    Fish taco
    Jennifer H.

    My first visit to Dukes to enjoy a little lunch with a friend. The business has a lot of beach character. The staff were very nice and the food was great! There was so much to choose from. And we finished off the afternoon with a walk on the beach!

    New England Clam Chowder in a bread bowl
    Ryan E.

    One of my go-to spots whenever I come to Ventura, Duke's always has great food, especially the soups. During a two-day getaway trip, I came to Duke's twice....first having the New England Clam Chowder in a bread bowl, then later, a grilled cheese sandwich paired with tomato soup in a bread bowl. It's a very relaxing atmosphere, with an outdoor patio, and the staff, especially Clover, did a fantastic job!! Thank you, Duke's!! Until the next go-around!!!

    Bacon Mushroom burger with homemade chips
    Scott P.

    - located just off the beach, this local spot offers very good food, sassy waitstaff and a Spotlessly Clean environment. The bacon mushroom burger is terrific (comes with homemade potato chips) as well as the chili verde stew. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any entree. We're lucky to have this joint next to the beach. if you want to order food, just order and pay up front then grab a seat. The bar is its own separate entity ...order and pay for cocktails/beer there. Offers outside seating for people and pets - about as "chill" CA vibe as you'll ever find :)

    Ceviche - 10/10!  Best beer pairing too
    Danielle G.

    Great little beach spot! I had the ceviche and it was so delicious! Served with homemade tortilla chips. Everyone in our group loved their food, and enjoyed some 805 Cerveza with it. Definitely recommend stopping here!

    Clam chowder was ok
    Dolores P.

    Finally after 10 years I've got to try Dukes. The Bronx burger was really yummy. Chicken wings were nice and crisp. They have counter style dining so you'll go in order, then go take a seat. Nice spot to grab a bite when going to the beach and don't want to drive off anywhere.

    Best Bloody Mary
    Rebecca G.

    This is a cool spot. We've always enjoyed coming in here! This was the first time we came when they had live music and the band was good and so was the sound! A lively bunch of what appeared to be regulars! Definitely look forward to coming back to enjoy some more live music here. Unfortunately, the NY Pastrami sandwich that I got made me pretty sick. Within a couple hours of eating, it hit me... was pretty ill throughout the night and the next morning. I've ordered this a couple other times before and never had a problem so I'm sure it was the sandwich. Such a bummer!

    Fish n chips  and clam chowder bread bowl! Yum!
    Mari Q.

    Love the food here! Service was great and got our food fairly quick. The ambiance is great.....It's Monday night an and the football game is on all their monitors so Very happy customers cheering for their teams! Love coming here .

    Definitely a great place to stop for lunch if you're in the area! This was honestly some of the best fish and chips we've ever had. The batter was really flavorful and light, and the fries were perfectly cooked. There was a lot of fish and not too much breading which we appreciated. The clam chowder wasn't stellar so I'd probably order something else next time but the fish and chips more than made up for it. The vibe is very low key and relaxed and is really close to the water if you wanted to take a walk over after eating. Parking can be tricky so definitely give yourself enough time.

    ceviche & poke tacos

    Our favorite place to eat in Ventura! The ceviche is a sleeper hit, but everything is great. Additionally they're just the nicest people. My daughter forgot her bag last time we ate there and they packed it up and shipped it to LA for us. I love this place.

We came at the brunch hour so we ordered off their brunch menu. I got the Breakfast sandwich and my friend got a breakfast burger. We opted for just water today. My breakfast sandwich was as you imagined an egg sandwich to be. Cooked egg, 2 slices of bacon with aioli sauce on a toasted brioche bun. I got a side of hash-browns instead of fries. I would have preferred my hash browns to have a bit of a crisper crust but they were bad. My friend substituted sweet potato fries for the regular fries. The service was pretty good. Our waitress did check on us once our food arrived but didn't bother to refill our waters at all during our meal. I loved the low key vibe of the place. At least the patio seating. Just as we were about to leave there was a large party coming in which was a reserved table because we saw "reserved signs on it" and I heard the waitress asked how many dogs were there and the said 3. So I guess it's a pretty dog friendly patio which is a plus for dog owners.

It is great for any special occasion and offers inside and outside dining. I suggested this restaurant to my out of town guests to celebrate my dear friend's birthday. Rumfish did not disappoint.

Everything from appetizers to dessert is fresh and first class. Seafood options are plentiful and seasoned perfectly. The only downside is that parking is limited - only one handicapped spot for two busy restaurants. No parking signs prevent street parking up Palm.

The restaurant has a really cute Mediterranean/Italian vibe with gorgeous lemon trees and comfy patio seating. It was chilly outside, but the heaters made it comfortable. Staff was friendly, just very busy because of the holiday. Food took around an hour, but understandable for Mother's Day. The food was excellent. I got the flatbread with apricot jam and bacon, and it was such a good mix of sweet and savory with fresh arugula on top. Definitely recommend it. My boyfriend got the wagyu burger medium with fries and everything was cooked perfectly and served hot. Other people at our table got shrimp and corn, fish tacos, and burgers, and everything looked really good. Great place, will come back

In Ventura's industrial area, the Cave is a nice, cozy restaurant that is hidden in the Ventura Wine Company shop. We were greeted by live music which made a lively atmosphere. They have the self vending wine machine with a decent variety of wines for all. I'm going to be honest - I did question the pour size. We ended up buying a bottle of wine at dinner instead and I'm pretty sure that was the economical choice plus it gave me peace of mind. I will say - the plating of the food is strange. Giant plates for small portions never really sits well with me. The kitchen's "thinly sliced" waygu steak was also off putting visually. The Jumbo Scallops w/Leek & Truffle Risotto ($46) is a must order. Scallops perfectly pan seared and that risotto I would eat by itself. The Lemon Chardonnay sauce was incredible. The Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs ($39) was okay. The meat fell apart as it should. The red wine sauce was okay but lacked depth. The creamy mashed potatoes were very good and seasoned perfectly. Wasn't mad that I tried it but would not order again. Wagyu Top Sirloin 12 oz. ($48) was very good despite the poor slicing. The creamy mushroom sauce was perfect to add some flavor but not overpower the protein. The Pepperoni Pizza ($18) was decent for my son. My daughter planned to order the Seafood Pasta until she saw all of her favorite things combined: Mac and cheese, bacon and pizza - the Mac and Cheese Pizza ($21) was honestly top notch. It wasn't overly heavy, the depth of flavor was great and it's extremely tasty. The spicy aioli was top notch. Overall, a good experience at the Cave. I recommend giving it a try.

Our server was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the oysters, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. Started with oysters. The Morro Bay oysters were definitely my favorite. Buttery, clean, and super easy to eat. 5/5. We also tried another variety that the server described as more briny and oceany, which ended up not really being my thing, but I appreciated the honest recommendation beforehand. The New England clam chowder was great. Rich, creamy, comforting, and they offered fresh ground pepper to your liking at the table which was a nice touch. 5/5. I ordered the cod fish and chips and the cod itself was excellent. Light crispy batter, flaky fish, not greasy at all. Definitely the standout entrée for me. 5/5. The dill horseradish sauce was also fantastic and paired perfectly with the fish. 5/5. Only disappointment of the meal was the fries. They came out soft and soggy instead of crispy. Ate maybe 3 fries and left the rest behind. 1/5 on those unfortunately. One thing worth mentioning: my friend paid the tab and always leaves a flat 10% tip no matter what. The service here deserved much more than that, so I ended up leaving extra cash on the table because our server genuinely did a great job. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Ventura.
