Ventura County Star
readers have spoken
with their ballots
Enclosed in these pages are the
results of the annual Ventura County
Star Readers Choice survey.
You, our readers, have picked
your favorites in 122 categories of
food and services throughout the
county and surrounding area.
This is one of the largest Readers
Choice sections in the 19 years The
Star has been publishing it.
For the fifth-straight year,
balloting was conducted online only
and occurred over a three-week
period in January and February.
Besides the number of pages,
records were set in the number of
votes (153,226) and number of
ballots (7,453).
The winners in each category
were chosen for east Ventura
County (comprised of Newbury
Park, Thousand Oaks, Westlake
Village, Agoura Hills, Simi Valley and
Moorpark), west Ventura County
(comprised of Camarillo, Somis,
Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Ventura,
Oak View, Ojai, Santa Paula,
Fillmore and Piru) or full county.
The next highest vote recipients
in each category, up to five,
were named as Readers Choice
Favorites, again, either with an east
county, west county or full county
designation.
From the ballots received, a
separate contest was held. To thank
those readers who participated, The
Star conducted a drawing of the
names of those who cast votes.
The 2014 Readers Choice
Contest winners are as follows:
First place: Kathy Cortez of Port
Hueneme, $1,000
Second Place: Laurie Norris of
Simi Valley, $750
Third Place: Jim Scott of Oxnard,
$250
(The results of this survey are not the
recommendations or opinions of The Star.)

Chinese Restaurant
For over 50 years, Chesters
Asia Chinese Restaurant has been
Camarillos foremost destination for
Chinese cuisine. Upon entering, one
immediately realizes why: theyve taken
great pains to meticulously plan and

arrange awe-inspiring, brilliant scenery


that cant be found at any other Chinese
dining establishment. The management
and staff derive great pride from the
fact that visiting their restaurant isnt
a simple dining affair, but is a trip
to a kingdom of vibrant colors and
grandeur. Meanwhile, the tantalizing
aroma of fresh ingredients simmering to
perfection wafts through the air.
The ambiance and delectable food is
why Chesters has been able to please
over two generations of customers, as
well as receive consecutive Ventura
County Star Readers Choice awards
over the past several years.
Most importantly, this reputation is a
product of the sensational fare served
at Chesters: a subtle signature fusion
of traditional Szechwan, Cantonese
and Mandarin styles. Foodies can rest
assured that Chesters Asia Chinese
Restaurant has mastered the classics of
Chinese dining, such as Peking Duck,
General Tsos Chicken, Honey Black
Pepper Steak, Kung Pao Three Flavor
and Honey Walnut Shrimp.

Surfn Yogurt
Surfn Yogurt has quickly established
itself as one of the countys favorite
places for frozen yogurt and all the
fixins.
Keith Repult opened his first
location near the beach at Pierpont two
years ago, and has already been able
to expand to two more locations. He
credits his shops success to a great
product and the power of community.
When Repult opened his first
location on a lonely corner, he says,
the store brought people back to the
community. Theyve been coming ever
since, for frozen yogurt and more than
35 toppings.
Surfn Yogurt offers lactose- and
sugar-free yogurts, as well.
Surfn Yogurt has three locations:
two in Ventura, at 1038 S. Seaward
Ave. (643-8808) and at 7770
Telegraph Road (647-9909); and one
in Camarillo at 5233 Mission Oaks
Blvd. (419-4960). Coming soon:
Another Camarillo location at Las Posas
and Arneill roads.
Be sure to look for its food truck at
Ventura County events this summer.

Yolandas Mexican Caf has been

Yolanda Gietzen, and the friendly staff.
Yolandas uses no canned sauces,
only fresh ingredients served from
recipes that have been in the family over
the years.
Yolandas family recipes are prepared
fresh daily. A few of the most popular
items are the sizzling fajitas and tasty
combination plates. And dont miss out
on the weekly dinner specials, each
created by one of the four top chefs.
Specials change every week.
Dont forget to stop by the salsa bar.
Each location offers a variety of freshly
prepared salsas.
In addition to the complimentary
chips and salsa, on Monday through
Thursday all four locations offer free
spicy bean dip. And just recently,
Yolandas added to the menu a new
chile con queso dip.
For dessert, be sure and try the
baked flan or fried ice cream.

