Lure Fish House

Went in on a Saturday for lunch with 3 people. Was able to be seated at a high top table straight away. Great vibe, friendly and quick service. We ordered dirty martinis and when we asked for more olive brine they happily obliged. We ordered fresh and broiled oysters to share as well as mussels abs lobster roll. All were fantastic! Even the bread with whipped butter was delightful! Loved this spot.

First time coming here after hearing how great it was, figured we needed to try it! It was great! We sat outside and the day was beautiful with the nearby ocean breeze it was perfect! The inside was very trendy and modern with everything very first class. Our waiter Jairo was very attentive and gave us great recommendations on our food and drinks! The food was very tasty and well prepared! Strongly recommend when you're in the area!

The highlights were definitely the miso glazed sea bass skewers and the clam chowder. The sauce for the linguine with clams was a little thin and the lobster ravioli didn’t have a ton of lobster. Our server, Joel, was super attentive especially for such a busy night and offered to cut the peach lemonade with some iced tea and it was very refreshing and tasty. The key lime pie wasn’t as lime forward as I hoped

One of my favorite spots, we got here just in time for happy hour, we asked front desk to be seated at the bar. Very nice gentlemen ! We sat at the bar self seating, bartender took good care of us. He took our order immediately. Got our drinks took our food order ! We grabbed a few items from happy hour menu. Everything was perfect ! Delicious. I love their clam chowder. The shrimp taco was amazing. All the food was so good. Place wasn't so loud. It was really nice. I love that everybody here greets you with a smile and makes you feel at home!! I will definitely keep coming back for happy hour !!

Ate here with my husband. Food was phenomenal. We ordered charbroiled oysters and each had sea bass as well. Everything came out in a timely manner. Our server Madelyn was great. She was knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful, hip and vibey restaurant in the cute city center of Ventura, just a few blocks up from the beach. The food was delicious and our service was supreme. Definitely recommend, especially if you enjoy seafood! I got the Sixty South Salmon with the Parmesan Potato Bake and Roasted Button Mushrooms. My partner got the Tequila Line Shrimp Pasta. Both were delightful! Comes with a free bread bowl.

My wife and I went Lure Fish House in Ventura on a Friday for happy hour, which is from 3 to 6 pm. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating options. The happy hour menu has many great options for food and drinks. We got the spicy ceviche and charbroiled oysters and they were fantastic. I was impressed by the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. We ordered the two different fish options the salmon and the mahi mahi. The fish was perfectly prepared. The sides were also very delicious. Overall we had an excellent dining experience. It is a perfect place to bring the family or go for date night! I am looking forward to my next time eating at Lure House to explore other options on the menu!

Great food and drinks. The atmosphere is clean and nice to look at. Service was wonderful. I have no complaints or suggestions other than you need to go!

Came here for my birthday celebration and it did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were so friendly and talkative. It was packed on a Friday night so definitely make sure to make a reservation or get there early. The bartender convinced us to get cocktails before our bottle of wine and the espresso martinis were delicious. We started off with the pop rock shrimp, which was so crispy and juicy and had a little kick with a Sriracha glaze. The oysters were delicious and decided on doing raw instead of charbroiled. We ended up splitting the Seabass and got a side of mushrooms, which paired really well together. Very fun downtown vibe. Make sure you dress up to come here as it is a little bit more upscale. It's pretty loud and crowded, but the booths in the dining room helped to give it a little tucked away feel

I came in on a Saturday evening around 6 with a party of 6 and was able to get a table within 15 minutes. There were seats at the bar while I waited and the bartenders were quick enough to make me a bloody Mary and my wife an espresso martini within our wait time. Bloody Mary runs around $16 and had a large shrimp. Olives. Celery, and horseradish...just the way I like it. Staff is extremely nice and easy to talk to. Food was exceptional. We ordered the oysters (raw and charred), lobster ravioli, shrimp lime pasta, shishito peppers, and crab cakes. Everything was chefs kiss...but shout goes out to the charred oysters. Those are a must try for seafood lovers. PRO TIP: Don't go directly home after...walk your food off at the promenade which is just around the block. If your a drinker there are also plenty of great bars down at the promenade as well.

