Brophy Bros.

I've been to Brophy Brothers many times in Santa Barbara and great food and service. This time, in Ventura Harbor, it was no different. I had blackened sea bass and my partner had seafood pasta. Both were delicious. The clam chowder was the best I've ever had. This is not a upscale fine dining restaurant. As a consequence it's a bit noisy. If you simply want good fresh seafood, this is the place to go.

This seafood restaurant was absolutely delicious! The clam chowder was creamy and flavorful, the fish and chips were perfectly crispy, and the beer paired really well with everything. I also ordered calamari — it was tender and cooked just right. The complimentary bread was also very tasty. Next time, I’d love to call ahead and reserve a table with a harbor view!

Delicious food and a really fast kitchen. The service is very good and they've got just the right amount of options on the menu. They chowder is 🔥; highly recommend.

My wife and I visited Brophy Brothers in Ventura for dinner after spending the day before Easter at Serra Cross, and it was a fantastic experience. Last time we tried, the line was too long, so we were thrilled to use Yelp’s waitlist feature this time around. It worked perfectly, and we scored a patio table with a stunning view of Ventura Harbor. We started with the hot combo, featuring fresh shellfish like shrimp and baked oysters—absolutely delicious and it was so flavorful. The clams were impressively large, and the sauce was so good we couldn’t stop dipping our sourdough bread in it. My wife ordered a cup of clam chowder, which was creamy, packed with clams, and just divine. Her seafood pasta dish was another highlight, loaded with plump shrimp and tender, flavorful scallops. The meal was incredible, made even better by the breathtaking sunset view from our table. Our server was on point, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking was a breeze, too. Brophy’s delivered on every front—fresh seafood, great service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

The only regret I had is not getting the clam chowder soup in a bowl…I only had a cup and it’s one of the best I ever had…savory and lot of clams…like a lot…the fish was cooked Perfect! And great customer service and of course, very nice view.

Best clam chowder in years, and the fish sandwich, Mahimahi, excellent. Laura was a great server, view incredible.

We love enjoying the harbor views here. LONG wait times without a reservation are par here though. 90 minutes is not uncommon on the weekends. Food is good. Drinks are ok. Not a fan of their margaritas. Service is typically steady and reliable. Of course prices are a bit high for what you get but you're paying for views as much as anything so make a reservation or sit at the bar, order a red beer or glass of syrah with dinner and enjoy the sunset.

Super fun place, great food, excellent staff, party atmosphere with your fellow humans all enjoying life. The view is fantastic. The cocktails are unmatched.

Decent chowder. Good fish and chips. My son for salmon and my mom got swordfish. All fresh and delicious. The service was pretty great as well, gave them a little grace as it was pretty busy.

I travel 2 hours to come here. The food is excellent the service is top notch and it's such a relaxing atmosphere!! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Wonderful place to enjoy harbor sunsets , excellent service and good food. We went Sunday afternoon to celebrate two birthday and one engagement and had a great time . There was ample parking - three bucks for three hours do g an app. The server was super patient guiding us through the gluten free menu options and the food arrived in an orderly manner . Plenty of upstairs seating ( need to climb a staircase - don't know if they have an elevator) with large windows overlooking the boats and water. Good choices of fish , shell fish and even chicken and burgers . We opted for fish and shell fish since everything was fresh and we were next to the water. The prices are fair for the location and general area which is a delight to walk around to , sit in the sun and listen to live music . They were great at acknowledging and celebrating the three special occasions with two surprises ( you will need to go to find out what they are) Definitely will come back !