Presto Pasta
Decades have passed since stunning
wine was the exclusive domain of fine
dining establishments. However, the
selections to be found at these eateries
have often been lacking.
Now, Presto Pasta is upping the
(Chianti) ante.
Presto Pasta has commissioned
a sommelier whose enthusiasm for
wine is matched by his excitement
for authentic Italian food. The results?
Blissful marriages of home-style cuisine
and a wine list spanning the vineyards
of Italy, the Andes Mountain Range, and

DINING
Californias own renowned wine country.
As a consecutive winner of multiple
Readers Choice Awards, it only makes
sense that the Presto family would offer
multiple choice selections.
Jordan Sweeney brings a proud
range of experience to Presto Pasta, first
and foremost of which is his certification
as a Level 2 Sommelier a distinction
enjoyed by only four people in Ventura
County.
Good food and wine shouldnt
compete, but should balance the palate
in a spirit of culinary harmony. This is
where Sweeneys expertise comes into
play.
Presto Pastas sommelier brims
over with passion as he describes this
new endeavor: I just know that were
all in for a major treat once people are
introduced to these pairings.
Presto Pasta has three locations in
Ventura County: 5722 Telephone Road
in Ventura (658-2898), 1701 Daily
Drive in Camarillo (445-7737) and 1025
Broadbeck Road in Newbury Park (498-

DJs California Catering
For the past 25 years, DJs California
Catering has made its name in how
they tailor to their customer.
We cater to peoples budgets,
themes and menu selection, said
John Blauert, general manager.
The company began in 1991,
by Doug and Jennifer Biggs in their
humble home kitchen. Today the
growing company operates in a brand
new, state-of-the-art 10,000-square-
foot facility.
One of the companys secret
weapons lies in their executive chef,
Eric Bryant. Originally from France,
Bryant is known for his ability to make
unique recipes at great quantities that
are still packed with flavor.
Our most popular dish would
probably be the Chicken Provence, but
our menu is very international and can
be catered to whichever audience so, it
all depends what they are looking for,
Bryant said.
With a full time staff of 30, who have
all been with the company for the last
decade, and a coordinating staff of
roughly 100 servers, the company is
committed, extensive and professional.
We decided early on that we would
never sacrifice quality or service, Doug
Biggs said.
DJs Catering covers everything
from corporate picnics, weddings and
luncheons to barbecues and much
more.

Johnson Drive in Ventura.

Kalani Family Chiropractic
Dr. Kalani Jose is one of the premier
family chiropractic corrective and
wellness care providers in Ventura
County.
Dr. Kalani is a chiropractor today
because his life changed from the
power of a single adjustment. In his
early adulthood, he was involved in a
work-related injury, where he sustained
a major injury to his lower back and was
told he would never walk again.
After visiting his classmates father,
a chiropractor, he started feeling
sensations in his back where he hadnt
since before the injury, just from the
first, powerful adjustment. Not only did
the chiropractor correct the underlying
cause of his health issues, it also

sparked Dr. Kalanis interest. Through


his cure, he also found a passion
for helping others function optimally
and enjoying life, the way they were
designed to.
Kalani Chiropractic is honored to
be the winner for Chiropractor. To
show its gratitude, it invites you in for a
chiropractic tune-up and adjustment for
only $35. Mahalo.
Kalani Family Chiropractic is at 2100
Outlet Center Drive in Oxnard.