This is my favorite place to eat in Ventura! I love fish and oysters and their selection is outstanding. I've eaten my way around the menu and it wasn't until my last trip that I found out they have happy hour M-F from 3-6pm! Prices are a few dollars less for the same size portions and drinks on the regular menu on a limited selection of items. I think I ordered everything on the limited happy hour menu! A stand out were the sliders, which I never would have ordered at a fish place, but with the caramelized onions, they were the best sliders I've ever eaten! I got an assortment of oysters and liked the Baja and pacific northwest ones the best. They offer all the usual condiments, and their mignonnette was great. Crisp calamari with fresh marinara, flavorful crab cakes, light clams with great basil broth, and surprisingly excellent fish tacos, both battered and grilled fish on heirloom masa tortillas with heaps toppings and a fiery hot sauce that were practically a meal in and of itself! I loved the Lure martini with absolut, freshly squeezed grapefruit and lime juice. Service was on point for every visit even when the rush came in for the last minutes of happy hour.

Each time we visit, the service is superb. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love the restaurant ambiance. Yesterday we sat the patio for the first time and unless it is cold or rainy, I will probably choose that option from now on. (Although happy hour doesn't apply to patio seating) The food is amazing. Every single item in the menu is great.

So excited I stopped here. So many locals recommended it. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked and flavorful. I could have eaten three bowls of the butternut squash. I sat at a high top near the bar. Ambiance was great. Service was quick and friendly. Wish I lived closer so I could go back!

Loved Lure Fish House! This has all the vibes of a modern seafood restaurant with oyster bar, and seafood galore. The overall vibe is upbeat yet classic modern. There is plenty of seating both indoor and outdoors (patio). I have to say that we were forgotten for a period of time as the hostess didn't inform the server from the oyster bar that we were in the mid patio. Despite this- the service was still good and friendly minus this mishap. The staff was incredibly apologetic and acknowledged their mishap. Onto the good food- the standout was the charbroiled oysters that have a dash of Parmesan and oil- so good! Definitely gives New Orleans vibes. We also opted for salmon and linguini both equally delicious- and nice portion sizes. Thanks for the great time!

Fresh fish restaurant located in the cute downtown of Ventura - just a short walk from the marina and pier. Our server Michael went above and beyond to help us when choosing items off their very large menu! He was very attentive and responsive - keeping our water and wine filled, and getting sides as needed! Ordered the Alaskan halibut with asparagus and their potato cake. The potato cake was so delicious - it's mashed potatos with a light crust around it after searing in a pan. Fish was cooked and seasoned very well with a light crust on the outside and flakey and white inside. Second dish was ono with fried Brussels sprouts and a light miso sauce (little too greasy and deep fried for my liking). We also had a potato cake with this one. The restaurant makes their own homemade tartar sauce - which is light, tangy and creamy! Table service also includes Sourdough bread served warm with butter - and was heaven! No GF bread, unfortunately. Highly recommend a stop next time you are in the area! Inside ambiance is super cute and modern. Very clean!

Great service! Had the Ventura Limoncello Martini. Sweet and tangy! Miso Salmon bowl with extra veggies. Clam chowder was creamy and filling. Loved the chewy clams and soft potatoes Great seasoning. Food was delicious! Also liked that we could talk even though the restaurant was busy. Not too noisy. Would go back!

Came here for dinner on a Saturday, and the wait was 40 minutes. Keep an eye out for texts and calls because they are strict about arriving on time when your table is ready (they will kick you off the waitlist if you're late) They gave us bread to start off the meal. The bread was warm and soft. We got the sea bass skewers for the appetizers (comes with 2 for $19 and $9 for each additional skewer). The sea bass wasn't very tender, and the sauce was too sweet. For my entree, I got the Cioppino ($35). The fish was unbelievably dry and hard. The soup also was watered down and lacked flavor. The mussels/clams were solid. The scallops and shrimp were tender. The Cioppino comes with this garlic bread, which was good. I tried my bf's ahi tuna, and I was surprised by the flavor and the tenderness. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the meal here, especially for the wait.

