    We had a lovely dining experience with our neighbor Molly at Lure this evening. Carla was our amazing server and contributed to our dining experience with her stellar customer service and demeanor. My wife and Molly both had the halibut entrees and I had the tequilla lime pasta. The fresh bread was so good. For dessert we all had the blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream and oh yes the coffee. So so good. Highly recommended

    Love this place!!! I Always enjoy the fish options. Especially the catch of the day. They do a great job of explaining their dishes and what is served. Some fish dishes come seared and raw. I'm glad I was warned cause I prefer cooked fish. Ambiance is intimate enough for date night or family friendly. Crab cakes is a win and love their fresh bread.

    We love Lure Fish House, I believe we've been to all the locations. I think one of our favorite spots is sitting at the bar. You always get immediate service, drinks and food. We had a great bartender Johnathon he was amazing, hardworking, efficient, professional, friendly and multitasking. I lived my roasted blueberry margarita and my husband had the beer. We actually sat at the high top table at first for about 10 minutes and no one helped and decided to sit at the bar and so happy we did. Johnathon was the best

    Clam Chowder
    Terrence S.

    This place exceeded most of my expectations! Came here with a large group and we had our own isolated room and yet our server was super nice and checked in frequently. The bread and butter that was provided at the beginning could have been a little softer, but as an on the house app, i'll take it. Also had the New England Clam Chowder, and as with most places, this chowder could do with a few more clams. The linguine with clams was solid, very filling, with plenty of clams that tasted fresh and added a lot of flavor to the dish. The Pacific Rockfish took the cake though, perfectly cooked, super fresh, got a nice sear on it without being overcooked. Well done. The other fish on the menu looked very promising and pleased most people in the group. I would love to come again to try the rest of fish!

    Halibut with (divine!) Miso Brussels sprouts and parmesan potato cake

    Service was impeccable from the friendly hostess to the wonderful server. Good was very very tasty. I was bummed when I saw that you couldn't choose any flavor in the fish just grilled with oil period but it was so tasty and flaky. The miso Brussels sprouts were so good I can't stop thinking about them. The parmesan potato cake was glorious. The ambiance was very nice nearly upscale but you still feel ok being in a spring dress or even nicer jeans. I highly recommend

    Love Lure's. Whenever I see a location I make it a point to enjoy a meal there. From their Spicy Bloody Mary's with a dozen oysters to an old fashioned with their grilled salmon with double pineapple Cole slaw entree. Service is always good there. The wait can be long for a table but the bar area is just as good. Looking forward to many great meals and drinks at Lure's

    Pacific rockfish with Parmesan Potato Cake and Cilantro Corn Salad

    I'm from San Diego, but for the past 9 years, whenever I'm on a California road trip, I've stopped at Lure for Sally's sand dabs. They're always fantastic--melt in your mouth soft, buttery, and and reasonably priced for a sit-down meal. I suggested that my boyfriend consider getting Sally's sand dabs too but he got the Pacific rockfish instead. To be clear, the Pacific rockfish was well prepared and good, but he admitted he also liked the sand dabs more. So, if you're considering it, get the sand dabs! You won't regret it. For sides we had the parmesan potato cake, cilantro corn salad, lure fries, and miso Brussel sprouts ($2 upcharge). The miso Brussel sprouts were the clear standout--the cilantro corn salad was a little bland, but overall fine. You can't go wrong with fries/potatoes. The service was super friendly and accommodating. We sat in a booth but my boyfriend was using a knee scooter since he is injured. To avoid blocking the walkway, Cassidy and Brooke (who was in training and also helping us), put the knee scooter elsewhere and kindly got it for us at the end. It was a great experience overall.

    Lure fish House is my favorite places to eat at. I have been to many of their locations and Ventura is always going to be my favorite. But I have been to this location many times and I have always enjoyed their food. We had Cassidy as our server this last time and she was so helpful, quick to bring stuff and had good recommendations. Shout out to Cassidy for outstanding service! Our favorites are pop rock shrimp, raw oysters, new favorite is the sliders which Cassidy has recommended. We used go love spicy seafood ceviche and the one with mango until they no longer have this and changed recipe for the spicy seafood ceviche. Nevertheless the food is never a disappointment! Will return soon

    Genuinely, one of my favorite restaurants ever. If you're a lover of seafood, I would 100% recommend that you come here. The complimentary sourdough bread and butter are something I dream of. They have amazing fresh oysters and the best clam chowder. Their cocktails are delicious. No matter what you get here, you will likely never be disappointed. I love coming here during happy hour and sitting at the oyster bar. The staff here is wonderful. Everything is kept nice and clean and the decor adds to the coastal vibe. I love Lure!

    I've always told people Lure Fish House is my favorite seafood restaurant, and since I was in the area for a work trip, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to get dinner here. I stuck to my old favorites, the clam chowder that is a perfect match for the complimentary sourdough bread. The chowder is hearty and I was almost too full to have the tequila lime shrimp pasta for my main entree, topped with a piece of toast covered in red chili peppers. The waitress was amazing, and although their QR code to pay didn't work, she was ready for me with her card reader. Overall, Lure Fish House is still my go to spot for seafood on the west coast, and I can't wait for my next visit!

    What a wonderful dinner my husband and I were able to enjoy! We've frequented Lures for years, but it's been awhile since we have been to the Camarillo location and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful and very clean. The staff is welcoming and kind. The food was great and the service was efficient. My husband was really happy with his Seafood Grill Platter. It had a little bit of everything.