Glenn Cohen
Not many doctors treat fellow
physicians, surgeons and health care
professionals on a day-to-day basis.
But for Dr. Glenn Cohen, an orthopedic
hand, wrist and elbow surgeon, its a
common occurrence.
My parents taught me respect,
honesty, integrity and confidence.
My professors taught me how to be a
technically good surgeon. Outstanding
care requires all these qualities, Cohen
said.
Originally from New Jersey, Cohen
moved to Calabasas in 1976 and began
his practice shortly thereafter.
My philosophy has been to treat
people the way I would like to be treated
by my own personal physicians. I
demand a lot of myself and my staff, but
I think that we really do accomplish our
goal of treating patients like family, he
said.
Dr. Cohen has become well known in
the community in his 14 years here. He
is recognized for his outstanding care,
prestigious awards, glittery waterproof

Community
Memorial Hospital and
Ojai Valley
Community Hospital
As residents of Ventura County,
you are the owners of Community
Memorial Health System. Our hospitals
Community Memorial Hospital and
Ojai Valley Community Hospital are
the only community-owned, not-for-
profit hospitals in Ventura County. They
are owned by each of us not by a
national firm, a large corporation or a
government entity.
CMHSs administration, board of
trustees, medical staff and employees
are deeply committed to providing the
highest quality healthcare to our friends
and neighbors throughout Ventura
County. Superb medical facilities play
an extremely important role in our
quality of life, ranking alongside other
factors such as housing, employment
opportunities, effective education and
cultural and social life. We are honored
to be a cornerstone of this community,
having provided more than a century of
noble service.
Now, Community Memorial Health
System is embarking on a new mission,
one that can only be accomplished as
a collaborative effort with the great help
of the community. CMHS is undertaking
two important projects that will expand
and enhance healthcare services at
both the Ventura and Ojai hospitals. A
new hospital is being built in Ventura
that will meet the existing and emerging
needs of patients and their families,
while we undertake the modernization
of the Ojai Valley Community Hospital,
which includes the building of a new
skilled nursing facility.
These projects are needed to not
only meet a state seismic mandate, but
more importantly they are needed to
update facilities so that our healthcare
professionals are able to practice
modern medicine, in modern facilities,
and so that we are able to continue to
attract the next generation of physicians
to take care of our residents for
generations to come.
Community Memorial Hospital is at
147 N. Brent St. in Ventura (652-5011),
while Ojai Valley Community Hospital is
at 1306 Maricopa Highway in Ojai (646-
1401).

Simi Valley Hospital
As a not-for-profit, faith-based
hospital, Simi Valley Hospital is
committed to the health of the
community as a whole, both inside and
outside the walls of the hospital.
We are founded on the basis of
whole-person care, which means we
care for our patients mind, body and
spirit, said Kim Milstien, president and
CEO of Simi Valley Hospital. With the
50th anniversary of the hospital coming
up next year, we are thrilled to be an
east county favorite.

For seven consecutive years its
been an honor to be the winner of
the Readers Choice award for Lasik
surgeon. Thank you for recognizing
The Dougherty Difference and trusting
your vision with Dr. Paul Dougherty.
There are an overwhelming number
of options when it comes to vision
correction surgery. Although Lasik is a
great option for vision correction, its not
the only nor best option for everyone
seeking better vision. Dougherty Laser
Vision offers the latest, most up-to-
date techniques and technology in
vision correction, including traditional
and custom wavefront-guided Lasik,
Implantable Contact Lenses and
Intraocular Lenses.
Dr. Dougherty is among the nations
most experienced and respected vision
correction surgeons, not just a Lasik

Buying a home can be a roller

Opened in 1995 by mortgage brokers

Dan OBrien and Pat Borton, Landmark


Financial is recognized again by the
Ventura County Star readers. Borton
attributes the Readers Choice award
to the fact that they care about their
clients.
Its all about whats best for each
borrower what program fits them the
best, she said.
Borton added they also make it a
point to return calls, making sure that a
client is responded to quickly.
Its just caring. Somebody is waiting
for a phone call, hello, you got to get
back to them, Borton said.
Another thing Landmark Financial
excels in is taking the time to explain
to the borrower what theyre signing,
especially with the paperwork involved
these days. According to Borton, who
has been in the industry for years, the
paperwork now is crazy.
OBrien and Borton also make
honesty a priority, letting clients know
whether or not they are able to buy a
home.
We always try very hard to say, OK,
dont get discouraged, if we cant do it
now, lets create a plan for you, Borton
said. Its such a good feeling that were

