    Patio seating and dog-friendly.
    Cindi B.

    A serene sunny lunch on the patio at Rumfish y Vino today. Loved the tropical vibe! We had the Chef Salad and Fish Tacos made with Mahi-Mahi. Both were delicious! Service was great too. Wish I lived in Ventura so we could visit more often!

    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!

    A special day deserves a special place and Rumfish was our first thought for Mother's Day. We made a reservation, but they were definitely prepared with a Mother's Day menu and lots of extra seating. Our service staff was great and very attentive to our needs. Lots of delicious food and drinks to choose from while being surrounded by a little part of Ventura on Main Street.

    Conch Fritters

    We came for the happy hour and left happy lol. The pork belly tacos were excellent, the drinks were fresh and refreshing, I will say the conch fritters were just ok but maybe you will like them. We also enjoyed the salad and the coconut bread pudding. Also we received excellent service even with the waitress being very busy she still stayed attentive and checked on us which I really appreciated. There is plenty of seating at this location but most of it is outside. You can come here with friends and family or on a date. Not sure it is child friendly because I didn't see any children there but maybe. Overall this was a great experience and I recommend you give Rumfish y Vino a shot.

    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.

    Lunch was amazing. Our waiter has absolutely amazing customer service. He seated us under a fan (it was really hot) and he checked the table as we were seated. The table wobbled and he instantly fixed it. The food was bomb, very refreshing and the drinks were strong being from the happy hour menu. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back.

    Found the best two appetizers!! Hanger Steak Garnachas and Conch Chowder. I absolutely loved the Hanger Steak Garnachas, the steak was perfection and combination with the rest of the stuff, especially the avocado and sweet potato was heavily. The Conch Chowder was a solid soup option too! My server Lea gave an outstanding service. Thanks Lea!

    35 years old lemon tree

    We loved this spot. Found it while searching for dinner spots and it's just off a side street from main st. Located next to this brick bar building, it looks empty when you drive by, but once you enter the restaurant, the patio is full of life. We were stunned by the incredibly tall lemon trees that have been there for over 35 years. We had some cocktails to start and then went straight to main courses, the Steak chimichurri plate was so tender and delicious, and the crusted sea bass with the lobster coconut sauce and coconut rice was to die for! We finished with the Coconut bread pudding which came out hot with a coconut syrup to put over. Soooo goood! Highly recommend!

    Somewhat overrated! I'd found Rumfish y Vino on Yelp and made a dinner reservation well in advance. When we arrived, we chose to sit on the heated patio, which had a nice ambiance with trees wrapped in string lights. For drinks, I got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which was fine - not as light and crisp as I'd hoped. We started with the Octopus Tostones, Tropical Ceviche (Special), and Smoked Fish Spread. Portion sizes were small, and none of these items really blew me away. The octopus and fish were both fresh with nice texture, but the flavors were just bland. I got the Mussels as my entree, which had a nice garlicky sauce. But the best dish of the night was my partner's Creole Seabass. The texture was very soft, and this item actually had flavor. We shared the Apple Crumble for dessert, and even this felt like something was missing. Service was friendly and quick. Nothing was necessarily bad, but considering the price point, I would choose a different spot next time.

    Came in with an 8:45 reservation for valentine's day. We grabbed a drink at The Livery next door while we waited because we were early and our table at rumfish was also early. The patio was nicely lit and warm despite the cold weather outside was. We had great service from Kelly despite how busy it was. We always get the apricot habanero bacon flatbread and pork belly tacos, they're so so so good I can't recommend them enough. Tangini is also my go to drink but they had some valentine's day specials that were great too. We got dessert for the first time, pot de creme, really yummy! Great place to spend Valentine's day.

    Caribbean Fish Stew Lunch Special
    Kaelyn R.

    Unexpectedly really good! Especially loved the conch fritters and cubano. The Carribean fish stew was decent, tasted more like cioppino if anything. Wish the food came out hotter though. Strong drinks. Lovely ambiance, can accomodate larger groups on their outer patio. Definitely coming back here. Service was friendly.

    Wagyu burger and garlic fries.
    Trish S.

    Another great brunch on the patio. Food, drinks, and service were all on point. The wagyu burger and garlic fries were delicious.

    Fish tacos were great

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.

The flaky pastry and perfectly seasoned chicken soup were simply irresistible. To complement our meal, I had a blueberry Lemon drop martini, which was perfectly made!
