We came here with a small group for a celebration. The service was fantastic and as we were told, the food was to die for. Everyone wanted something different, and we changed our minds as we went around the table, changing our minds, when we heard something better than what we chose.... Anyone who came by to check on us was happy to help and serve us. The portions were huge, the fish is FRESH, and everyone loved their meals. There is live music playing in the adjacent room (bar) which makes the ambiance wonderful. Ziyah was our server, and she was so patient with our choices and made sure we got everything we needed. We all had at least 2 rounds if drinks, and everyone was happy with their drinks too. We confused everyone by ordering to go in addition to our order and they flew through that as well. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal and an experience!!!!!!

This is a nice place to dine I love the people in the food here food was very delicious. Staff is very outgoing once again which is no surprise to me and the prices are reasonable. Located in the Ventura Harbor it is surrounded by boats and within walking distance of the beach. Nice little shops that you can go around but if you're looking for a good place to choose to eat well this would be one of them. Not only that once you're done eating like I said you could go to the beach which doesn't get very packed here's some pictures from the views from eating and walking around here enjoy

Love this place. Great food. Friendly and efficient employees. Especially, Spencer and Fernando. Great place to watch the game or bring out of town guests. We go at least once a week. Can't wait for them to open again after remodel

Quaint bar and restaurant. Wide variety of beer wine and mixers. Great selection of steak and seafood. The clam chowder was very good. Servers were attentive.

My hubby and I go here all the time! We love the drinks and have ordered a lot of the menu items. Some of the items that stick out are the fish and chips, clam chowder, Poki plate, OG chicken club, scallops and steak, burger and fried shrimp appetizer. The fish tacos are not good so stay clear of those. I will update when I try other items but honestly we’ve been stuck on the poki bowl for a long time. Some days are pretty busy so you have to be patient but it’s totally worth it. We had the displeasure of sitting next to some grumpy entitled people today and I felt so bad for their server. Be patient. Be understanding and remember that eating out is a privilege. If you’re unhappy. You can leave. And you don’t need to make your point that you’re unhappy. Just leave. That’s what reviews are for. We will be coming back again and again. Oh also if you love gin I recommend the Singapore Sling. It’s my fave!

Our waiter, Jorge was amazing. We ordered a prime rib steak and shrimp, scallop platter . Both delicious. They had wonderful music and a really good singer, (Karen.) We danced, laughed and sang along Everyone in the patio had a good time. I think even the dogs!!

I have been here 3 times and it’s one of my favorite pubs! Great service with a smile! Amazing food! We love the crab dip! Holy smokes is it delicious. Bacon jalapenos are heavenly! Location is right next to the beach - after a swim, come here for some good times and food. Parking is great! Lovely spot on the harbor. And food is tremendous. I will be back!!

Favorite spot here is at the bar. Best Mai Tai - not some pink drink with an umbrella. Calamari is crispy and tender. It's the same as you'd get in Greece - best compliment I can give! Have never been disappointed except when the bar was so full I couldn't get a seat. That just confirms how great this place is.
