34 Best Seafood Restaurants in Ventura

“A beautiful friendly restaurant with a unique and delicious menu and drinks.“

“We had a great time have dinner during summer evening. We sat outside for happy hour. I found it a bit warm inside. Outside offer a nice breeze to keep us cool. Food was delicious and filling. We ordered the LINGUINE WITH CLAMS
Parsley, butter, lemon, white wine, olive oil, garlic,
MUSSELS BASQUAISE
black mussels, Fire-roasted tomato broth, Spanish chorizo, queso fresco, garlic bread with and CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TACO.“

“Awesome place. Perfect vibe and food. The quintessential California beach experience. This was our first time and we can’t wait to return!“

“Amazing patio view! We have our favorite things: fish sandwich, fried scallops, sesame salmon salad, seafood pasta. My dad's fave is the clam chowder and sourdough bread. All delish. They also carry on tap Figueroa Mountain's Danish Red, one of our favorite brews. Staff is really great: As we slooowly exited with my mom using her walker, at least five employees smiled and thanked us for coming and wished us a great evening. ❤️“

“Let's start with the obvious: you can drive right past this place and not even see it. It is a converted house with minimal signage, and I think that adds to the charm. Reservations highly recommended.

Now to the good and bad ... it's worth the visit but it comes at price. I had their crab cake appetizer (superb) and wild boar shank (you'll have to wait 30 minutes for this to cook), a glass of wine and their flourless chocolate cake. It set me back over $100. I WOULD GO AGAIN. Every bite was top notch. I sat indoors, but there is a small nice patio in back. Next time I'm trying their duck.“

“Love this place and have been coming for years specifically for their parmesan crusted tacos, think Taco Bell on steroids! They have a lovely patio, you can bring your pups, and the service is outstanding! 👍🏻👍🏻🌮❤️“

“The fish tacos are as good as they say!!!“

“I thought the Clam Chowder and the Calamari and the cocktail were really good, I do have a beef with how expensive the tacos are for only two tacos. They're good but not that good. It's more like $20-30 per person. Ambience is great though. That sun feels so good. Plenty of places to sit outside.“

“The boiled shrimp was really good, it was well seasoned. I got the family platter for around 55$. I loved the shrimp, very spicy. The only complaint I have is a lot of the shrimp were extremely small. Otherwise customer service was very kind, the food was pretty good and well seasoned.“

“Impressive customer service, while our waiter was busy w/other tables (which is understandable and totally fine) there is a busy bus boy buzzing around with water, clearing off plates and bringing extras people are asking for. Our waiter came and took our drink order. Malbec for me… so good, I had to ask what it was: Öko 🤤 and my husband ordered a smash berry something. THAT was SO BOMB! A hint of mint and full flavor of berries bursting bar god deliciousness! We ordered the butter board, now the presentation could use some work… I’m more about flavor and that butter (two options) was finger lickin good. The waiter took a few minutes to chat and told us it was pineapple butter. 🤯 it’s served with small pieces of… maybe focaccia bread (which btw alone was so good too). Meanwhile, the manager has his eye on everything. He saw the moment we put down our menus, and was there to ask is we has any questions. I did: there’s no house salad on the menu & he accommodated my request for one, which was a deciding factor for my main course. The SoCal Bolognese was bursting with flavor. This is new to the menu, we’ve been a few times… my husband is a fan, I was never impressed… until last night. The chorizo was spicy, but not overpowering, pasta cooked perfectly. The house salad could’ve used more tomatoes, but I really can’t complain since it’s not on the menu to begin with. My husband ordered the ahi steak on top of green beans and he said it was really good. It looked amazing, but I was in heaven with the butter board & the bolognese, my palate couldn’t handle the flavor overload 😜 After about 6 visits, I finally found something worth writing home about. For sure putting this place back into rotation. And the prices… very reasonable. Might be coming here a lot more. Everyone was super nice and helpful.“

“Clean and great bar !! Breakfast was delicious“

“Excellent experience! Staff was friendly, food was delicious, and the view was great! There was a bit of a line, but very little wait. I’m glad we were not intimidated by the line, as there was a line for a reason! Andria’s is definitely one of the best fish market restaurants I’ve been to in a while. It’s hard to find good seafood in SoCal, and I think that Andria’s was phenomenal! We ordered two small chowders and split a Captain’s Platter… and this was a lot of food! Add in tip and drinks, and our total came to $60ish. I can’t wait to come back and try more items on their menu!“