I really enjoy eating here but their online order/pick up process really needs to improve. Had to go downstairs to OTA first, they acted like I was an alien asking for a magic hammer then they sent me upstairs where the hostess sent me to the bar which then the bar person sent me to the manager which told me to go back downstairs. When I told her that's where I came from, she came down with me and then they were even more confused. She tried to tell that the home-kit order takes 24 hours which I replied, I understand which is why I placed the order yesterday. I had to show her the online receipt because they had no idea what I was talking about. So instead of getting what I ordered, they gave me two quarts of hot chowder which is not what I paid for but at that point I just wanted to leave. I really hope they get their act together and maybe train staff a little better to handle their own online/pickup orders. 40 minutes to pick up an order I placed the day before, and the worst part is that it was not a complicated order, literally 2 quarts of chowder, that is it!! I was very disappointed in the service.

I have always wanted to try Brophy Bros. Today was the day. I sat outside. They have a cute outdoor area. Everyone was very friendly here. 5 stars for friendliness! This review is about the food experience though... FOOD: I ordered the Bowl of Clam Chowder and House Salad with a Diet Coke for my drink. The bread they serve is amazing! It was the only good thing I got to eat. The Clam Chowder was so salty I couldn't eat it. It did not taste like cream based chowder. It tasted like a salty, broth based chowder. It was a 2/10. I grew up in Marin near San Francisco. I know what excellent chowder is. The house salad that looked so beautiful in all of the Yelp pictures I saw, looked terrible in person. On Yelp it had greens, tons of cucumber, tomatoes, and Parmesan. Mine had 3 tiny pieces of cucumber, 1 tomato, and nothing else. The second Diet Coke tasted like Rum. If they used a dirty alcohol cup that wasn't cleaned I'll be very upset. I have no proof though, but guarantee from the taste, they did. I mentioned kindly to the server about the chowder being so overly salted. He told me someone else said the same thing today too. He took it off my bill and I appreciated that. I did not want to complain about the entire meal. So I paid $13 for lettuce and a Diet Coke, and an added $6 tip. It wasn't the server's fault the food was bad. It did take 15 minutes after I was finished eating to flag him down to get my bill though. I didn't love that. EXPERIENCE: The restaurant is cute. The floors are terribly sticky everywhere though. That's a bit of a turn off. Inside smells like a bar that needs cleaning. I used to bartend so I know that odor. The service was kind, but too slow. The food was sadly awful. I understood I just got chowder, salad, and a drink. When all 3 were awful, why would I ever come back? Maybe just for that delicious bread. I don't like it when I have to give a bad review, but this is honesty.

Stop by here for a nice Sunday lunch and it didn't disappoint! Our waiter was just ok, but the manager who was here and helping out everyone was spectacular! She made our experience so much more enjoyable. Locations is beautiful! It's well kept and clean. Loved the view of the ocean! We had the baked clams to start and they were delicious! Would have that as my main dish next time. I had the fish and chips for my main course and they were just ok. But the star of the meal was the Bloody Mary and the oyster shooter! I would go every day just to help us through these. Endless amounts of them.

Amazing lunch ! The "special " was Broiled lobster for two $50 ! We enjoyed it entirely. Wife says the oyster shooters are still the best around . The bartenders are always hustling , but somehow manage to take care of business so we always eat at the bar . The view of the harbor and surrounding mountains is quite spectacular.

Foods good, service is fair, being by the water is great! Clam chowder: the bowl is HUGE and there's so many clam pieces which is amazing, the taste is a little different from other chowders I've tried but not in a bad way Steamed clams: tasty, but nothing unique, and for the price I would've skipped this in the future Fish n chips: loved the way they fried this - reminded me of the UK fish n chips, not too thick, the fish itself was a little bland but still great dish Cioppino: usually this costs much more but for this price is a steal, enjoyable Seafood pasta: lots of scallops and shrimp, noodles were well cooked, not the largest portion but comes with the chowder so you'll be full Overall, it's a great seafood spot. They don't skimp out on giving you lots of seafood pieces if it's the chowder, pasta, etc. The ambiance is nice and lively with an indoor bar and outdoor seating that's shielded with heaters so not too chilly. The place is a little hectic and it seems they're pretty busy but it makes service a little slower. Our waitress was overall polite but not the friendliest, though no issues with any other staffers. Enjoyable place I'd recommend for reasonable prices Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Food: 4.5/5

