Oxnard, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2013 -- Fine dining is an indulgence that is enjoyed by a great many people to celebrate special occasions or to delight in new culinary experiences. For those in Southern California who enjoy both amazing wine and incredible food, it has long been the consensus that the Tierra Sur restaurant, nestled inside Herzog Wine Cellars, offers some of the best of both. That opinion has now been made fact by the newly published ZAGAT restaurant guide, which has afforded the restaurant the highest rating for a kosher restaurant in its history, and the highest rating in a 40 mile radius.

The ZAGAT guide 2014 has three distinct rating criteria of food, décor and service, which contribute to an overall rating. In each category, Tierra Sur excelled, scoring a 28 on food, a 23 on décor and a 27 on service.

The ratings serve to display a commitment to excellence in the whole experience of fine dining, with teams of staff and interior design elements hand-picked with the same dedication and craft as the ingredients that form their delicious dishes.

A spokesperson for Tierra Sur explained, “This is a huge honor for our chefs and the staff here at Tierra Sur. We would of course like to say thank you to the ZAGAT guide for this incredible recognition of all their hard work, but we also want to thank the friends and customers who have enjoyed our cuisine and shared special moments and meals with our Tierra Sur family. We are confident that many more amazing memories lay ahead of us for more and more valued customers, as our events calendar fills up with exclusive experiences to explore and discover new taste sensations.”