“I gotta say it's was my first time being there to experience the breakfast on the cozy patio. I order the pecan pancakes with crispy bacon and their special syrup so deelish. The beignets are magnificent. The staff super Friendly!!! I highly recommend you try this French restaurant out . Follow Your Taste Buds!!!“

“Super fun. We had a great group dinner. The food was great and so were the staff.“

“If you're searching for a quiet meal on the beach, this place has few rivals. We came here for our anniversary, and LOVED the rooms, the peace and quiet, the row of chaise lounges at water's edge, the restaurant on site, and the gracious continental breakfast. The management was chill, and we couldn't ask for more.“

“Great breakfast, bloody Mary's and staff!“

“Best Mexican on this side of Ventura! Insanely kind staff, and you can tell the food is always cooked with love.

I’ve been here a few times, one of which I ordered online and when I came to pick it up, they were actually closed for construction. The cashier, who I’m assuming was the manager, was very apologetic and offered to call in my order at a restaurant nearby. But I had a migraine and honestly just wanted to go home. Today I came in to pick up dinner, and he insisted that it was on him!! So not necessary, but so kind. <3

The birria combo is really good. If you want something filling and fast their rice and bean burrito with chicken is great too!“

“Love Sunday Brunch…. Never gets tired of coming back…“

“The staff was friendly and very fast. I had the fish and chips. It was excellent, one of the best I have had. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Great food and all the staff’s are friendly“

“sushi is delicious!!!!!! Love it ❤“

“Our group of 6 ordered three pastas, 2 salads, 2 apps (all to eat family style), and had a few cocktails. I forgot to take photos because we were having a great time and conversation. They have $10 cocktails on the happy hour menu and we went on a Saturday around 4:45 (reserved the time) - pleasant surprise to see happy hour on a weekend! Overall, I thought the food was delicious and the cocktails are strong and tasty. The service was also fast and friendly - loved the timing of how each course was brought out. It is on the pricier side and the portions are not super large but if you want a nice treat in a very cute space, it's worth a try!“

“The best food in Ventura!“

“Have been treating the family at least once a month. Vivian always so friendly and upbeat. Try it you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Great Coctel de Camarón 👍🏽👍🏽“

“Honestly I am not one to enjoy seafood boil but the Captain’s Choice Combo was AMAZING! From the seasoning to the nice kick I got from the medium heat. It was heaven. I highly suggest this place! I didn’t get the chance to dine in but the food was amazing and worth the drive“

“Chips were warm, served generously, and salsa and bean dip were excellent! We had the fajitas, which you can tell are not made made from a mix, as well as the flautas. The flautas were probably the largest I have been served in decades, and filled with very tender chicken. Would definitely recommend.“

“delicious steak and eggs, greAt waitpeople but miss the old wheat bread“

“Excellent tacos and location. Service is fast and friendly and the tacos are delicious and made fresh . We tried their shrimp grilled baha tacos and a ahi taco. Tacos were large and the fish was fresh and delicious . They offer a nice menu amd have Daily specials. The tacos were excellent. Well worth a visit. Loved it“

“A homey restaurant, with the most friendly staff that makes you feel at home, so much so I forgot to take pictures and videos of the place 🤣. The star of the show came right away, the refried beans with the chips and salsa! 🤤🤤🤤. I can't remember the last time something was that good! Plenty of on site parking, handicap ♿️ friendly parking and entrance, lots and LOTS of menu options (including vegan)

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking, entrance and 1st floor entrance (only 1 floor)“

“Large plate is pretty filling so come hungry. The crab salad is a great add on if you're lookin for more protein. Sauce option: Ponzu + Spicy Mayo + Sriracha = 👌 btw. this place is Keto Friendly“

“Delicious food. Nice staff who very attentive and treat us like family. Great entertainment on most nights -- Salsa on Thursdays and Country dancing on Saturdays with a DJ or a good band. Vaquero is a favorite restaurant of ours.❤️“

“Always have family lunches here and it’s always on point“