Brophy Brothers nails both seafood and atmosphere. The clam chowder is rich, the fish and chips are crisp, and the harbor view is unbeatable--boats, water, and mountains. Service is fast, friendly, and genuinely helpful, with our server making the experience even better. Reminder: Pay for parking on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

This is a very popular spot, right on the harbor, with lovely views of the water. Unlike the Santa Barbara location, you can make a reservation here through Yelp. If you don't, you'll be waiting. It takes two seconds to make the reservation, so just do it. The food is good. It's not fantastic. As others have noted, stick with the classics. Go fried or go home. The fish and chips was a little greasy but mostly really, really good (and the fries here are excellent). The grilled fish sandwich (ordered "Cajun-style") was nice. The beer-battered shrimp was delicious. That was the star of the table. The clam chowder was ok but I would skip it next time. It's definitely on the gooey, or perhaps the glue-y, side. The big loaf of freshly-baked complimentary sourdough bread you get at the start is great. On Yelp, some people love the mai tais here, and others hate them. Same for the Bloody Marys. Why roll the dice on something exotic when you can get wine or beer or a normal cocktail? Their beer and wine selection is not bad at all, by the way. I love both mai tais and Bloody Marys but the widely differing criticisms made me steer clear. The bar scene is pretty happening here and the inside dining room is much louder than the outside patio. If you want a more conversational experience, try and dine on the deck. Our service was just fine. They are family friendly and kids are welcome. Sure, it's a touristy and the food isn't amazing but for your basic seafood dishes and a beer or martini, and the excellent view, you could do a lot worse.

GETTING HERE: Located at the Ventura Harbor Village across from Andria's Seafood. REVIEW: First-timer here, let's go! I've no words to express how saddened I am that I've slept on Brophy's for so long! Always at the Harbor. Always walking by. Often at Andria's, etc., etc. But, it's so good! Let's break it down: Arrived with my guest around lunchtime. Was told it was a 10-15 minute wait, but thankfully, a table opened up (near the bar)? - It was unclear, but that's of no matter. The server came out pretty quickly to greet us, and since we were pretty hangry, we ordered right away. She ordered a beautiful Salmon salad, and I ordered the Fish and Chips. The sourdough bread was as good as I've seen other Yelpers detail. Super duper good. Of course, it's busy at lunchtime, I get that. But our server never came back to check in on us. We were puzzled, to say the least. But another employee brought us our check (after we flagged him down). I am remiss to even write about service because, cough, 2025, and we could have outstanding service the next visit. So, I won't deduct any stars for this visit and review. Beach. Water. Boats, too. What more do you need for a great vibe? It's a win-win for me. Thanks!

We usually go to lunch at Brophy Brothers, but we went for dinner this time. Yelp said there was a 15-20 minute wait. We put ourselves on the waitlist prior to arrival. But when we arrived, we were sat right away. The service was quick, friendly, and professional. The drinks from the bar were outstanding. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered the calamari appetizer and a bowl of clam chowder. The bowl was huge, as well as the clams. It was very tasty. The calamari was equally delicious. My wife had the blackened seabass. It was very good. A huge piece of a perfectly cooked fish. Overall, another great meal.

