Had an amazing dinner this evening at Lure in Camarillo. Carla was our amazing server. Carla was kind, efficient, thorough, professional and attentive. Samantha assisted with food delivery and was professional and kind as well. We also visited with Oreana "Ory", the GM, such a special, authentic and amazing individual. The ambiance was popping hot and upbeat. We started with drinks and appetizers. My wife had the grilled artichoke and I had the New England clam chowder. For entrees we both had the halibut entree with spinach and my wife had rice and I had the potato cake which I split with her. We had ice tea and water. What a nice time and great people, food and ambiance. Highly recommended read more

The best lure fish of all time. Everyone is super friendly, food is so good, parking everywhere. Tried sitting at their oyster bar and felt like a fish out of water, but it was a fun time. Had the 3 for $9 oysters, (grassy bar, wildcat, and lava) all were really good though very distinct. I think grassy bar was the favorite of the group. Clams were so delicious, the garlic bread paired with it was perfect. Tacos were fresh and just perfectly cooked. Clam chowder was an unfortunate meh. Nothing negative but nothing crazy. But out of the 4 lure house locations I've been to, this one is my absolute favorite. read more

We had a very lovely lunch here for my sister's birthday. They sat us at the indoor patio which was nice. It did get a little warm at times, but then there were breezes and they had fans that kept us cool. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The food was good. It tasted fresh and everything came out HOT! The food did lack some seasoning for us. But it was by no means bad. Our faves were the fish and chips, and pasta. They brought my sister a little sundae for her birthday. All in all it was a nice afternoon there. read more

We chose Lure Fish House to have a family celebration; not a first visit for my wife and me but a first time which included our 4yr old. One of the reason we chose Lure is their extensive kid menu. For little one we ordered her the sliders (small burger) and fries which she enjoyed. We asked the server to bring our little one's meal as soon as possible and it arrived a few min before the appetizers ( really fast). We were given plenty of time to enjoy our appetizers of crab cakes, popcorn shrimp and shrimp cocktail before our entrees arrived. My wife loves shrimp and loved especially the shrimp cocktail for its freshness and the shrimp popcorn for its crunch and texture. The crab cakes for me were the best, lots of meat with not too much filler, delicious! I ordered the fried Cod with the fried shrimp and a side of slaw and cauliflower pesto. Wow what a delicious filling meal! The beer batter for the fish and the shrimp was amazing! As Crispy and crunchy as I was hoping while not tasting or having an oily residue. The slaw had a hint of pineapple and the cauliflower pesto was (to me) an inspired combination. My wife had the hanger streak and enjoyed every bite...even commenting about the deliciousness of the meal days later. Lastly, the service Jaime, our server, provided was very good, she had a patient rapport with our 4yr old and was attentive to our table without being pushy or aggressive....she was busy and yet managed to make us feel cared for. As a family we had a great experience and won't hesitate to come back or recommend the restaurant to our friends and family. read more

Wonderful meal with friends and family. The 10 of us were comfortably seated in a private room adjacent to the bar. Service was friendly and relatively fast. We enjoyed fresh seafood that tasted good and fairly priced. My go to is the cioppino. Variety of fresh fish and shellfish in a savory broth. Also recommend the Lure Martini. read more

We came for the happy hours on Sunday. We got there around 1:30pm and found a table at the bar. We got raw oysters, grilled oysters, calm chowder, shrimps ceviche and a mussel appetizer. All dishes were well prepared and delicious. Friendly service. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

The bomb, nobody else makes a bloody Mary as good as Lure. Delicious for Sunday happy hour.

