UPDATE: Phil’s Restaurant opened in March 2022. Learn more at www.phils1000oaks.com.

Prawn & Basil at 3316 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd (just west of Duesenberg Drive) very recently closed its doors**, but the next eatery slated for this spot, "Phil's," is coming soon. No info yet on the offerings but you can follow them at www.facebook.com/Phils-102443092236989. My suspicion is that craft cocktails will be in the mix.

Prior to Prawn & Basil, which opened here in August 2017, this spot was occupied by Geppino's Sicilian Kitchen and before that, Vitello's.

** I’m told by several folks that they will be relocating to the former Barone’s Westlake Village space across the parking lot from Lure Fish House and will operate under a different name. Stay tuned for more details.