Lure Fish House is one of the most rated spots in Ventura and highly rated at that so we were eager to try it while visiting the area. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly. When we arrived for dinner on Thursday, the indoors was packed. We were quoted 35 minutes for a table but bar seating was open so we were able to snag something right away. We did get a text message 10 minutes later that a table was ready so the time estimate was pretty off. We started with a bloody mary and the pumpkin pie martini. Both drinks were pretty tasty, depending if you want something savory or sweet. Only comment is the shrimp topper for the bloody looked plump but was quite frozen. For food, we got a bowl of the Veracruz Fish Chowder which was a miss for us. It lacked a lot of depth and had minimal fish - tasted more like the bottom of the barrel and the bowl size was quite small. We also got the Pacific Rockfish Daily catch with sauteed mushrooms and the parmesan potato cake. The fish was overcooked but seasoned well and the tartare sauce was good. I really liked the potato cake which was griddled nicely and had i liked the veggies in there too. Would order that again! Overall, we had an OK food experience here and could likely be we just didn't like what we ordered so I would consider coming back and trying different items.

This is one of my top 3 favorite places in Ventura! The food is amazing, try the tequila like shrimp! The drinks are delicious! My favorite is the blueberry margarita! If I'm ever at a loss for where to go, this is the place! The service is excellent and the atmosphere is always fun and light! I can't say enough good things about lure! Must visit!

Amazing food you can never go wrong here The people are friendly the ambiance is great and the service is on time

Came here without any reservations on a Saturday night and had to wait roughly 30 minutes to get seated, which I didn't mind at all since there's a small waiting area inside the restaurant. This restaurant is huge, with seating indoors and outdoors. The ambiance was nice, it was definitely a busy restaurant but still had that cozy feel to it. The staff was nice and took care of us really well. She recommended dishes and always came by our table to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our food. Oysters (5/5): We got 2 rounds of oysters. I don't remember the type of oysters we got but our server helped us pick them out. The first ones (small) were so good and fresh that we ordered the second round of oysters (big). They were also really good, and I actually liked them better because there was more meat/substance to them. Highly recommend these. Ahi Ceviche (5/5): Delicious appetizer. The chips it came with was a nice driver of the ceviche. I thought everything came together really well. Tequila Lime Shrimp Pasta (5/5): Wow this dish was so good! I loved the sauce, it was so good! There was also sufficient amount of shrimp in the dish. The bread that it comes with was also good and was a nice addition to the dish or to be used to dip in the pasta sauce. We ordered two cocktails (I don't remember the names of them) but the blue drink was amazing. It wasn't strong in the alcohol taste which I personally like, and it was milky and a bit sweet. This restaurant exceeded expectations on all fronts, from the service to the ambience to the food. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back!

I found myself in Oxnard and wanted to find a good restaurant that highlighted California cuisine. Lure came up as the highest rated restaurant in Ventura, so I paid a visit. The bar offers the full menu, so I took a seat. The bartender brought freshly baked bread and I settled on the sand dabs for my main course and charbroiled oysters as an appetizer. I paired it with a local chardonnay. Sand dabs remind me quite a bit of Dover sole. The meal was fantastic, the wait staff were attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Awesome experience! If you're looking for a good spot for dinner in Ventura, this is a worthy choice.

I would like to say this is still my favorite restaurant . We went for Mother's Day weekend. For our appetizers we chose charbroiled oysters 2 orders as they are a hit with our family. We also have to get calamari as my youngest demands it every time. I had the Linguni with clams which was divine as usual. My husband is obsessed with the hanger steak. He said it always cooked to perfection. My son now gets off the adult menu which he thinks is the coolest thing ever he chose the pacific rock dish with a bowl of chowder and the sweet potato fries. My daughter's still eat off the kids menu, one had a burger and the other the fried shrimp. My husband and I usually stick to our regular drinks Cubano and the berry mule. We were too full for desert this time. Our food came out in a timely manner and our waitress was awesome as always. We did have a wait as it was Mother's Day weekend and of course everyone wants to go celebrate at lures so it was expected.

