Cut 360 Steakhouse and Churrascaria in Westlake Village closed its doors at the end of December. It had operated just shy of 2 years, having opened in March 2016. Before Cut 360 this was the home of The Napa Tavern. What's next? We shall see.

Jennifer Winters Weak pointed out that Super Tommy's at 3085 E. T.O. Blvd in Thousand Oaks is closed (it actually closed about a month ago). This eatery, tucked in behind Val Surf off across from where Hampshire Road intersects T.O. Boulevard, has operated since 1996.
In an informal survey on the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook Page, we polled viewers about their experience at Super Tommy's. 86% of respondents had indeed heard of Super Tommy's, while 14% had not. Super Tommy's will be missed for many things, but breakfast burritos were mentioned the most.
Drove by Julian's Restaurant & Bar in Old Town Camarillo last night, a Saturday night, and there was no one there. Julian's announced on its Facebook page on November 28th that it had closed its doors.
Julian's opened in May of this year in the historic J.F. Lewis & Sons - 1916 building, which was previously occupied by JJ Brewsky's, The French Bulldog and the Old Town Tavern.
What's next for this historic location? Let's stay tuned.
Less than a few weeks ago, Yomama Sushi at 140 W. Hillcrest Drive, #118 in Thousand Oaks (in the Lincoln Oaks Plaza) became Love Sushi.
There are other Love Sushi locations in Simi Valley, Moorpark
The Ventura County Star noted the other day that Safire American Bistro in Camarillo is closed as an eviction notice dated October 25th is taped to the front door. Safire originally opened in 2007.
Slate Bistro & Craft Bar opened at the former Safire in early December.
Sayka Sushi, located next to Rustico at 1125 Lindero Canyon Road (at Kanan), Suite A1-B in Westlake Village, closed sometime in the summer of 2017. That’s all I got on this one.
Sayka. What does that mean? It reminds me of Sanka, an instant, decaffeinated coffee brand now owned by Kraft Foods, The 1941 Laurel and Hardy comedy Great Guns includes a scene in which Stan Laurel, in an Army mess hall line, is handed a cup of coffee. He asks "Sanka?", and the mess attendant replies, "You're welcome!" This has nothing to do with Sayka of course but I do love Laurel and Hardy.
Urban Pizza, one of the many newer "design your own" pizza places* that have opened in the Conejo Valley in recent years, has closed its doors. This local eatery near Trader Joe's in the North Ranch Mall originally opened in April 2015. The Simi Valley location has also closed its doors.
* Lot and lots of new pizza places in recent years...Pieology, MOD Pizza, PizzaRev, Pitfire Pizza, Blaze Pizza. Battle of the make your own pizzas!
Looking quite empty today in this former Dickey's BBQ Pit location in WLV.
Dickey's BBQ Pit locations in Westlake Village and Simi Valley have closed their doors, leaving us with just one Ventura County location - the original one in Ventura. The Westlake Village location originally opened in July 2015. The Simi Valley location originally opened in January 2014.