Top five meals of my year, easily! Went with a big group, so we were able to dine privately. Portions were great and pricing was really good for a seafood house. We ordered a couple of dishes to share and were all pretty full after with leftovers. My friends had just run a half marathon and the team brought us dessert to celebrate on the house! Super sweet servers on top of a great meal. My top picks were the ceviche and fish and chips (the shrimp and chips were fried perfectly). I also loved the ravioli, but I imagine it may be too heavy/creamy for some. read more

New Years Eve family dinner -- such a beautiful experience! -We took the kids to Lure for our NYE family dinner and are so glad we did! We arrived right before 5pm, beat the wait, and were seated instantly in the bar area (first come, first serve -- which worked out perfectly). We chose Lure because we love the ambiance -- it's always spotless, the service is consistently great, the atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and the food quality never disappoints. We enjoyed strawberry basil elixirs, bacon biscuits with goat cheese, hanger steak with cilantro chimichurri sauce, brussels sprouts (so rich in flavor!), oysters, a Caesar salad, and the maple-glazed salmon plate. Everything was absolutely delicious and so well prepared. Even though it was understandably busy for NYE, our server Karla was amazing -- attentive, kind, and on top of everything, along with the hostess and bussers. Everyone left with full tummies, lots of laughs, and big smiles. And bonus -- they also have a phenomenal happy hour with a great selection! 10/10 stars -- thank you, Lure, for giving us such a memorable NYE family experience! read more

I love coming here. The food and drinks are always consistent and the happy hour is great. My favorites are the char broiled oysters, fresh oysters and the mussels w/ sausage. Must save room for the best hot fudge sunday too! A few nights ago was our first time sitting at the oyster bar. Big shout out to Joaquin for taking such good care of us. Not only is he attentive but very knowledgable about the oysters. We had a few good laughs too! read more

What a beautiful location both outside and in! Love the decor inside, really a warm and inviting atmosphere. I made it for happy hour and tried a few offerings. I ordered the Anacapa tower and a Baja fish taco. The fish taco was solid, not too different from a fish taco you could get elsewhere but a solid choice I would happily get again. The tower came with a few different items. The oysters I opted to order 1 of each option, of those the Volcano Bay and Grassy Bar were the standouts. The shrimp cocktail, I love that the cocktail sauce was seemingly made in house, unfortunately the shrimp was too overcooked and very watery, covered with horseradish and cocktail sauce they were passable but I wouldn't order those again. The shrimp ceviche was very clean and light and overall very tasty! It did lack some salt but was perfect with some hot sauce added. Lastly was the tuna ponzu which was a tad heavier than the ceviche but still a light bite, this was a bit too overpowering on its own but paired with the accompanying chips it made a truly perfect bite! Overall I would recommend the place and when I'm in the area I would happily come back! read more

The food is always delicious when we come in. Tonight we had the salmon with Brussel sprouts and lime rice. I was amazed at how yummy the Brussel sprouts were. Everything was perfect. The service was phenomenal, we sat at the oyster bar and loved it. We had a party of 4. The ambiance was a modern seafood upscale vibe. Very romantic. read more

Went on Saturday around noon as a party of 5 and was able to be seated right away. Our waitresses were attentive throughout our meal I got the crispy fish sandwich with sweet potato fries (you can choose one side). The fish was 2 of their fried ling cod pieces, which is what you get from their fish and chips. I would have preferred one filet as it would've been easier to eat and not as thick of a sandwich. On top is white cheddar cheese, a pineapple slaw and tartar sauce. The cheddar cheese wasn't too strong, the pineapple slaw was good and the pineapple added a nice sweet balance and the tartar sauce wasn't too strong or much either. The bread was a very soft and buttery brioche. It was a heavy sandwich overall so by the end, I just took off some of the bread. The sweet potato fries were perfectly sweet, crispy and soft and well salted! I'm glad I got to try this place and it looks like there are a lot of other good options too! read more

Our go to restaurant when we are in Camarillo. Excellent and consistent food, service, ambiance. Never fails to deliver. Had the Faroe island salmon, which was fantastic, along with the tequila lime pasta. Both Home Runs. Fantastic value for your money. Plenty of parking. Also, Kimberly who served us had such a pleasant personality,always smiling and checking with us many times, even though the place was packed. Such an asset for this establishment. read more

Problem: The food service and ambience of Lure Fish House in Camarillo is generally excellent. I had an unfortunate experience with a manager the other day and wish to speak to Mr. Cortina directly in hopes of a better future experience regarding health and safety. read more

Everything was fantastic on this visit. My friend and I both thought the chowder was one of the best we'd had. Service was cheery, but she acknowledged she was very busy. Ambience is beachy, perfectly matching the cuisine. We loved every menu item: charbroiled oysters, clam chowder, crab cakes and the key lime pie. The sangria with brandy and St. Germain was perfection. read more

