"Cigale is one of those neighborhood gems that keeps you coming back. Have been here several times with my husband and have always found the food and service to be outstanding. what could be bad, dinner starts off with complimentary pom frites and a basket of warm foccacia type bread. There is something for everyone on the menu which includes, chicken, fish and beef dishes. The Paella, is absolutely delicious, loaded with seafood and definitely big enough to share. Beef bourguignon is fork tender and loaded with flavor. The chefs french influences shine through in every dish. A somewhat limited wine list so feel free to bring your own as corkage is only $10. Make sure you leave room for their amazing chocolate windmill cake."

"I took my wife and children to Cigale to celebrate Mother's Day. The food and service could not possibly have been any better. My only gripe...which is a minor one is that this fantastic restaurant is located in a strip mall next to a Subway! Other than that, Cigale is one of those places you simply need to try..."

"My daughter, her husband, and I took my wife to Cigale to celebrate Mother's Day. We received a friendly greeting upon arrival, we were seated promptly, and our waitress appeared shortly to take our drink order. Free champaign-type drinks for the moms, with separate drink orders for dads. The moms enjoyed their drinks and the dads theirs. My Gibson was excellent. We all ordered different entrees which were well-prepared and presented, and of very good quality. Overall, a first-rate dining experience at a good price for what you receive in exchange. Finally, although the place was a bit noisy, it was much less so than most of the upscale restaurants I've visited in the area. This was my first visit, but I expect to return many times."

"Blown away at finding such a gem in the middle of a bedroom community.
Worth the drive from anywhere in the LA and Ventura County.
Just hope they don't start tweaking and changing a single think.....and get away from what they have created.

"A french bistro that can't make fish? The menu was very limited with mostly undesirable choices, which, other than an abundance of mussel choices, offered only two fish dishes -- salmon with dried fruit & rice and sturgeon with lentils -- both of which were dreadful. We fish eaters ordered the sturgeon ($30), which was smothered (disguised) in a horrible tomato sauce which was badly paired with awful lentils, and both the salmon and accompanying were dry and tasteless. I can't believe the chef claims to be french. The place was highly overpriced and the ambiance a turnoff - given that the focal point of this supposed French Bistro is a 60 foot television set. Yuk!"

"This is a great local restaurant. Sometimes not very busy, but I don't know why. We have been to Cigale several times, and it is always very good and the service is terrific. On this particular occasion, I requested a special dessert for my son's birthday, which they accommodated graciously and deliciously."

"We love this restaurant. We have moved away, and at least 4 times a year when we are visiting the area where Cigale is, we will be eating there. It is just the best, most perfect restaurant you could hope for. They have added a couple of outdoor settings, with upscale furniture lounge style, and a nice group exterior spot . This place rocks. Don't miss it."

"As always, my dining experience at Cigale was absolutely seamless. A cheery greeting; delightful, prompt and helpful service from waitress to support staff (they are far too polished to be called "busboys"), and the food... Denys created a Halibut with Lobster Sauce that was flavorful, moist, done to perfection, complemented by a fluffy vegetable couscous. Add wine, spinach salad and an indulgent dessert (shared with a friend), flourless chocolate cake. Loved every minute. We arrived at 6pm and left at 10!
I recommend Cigale for any occasion, romantic or convivial. You really must go, and explore the menu!

"It is, in our opinion, difficult to find a good French restaurant outside of major cities. We were luck to find this "Gem". We had the beet salad and the onion soup which were both delicious. We shared the beef bourgione and the duck entrees. I recommend the beef, which had a certain special ingredient that the chef confirmed was part of the recipe. The duck was a bit too dry for my taste, but the l'orange sauce was very good. Both portions were generous. I appreciate that the chef does all the cooking and it showed in his food and presentation. We will definitely return when we are back in the Thousand Oaks area."

"Our first visit to Cigale which was recommended by friends was a great experience. We opted for their special 5-course shared special (Tues-Thurs) It gives you the option of one item from their menu of appetizer, salad, soup, entree, dessert which is split between two for $62. What a perfect way to try their food and the split portions were very generous. The corque monsiour was wonderful, the salad (goat cheese/spinach) had a delicate, tasty dressing, the french soup was delicious. We opted for the BOEUF BOURGUIGNON entree that came with mashed potatoes and two hearty sized pieces of beef each - tasty but a tad too salty. For dessert we enjoyed crepes suzette.
We now know why this is a neighborhood gem

"Absolutely superb cuisine. Attentive but unobtrusive service. Quiet enough for actual conversation! What more could I ask?"

"Cigale continues to please with top notch food, a menu that varies to take advantage of seasonal ingredients while maintaining basic favorites and friendly service. Chef/owner Denis Rion is dedicated to pleasing his customers not only with excellent cuisine but with an ambiance that makes one feel at home. There is no rushing to turn the tables. Rion invites his guests to stay and linger as long as they like. What a refreshing and welcome policy. We keep returning and bringing friends."

"An excellent place for a romantic dinner. Staff are prompt, courteous and unobtrusive. Nice selection of French wine. Food was disappointing, but the experience was such that we will try it again, perhaps on the weekend."

"I love the atmosphere in this French cuisine restaurant, it is very warm and inviting. They have spent a lot of time with decorating this space. The service is excellent. You will never have an empty glass of water or run low on bread. They start your meal off with french fries (pomme frites). Everyone is very helpful and the service is great. They change/update their menu as well. The portions are perfect. I have already recommended Cigale Cafe to others."
