food in its present location on and off since 1933. Get your history in the front room, a converted Pullman train car, and your trends at the bar, with its bevy of fruit-infused martinis. Chef Tim Kilcoyne celebrates the farmers of Ventura County in his ever-changing menus. You’ll see heirloom tomatoes and baby...

Step back in time on this 1910 train and let yourself be spoiled by the attentive service and the menu's delicious international tastes.

I've driven by this restaurant countless times and always told myself I would bring my wife there someday. Finally on Mother's Day I made reservations and had an excellent experience. I wish I would have come here sooner, it is defenitly going to be a place we eat at more often.

Goodbye to a local gem

We have loved the Sidecar since moving to Ventura 10 years ago. The food is excellent (possibly the best gourmet burger on the planet) and the ambience reflects the retro 60s look we love so much. We love you Sidecar, and we will miss you.

Thanks!

The owner/chef always took pride in his restaurant and the food he served. Now it's closing. Nothing more to say.