Over 20 years ago, Peter Lars came
to Ventura County from Chicago to
start living his dream. What began as a
hobby, while he pursued radio and film,
soon became his passion and career.
I started out doing classroom photos
for an underprivileged preschool. I
showed up in a suit and tie but it scared
the kids into thinking I was a doctor,
Lars said.
Changing to a relatable outfit of
pastels and taking the time to cheer on
each child, Lars quickly landed his first
elementary school in 1994 Elmhurst
Elementary in Ventura and has taken
off since.
We are so grateful for the
community and are always helping to
sponsor the local schools, he said.
Today Cornerstone has grown to
include 21 employees that take more
than 88,000 school photos each year.
Located in Moorpark, the staff all got
together to create a posh-looking studio

All three colleges of the Ventura County Community College District


Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura have been voted favorites for College/
University.
that has become a canvas for photo
creations.
From a beach shack, a Levi Strauss
Co. brick backsplash with an old
Plymouth truck, to a wall of license
plates, his team has thought of it all to
encourage unique portraits.
We do everything from wedding
photos, babies, senior pictures to family
pictures, Lars said.
Cornerstone Photography is at 5351

Pacifica Institute
Founded in 1979 by Robert S.
Improta, M.D., Pacifica Institute of
Cosmetic Surgery is a premier plastic
surgery center where patients can
seek professional medical advice to
enhance lives and improve lifestyles.
Joined by partner Daniel G. Kolder,
M.D. three years ago, the practice takes
pride in providing extraordinary care to
its patients from initial consultations,
pre-operation, procedure and after-care
recovery.
As board-certified medical doctors
by the American Board of Plastic
Surgeons, Dr. Improta and Dr. Kolder

emphasize the importance of setting


realistic expectations with patients who
are considering treatment during initial
consultations, which are complimentary.
Each person we meet represents a
unique experience for consideration,
said Dr. Kolder. Electing to have plastic
surgery is a huge life decision and we
take great care with patients to help
define their expectations and explain
procedures, fees and recovery periods
to help alleviate any overwhelming
feelings they may have.
While all of the services Pacifica
Institute offers fall under the category of
plastic surgery, some services are less
invasive than others.
For example, state-of-the-art lasers
and lights can help treat deep facial
lines and spots without making any
incisions, whereas full face-lifts, breast
augmentations, tummy tucks and body
sculpting take longer to recover.
Dr. Kolder highly encourages patients
Green Acres Farm Market and Catering offers a unique variety of options, from self-serve deliveries and pick-
up orders to large, full-service gourmet buffets and upscale authentic Santa Maria-style barbecues, grilled on
location. For the third year in a row, and 15th in the past 17 years, it has been voted the east county winner for
Catering Company.

Over the last few years, Troop Real
Estate has purchased several property

developed its own, which has led to its
establishing six Troop Premier Property
Management offices throughout Ventura
County.

Weve grown to hundreds and


hundreds of properties that we manage
throughout the county, and continue
to grow the business to augment and
help our clients in the various cities we
represent, said Brian Troop, founder
and CEO of Troop Real Estate.
Offering leasing, rentals,
comprehensive applicant screening,
property inspections, move-in and move-
out procedures and much more, Troop
Premier Property Management has an
extensive network of employees to assist
with filling tenant vacancies for rental
properties. The staff of Troop Premier
Property Management prides itself
on understanding and implementing
the day-to-day business of income
properties, and offers its services in a
timely fashion with competitive pricing.
We offer a smorgasbord of services,
said Troop. We can do as little as
finding a tenant for our clients, or we
can do a full buffet where a client
receives concierge service with white-
glove treatment, which includes making
mortgage payments on their behalf.
A full accounting staff and the use of
technology streamlines the processes of
detailed accounting and bill paying.
Troop Premier Property Management
has offices throughout Ventura County.

