One of best places we ate on our trip to California

Went in for lunch and sat at the bar. Jason was our bartender/server. He was great! And so was the food. We had the rock fish and the miso salmon bowl. Both were delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

If you like salmon, this place is a must when you're out here! I got me the salmon burger with jalapenos. The pop rock shrimp were the perfect appetizer! The salmon burger I've ever had hands down! Definitely coming back! 😁🙏🏽🤟🏽✊🏽✌🏽

Unbelievable oysters and key lime pie+

We had our Anniversary dinner here, and it did not disappoint. The Sea Bass and Halibut were perfect! And don't skip dessert.... Omg!

LOUD. Don't go here unless you want to shout to converse. I couldn't hear my spouse sitting next to me. They really need to put in some fabric or some noise abatement. Food was good, but not great. Service was fine, although the hostess was a bit surly when we asked to be moved to a quieter area. The manager accommodated us, moving us to the bar. It was a bit better, but I don't think I would sit inside again due to the noise volume.

I Love Lure!!! When I crave oysters this is my go-to place! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! A pleasant surprise today they had 4 different varieties of oysters normally they only have 3. Another pleasant surprise they were just delivered 10 minutes before my arrival. I got 2 of each and they were so fresh and delicious ? served with the classic condiments. Also, today I had their small Caesar (comes in 1/2 or full portions) with their fried calamari. Their calamari is so lightly breaded and it was cooked perfectly ? so tender and delicious! ? It was perfect!!!
When I'm by myself or with my husband we normally sit @ the bar or in the bar. We've got top-notch service everytime plus it's entertaining!!!

Ahi was good, prices reasonable. Outside patio was an alleyway, but overall, nice lunch.

Came here for a birthday lunch for my friend and had the absolute worst service I’ve ever experienced. We asked to move from the bar to a table just next to where we were sitting. We even confirmed with the hostess to make sure our seating was adjusted to avoid confusion being from the service industry ourselves. Each of our drinks were walked around to each other guests before we called out to the server realizing they didn’t know they were ours. Our first appetizer took over 45 minutes before we had to ask for it again and wait another 15 minutes for them. When the peppers were placed on the table there was no advisement on how hot the platter was and my friend grabbed it to move it away quickly burning their hand. An entree we ordered came out with a completely incorrect side as well. Two drinks we ordered were barely tolerable one being a concern because of a gin allergy where our server came back to ask three times about how they wanted their martini done and another being an espresso martini instead of a redbull drink that was asked for. To top it all off we had to stop another server to ask for our check when we were told they didn’t even know our table was there because our server left without a word to us and wasn’t going to be returning. It was a huge disappointment to such a beautiful atmosphere and we will likely not be returning.

@LureFishHouse I’m not sure if this response was meant for me because it’s addressed to someone else.

We’re on a road trip and stopped through this charming town. The reviews seemed nice so we decided to give it a try. We went in and they…were…packed! We decided to just order to go. There was a small mistake with our order but Manager Marcy was exceptional! Her customer service and prompt action turned a less than desirable moment to an unforgettable one. Whoever put her in charge is SMART! Needless to say, the food…was…ridiculously…delicious! My husband enjoyed the swordfish. The “spicy” ceviche wasn’t necessarily spicy, but were from the South, so spicy means your nose runs while you’re eating!? The flavor though…?I mean, EVERTHING that we ordered was amazing! Crab cakes definitely deserve a mention?. Even the Caesar salad was delectable! Overall 10/10, totally recommend. (Marcy makes it 100/10)

We had high anticipation for Lure since we had never been. However, the food was what I would rate as Marie Calendar level. The caesar salad was soaked in dressing and soggy. The sea bass was raw on one side. The pumpkin cheese cake was not tasty, was burned on top. The restaurant should have refunded the dessert and salad but didn’t. You can see we didn’t even eat the cheesecake. The server didn’t care, she had lots of tables and seldom checked with us. This cost $150 for two people and didn’t live up to the expectation at all. We suggest you go to Shell Beach or Pismo and have a fish dinner there instead.

I finally had the chance to dine at Lure Fish House, and it did not disappoint!

We were greeted promptly and seated quickly.

Our waitress was friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I also loved the decor—it had a big city vibe in a cozy small-town setting.

Highly recommend!

We had no prebooking. Just showed up for lunch. No waiting at all. Service is good and quick. Food was superb, at least what I had. Sand dab fish baked, vegies stir fried. Perfectly cooked. Very tasty. I would go again. Recommending you for giving it a try. You will be happy.