Dear Hubby and I are long-time fans of Brophy's, so I'm sorry to report that we had a less than stellar experience the last time we visited on a busy Sunday. What's more, we introduced our daughter and son-in-law, plus Sweet Granddaughter to the restaurant. We had previously brought SG with us to downstairs On the Alley (by Brophy Bros.) and had a good time. We had several let-downs at upstairs full Brophy's this time. It was a busy, clear, not windy day. The parking lots for the Harbor Village were quite full. We got situated, then took out an electric boat for a little harbor cruise. After, everyone was ready to eat after all the fresh air. Even though it was long before dinner time, we were told that it could be 30 to 45 minutes for a table. We were actually texted earlier, but only for an indoor table. The view on the balcony is really where it's at for this place visually, so that was disappointing. They said it could be another 20 to 30 minutes for an outside table, and everyone was hungry, so we stayed at the indoor booth. The food was the bigger let-down. The "award winning" clam chowder turned out to be like "potato soup" this time; lacking sufficient clams for the right flavor or texture. I can no longer enjoy it as I can't have dairy milk / cream / cheese, but I remember it's amazing flavor from back in the day. That was sad to hear - both our S-I-L and DH had the same reaction. Are clams hard to come by right now? Hmm. Their fresh fish dishes / preparations are amazing, but getting up there in price. On the more reasonable offerings are a lot of fried dishes. DH and I normally share the fish & chips, because it's so good, then add a side or two. That day the fish was over-cooked and not as moist and succulent as we're used to, so that was strike #2. We had also ordered calamari, which likewise was overdone. This is so not like what normally comes out of the kitchen. It did not make a favorable impression on the younger generation. The sourdough bread was outstanding as usual, so that was a plus. Our daughter ordered a crab salad as her entree and said that she's accustomed to a better quality taste and texture from one of the supermarkets she goes to in the Valley. Ouch! So this was not what we were used to, nor expecting when taking family there for the first time. I can say with certainty that the next time we get the kids to come out to the shore, they won't want to go to Brophy Bros. We would have to try Greek, French, Mexican, or other options at the Harbor Village instead. DH and I will return, as we are faithful, but I needed to tell the tale of this most recent experience in the hopes that management will see it and take a note from long-time patrons.

We placed our orders at the counter, was given a number, found table seating with a view of the marina, and food items were brought to us when ready. We enjoyed their cup of New England Clam Chowder which came with oyster crackers and complimentary bread and butter. The chowder was hot and creamy with plentiful clams. Everything was really good! Self serve complimentary water.

My family has been coming here since I was a kid - the consistency & quality is still unmatched. Gorgeous view of the harbor, excellent service & of course Delicious food! A must try & try to sit on the patio if possible for the 10/10 experience.

We had an amazing dinner here after our day out at Channel Island National Park. The menu has lots of goodies on it, tons of fresh seafood choices. Our salmon and shrimp scampi came with a choice of all you could eat rice or fries or Cole slaw. We tried all of them and they were all great, as were the shrimp scampi and salmon. Loved the big side salad and fresh hot bread and butter that came with the meals as well. Our server Katie C was amazing. We loved her! She made our dining experience even better and gave us an excellent sunset beach spot for after dinner.

I think I found my new favorite fish and chips restaurant, hands down. The first thing that we did when we came here was to check to see if they used peanut oil to fry their food, thankfully they didn't. Next, you're blessed with a beautiful view of all the boats and beautiful weather. We ordered the fish & chips with a bowl of clam chowder. The clam chowder was *chefs kiss* it was soooooo good paired with the sourdough bread on the side and you just dip into the soup. I would come back just for this. Next was the fish & chips, the breading was soooooo good and didn't take away from the taste of the fish. The service was incredible, I forgot her name but she was wearing a green blouse that day and shoutout to you for making the experience amazing. Overall, I will definitely be coming back next time I am out in the area

I first heard about Brophy Bros when a friend took me here as I first moved to Ventura. I had such a great experience and have been here numerous times; each time has always exceeded my expectations. Now, whenever friends and family come to visit Ventura, I always take them to Brophy Bros. The food here always hits the spot. Some of our favorites include the seafood pasta and the fish and chips. A lot of the items also come with free fries and coleslaw refills too which is always nice! I also love the view here. I've been here during both the daytime and at night and the view is always amazing. Perfect for a date night and also perfect for when you want to show off the best of Ventura to visiting family and friends. During my last visit here a few days ago, I was amazed at the great service from my server, Declan. He was so attentative and helpful. I (unfortunately) drink a lot of water and sometimes servers get fed up with me but Declan was so on top of it and filled my water like 5 times without me asking, and he always did it with a smile on his face.

