Information About Tierra Sur

About Tierra Sur

Tierra Sur in Oxnard, California, has long been recognized as one of the most refined kosher restaurants in the country. While its culinary direction has evolved over the years—most recently with the arrival of Executive Chef Austin Sper—its core identity remains unchanged: a serious restaurant that happens to be kosher.

The setting adds to the experience. Just over an hour from Los Angeles, the drive up the coast is beautiful, and the restaurant itself is housed within Herzog Winery. The dining room is bright and spacious, designed with understated elegance rather than downtown flash. Step outside the car and you’re immediately greeted by the smell of wood-fired steaks being grilled, a sensory preview of the meal ahead.

Wine is not just an accompaniment at Tierra Sur—it is built into the very fabric of the meal. Every dish incorporates Herzog wines in its preparation, and each course is paired with a thoughtful pour that highlights those same flavors on the plate. This seamless integration makes the experience uniquely tied to the winery itself.

Equally central is the farm-to-table approach. Chef Sper and his team procure vegetables directly from local farms they’ve built strong relationships with, creating a menu that changes with the seasons and reflects the best of California’s agricultural richness. This produce, combined with pristine proteins and careful technique, ensures that even the simplest elements on the plate stand out. The lamb and ribeye steaks, kissed by smoke from the wood fire, show depth and balance, while the vegetables often become stars in their own right.

What guests consistently praise is not just the food, but the pacing and professionalism of the entire evening. Service is attentive and unintrusive, and the staff moves with a confidence that reflects knowledge and warmth. Tierra Sur feels like a destination restaurant, one that draws people for anniversaries, special occasions, wine tastings that turn into dinners, or simply the chance to experience kosher dining at its highest level within California’s culinary landscape.
