Blackbeard's Seaside BBQ at the Harbor in Ventura, CA

Since the BBQ theme  seemed to  be family friendly enough, the whole gang (Me, my parents, husband and two kids) made it out for lunch bunch a couple weeks ago.  I figured this would  be a good opportunity to use one of the gift certificates I had on restaurant.com.  (If you aren't familiar with restaurant.com, see my restaurant.com post.)  And  truthfully, it is probably one of the only ways I would have ever tried the restaurant.

The restaurant was fairly new at the time, but it's family friendliness didn't disappoint, they had fun decor including a life size pirate that was a great  photo opportunity for all the kids.

The food on the  other hand left something to be  desired.  The  menu was pretty limited and nothing seemed particularly memorable.  The meat was generally dry and the other food generally bland.  We  were very disappointed in the food.

On the other hand this place looked like it has potential.  We unanimously decided that this restaurant was  better come back after they worked  out the kinks  - like making enough money to fill the entire dining room with tables and chairs.
