Water's Edge Restaurant and Bar

Nice restaurant on the pier. We just randomly decided to try it. Wanted to get out of the house on a long weekend and have dinner with a view. We were pleasantly surprised with the food. It was much better than what I was expecting. In fact it was great! I would definitely eat there again. The service was on point also. Looks like it was a team effort. Everyone was hustling. As for the view it was nice but not great. But that’s not the restaurants fault. The city could do more with cleaning up that area.

My family and I were visiting from out of town and stumbled across this wonderful establishment because it was close to our hotel. To say we had a fabulous time doesn’t fully express how grateful we are. The atmosphere is exquisite. Beautiful and elegant but you can still be comfy and not too stuffy. The food was phenomenal. Unfortunately, I had an issue with my plate with a portion being undercooked and management quickly came to address and rectify the situation. The cocktails were amazing. They were very accommodating of my 3 children. I highly recommend this place to anyone. We hope to visit again when we are in the area!

We have been to this restaurant several times since moving to Ventura. We are both seniors who have disabilities so lately have been doing take out. We have a guest & decided to order your Rodeo burger which is one of our favorites. It is very expensive for a burger but we splurge occasionally. First off at 5 pm on Sunday the phone just rang & rang when we tried to place an order so my husband actually drove to restaurant to see what was going on. They had no idea that the phone was unplugged even tho their hours are 10- 9. He placed order for 2 rodeo burgers which have always consisted of blue cheese, bacon jam, balsamic, arugula &onion ring ( states ingredients on website menu) cup of chowder & 1/2 Caesar salad that was also on menu- he was told they no longer do 1/2 Caesar & they stopped putting onion ring on burger?! Yet they still charge $21 & it is still on website. They brought food out in multiple containers w/ aluminum foil instead of lids- said supplier didn’t send order. Never did they offer to compensate for any changes or for unavailability to take phone order & him having to wait& refused to get manager when asked to speak to him. Too add insult to injury- got food home & it was nothing like the burger we ordered ! No arugula no bacon jam no blue cheese & of course no onion ring! It was disgusting looking with a glob of some thick off colored item & another brown unknown substance on burger - we called & told them & he took burgers & fries back - manager finally came out apologized & had them made again - but sadly the onion ring he gave us on the side was nothing like before- & the burger just wasn’t nearly as good as it has been in past. The chowder & the “full” Caesar were both sub par & dressing ( thank God I got it on the side) was disgusting-
Since they sent bad food 1st order we should’ve gotten either free replacement or something!
We owned a restaurant for years & would have never served anything like that & definitely would have made it right! Guess they don’t care about return customers as we definitely will not be returning - $74 for 2 bad burgers ,cup of weak chowder & some old lettuce is ridiculous!

Good food, service was a little spotty, it wasn’t super busy but it took a considerable amount of time to get waiter attention at times

Abraham was very kind. The food was really good. We had the seared Ahi, Mahi Mahi and the calamari. The view was really nice of the harbor. We sat outside it was great! Thank you all for great service!

A beautiful harbor view location and delicious food choices.

its a beautifull item

Great atmosphere, and the view is just perfect for a great date night restaurant! Highly recommend! Abraham, our server (who's served us multiple times!), made our dates unforgettable. 🥂

Food was fabulous, the view beautiful and the service was excellent. Lovely!

The pictures posted are very old and misleading.
Note that it is a little hard to find the parking lot entrance.
The view and everything else is magnificent. We love it. You are ON the water.

HaPpY hr menu is diverse
food was just Ok
Bartender could use more people skills
She was young and definitely not a people person or just tiered…..:(
Its all about The view
I do recommend this place
i’ve been there several other times including on much busier times, such as during the holidays, for dinner and on other happy hour occasions.
I will continue to go in hoped that management may do some changes

They were packed. Mothers day. But I think at the price point with fabulous views it was worth it. More clean plates needed? Faster food chafing dish refills needed? Yes and yes. But overall..we had a nice time. We went for Thanksgiving a couple yrs ago and that was excellent. So I hope they can improve the standard a bit... but we would return. And thank you to all the staff that worked on a holiday i appreciate that 😊

Mother's Day Brunch was a mess. Overbooked and understaffed. We arrived early for our 2:30 reservation and it took over 40 minutes to even be seated. We sat at the hostess stand the entire time hearing the phone go off constantly unanswered as staff would constantly come to the stand and not acknowledge us. After we were finally greeted and checked in, it took another 20 minutes to be shown our table. Food was mediocre and a really small buffet for the $70 cost. The eggs were powdered and bacon was essentially plastic. I've had better brunch at a Holiday Inn. When I went to grab a plate, the plate under still had food scraps on it. My father-in-laws soda had floating things in it. View was nice (but was added to the bill with the 'Harbor Tax'), that's about the only good thing. We would have been far better off going to IHOP.

Very disappointing mother's Day service. 30 minute wait just to be seated while there were several open tables and no one in line at the buffet. 5 minute wait to be greeted. Most of the hot food was cold, bacon sausage and prime rib cold. Tasted good, but cold. For the price I expected much more.

Food was terrible. Service was mediocre. NO ONE WAS EATING THERE. Needs a total revamp of ambiance and vibe
