    I love Rumfish! Went in late July (whoops, late review) and was very happy with the food and service. They have great virgin mocktails and the wait staff was very friendly and doted on us all night. I got my favorite, their ceviche, and as always it was delish! I also just love the vibe in here, whether you're in their beautiful outdoor patio (reserve a table if you want to be there!) or inside.

    I must say... this may be the best restaurant in Ventura! High praise on the service. Waitress was always checking in, great recommendation and so polite. That alone always gives a restaurant a huge boost. But on top of that, the cocktails were all great and the food was amazing. I love how you can mix and match the tacos. That's a game changer! I was able to add a taco and get 4 and do half pork and half fried fish. Getting that variety allowed me to share And try different dishes. Incredible. We sat outside and weather was perfect. Great vibes all night. This is the place to be when visiting Ventura!

    If your looking for a cute trendy place to have a great lunch or dinner than don't look any further, Rumfish y Vino is an awesome spot to check out with AMAZING FOOD. If you love seafood, you gotta check this place out in Ventura. Located right off Main Street, you will find them in the middle of Palm Street. Great ambiance and decor at this resteraunt. They have a bar with TVs so good place to catch sports as we are there for the World Cup. We ordered the grilled malhi tacos and the tuna melt. Both dishes will run you around $20 bucks and THE QUALITY HERE IS SUPERB. Food is very flavorful and fresh. Both items were a 10/10 and can't reccomend enough. Cant wait to come back and try a couple dishes that caught my eye from their menu. Thanks Rumfish y Vino for the great food and hospitality. Till next time!

    Fish Taco Happy Hour
    Kira L.

    Have been here many times but it's been a while, seems like happy hour or the kitchen has changed! Service was fine and patio was lovely as always. Ordered the usual Watermelon Mojito and fish taco. The tortilla was extremely oily and flat and smooth unlike any tortilla I've seen. The grilled mahi mahi was very overcooked, dry and almost dusty tasting, I did not finish the taco. Fries were okay. I've been here for many meals but something seems to be different! I usually love the flatbread pizza, the leche de tigre ceviche is not what you'd hope of a true leche de tigre. Dragonfruit caipiroska is on the bland side but love the mojito. Still enjoy the $9 and $10 wines and cocktails.

    Mussels in garlic and white wine broth- superb!
    Jason S.

    Remarkable food, service and ambiance! Service is always on point here, outstanding happy hour and the entrees for dinner superb! Had a few items of honorable mention: the mussels, ceviche and the flatbread pizza- unreal! Also, very nicely crafted cocktails and wine list, my hats off to the persons who chose the wines! Absolutely epic experience and highly recommend coming here over and over.

    Exploring Ventura downtown. A friend suggested this place. We had lunch there. Nicely decorated courtyard area, friendly and fast service. Good food quality at reasonable price points. The goat cheese flatbread was absolutely wonderful ! I had the fish taco - also very good. BTW - the prices have gone up so the pricing on the yelp website were old prices.

    Table in front of the fireplace on the patio

    Was lucky enough to get the table in front of the fireplace on the patio. All the food was fantastic. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. The margaritas are killer! Great bar. Attended a event there in their banquet space and that was also wonderful.

    Crudo
    Gina S.

    We came here right after going to the beach, and it was definitely a nice place to relax. I really loved the outdoor area, and the overall ambiance was beautiful and inviting. We ordered a few drinks, which were good, along with the crudo. Unfortunately, the crudo dish was the one dish that really disappointed me. The fish seemed like it had been frozen--it lacked flavor and had a slightly chewy, tough texture. I definitely wouldn't order that again. The seafood dish with chorizo, however, was actually very good. We also ordered the Wagyu burger with garlic fries, which was delicious, and the cochinita pibil tacos, which were also enjoyable. Overall, everything was good except for the hamachi. The drinks were fine, the atmosphere was nice, and we had a pleasant experience. That said, it wasn't really a "wow" experience that would make me want to come back. For the price, I think it's okay, but I wouldn't say it's an especially great value.

    Rumfish y Vino for Mother's Day. We made a reservation a week before and only had to wait about 10 minutes past our time, which honestly was not bad for such a busy day. 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

    I honestly hate eating out because my partner went to culinary school, so the food we cook at home is always superior - this spot, however, we would come to again & again. The vegan cauliflower tacos were so good, & my partner also really loved their dish! Only restaurant we've been to that has impressed us both, & yes we've been to a lot lol.

    Cocktail
    Maureen W.

    After a recommendation from a friend, the fam and I went to this magical little spot in Ventura. We sat outside in the ferry lit alley. Service was exceptional. The server was sweet, knowledgeable, and she recommended a good wine and food. we had the quinoa salad to start, which was actually so delicious that I want to replicate the recipe if I can. Totally fresh and flavorful and ahem, healthy. We also had the goat cheese flatbread, which was absolutely delicious. For the Main, I personally had the hanger steak, which was fantastic. Great chimichurri and delicious broccolini accompanied it. One of my Rugrats had the burger which he said was the best Wagyu he's ever had. The other one had the cauliflower tacos and she was very satisfied. Hubs had the fish tacos which he devoured so I'm assuming he would give it a thumbs up. I had a nice cocktail to start and a glass of local wine to finish and I was very satisfied overall. I highly recommend coming here for a superb dinner experience.

