Some of the 805’s most creative—and most creatively plated—dishes come out of the kitchen at this family-owned restaurant in the Paseo Camarillo shopping center. Salads, pizzas, pastas, seafood, and steaks from the regular lunch and dinner menus are flavorful. But executive chef Ivan Medina really gets into action for the daily specials: A trip to the farmers’ market may inspire a pairing of wild striped bass and ramps served with their roots lightly fried for a bit of crunch or of braised pork cheek with honey-pickled burdock and roasted apples. Medina, a recent Culinary Institute of America graduate whose parents own the wine bar, is especially well versed in old-school preservation techniques, like making hoshigaki (dried persimmons). The wine list includes labels from California and all over the world. Many are available by the glass.