Troop Real Estate


With 12 offices throughout Ventura
County and one in Santa Clarita, Troop
Real Estate has approximately 600 area
agents to serve its satisfied clients.
Weve been very selective over the
years in hiring quality people and have
an extensive training program, not
only for new agents, but experienced
agents, said Brian Troop, who founded
Troop Real Estate in 1987. Thats why
our reputation sets us apart from the
competition.
And, when it comes to its standing
in Ventura Countys highly competitive
world of real estate, Troop Real Estate is
at the top of the pack.
In 2013, we had a 48 percent market
share in the Simi Valley/Moorpark area,
said Troop. Throughout Ventura County,
we had 28 percent, which is double our
closest competitor.
Troop Real Estate deals primarily
with residential clients, with purchases
that range from $20,000 mobile homes
to multimillion-dollar estate properties.
It also has a substantial commercial
property division, as well as a property
management side.
I am thrilled we won the Ventura
County Stars Readers Choice award for
Real Estate, said Troop. We owe it all
to our clients, who rely on us to provide
them with outstanding service.
Troop Real Estate has offices in
Camarillo, Channel Islands, Fillmore,
Moorpark, Ojai, Santa Clarita, Santa
Paula, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks,
Westlake Village and Wood Ranch.

East Ventura Animal Hospital knows
that pet owners have a lot of choices
when it comes to the care of their

I think its the way we treat the
animals and our clients with care and
compassion, Dr. Lee Baker, DVM, said
about why his veterinary clinic which
has been in business for 33 years
was again chosen by readers as one
of their favorites. We dont promote
asking people to vote for us, as we want
it to come from the heart. This just
humbles me.
The state-of-the-art facility offers
an in-house laboratory and pharmacy,
digital radiography and ultrasound to

When Julie Rhoads dad, Dick
Rhoads, established Green Acres

Farm Market and Catering in 1968, his


goal was to provide a full-service meat
market to Simi Valley and neighboring
communities.
Today, we call ourselves a farm
market, because not only do we still
have that traditional meat market, where
you can get customized cuts of meat,
but we also have a deli department,
cooked foods and specialty items, Julie
Rhoads said.
Green Acres Farm Market and
Catering is akin to a farmers market
in that customers can get farm-
fresh groceries, gourmet items and
personalized service, but all in one
convenient location.
Green Acres Farm Market and
Catering is at 2918 Los Angeles Ave. in

Michaels Flowers
Michael Mutal, owner of Michaels
Flowers, is proud to announce that his
son Adam, who was born a month after
the stores opening 34 years ago, took
over the business last year. Adam, as
the new owner of Michaels Flowers,
is offering the same quality floral
arrangements and excellent customer
service to clients in Simi and Conejo

valleys. Being an independent florist


allows Mutals designers to work one-on-
one with each customer.
Valentines Day, Mothers Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas are the top
holidays, but special occasions, such as
birthdays and anniversaries are given
equal consideration by Mutal and his
staff.
The bulk of our business consists
of everyday requirements for our
customers, said Michael Mutal. As a
well-rounded flower shop, we are able
to take trends and modify them to meet
our customers desires.
The customer demographic runs the
gamut, from young people to seniors
and everyone in between, so styles
of flower arrangements range as well,
including modern cubes, traditional
vases and classic baskets, along with
the sentimental mainstay of a dozen
roses.
While we have many customers call
or walk into our shop, were currently
seeing more people use our website to
order flowers, said Michael Mutal.
Michaels Flowers is at 1951 Sequoia
Ave., Unit E, in Simi Valley.

Opened in 1992 by Jim Farpelha,

computer alignment, tire rotation and

it provides the best service in town.


Among the many specialized services
offered, he said the top four most
requested are: brake alignments, shock
replacement, suspension repair and
installation of wheels.

a wide variety of brands. Those include:
BFGoodrich, Bridgestone, Continental,

wear before it affects the safety
of drivers and passengers. Not

American Vision Windows
Bill and Kathleen Herren were
motivated to bring quality products and
exceptional service to other homeowners
after the window company theyd used
for their own home proved less than top
notch.
When the Herrens started American
Vision Windows, they wanted to provide
timely, professional service, and the
window manufacturers they chose had
to share the same business philosophies
so that our customers would be well
taken care of, said Al Alfieri, president
of American Vision Windows. Were
also extremely employee-driven and
believe that if we serve our employees
by providing training and certification,
the work turns into a higher-quality
experience for the customer.
American Vision Windows is at 2125
Madera Road, Suite A, in Simi Valley.