    I had a few places in mind, what made me decide to come here was seeing their lunch menu. NGL I remembered the service not being the best but decided go anyway. It hasn't changed. We had to ask to ask several different people for the same thing. We enjoyed our food. The salad was chefs kiss. The outside patio is beautiful.

    Heidy M.

    We stopped in for lunch after our friends recommended we try Rumfish. We were seated on the patio by a very friendly and attentive waiter. He recommended a few drinks and an appetizer to get us started and they were all great! We both had fish tacos, and ceviche, both very fresh, delicious and filling. Our drinks were delicious, and the alcohol in my margarita may have been skipped, but it was still tasty. Parking was easy on the street and the area is full of shops, restaurants and bars. Very fun and safe to walk around. Rumfish was very inviting, not loud and we felt very welcomed when we arrived. We highly recommend a stop here. Cheers!

    Fish You Were Here…read more Waterfront restaurant located at the base of the Ventura Pier that's been serving up fresh catches for over forty years (ca. 1981). The Good: * Fast-casual: order at the counter, get a buzzer, and then pick it up from the aforementioned counter. * Friendly service * Location is superb with amazing beach and coastal views--especially if you take your food upstairs to eat at the Madewest Brewing, Co. Taproom. However, there are caveats to this (see below). * Beers on tap and cocktails--but if you plan to eat upstairs at Madewest, then you can't bring alcohol from Eric's and vice-versa. * I wish the poke bowl was a little less saucy but overall it was still a very tasty bite. The Meh: * It's a little pricey, but not horrible considering the location. The Ugly: * The parking lot adjacent to the beach/pier is free Mon-Thu but $1/hr Fri-Sun (4hr Max) Conclusion: Seafood, suds, and surf. 'Nuff said...

Ericssons Fish Co. was far and wide the best place I've eaten at and it's not remotely close. The restaurant is situated right on the peer, so the ocean views are amazing. The service was excellent, great local tap beer selection (namely Madwest, which is next door), and the food was phenomenal. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the seafood justifies the price imo. If you're looking for a laid back beach joint, Ericsson's is definitely it.

Kindly put these three were demanding and not very understanding of Jackson's time. The MANY times they asked for changes to the food, several other things they "asked" for Jackson kept her cool and quickly gave them what they requested.

It was a solid grilled fish taco with not a ton of pomp and circumstance. Just unadulterated goodness. Fast forward to my recent visit - it didn't quite hit the same though I'm sure my palette has since evolved. The World Famous grilled fish taco ($7.95) was good, but was only made better with the in house sweet chili fire sauce. Of the things we ordered, I did really enjoy the ahicado ($13.75) which is ahi tuna mixed in lemon infused olive oil on top of avocado and served with wonton chips. I love a wonton chip situation and paired with the fresh ahi, it made for a perfect bite. The guy next to us ordered several Parmesan hard shell tacos ($5.50) so I did too (with shredded chicken). The flavorful chicken was perfectly shredded so you didn't get unmanageable hunks with each bite. These were unexpectedly very tasty. Highly recommend if you like a hard shell sitch. Judging from the lines at 2:00PM on a Saturday afternoon, Spencer MaKenzie's is a Ventura institution even if I won't be thinking about the grilled fish tacos n-e-more. PSA: dining on the patio is the move even if you have to wait.

REVIEW: First timer here (what.) and it was so good! Quiet, not too busy on the day we went (during the week). I remember in my baby years of Yelp I used to note that a restaurant was "good" if it was busy. Post-shutdown and currently 2026, it's OK to me if it's ghost town inside. :) We ordered the Clam Chowder Bowl and Sweet Potato Fries. GREAT! The chowder had nice flavor and was thick, and the clam pieces were tasty. The bread was warm and soft, so full of flavor. Service was good. Love the vibe inside, too. Love the decor and the entire vibe. As much as I love seafood, I can't wait to go back to try their other menu items. Thank you for a great meal. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing because of the service. We were seated at a table without menus and left waiting for about 10 minutes, which felt like an eternity because the restaurant was extremely hot and there didn't seem to be any A/C running. Once someone finally came over, we ordered our drinks and the AYCE option. Our first round of food came out fairly quickly, but we weren't given any utensils, and our drinks didn't arrive until we were nearly finished with the first round. We ordered our second round as soon as our drinks arrived, but then waited another 40 minutes for the food. When we asked about it, our waitress seemed irritated and dismissive rather than apologetic or helpful. Because there is a posted 90-minute time limit for AYCE, by the time our second round arrived, we were understandably disappointed that we didn't have enough time to order a third round. The frustrating part is that the food itself was fresh and tasty. We really wanted to love this place, and it's unfortunate that the poor service overshadowed what could have been a great birthday dinner. We left with a bad taste--not because of the food, but because of the experience.