I have been wanting to try Lure in Ventura after having such a great experience at the Santa Barbara location a few years ago. Our server was Joel and he was such an attentive server. He made sure we got what we ordered, had fresh bread for us, made sure or drinks were refilled and provided our birthday girl a birthday dessert! I got the linguini with clams and it really hit the spot. I was looking forward to trying one of their pasta dishes and this was it. In addition to clams in the pasta already, it also served with fresh clams to de-shell. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavor was wonderful! Definitely need to come back sooner than a few years!

Came for dinner and there was a 20 minute wait even on a Sunday night. We were able to be seated right away though since we found a table at the bar. Service: Service here was pretty slow. It took a really long time for our food to come out. It also took a long time for our dishes to be cleared. It was hard to flag down staff when we needed something. We had to ask twice for ranch. Food: We ordered - * half dozen of oysters - oysters were very fresh and juicy * swordfish with french fries and maple miso brussels sprouts - the swordfish was so so to me but I really enjoyed the brussels sprouts * small new england clam chowder * Fresh Squeezed Lure Martini - very refreshing Pretty solid place that I think is worth trying if you're ever in the area.

Our car broke down on the way back to the Bay Area, so we decided to stay and enjoy the Ventura vibe. The Lure Fish house was awesome! Our server Britt was outstanding! Britt shared all the great items on the menu and some amazing cocktails. Britt's customer service is top notch. Oysters on the half shell and some great drink plus customer service. We are driving back to Ventura for another round. Thank you, Lure Fish House & Britt!

The food was absolutely awful today. Lure use to be amazing many years ago. It has downgraded their recipes over the past years. What was once a magical restaurant prior to the pandemic is now a restaurant with way overpriced mediocre food. My tuna tasted like flavorless rubber. They downgraded the calamari AND the clam chowder. Oh how I miss their signature chowder from years past. Today was our last visit after 13 years. Never again. TRUST ME, you will overpay. Don't go! The food sucks for what you spend. Promise. So sad.

Everything was delicious but I will especially return for the oysters and cocktails. Top tier oysters and cocktails! My swordfish was pretty good but slightly overcooked. The service was friendly but not super attentive and did keep forgetting things like water or the bread we requested but it was decent overall.

I've been coming to Lure for a number of years. The inconsistency seems to be a pattern at this location. 1. I'm giving it 2 stars because the staff at the bar tried to at least make it right. 2. The drinks, they get them right Asking anything out of ordinary must be hard for the non speaking English line cooks to comprehend. We like our charred oysters to be done well. Not rubbery Not burned black Not having to send it back twice We like our food to come out in an order. You know, appetizers first, so that the main dishes don't get cold and we don't have to rush through the appetizers. A Restaurant is an experience. Here is our experience...This is the third time in a row, oysters were done incorrectly. Better yet, the person that took our order didn't place it. Second time in a row appetizers came out at the same time as the main dishes! If I hadn't of asked, I wouldn't care. But, I did ask! They still got it wrong. Seriously, either train your employees better or hire people with better skills! Otherwise, you're going to be serving plates and not get paid. Eventually, we will get tired of the same mistakes and go other places!

If we are ever in Ventura again we are coming back here. Yes, it's a little pricier but you really do get what you pay for. The first night we ordered just clam chowder and drinks bc it was just that kind of night. The following night we ordered a feast lol. We came during happy hour and ordered their watermelon margarita and the berries one. We tried the mussels, clams, poke bowl, lobster roll, calamari, and the lobster ravioli. I'll list my top faves to the not so great 1. The mussels were fresh, plump and so tasty. They came in a delicious red sauce- dip the bread they give you in this sauce. YW 2. The lobster roll had huge pieces of lobster and came in a perfectly toasted roll. This was so worth it. 3. The clams were flavorful but a little saltier than I'd like. Also dip your bread in this sauce. 4. Poke bowl was just ok apparently- my daughter said. 5. The drinks were good but could have been a little stronger. They were on the lighter side. 6. I ordered the lobster ravioli bc it's one of their popular dishes, but it was my least fave. There wasn't enough lobster in the ravioli and the sauce was just ok for me. 7. I usually love calamari. This one was bland and lacked some flavor. It was also pretty oily. I wasn't a fan. Overall, we had a great experience dining here. The servers were super friendly both of the times we visited. The seating is comfortable and family friendly and the lighting is great for dates. It has a very relaxing and chill ambiance that we really appreciated. They also have an oyster bar but we didn't make our way over.

