Herzog Wine Cellars in Oxnard, CAOn the very eastern edge of Oxnard, in one of the most unlikely of places -- at least from my point of view -- is one of the very neatest restaurants at which I have had the pleasure of having dined: Tierra Sur. From the Herzog winery Website, I have lifted the following quote:

"... inside Herzog Wine Cellars new state-of-the-art winery, is Chef Todd Aarons’ second incarnation of Mediterranean influenced seasonal cuisine, this time utilizing California’s local produce. Chef Aarons is a veteran of Zuni Café in San Francisco and Savoy in Manhattan, and is now returning home to California to make Tierra Sur his new abode."

Believe me when I tell you that everything about Tierra Sur, from the appetizers to the the fine wines from the cellars of Herzog, is top notch. Lauren and I had stopped at the Herzog wine Cellars building a day earlier just to do a tasting and to check out the winery - a kosher winery by the way - and, after looking at the menu and speaking with some of the nicest people that I have yet encountered (especially at a winery), we decided that we would return for dinner... 

...Upon returning the next evening, we were seated at a four-top - one of only about a dozen tables in the whole place - that was covered with a starched and pristine white cloth; fresh cloth napkins were folded at each place, and a single flower and a candle graced the austere table.  A basket of warm bread was brought immediately, along with glasses of ice water.  The menu was a plethora of items that I would generally not expect to see... all of them a study in mouth-watering masterpieces from Executive Chef Todd Aarons...
