I had dinner at the Lure Fish House in Ventura, Ca last night and I loved the Wild Yellow Fin Tuna. The sides were also delicious. The place has a nice vibe with singles, couples, groups and families. Its a little noisy in the front bar , so I opted for the dining area (I was alone). The staff are... More

Great food, amazing atmosphere, wonderful service. No wonder there is a line out the door. I ordered at the bar and had the best service by Diana. She is a talented bartender. She made me one of her special drinks. Just ask her to make you one of her specialties you won't be disappointed. The food is fantastic and one... More

Being new to Ventura we were extremely satisfied after dining at Lure Fish House. The first thing we noticed was the atmosphere. Very clean, hip and contemporary. They even have a private dining room inside the wine room. Our waitress informed us that everything is made fresh daily. Score! Our fish was cooked perfectly and was not fried (a common... More

With family in Ventura, I have now found a new favorite place to go while in town! We've been twice now and both times the meals were wonderful. The ceviche is enough for 4 or more and delicious, as were the crab cakes. Everyone I was with enjoyed their fish and raved about the scallops. The place is still the... More

Great place but arrive early (Five or earlier) or be put on a list to wait for a table. They don't take reservations. Get the arctic char or the cioppino. To die for. The wine list is not bad and reasonable. Service was good but could have been better--very busy place. The bar is huge and in the middle of... More

My daughter and I dropped in the Lure Fish House in Ventura for a quick appetizer and bottle of wine prior to seeing Les Miserables. The Lure Fish House in Ventura is new to the Ventura area but has at least two other restaurants that I know of. We were seated at the oyster bar and ordered the Ahi Ceviche... More

My husband and I had a great time at Lure and were surprised at how lively the place was. I usually think of Ventura as being a little sleepy but this place was hopping on a Saturday night. We shared a bunch of things -- a spicy Manhattan clam chowder which I loved, delicious crab cakes, a salad and then... More

The Lure Fish House in Ventura is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. Ate there for lunch and the lunch prices were reasonable. There were four in our party, and we all ate the same thing- fish and chips. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, polite, and not overbearing. The clam chowder was hot and... More