My honey and i walked in, we were immediately greeted and were seated almost immediately. We had to try their oysters on the half shell so we ordered a half dozen that way we each got to try one of each from their selection. They were very fresh, some much smaller then others but quite good. We also ordered the calamari with jalapeños, nothing to write home about. They were ok but nothing special. We also had cocktails, i had the tequila martini with fresh jalapeño, the name slips my mind but it was fantastic! He ordered the blueberry basil margarita which was also fantastic! We then shared a bowl of the New England clam chowder which was very good! It was chunky with a nice amount of clams, potatoes and a rich creamy texture. The ambiance is very nice! Soft lighting, nice artwork on the walls and comfortable! Our server, Michael was quite professional with a great personality. I would definitely come back to Lure Fish House to try more things from the menu and would recommend it.

If I'm going to visit the Lure, the Downtown Ventura location will always be my #1 pick. Love the location, love the vibe, and love the food. Realistically, happy hour (M-F 3-6p) is where it's at here. They have some great happy hour food and drinks at good prices. Their Pan Roasted mussels are some of my favorite - generous portion with a delicious sauce that's great for dipping. Other favorite include their oysters (of course!), ahi ceviche, and crispy calamari. Off their regular menu, their lobster roll and cioppino are also big hits. No matter what we order, their fish is always tastes fresh and full of flavor. Their Red Sangria will always be my go-to drink here. Sangria can be hit or miss, but their sangria is one of my favorites. Can really taste that sweeter, fruiter flavor, and it doesn't taste watered down. They also offer sourdough bread and butter as a starter - don't forget to ask for it! Super yummy. Parking can be a bit rough here if it's a busy time. You can usually find parking in the parking structure, and Lure does have it's own dedicated parking area inside you can look for. Great choice for dinner, whether it be on a date, with friends, with family, or solo. Whichever way you spin it, you will leave satisfied and happy.

Customer service done right. After a mixed bag of emotions leaving my last visit at Lure Fish House, the manager, Reagan, was quick to respond to my review and reach out in regards to my experience. She sincerely apologized for my previous visit and inquired more in depth about my concerns--showing genuine care for the restaurant's growth. She then invited me back to dine at the fish house, and took the time to seat my party & gave me a hearty welcome. Our server, Kaitlynn, was absolutely delightful. She consistently made sure that our waters were refilled, food came correctly, and we were comfortable. The seafood is always fresh here and with the improved service this second time around, I was 100% satisfied. Thank you so much for caring about your customers and building this positive relationship!

It's a beautiful day in Ventura. We had a recommendation for Lure. They have an outside dining area. Our server, Genesis, took our order of miso maple glazed sea bass. We got some fries and clam chowder to share. The food is excellent. The service. And there's nothing better than enjoying a lunch in the fresh air. If you're in Ventura, you gotta try this place.

普通的日子，被記錄下來就是特別的，生活沒有暫停近，但照片有，我努力的記錄著，因為生活純粹，就是喜樂～ Northridge 長大的我， 來到Ventura 有點像是回到家鄉的感覺， 非常的親切，只是當時這邊還沒有這麼多漂亮的餐廳，這個鏡台的地方，我好喜歡這一家海鮮餐廳，不只裝潢漂漂亮亮，我來他們的happy hour , 東西也非常好吃， 殼殼新鮮， 蝦子也很大一隻， 麵包也不錯（應該是餓壞了），才會啥都滿意，服務員也非常有禮貌， 很棒的餐廳，可惜，離我遠了些，不然可以常常過去呢！

Overall the service and decor of the restaurant were amazing. Loved the feeling ocean feeling. We ordered the Sally Sand Dabs and the Tequila Like Shrimp Pasta. Both were rich in flavor, but felt too rich. The first bites of the fish were amazing, but the butter taste got a bit much. The pasta was great at first but was hard to finish.