    One of the best happy hours around especially for seafood lovers. Fantastic food and drink specials. The Lure Martini is the perfect elixir for happiness without the high sugar count. Charbroiled oysters with freshly baked bread is the American equivalent of escargot. Seafood tower is the perfect sampler for two for only $29. Cheers!

    Blueberry Cobbler - GREAT
    Lucy Y.

    Since having a great meal at the Ventura location, other Lure Fish House locations have been on my radar. To our surprise, the weekday earlyish dinner experience here was even BETTER than our great first impression in Ventura. The reason? Our stellar server Dan! Dan is if the soothing vocal affect & detail orientedness of Kelsey Grammer's Frasier Crane, + the compassion of Dr. Phil, + the genuine caring of your bff who really gets you all got infused into the body of a tall, tanned, actor-handsome golfer. We joked that Dan could heal anyone's daddy issues bc he was SO perfectly attentive & thoughtful in his details. From helpfully comprehensive explanations of the best of that day's daily fish, to the bringing us CHILLED spoons to eat some of our to-go blueberry cobbler before the ice cream could melt on the drive home, to bringing us new glasses of club soda mid meal - level thoughtfulness. When they say it's the little things, it really means it's all the little things that add up to a big thing. Green flags like crazy. Yep, that's our Dan! Dan was a totally unexpected surprise, but the comfy booth seating, cool decor & awesome food was not. We have come to expect a level of consistent excellence at Lure. This visit further reinforced this impression. Wild Cod Fish & Chips - likely some of the best - lightest & crispiest - cod we have had - ever, & I'm talking in the world (When we told Dan we'd share that dish, he offered to bring it first, so we could share it as an appetizer. Another green flag!) Sally's Sand Dabs - my 2nd time ordering this bc it's so perfect - pineapple slaw is always great & the garlicky spinach was buttery textured, simple, & fantastic Blue Eyed Trevalla - true to Dan's recommendation, a spectacular fish & cooked perfectly House salad - worth a special mention bc it was surprisingly great w/crispy raw corn kernels & a yum balsamic dressing Blueberry Cobbler a la mode - big enough to enjoy w/the ice cream there & also the rest at home later. Chilled spoons should be served with dessert all the time. Add the super easy parking situation to this great experience, & this was as perfect a dinner experience as you could ever have!

    When is happy hour?

    Lure Fish House offers happy hour from Monday to Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and on Sundays from 11:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The happy hour menu includes items like $3 chef's selection oysters.

    Do you have a Happy Hour? What days and times? Thank you,…

    Yes, Lure does have a happy hour. M-Th 4-6 for sure. I'm not certain about Friday since it's more busy that day.

    Do you allow corkage?

    Yes they do have a corkage fee and it's very reasonable it's $20 they currently do not have a happy hour because of Covid but I highly recommend to save room for the desserts

    Is outdoor seating pet friendly? *Update, they were great hosts to use and our doggo! We took our own water bowl, but they made sure Hunter got constant refills. Also, he was…

    I don't know their rules but their business seems like they would allow it.

    What time is happy hour?

    At this time they have not brought back their happy hour.

    Is there a Happy Hour now? And if yes, what time does it start?

    I don't believe they've brought their Happy Hours back. Rum Fish in downtown Ventura has a FANTASTIC Happy Hour w/ solid service, great drink and food options. We love love love the Camarillo Lure location for both lunch & dinner. 😁

    When will happy hour start again?

    Going on now, but they have not opened the bar seating yet.

    Are they now open for dine in?

    Yes! Not taking reservations, first come first served.

    Will you guys be open next weekend for dine in?

    Yes, we are open now for outdoor patio seating. We look forward to serving you soon! Emily… 

    When is their happy hour?

    Mon Thru Friday 4 to 6 pm. Sunday 1130 to 6.

    Are there any vegan options here for dinner?

    Hi Unfortunately very few, their artichoke appetiser and salads, as well as rice bowl and plain pasta . I think that pretty much sums it up. I hope that helps.

    I had some 'stall' time and so loving wine the way I do-I finally got to the Wine Closet. We walked…read morein and immediately felt invited, comfortable plus the staff confirmed these feelings being very friendly and cordial. The inside was adorned with crates, pictures etc that connected with my taste for wine. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and felt 'at home' very quickly. A flight or two ordered and in front of us in no time. Our food order came soon after (the Lucky Goat was very good). There were many wines to choose from, even after the flight it was a few more glasses of various blancs, one rose really stood out and of course that little diva, pinot noir. (I stick to CA wines these days since the industry has been strained). The Wine Closet is a very nice place to relax, select and enjoy wine and good food. You can order to be served any way you want (M.L., Camarillo said in an earlier post:..."everything here is customizable!" I will definitely be back to The Wine Closet-well worth it.

    Are we the only ones who feel like the vibe at Wine Closet has changed?…read more We're fairly new customers and had a couple of really great experiences in the beginning. There was a bartender who had been there for a long time, and she made the place feel welcoming and gave it that community feel we really liked. Unfortunately, our last three visits have felt very different. The younger bartender we've had recently has made us feel more like we're inconveniencing her by being there. She seems to spend more time talking with the kitchen staff than engaging with the customers at the bar, and that welcoming atmosphere just hasn't been there. It's disappointing because we really wanted Wine Closet to become part of our regular "Parents' Night Out" rotation, but at this point, we'll probably be looking elsewhere.
