Listen in to Sean's interview to find out more about what makes Brett's designs so unique to the area...

OCTOBER 2019 - In conversation with Charnell Smith

As a restaurant expert with over 43 years of experience, and as the Managing Partner at Aloha Steakhouse, Charnell is known as the restaurant "mom" and she loves to champion young people at their first jobs, as well as making every customer feel appreciated and welcome. As Ventura's only beachfront restaurant, Aloha Steakhouse has been voted the best steakhouse, best happy hour, and most romantic dinging spot since August of 2003. With their handout steaks and fresh seafood and a warm, inviting atmosphere - along with an ocean view from every table - Aloha Steakhouse is the perfect spot to watch some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world over the backdrop of the Channel Islands. With an expansive menu, contemporary lunch and dinner favorites, plus island specialties and decadent desserts, along with a spacious full-service bar and outdoor patio, Aloha is a definite local favorite. Be sure to check out Sean's interview with Charnell to learn some more information about the history of this iconic restaurant, as well as some delicious popular (and hidden!) menu items.