What a great to end 2025 with a trip to Lure! We started out with the Grilled oysters and we could have several healing of those and the. Real would have been PERFECTO! I went away from my tried and true Cioppino and had Fish & chips! Exquisite to say the least! Juicy, fluffy and not greasy at all! The blueberry crumble pie again blew us away! We came back on 1/1/26 for two more pieces! Service by Dan was excellent and I even called the manager over to say how much we were enjoying our meal and the service! I came back the manager Ori hooked us up with a free piece of pie! Do t be afraid to tell a manager people are doing a wonderful job. They love that feedback! Lure is always a bustling interesting place. The bar was full and our wait for a table of 2 was about 15 minutes! Lure's vibe fits Camarillo to a tee! Great place! Thanks Lure for making NYE great! read more

Amazing service as always. Loved my charbroiled oysters cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere for catching up with friends. Cocktails were great. read more

My family and I have visited the Lure Fish House restaurant in Ventura, but we hadn't been to this location before. They don't take reservations for small parties, but we didn't have a problem getting a table even during a busy day for them. We were promptly seated, and our waitress came over and gave us menus, my kids a small toy, water, and complimentary bread. We love the bread; it's always warm and delicious. Once we were ready, we placed our orders. I love their Lure Cioppino and a red wine sangria. My Cioppino was a very generous portion with fire-roasted tomato broth, fish, clams, mussels, scallops, and Mexican shrimp. I enjoyed my meal so much. I'm glad they don't skim on the seafood; I was even able to share a bit with my kids. My sangria was also very tasty. My husband loved his rockfish and sides! I tasted some of it, and it was so good. My kids also liked their kids' meals. The service was excellent! Our waitress lets us know that they are better than the Ventura location, of course, haha! This location also has beautiful decor and ample seating. I loved both locations. I'm glad we were able to try them out. read more

Just returned to Lure after a few years, and wow, what a wonderful experience! Stopped in on a Monday night with my husband for Happy Hour. We were able to find seating at a high top around the bar. The Happy Hour menu is incredible - so many options at very reasonable prices. My husband had the Tangerine Dream and he must have enjoyed it because it was immediately gone. I had the Happy Hour pinot noir - it was smooth and for $10, the 9 oz pour is quite generous! We also tried a crispy cod taco, a shrimp taco, tuna ponzu and brussels sprouts (not on happy hour). Everything was so good, but the tuna ponzu and brussels sprouts were the favorite. Can't forget about the bread basket, also a treat. Will definitely be back! read more

Oysters 4/5: Sweet and fresh WA oysters but there were lots of shell bits in each bite. Cioppino 4/5: the broth here is tastier than the Ventura location, slightly creamy and rich in seafood flavor. Good variety of seafood but some were slightly dry. Wish it came with more garlic bread! Calamari 3.5/5: Standard and consistent with other locations but was pretty dry and kinda lukewarm by the time we received it Lots of parking. Quickly seated during Saturday lunch without reservation. Service was quick. read more

So glad we chose this spot as it perfectly matched my cravings for some calamari. I ordered their appetizer and I'm SO glad we did because it seemed like the kitchen was backed up on orders and many tables that sat before us were still waiting on their entrees when we got our appetizer!!! We were super hungry so the long wait was a bit rough but thankfully we got our entrees out soon. I heard the manager tell another table that dessert was on the house, and we weren't told of that despite our wait. I guess others waited much longer, but it's fine as our meals were still the perfect amount for each of us. read more

It's hard to believe that a place can be so popular yet the service be so terrible and yet that was exactly mine and my mother's experience at this location of Lure. Lunch rush be damned, somebody tell me why we watched 2 other groups come in after us, get sat at a table, their drink orders taken and served yet a waiter or waitress had yet to even say hello to us? After about 12-15-ish minutes of waiting, being entirely ignored, we just up and left. I thought we were past places having good food but terrible service. This isn't Dick's Last Resort. If you must go to a fish house, go to the Ventura location. It also has the ambiance of actually being near the ocean. The only views the Camarillo location is offering up is views of everyone else's meal and parking lot. read more