I grew up going to Brophy Bros in Santa Barbara when I would visit my grandparents. This was my first time to the Ventura location. It offers a similar water front vibe with some decent views of the boats and water. I went during off hours, so I can't speak necessarily for how busy it gets during dinner hours. But it seemed to have a little more space than the Santa Barbara location. The wait staff was friendly. The food was just as good as I remembered. I ordered a clam chowder which I thought was very good. For my entrée, I ordered fish and chips, which were also very good. I shared with my table, a mud pie for dessert and really enjoyed it.

Ambiance- there's outside patio seating, indoor and bar. Interesting stand by the open window on the patio while you wait. Service- great attentive waitress Food- a cup of clam chowder was all I could eat because I ate the whole mini sourdough loaf. It was good. Didn't get to taste my sea bass

I was so looking forward to trying Brophy Bros for dinner after watching a YouTube review raving about the fresh and impeccably cooked fish. We were a party of 4 on a week night. The pros of the experience: excellent service, delicious warm bread, and yummy clam chowder. Cons: our shared order of sea bass was overcooked and dry. The seasoning didn't do it any favors. I only ate 1/2 of my portion. We asked for a side of vegetables as we thought it came with our entree. These vegetables were also disappointing as we expected some broccoli or carrots and were served grilled onions and green peppers that seemed to be for fajitas. Our friends ordered scampi and cioppino with an appetizer of baked clams. Their verdict is that all was just okay, not fabulous. I would come back for the clam chowder and the bread but the rest was a big let down.

I ate dinner a couple months ago at Brophy Bros during a business trip. I remember the service and food were excellent! I ate in the outdoor patio facing the marina. They had some great IPA beers and cocktails. Highly recommended!

The lime relish was a first-time try for us, INCREDIBLE! Oysters were fresh and the complimentary sourdough bread was a warm welcome to the bar. Waiters were kind and the pub had an inviting appeal. Great views of the harbor!

i probably should've tried their clam chowder and real seafood entrees rather than their open faced tuna melt but the latter left much to be desired. the tuna was bland and i kept needing to use my friend's tartar and cocktail sauces to make it more palatable and the half melted slab of american cheese was.. an odd addition. calamari appetizer was yummy though, and because we had a reservation, seating and service were quick. had a seat out on the deck for nice views of the harbor. our server did not seem too keen on turning on the heater next to us when we asked -- hesitated a long time and said "...not suuureee, let me ask my supervisor...", but when i asked another younger, more sprightly server, he immediately said, "of course! let me get the guy who usually does it!" interesting.

The clam chowder has great flavor and consistency, and a good balance of ingredients! Clams, potatoes, celery, and spices make this clam chowder a must if you consider yourself a clam chowder person. And, sour dough and butter to go with it! We ordered takeout and would do it again. The service was friendly and timely. Cheers! Tip; they'll validate your parking :)

The service was slow and there seemed to be a shortage of staff. We had the calamari appetizer, the shrimp and crab salad, and clam chowder. The calamari seemed over fried and was accompanied by tartar and cocktail sauces that were undoubtedly out of a jar. The salad was primarily shrimp with a minimal amount of crab. The chowder was ok and we asked for bread with the salad and needed to ask twice. Overall, the food was mediocre! I had a martini and my wife had an Aperol Spritz. I think there was more water than gin in the martini although it was cold! Both drinks were not very good! The atmosphere wasn't welcoming and was noisy. This was our second experience at Brophy's. We don't see a reason to return.

