Description: Blue Stove is a stylish yet casual restaurant featuring our interpretation of contemporary flavors focusing on bold tastes and textures. The menu allows our customer the chance to experience our offerings through a variety of small plates that are bold in concept and internationally inspired. We invite our customers to select combinations of menu items with the goal of sharing each dish, making a dining experience unlike any other. The exhibition kitchen provides a stage for our chefs to prepare the menu in a colorful, energetic environment. The wine bar romances wine while providing an alternative dining experience. Blue Stove is a full service restaurant that prides itself on service that is both professional and relaxed while demonstrating knowledge and passion for our food and wine. Our cuisine is inspired by local ingredients at the peak of seasonal freshness. The menu is complimented by a well chosen selection of interesting wines, many available by the glass.

Me and my bro's were doing some shopping at the mall here one afternoon, and we decided instead of getting some expensive dinner out we would just stay and get some mall food. At first we chose the hamburger joint but we saw this and for mall food it was actually good. Most mall food usually just sits at the... More

It's quite a surprise, when (after walking through Nordstrom's lingerie department), you enter a modern, wood paneled bar and dining room with leather banquettes and a creative small plates menu. There's a large selection of wines by the glass and the servers are friendly. A minor criticism is that our plates were delivered a little too quickly. The noise level... More

They serve a variety of small plate dishes. Most are amazing and unlike anything you can get in a similar price range. I like to go here when I want something a little different in a nice atmosphere. They also have a good selection of wines. The service has been good. My only complaint is that some of the dishes... More

I go often to Blue Stove. Every time I try new dishes which are all "small plates". The food is always very good and the service also enhances the experience. But I do make it a point to always order the Seared Scallops with a Lemon Risotto. It is the best I have had and it is consistently good. More

Who would have thought a restaurant in a department store could be so great? All around excellent. Risotto was outstanding. More

We love to "pop in" here when we are not terribly hungry for a big meal but want to relax with some delicious tapas and a glass of wine. The staff is wonderful and the food is so freshly prepared (you can watch them make it) and delicious! More

This is our favorite restaurant in Thousand Oaks. I believe it is unusual to find this type of restaurant inside a store that's inside a mall but you forget the location as soon as you are seated. The atmosphere is dark and borders romantic. Try to get a booth to help increase the romance ambiance. The food is all small... More

i know it sounds silly a restaurant can get so many great reviews...but this restaurant is amazing. We always get the chicken tacos as they are a family favorite...then i let the kids pick a dish and we usually try something new. The portions are small as it's suppose to be a sharing kind of a restaurant but they are... More
