Dined here after a trip to the Channel Island, and we were pretty hungry! Restaurant is beautifully decorated, server was pleasant and helpful. There were some interesting side dishes. Our meals of Trout Almondine and Seared Ahi each came with two sides so we tried...pineapple coleslaw, sautéed spinach, cheddar potato cake and French fries. We enjoyed every bite !More

Ate at Lure-Ventura a decade ago; gave it a 5-star review back then and looked forward to returning. Lunch this time around was no less wonderful: beautifully spiced Veracruz fish chowder, hearty mango ceviche and superbly grilled local swordfish. Servers were cordial but not obtrusive...in this comfortable modern setting.More

We came for early Saturday dinner, “lured” by high-rated reviews and the promise of a tasty fresh fish. Easy parking at the free public garage practically next door. Even at 3:30 pm this cavernous restaurant was packed and hopping. From our table at a corner...of the oyster bar we had a good view of the busy shucking behind the counter. The rich currant flavor #10?Spain cab was superb. My 1/2 dozen oysters were fresh and tasty, an ephemeral joy! Chowder was savory, as expected. Kudos to the chefs for seasoning and cooking the fish perfectly on a busy night: our fish & chips and grilled rockfish were immensely flavorful and delicious! The sides of sweet potato fries and spinach and pineapple enriched coleslaw all garnered best supporting actor awards. Eddy, our friendly, hardworking server, took good care of us. An enjoyable and memorable visit.More

We have eaten seafood at the Westlake, Camarillo and Ventura locations. The clam chowder is some of the best we have ever eaten. Of course, the halibut, rockfish and other seafood is also fantastic. We like the ambiance at all locations but especially the Westlake...location.More

Then began our food taste buds explosion! We ordered the Ahi Tuna accompanied by spinach and lime cilantro...rice and the freshly caught sea bass with a side of this incredible potato concoction and another veggie.

Our dinner at Lure was wonderful. Everyone loved their food…we all had the cod: two had the Ling Cod and one the fried. One cod was blackened, the other was pan fried with panko, lemon sauce and capers. Eddie at the Ventura location was the...best server we ever had. His smile and attitude were contagious. I expect he will do great things with the amazing attitude and joy he spreads. My sister’s husband also forgot his credit card and Eddie ran quite far to find us in the midst of a halloween street celebration. We were as impressed with Eddie as we were with the food! Eddie for Mayor!!More

We had dinner on a Thursday night at Lure. It is a very popular and busy place, even with us arriving before 6pm. Their hosting process was very efficient and because we were fine outside, we were seated within 10 minutes. Service was good. Server...recommended the Dabs and they were a home run, right out of the park. Delicious and unique dish that we had never seen offered before. We'd order them again. Also had the Cioppino and for my taste buds, way too spicy. But the server said it is spicy when hubby ordered and he loved it. So also a home run for him. The Key Lime Pie was also very good. Excellent graham cracker crust and the most tart of filling. Only miss was our Miso Glazed Sea Bass starter. It just lacked flavor and was bland. Since the other foods were great, we expect it was just an off night for that one dish.More

They do, but the restaurant is more suited to adults. It's quite sophisticated and we've never seen children there. Not sure how children woukd be tolerated.