We had a lovely experience here! We made a reservation the morning of for a 5pm table. It was right before sunset so it was nice to be there as the sun was setting. The view is absolutely gorgeous! I recommend dining when the sun is still up a bit. We were seated instantly and given menus & some fun wax twisty toys for the kids. SO much better than crayons & paper. The kids(2 & 4) were entertained until their food came. We were served bread while we waited for our food. The food came out in proper time. Fish & chips (both adult and kid portion) as well as soup and salad. The salad was dressed with an interesting peppercorn ranch. All the food was great! Service was wonderful the entire time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience & will be back!

Amazing service, if you reserve a table online they actually leave a sign that says reserved on your table. Among sitting down I was already greeted and asked if I wanted waters and bread with butter. Ambience is amazing. How much better can it be with the views and water. Our server was amazing, she always checked on us even though she was very busy with both patio and indoor tables. The food came out amazing. Perfectly seasoned. On a cold day, the hot plate is a great choice, and you get a great deal for the price and portion sizes. The salad was huge with large portions of crab and shrimp, the sauce is delicious. Seafood pasta perfectly cooked shrimp and scallops. The sauce is nice and tangy with the provided lemon. They give you a good amount of seafood. Clam chowder - how can you say no? There's so much clam packed into a small cup. Every bite is so savory you get hit with so much flavor I wish I got another one to go!

Always love coming to this place. Service is usually fairly quick and efficient, food is solid, and you can't beat the view upstairs out on the patio of the harbor. My normal go to is the clam chowder which in my opinion is one of the best around in the area. Always plenty of big clams and a nice balance with the potatoes. Add a little Tabasco to it and you're in heaven. Secondly, always love the fish and chips. They do a nice job of balancing out the size of the fish with plenty of fries. I do wish they'd give us a little bit bigger container of tartar sauce, but it's never an issue when I ask for a second one. This time I decided to try something a little bit different and went for the seafood pasta. It was definitely off the beaten path for me as I normally just like to stick to pure seafood type dishes. I can honestly say it was not one of the better things I've eaten lately. It was a very soupy type dish, plenty of linguine and tomatoes and garlic, with chunks of shrimp and scallop. It was very bland and did not have any type of seasoning to it. Needless to say, I will not be ordering this again. The service this time around was a little bit slower than what we are used to when we come here. Had to flag down our server, even though she wasn't that busy. She was nice and kind, but nevertheless, once our food was dropped off she never came back to ask how it was and I had to flag her down again. Will we go back here? Absolutely. Will I try something different the next time I'm here? Probably not. Stick to what we like and you're always gonna be satisfied.

I took my son for some cold seafood over tge weekend. We both ordered the Cold Combo. The waitress notified me they ran out of shrimp. She suggested we could add more oysters which was a fine compromise. When our food arrived it was missing the crab also. It was just oysters and cliche. I enjoy the quality at Brophy. This experience was a diaspointment.

Stopped here because the name seemed silly but was pleasantly shocked by the professional, clean ambiance and delicious seafood dishes. Was a bit on the pricier side compared to places we had been eating at, but honestly not overly expensive considering the quality and the type of establishment this was.  Both the raw and cooked dishes came out very fresh and very cold/hot in a timely manner. The chowder was even better than I expected and the fish and chips were Great stop in Santa Barbara for a casual-to-upscale dinner mood! Will definitely be a usual stop for any PCH trips in the future!

Always a pleasure to get lunch or dinner with Brophy Bros. My first time visiting the Ventura location and was delighted to find out they have covered outdoor seating area, which is perfect for those chillier nights yet being able to enjoy the ambience and gorgeous views. Spectacular and efficient service from staff. If you go to Brophy, it must be for their seafood. Highly recommend their baked oysters and that clam chowder soup.

