We went for our anniversary and had a wonderful dinner. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend sitting by the window overlooking the beach.

I recently visited Aloha Statehouse, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. This restaurant combines a welcoming island-inspired atmosphere with high-quality food and friendly service, making it a place I would gladly return to.

We sampled a variety of dishes during our visit — soup, shrimp, burgers, and items from the kids’ menu — and everything exceeded our expectations.
The soup was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It had a comforting depth, the kind that warms you from the inside and immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the seasoning was just right, neither too bold nor too mild.

The shrimp were another highlight. They were cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and seasoned with a light tropical flair that really matched the restaurant’s Hawaiian theme. Each bite felt fresh and vibrant, with a flavor that made you want to order a second plate.

We also tried their burgers, which were surprisingly impressive. The patties were juicy, the buns were soft yet sturdy, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully chosen. It’s the kind of burger that feels satisfying without being overly heavy.

Even the kids’ menu stood out. Portions were generous, the food was prepared with care, and everything looked appetizing — something that’s not always the case with children’s options at other restaurants. Our little one enjoyed the meal just as much as we did.

Overall, Aloha Stake House delivers excellent food, a relaxed atmosphere, and consistently high quality across the entire menu. It’s a great place for families, casual dinners, or simply enjoying a delicious meal with a touch of island charm. I highly recommend it.

We stayed another day in Ventura. We decided to try out Aloha Steak in Ventura on a Wednesday evening, right by the beach near the pier, this place was lively! Even midweek, it was packed, but we got a table quickly and checked out their happy hour menu, which was seriously awesome. We got a bit carried away with the ordering—the clam chowder was a total standout, super creamy and bursting with flavor. The chicken satay was alright but a little dry. The fish and chips were solid, with flaky fish and perfectly crispy fries. And the shrimp cocktail? Those shrimps were huge and super fresh.

Service was a bit slow, likely because of a big party in the restaurant keeping the staff busy. Still, the food quality was top-notch, and the ocean view from our table was fantastic—such a great Ventura beach vibe. Plus, free parking with validation was a nice perk. If you’re after a vibrant spot for a meal by the water, Aloha Steak’s a solid choice for a weeknight or any night!

We came to Aloha Steakhouse on a Sunday evening around 5 PM. Even though it was pretty busy, we were seated right away. Our waiter was kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome.

We had a booth which was perfect for our small kids. They even gave them crayons and coloring books to keep them entertained. The atmosphere was really nice and upscale but still family friendly which we really appreciated. We even had a view of the ocean from our booth and the noise level was just right, not too loud.

The food was outstanding. We had the ribeye cooked rare and it was absolutely perfect. The steak came with steamed vegetables that were fresh and flavorful. Our kids had cheeseburgers and fries and we also tried the craft burger with fries. The fries were crispy and delicious across the board.

Multiple staff members checked on us throughout the meal but it never felt overwhelming. Sometimes restaurants overdo it but this was just outstanding service from start to finish.

Overall it was a great experience with amazing food, excellent service, and a comfortable environment for families. We will definitely be back.

We came here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and they COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS. We we seated on a grubby side patio in the back by the bar even though there were nicer and empty tables closer to the water. When I asked to move, given the special occasion, they said sorry, but no. Trying to make the best of a disappointing situation, we ordered. Chicken dishes were dry, steaks were overcooked....when food finally came. The waitress brought everyone's entree but mine and then proceeded to set down my "side" wedge salad as if I was just beginning my meal. My steak came, very overdone, 10 minutes later, with much apology, sure, but me just starting my entree while 5 people waited for me to eat. So unacceptable. At the end, I expressed my concerns to the manager, and again, he could have cared less. Avoid this place. So many better restaurants in the Channel Islands harbor. I took a chance on this place, and they failed.

This is an absolute 5 star restaurant, it's consistently amazing and not stupidly priced. The waitress was friendly and attentive, the food was cooked perfectly and even though there was a slight error with my guests dish, she ordered prime rib with no aju, they brought it with, she was offered a whole new plate. I haven't been here in about ten years, and it's still the standout best food in town and it's right off the pier. It doesn't get better.

We went to dinner on a Monday at this restaurant. It wasn't crowded and we got a great table for two people. We had the soup (clam chowder) and it was great. The Alaska tongue and shrimp were delicious.

Great place when your not looking to break the bank on a steak!

Me and my spouse came here to celebrate our anniversary for future reference it’s better to make a reservation cause this place gets packed even on a week day. The food here was really good we tried the artichoke dip with the jalapeño toast and was so good I really need to know how they make that toast also tried the teriyaki chicken which was also really good but extremely overpriced! paid $30 for a piece of chicken and a slice of grilled pineapple not mention that it only comes with one side for that price we should I least get two! Overall I did enjoy the service from our waitress.

Seared Ahi Tuna and the Black and blue cheese crustini starters are favorites as is the garden salad with dried cranberries. Ribeye done perfectly. Can be somewhat expensive, but always good!

This place is a lot fancier on the inside than it looks on the outside. We were a party of four for dinner. Everyone's meal was excellent. We ordered the Aloha Platter appetizer. This appetizer was a seafood combo and priced at $51. This was a splurge. We were so excited for the appetizer and absolutely bummed when they never brought it to us. The management said they made a mistake and simply missed it. What a let down. The management offered a free bananas flambe to make up for their error. Although I appreciate their efforts, it definitely put a damper on the meal. The staff was friendly and the decor was beautiful.

I am usually wont eat fish however, they have ( fresh catch) Macadamia nut crusted Halibut that is wonderful. I have gone 4 times consistently met my expectations.

The Aloha Steak House is conveniently located steps away from the Crowne Plaza Hotel. We stopped in twice for the 3:00 to 6:00 pm Happy Hour. Great drink prices and some tasty appetizers. Service was good around the bar area.