A Tuesday lunch not overly busy and we were seated immediately! Bryce our server was very pleasant and accommodating to our needs! 3 in our party and we ordered a few different items for lunch! I ordered the Baja Cod Tacos organic corn tortillas, cilantro cream & spicy claw which came with a side of Black Beans! Linguine & Clams, parsley, lemon, white wine , olive oil w chili de arbol & a Bowl of NE Clam Chowder with a couple of Bacon Cheddar Biscuits All meals were excellent and very enjoyable. Love the Lure Fish Housr

OMG! Thank you Andrea! We received the T-shirt! I never had a business follow through on their yelp promise Thank you, Lure Fish House! You are doing great. I will definitely stop by when i visit Ventura. Pretty sure your business will contentiously doing great. Keep it up!

This restaurant really hit the spot while we were coming back from a road trip. Fresh and high quality seafood. It does get pretty packed on the weekends and we definitely see why. Thoroughly impressed with both the food and the overall experience. We started with a bowl of the clam chowder. It was creamy but not too heavy. The bits of bacon in the chowder were a nice savory touch. The potatoes were cooked to perfection with just enough bite. The star of the show was my main dish, the salmon burger. This burger was a beast. Perfectly seasoned and cooked salmon. It was both juicy and super flavorful. Brioche bun just put it over the top. I decided to switch the fries to sweet potato fries and that decision was heaven. Super crispy and a tad sweet. Loved the experience here. The staff was friendly and attentive. Exceeded my expectations.

We walk in 30 minutes after 3 PM. We get seated right away at the oyster bar. We are promptly asked for a drink & appetizers. Happy hour is time to be there 3 PM to 6 PM Monday through Friday or Sundays, 1130 to 5 PM. Me and my wife love this place. Today we got Crab cakes Fish and Shrimp Tacos and for dessert Blueberry Cobbler w ice cream the best! We will be back service is always on point. Ambiance is always relaxing.

So glad to finally make it back this month to the Lure Fish House Ventura! What's more, this location is now totally dog friendly!!!!! The food here has always been amazing and it's even better now that they have a outdoor dining that allows dogs! During our visit "Will" was our Server and he was truly FANTASTIC! He was solidly professional, knowledgeable, helpful with the seating and menu, and awesomely cheerful, efficient, and friendly. He truly deserves the Server Of The Year award and Lure is fortunate to have him on their staff! The dishes here were spectacular, as always! We truly loved their Oysters, Dungeness Crab Cocktail, Ceviche, Halibut, and Salmon! Their Mimosas and Desserts also rocked awesomely! Next time I think I'll get two orders of their Oysters and their Sanddabs! Thanks again Lure for another classy seafood dining experience. See you next time we're up in Ventura on our next surf safari!

I went for an early dinner so there was no wait. I love the location. Lots of free street parking. I was greeted immediately and seated outside as I requested. I love tge large outdoor space as it doesn't feel like the tables are on top of each other. The server came quickly with bread and water. He was very friendly. I asked for suggestions for the seasonal seafood dishes and chose King salmon. The grilled salmon was a generous portion, not overcooked which I appreciated. For my two sides I chose cilantro corn salad and asparagus. It was hard to choose as they all looked great. I had a great dining experience and I shall return to this great local spot.

Even though it's located on a side street, it's really in the heart of the pedestrian mall. This restaurant is quite popular and busy, so plan accordingly. They have service down to a science, but not particularly friendly. According to their website, there is free parking on the second level of the parking structure behind the restaurant. We shared their Daily Catch, Swordfish, see my pic. This swordfish steak, flaked apart, was grilled just right (again see my pic) and was lightly seasoned. It was a bit over cooked on the edges but was quite moist in the center. The side of sautéed spinach was tender and the spinach was slightly sweet. Also pictured is the Parmesan Potato Cake. While this had a nice crunch on the outside and soft interior, but it didn't have very much flavor. We also shared the Lobster Ravioli. If you look carefully at my pic, you'll see the ravioli has a black stripe, which made with squid ink. The ravioli is large sized and has succulent lobster meat inside. As seen in the picture, the sauce was creamy and broiled: adding a depth of heartiness to the mild and creamy dish.