It was my first time visiting this eatery. So Cal was enduring a heat wave in August, so I was determined to get away for the day and headed north to Ventura. After arriving to the Ventura Harbor Village, which was a beautiful 74* and discovered Brophy Bros - who also has a sister location in Santa Barbara. My waiter, who was friendly and knowledgeable, made several suggestions, which were helpful. After ordering several entrees, the food turnaround was prompt, and the presentation was eye appealing. I chose the hot combo, which included shrimps, clams, and mussels, which was perfect for the complimentary bread dunking. The plate also included oysters Rockefeller and baked clams. The second entree was the wild caught blackened seabass, pilaf, cole slaw, and a cup of clam chowder. Both entrees were served piping hot and flavorful. I was seated in a booth with a nice view of the harbor and boat dock, and the atmosphere was casual. I'm so glad I discovered Brophy Bros, and I'm looking forward to returning here in the future.

First time in Ventura. We stopped here for lunch on the way to our hotel. We shared ahi poke salad, garlic baked clams, oyster shooters and a grilled fish sandwich. Everything tasted great, especially we liked the ahi poke salad, however, the garlic baked clams were a little too rich for our taste. I really liked that they had hot green tea available. Nice view from sitting at the bar and good service

Happy Hour is Monday-Friday, 3:00-6:30PM. Whether you go for the Hot Combo or the Cold Combo (shrimp, oysters, clams, and ceviche) or fish and chips, you're guaranteed fresh, flavorful bites. Pair it with a warm bowl of clam chowder and their complimentary bread, and you're in seafood heaven. Now, let's talk about their micheladas. These are not your average micheladas. The celery salt rim is a unique touch, and the Clamato base, with a hint of horseradish, adds the perfect kick. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The atmosphere is relaxed, the harbor views are beautiful, and the service is friendly. Pro tip: don't forget to make a reservation on their Yelp page--this spot gets busy, and for good reason!

I have tried the location in Santa Barbara and wanted to bring some out of town guests to a seafood place by the water. Ventura is pretty limited on restaurants on the beach. We came on a Saturday night and requested to dine on the patio. The wait was pretty long with 50-70 min wait for a table for 4. They take your phone number and provide a link to tell you your place in line. We were 18th in line and the wait was about an hour but worth the wait. I ordered the seafood pasta even though this was the same dish I tried at the SB location. When you see the photos of it, it's hard to steer you away from it. Although I was pretty tempted to try the shrimp and crab salad. I got the clam chowder cup that is included with the entre. One of my friends got the Seabass. She seemed to enjoy it. Another got the shrimp and soba noodles and she said she really enjoyed the flavor of the noodles and the shrimp. Our waitress was great! She was quick to attend our needs and check on us throughout our meal. The view of the harbor is pretty much worth any wait time and the food quality is also worth coming here for.

Great views and great service. Food is delicious!! Love seafood! Beer on tap! We are regulars!

The view of the harbor was amazing!!!! Service was great. The food was ok. I ordered the shrimp scampi. It came w/ a salad & fries. The salad was delish-it had a garlic Parmesan dressing that was good!!! The fries-needed seasoning. It was the 1st fries we had during our trip that weren't well seasoned!!! I had 2 add salt!!! And the scampi needed seasoning as well. I don't like adding salt 2 my food, but the dish needed it. My daughter had the seafood pasta which she enjoyed. She gave me 1 of the scallops & it was cooked beautifully. We also enjoyed a Mai Tai cocktail! Delish!!!

Always a good time here. Food is always fresh and tasty. The servers are all super sweet and efficient. The location is clean with indoor and covered outdoor seating.

This restaurant used to be my favorite over the years, but these two last visits have been a disappointment. Went here this past Thursday night. Service was good, but food was not. I ordered the sea bass which the server said was her "favorite". What came out didn't even look or taste to be sea bass, but rather some other over cooked shoe leather of a fish filet. Rice with it was cold and crunchy. My husband got the poke and that was flavorless. The best part of the dinner was the bread and clam chowder.