I LOVE LURE's. Both locations in Camarilla and Porter Ranch. Food is always perfect and so is the service. I hope I don't jinx myself. We will met friends here knowing our experience and food will be perfect. read more

Wonderful lunch with mom. The service was excellent. Started with New England clam chowder. Flavorful with plenty of clams. Next a very crispy fresh green salad. The ranch dressing freshly made in house. We both ordered the rock fish and with cilantro rice. I will have try and make that rice at home soon. The fish was so tender and grilled to perfection. The portions were on the large size so we took some food home. I liked the ambiance. Family friendly. Buen provecho. read more

Sam, our waitress, was absolutely fantastic! She made our night. She has a chill vibe, yet is spot on efficient. I asked which Sauv Blanc was best and she let me try a couple! Our pacing was perfect. We had such a perfect evening. The seafood ceviche was a large portion and fresh. It is a tad spicy, as described. I had no problem polishing it off. The halibut was good. Maybe a tiny bit dry. Sam suggested the Brussel sprouts and they exceeded expectations what a great recommendation. So sorry my photos were blurry so not posting. Also, I liked the White Haven Sauvignon Blanc the best. read more

Came for happy hour. Open seating in the bar area. Seat yourself. Come early as it's very busy. Friendly staff. Had the crab cake cod taco, grilled taco, spicy ceviche, bread. All very good, especially the tacos, ceviche and bread. For drinks we had the lure martini and old fashion,sooo good. One negative: always doublecheck your bill. They charged regular prices on the drinks. I did notice it, and had them correct it. read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday and had a great dinner. This was my first visit to this location and it did not disappoint. We made a reservation since we were a party of nine. FYI, the don't make reservations for parties under eight people. They put our group in a private room Tha fit us perfectly. The service was top notch and we were well taken care of. Our server was on top of everything and made sure we had what we needed. The food was awesome. They serve nice sized portions for the price. My lobster tail was a good size and tasted delicious. It was seasoned perfectly and served with butter. My sides were also flavorful and a good portion. The children's menu fish and chips was as big as the adult fish and chips. Everyone enjoyed their food. I particularly enjoyed the calamari and thought the fried jalapeños were a good accompaniment. The bread is so good, especially when it came out hot, straight from the oven. Overall, I was very pleased with our meal and can't wait to return. read more

Meeting some buddies for dinner at 6 PM on. A weekday night. No problem getting a quiet table. I went with the seared ahi ($29). It comes with 2 sides. I chose Veracruz Soup ($3 add on) and sweet potato fries. The waiter warned me that the soup is spicy. But not a problem despite having a gringo palate. Delish! And the ahi was perfectly seared and very tender - expected at a seafood restaurant but appreciated none the less. Service was excellent throughout. read more

Tried the seared ono, the cut was much thicker than expected so was more of a sashimi dinner. It was okay, would've been better if the mango salsa was more like salsa instead of chopped firm mango. The calamari appetizer was very good, tender and fried just right. Five star service from Crystal! read more

Definitely a repeat when I'm back in the area. Good was delicious ! I had the fish shrimp and chips with maple glazed butternut squash.

Love the oysters, the service was okay until the server either went on break or left. The worst part was watching the cooks. One cool took steak around the corner and kept putting it in his mouth then coming back and handling the food being prepared for customers. Then a customer send back a lobster tail and the other cook took a fast hard slam with the butcher knife to the side of it and put it back up. Then right in front of us took the meat from the part of the tail he cut off and shoved it in his mouth. I usually like seeing the cooks prepare food, but this was not professional. read more

My daughters and I were greeted and seated immediately upon our arrival. Amber was our waitress and she was outstanding! We had a nice booth and it was comfortable and cozy. We shared the baked oysters and they were divine! Both of the girls ordered shrimp tacos which they loved. I had the fish and chips. The fish was delicious! The chips were horrible. They weren't French fries, they were like crispy potato bits, literally bits. I couldn't even dunk them in ketchup because they were so small, yuck . The clam chowder was also very tasty. Great experience overall but I will never order the fish and chips again. Sincerely, Terry S. read more