There are so many delicious places to choose from when dining at the beach, but the three of us decided this was the spot. The service was outstanding, and the food was fresh and delicious. We ate a lot and enjoyed every bite. The steak was perfectly cooked and so tender that a knife wasn't even necessary. The lobster roll with melted butter was rich and flavorful. We will definitely return on our next visit. * We sat outside and they had nice heaters, keeping us warm. * 45 minute wait and definitely worth it *Michael was our server 7/27/24

Amazing food. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Love the options of indoor or outdoor seating. Start with the tuna ponzu! Soo delicious. My favorite are the fish tacos!

THE CHARBROILED OYSTERS ARE FINGER LICKING GOOD! I love they are o. The happy hour menu! Load them up with a-lot of lemon and tabasco and the flavors just melt in your mouth. The garlic and parsley, oh my, amazing! Im drooling just thinking about them. I never ate oysters before but these there are something else!!!

Food was out of this world! My wife had the sand dabs and I had the seared ahi. Yum!! Sides are excellent too! Great experience at the bar. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

One of my favorite spots, we got here just in time for happy hour, we asked front desk to be seated at the bar. Very nice gentlemen ! We sat at the bar self seating, bartender took good care of us. He took our order immediately. Got our drinks took our food order ! We grabbed a few items from happy hour menu. Everything was perfect ! Delicious. I love their clam chowder. The shrimp taco was amazing. All the food was so good. Place wasn't so loud. It was really nice. I love that everybody here greets you with a smile and makes you feel at home!! I will definitely keep coming back for happy hour !!

Great seafood! Ceviche was very spicy, but I love spicy. The place is pretty busy, but we got lucky to see at the bar without no reservation. And the ambience and people around were beautiful, beautiful!

Hmmm - service was good and my overpriced drink was delicious. Warm bread was great! Artichoke was ok - needed to be steamed more. Spicy shrimp pasta -shrimp was good - pasta was meh. Total cost for two $100 not including tip.

Love this place. I think it's better than Brophy Bros and I like Brophy Bros. Better clam chowder. I like the popcorn shrimp better than Brophys calamari. And the prices are better. Of course you don't have the harbor view but I don't mind. It's a nice calm classy environment. Great service. I went on Easter and it was no problem.

Service was great, very attentive ! The outside seating was great for my larger group. The food here is always good, my pasta had rich flavor but I did ask for Tapatio to the side as I think it would have actually taken flavor away. The shrimp was cooked well and flavor was great with pasta. I wish it did have grated Parmesan cheeses. The bread is always on spot !

The front host was beyond kind and showed me two table options because I'm pregnant and asked which I would be seated more comfortably in. I appreciate that kind of consideration. Our waiter Katherine was so sweet. She made sure to ask if anyone in our party had any allergies. I ordered the linguini but instead of clams did the shrimp. All cooked perfectly. I looooooved the calamari I could have ordered another order of just that. The sourdough bread for the table was delicious. Everytime we're in town we stop by here. Such a nice vibe.

Always a great experience. Food and staff always on it and great at what they do. Thanks for being part of ventura what a great thing. One thing you should think about is your music selection. Should be more of its 5 o'clock somewhere vibe

Yummy food, great service, super fun vibe and great crowd. Love every Lure, but this is a really fun location, especially before a show at the Majestic. Definitely go to this Lure, it's the best!!

Great place with nice indoor seating Food was very good, fresh fish with great variety Good servers, on top of it and very friendly

This time we came here for happy hour. They have a great happy hour open seating menu. We sat at the oyster bar where we could watch the chefs in action and the dodgers on the televisions. The wait staff was awesome. They gave us time to decide what we wanted. We order the pop rock shrimp and the clam chowder from the starter menu. We also order the beets and pecan salad off the dinner menu. Everything was delicious. The pop rock shrimp was the best shrimp dish I have ever had. The New England Clam Chowder was just as yummy and the salad was fresh and tasty. The portions were large enough to share. We order a glass of Chardonnay and the Mixed Berry Mojito. The Mojito was exactly what I was hoping for. A Mojito with lots of fresh berries and the rum was spot on. The wait staff checked in on us to see if we wanted to order anything else before happy hour ended which was very thoughtful. We were full so we ended the night then. This is a large restaurant with lots of seating, however it was full on a Monday evening. The restrooms were clean and there is street parking and plenty of free public parking lots throughout the area.
