Friendly ambiance, attentive service, but most dishes were lackluster. Oysters were bland and served with what looked like ketchup and vinegar instead of cocktail and mignonette sauces. Ceviche had no citrus tang, wasabi ahi tuna tasted frozen. Only the cod fish & chips stood out, so I would stick with fried and avoid the fresh options here.

A shell of its former glory. They forgot what someone in my party ordered. Negative attitude from our server. Stated that they have a bad bar tender. Food made my wife throw up. Pass on this one.

Service was off. We had finished 12 oysters, and were ready to order while still waiting for drinks. We never got water. We both had fish. It was quite overcooked and dry, while remaining fairly tasteless. All in all we wish we had made a different choice of restaurant.

Sat outside, nice evening. Ordered drinks. Asked the server where the oysters were from she said she didn't know, but went inside and came out and said they were from some island in Washington. Okay lol. Then ordered appetizer, dozen oysters. After we finished our oysters or drinks came. Wondering why we didn't receive water or even offered any. Weird. Server said the bar is slow. Ordered two different fish dishes, and as the server said it may not be great, she was correct, dry and over cooked. Was celebrating my birthday, server knew this....um do you guys offer a happy birthday dessert or something? Not offered or even asked if wanted dessert. Hum.
Sea Fresh is not a great place.
Best thing, we made new friends from the table next to us. They joined us, we had such a great time with them, we forgot how poor the food and service was. Cheers to meeting new friends!
Our local friend had recommended going to Boccali's Pizza and Pasta, next time we will go there. Not returning or recommending Sea Fresh. The oysters we good, but that's it. Fairly disappointing.

Great patio with lots of food options. Fried Zucchini is hit or miss. Sometimes it is super crunchy and sometimes it can be a bit soggy. Not sure why the range of experience. Tacos are great, service is fantastic with really great people. Other really tasty item is the ceviche. Patio is covered and excellent if you bring a furry friend(s).

We got oysters, tuna poke and linguine with clams. Unfortunately we returned everything. I've never done that before but in my opinion nothing was fresh. The oysters in particular were old and mushy and tasted like the sea but not in that good refreshing way. The clams also tasted old and the pasta was dry. Our server was very kind and apologetic. The manager came out a little hot defending the food quality but then comped all the food which was very nice. Maybe it was just a bad day but I won't be going there again.

We stopped by for a later dinner while visiting Ojai for a conference. Our server was extremely sweet and made our experience - he checked in regularly and gave an update on food and drink orders. Food came out timely and was tasty - we had their salmon teriyaki, which came with a good mix of vegetables, and the trout which is a restaurant favorite. We dined outside as the weather was perfect and got to see the sunset. We would recommend if looking for a reasonably priced bite with friendly service.

Excellent, fresh food. We had to wait for 5-10 mins as we hadn’t reserved and it’s a very popular place apparently (no surprise!). But we thoroughly enjoyed the food & drinks and we had such a good time!
