Tierra Sur At Herzog Wine Cellars — Restaurant in Oxnard

Tierra Sur is a top-notch, all Kosher restaurant (non-dairy) located in the Herzog Wine Winery in Oxnard, CA. There’s just about nothing else like it in the area and one can see why it would also be a destination for those in Los Angeles seeking a fine dining and also certified Kosher experience.

They do have some vegetarian options, though glancing through the menu with that as my focus, it clearly wasn’t their main intention, and the menu does change seasonally – so some of what I had in July is not currently available at this December writing.

Of course, since you’re at a winery, you might as well start with wine. Our table shared the Camouflage Red Blend. This was one of the most satisfying glasses of wine I have ever had. I’m certainly not a wine expert, but I’ve had enough to at least know whether or not I like it…I liked this a lot. I’m rarely moved to buy wine as the result of having it at a restaurant. In this rare occasion, the Herzog Camouflage Red has entered my permanent list of “buy this wine.”

For my main, I had the Veggie Pizzetta. (a version with veal is what’s available on the menu as of this writing.) For a non-dairy pizza this wasn’t bad. Points for effort…but as firm believer in the power of cheese, this was not my favorite dish in the world.

I also had a side of their “Potato Fries.” I’m also a firm believer in the potential of french fries, and there was something about them putting the word “potato” right in the name that inspired me to order them. These were super super good. Perfectly cooked, perfectly thick, perfectly tasty fries that I didn’t want to share with anyone (err, though I did.)

A couple of odd choices for my meal, but this was brunch time and I tend to eat lighter earlier in the day, especially with the absence of brunch foods on the menu. Thy also offer house-made pastas, a pumpkin fritter is currently on the menu, sweet potato fries, and a Squash-Apple Soup round out the vegetalrian options I can see currently available.

So if I had to do it again (and I would), I’d come back for dinner and have the more hearty pasta dish and more tapas. All in all this was a VERY nice restaurant with impeccable service and the extra bonus of being able to walk up the stars and view the wine cellars was...

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...

Don’t do it , I don’t know where they get there name from but I swear unless you eat before you come you will leave starving and pissed, I don’t like doing this but worst place I’ve been to In My life, I came to California from Monica France to do a food tour and this was supposed to be the highlight but guess what, was the worst entry of them all, no food to order wether it was the bar or restaurant, and we had a reservation believe it or not , and all they had was bread and olive oil you can order which in every restaurant I’ve been to in my life is free but here you can order it and believe it or not the only thing you can order , if you are thinking about going there eat before you go you’ll thank me, if your looking for somewhere with good food and service fell free to reach out and I’ll be happy to tell you other places NOT THIS PLACE, there was a whole family next to us with little kids bitterly bagging us for food as there kids were starving and we happily gave them food as we didn’t want the place to look like oct 7th all over again , there was no one to talk to all the waiters were stuck up and sucked liked they had what to be stuck up about. I would post pics but you guys would throw up from seeing what...