Our day trip took us to Ventura Harbor Village where we enjoyed walking and kayaking. I asked a local for food suggestions and they recommended Brophy Brothers for their clam chowder. I was so happy they did! They were busy, but I was seated right away at the bar table. Sarah, my waitress arrived and took my order of a cup of clam chowder and their house salad. The meal came with a large wedge of sourdough bread and several pats of butter. Everything was delicious. The view of the harbor was nice. It's very busy and noisy there, but it was nice just to get out and try something new. I would definitely come back here!

Beer / drinks good but bar food is bar food. Seemed like a good ambiance for after work bar but wont go back for the food

Seated promptly but waitresses was flustered and it showed. She got confused with drinks never offer refills. Food was good hot and fresh. One order never showed and she said it was lost or stolen. We reminded her several times of our our parties had to go to airport. Eventually showed. Manager removed from bill. Good food so so service

It's been a while since I was last at this location. Prior visit was to the Santa Barbara location and that also did not disappoint. For a weekend stop, we were able to get a seat in the covered patio overlooking the marina. It was about a 15 min or so wait which wasn't that bad. There's always the bar to kill the wait time. Menu, still amazing seafood dishes. We started off with the steamed mussels served with an extra cup of the broth. Also, the sourdough bread that's brought out was perfect for the broth. Mussels were plump and juicy and were perfect with the broth. Entree's, of course the ciopinno is a must. The nice hot broth with a good selections of fresh seafood all cooked together. Full of flavor and was perfect. It's always a must for us. As well as the seafood pasta, again with amazing seafood. That also came with a side of clam chowder which was perfect. The flavors were amazing and nice and thick instead of it being very runny. Service was great right from when we walked in, to being greeted by the hostess. Our waitress was great, friendly and sweet. All the other staff, everyone was excellent. Definitely will be back again if not this location but the others. Food was always great, flavorful and excellent.

Food is good and noise levels are more than enough. Nice view of Ventura Harbor. Check out the sea life murals.

Food, service, and ambiance are all excellent. If you're able to get the outdoor patio seating, you'll be treated to a great view of the harbor. We've been coming a few times here a month and every time it's been excellent. Their seafood is fresh and overall prices are decent. They have good loyalty program too!

We were in the area, so we stopped into this place.Once again, we were so hungry for some good seafood. We had been here previously, so we thought we would do this again, and we've also been to the santa barbara location. So while in ventura, we decided to have dinner here because they carry my clam strips, which not every place, has. I had put our name on the wait list before arrival. Once we got there, we were seated within a couple minutes upstairs at a table which was really nice it had a view of the bay. The waitress came promptly and took our order and um. We sat and talked for a few minutes before they delivered our food. I do really like this place, but this time I must say I was very disappointed. The food looked great as far as presentation, but on my dish, which was the clam strips, they seem so bland and uh, I have no distinct flavor. The clam chowder was really good, and so was the Fish and Chips. So because mine was a disappointment, my husband shared his fish with me. I did not say anything to the waitress about my meal. They were busy and I did not want to cause any issue. Although they are always pretty busy, so I probably should have said something. All in all, I will give it another try on our next visit. But if it remains the same, I probably will say something to the wait staff, and look for a new place to eat in the future.

I've been to Brophy Brothers, both Inn Santa Barbara and now in Ventura food is consistently good service is very good and did you like clam chowder or Chiopino this is the spot. Today I tried something else that fish sandwich which was a black and mahi-mahi served on lightly toasted bread with lettuce tomato and onion is served with coleslaw and french fries I believe they also have a rice option. If you look at the menu it suggest if you want more of the sides, just ask believe me there's enough served. You will not need to ask for more. We eat inside which has windows with a view of the harbor where you can eat outside for the similar view the restaurant has a full bar and this location is quite a bit larger than Santa Barbara. Parking is in the harbor lot no charge.

A family favorite. We have been coming here for many years. My go-to is the cold plate with various cold seafood. Very healthy and low carb if that's what you are going for. The waitress recommended some salad dressings to add to the remaining lettuce which would be great for anyone who does dairy/egg. They treat you really well which is nice and the views of the marina are priceless
