Reviews for Market Broiler Riverside in Simi Valley, CA

First time here, so here's the full review: ambiance was above average but not exceptional, detected a minor musty smell,... slightly unpleasant but not strong enough to set the tone of a bad review. Seating was fine, overall quick look cleanliness wasaverage. Due to a bar the noise level was similar to a sports bar versus fine dining, but this matched the town's patronsdemeanor. Initial greet of staff was normal, and lacking excitement and energy. Waitress was genuinely kind and friendly butone could tell they had her handling too many tables. Observed other staff that had ample amount of stand around time that couldbeen put to use by a manager who should have observed this, but couldn't identify any manager or employee who looked like theywere overseeing the operations, perhaps one of the ones standing around?idk. Found the menu to be somewhat limited with choices.Wait time on the food was okay, maybe slightly slow. Salad was poorly assembled and contained too many croutons and hard lettucecores that shouldn't have been in the salad, as the salad lacked leafy greens. The fish Swordfish was fine, Salmon wasovercooked and dry, looked like maybe the grille should have been hotter and this would have put a better searing on the fishversus a longer grilling creating the dry salmon I received. Asparagus was okay, but also had that overcooked grilling. Spinach(Garlic) was ok, appeared fresh versus canned, just slightly too much garlic. Pricing was slightly higher than what theyrepresent. My combined review sets this a 3 star out of 5, though attention by management and the team could easily move them upon reviews. Read more

My daughter took me here for a late Father's Day present. It is a lovely restaurant without standing food in the service is top... notch. I really enjoyed the fact that people with food restrictions like me have multiple choices here that are healthy. Inoticed a lot of families senior citizens and couples here. Is definitely geared toward satisfying the customer. Our waiter wasfantastic, and again the food was outstanding and fresh Read more

I can’t make any complaints about the food. The service…that’s another story. It took at least ten minutes for our server... to come to the table. She brought three small glasses of water and said she’d be back with a fourth. She took a drink order ofthree ice teas and our food order, on two checks. We didn’t wait long for the first of our food to come to the table, broughtby a manager, but the rest came piecemeal. An ordered artichoke was delivered after all of our other food was alreadyconsumed…about 45 minutes late. The harried server who took our order never returned with the water or the teas. We askedthree times before someone brought them to the table. To get refills, we had to get up to find the server. When we asked for ourchecks, the server had everything on one bill. We reminder her that we asked for two checks. She mumbled something about she hasit all sorted out in her head and walked away. Upon returning with two, everything was mixed up. It took two more tries and atalk with the manager to get them correct. I know restaurants have off nights but this was ridiculous. This restaurant obviouslyneeds more help. Read more

Excellent fresh seafood. I truly enjoyed their oysters in the half shell and salmon. Their butter cake is delicious ????

Great service, food is good too. Sides are a good portion. We had a table of 11, and our servers were really nice and very... accommodating. Only thing we noticed was all our steaks were well done when we asked for medium and medium rare, but they didn'ttaste all dried out, very flavorful. Read more

We took a family trip to the Reagan Library and wanted to have lunch nearby. I saw good reviews for the MB Grill. It’s Market... Broiler, a chain restaurant. It’s a nice looking place with a very nice staff. The food is unremarkable. They feature seafoodbut it’s not fresh but frozen so it’s rubbery and lacks flavor. The clam chowder is commercially made. It would tasted thesame at Chilis, Red Robin, Outback, etc. The Jambalaya lacked spice and flavor. Lunch for three was $70.00 with no drinks, nodessert. Actually, for a trip to the Reagan Presidential Library, it was the perfect place for lunch. Conservative and bland. Read more
