Westside Cellar, one of downtown Ventura’s best restaurants, has closed its doors. After several years of serving fine food and excellent wine in a cozy environ, Jimmy Mesa and Jim Rice have called it quits. It is was my kind of place - great ambiance, food and friendly, upscale but not snooty service (full disclosure - my son worked there as a busboy one night a week). How can a place that does so many things right end up this way? Hopefully this sad story will have a happy ending…stay tuned.
