Great ambiance. Terrific bar scene. The food is over priced and food preparation is what I would compare with my experiences at a Chili's Restaurant.
The service is truly the biggest draw back to this restarant. I've been to this eatery several times with the same outcome. The front door greeters seem confused even when you have reservations. Last night the place was empty and there was confusion on where we should be seated.
The service only gets worse with the waiters/waitresses. They don't know the menu and don't know the specials. You get one glass of water upon being seated; water refills are hard to come by because you can't find your server after they take your food order.
There were three people at my table and each of us received our food entrees at different times. It is strange watching others eat while your waiting for your entree. I waited longer than anyone at the table (about 10 minutes more than anyone) because the waitress told me the cook made a mistake with my piazza. The funny thing about this restaurant is there seems to be plenty of workers employeed. They just choose to ignor the customer.
I am done with this place. It is a convenient stop from where I live, but not worth the money spent on the average food quality and terrible service.

I couldn't disagree more with the previous reviews! We went to Safire for the first time after a movie and were very impressed with the high quality service and the lovely atmosphere. We only tried appetizers and pizza, but everything was high quality and fresh, and the prices were extremely reasonable. The entrees are expensive, but not outrageously so, and I am willing to pay a bit more for good service and a quiet, adult, relaxed atmosphere. Compared to some of the "upscale" local places where the hostesses are 17 years old and have no idea why they are even there and service that is harried and disorganized and unprofessional, Safire is an oasis of calm.

Not too expensive if you're located in Encino or West LA, but Camarillo?? Entree prices are high and service is lazy. Portions are small (4 scallops on the scallop entree) and most food was served tepid. The staff seemed distracted and unaware. Kind of cool atmosphere, but the food needs to be better if they want to command those prices.

Saw the March 1 review and had to relate our visit last summer. Thought our experience was due to a new place ironing out bugs. Guess the bugs aren't ironed out yet. We had very flaky service, and mediocre food. One can try too hard to be LA, and there are many fine-tasting offerings in Camarillo without paying these prices.
