    We had dinner at the Lure Fish House with friends to celebrate my 60th birthday and Mother's Day. We had a show to go to at the Fremont Theatre and the restaurant was in perfect walking distance. We shared Calamari, which was the best we have ever had - so tender and delicious! We also shared the grilled oysters - they were also delicious! One of our friends had the Ahi ceviche as an entree with a Caesars salad, another one of our friends had the Sand Dabs and my husband and I shared the Ling Cod Fish & Chips with Shrimp. Everything was delicious! The cocktails were excellent too. We will definitely visit the Lure Fish House again! Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures as we were so busy catching up with our friends and devouring the yummy appetizers.

    Food was great and the ambience was nice. Our server was outstanding but the reception was very poor. Our reservation was at 8pm and we checked in at 7:50pm. Several parties were seated before us until we were seated at 8:15pm. Poor start to the meal but everything else after went great.

    The food was Excellent! The Servers were friendly. I liked the cocktail menu and was happy to find that they have an actual red wine sangria, most places are making them with liquor, which in my opinion is not NOT Sangria. The fish tasted extremely fresh as well as the oysters and mussels. That was our first time last night and will be trying it again. Maybe this next time for lunch but this very well could instantly turn into my new favorite restaurant.

    We made reservations so it was easy to get in. We were greeted right away and did not wait for our table. The menu selections for dinner were very good. The food was very good and the margarita Mojito was good as well. The staff was very attentive. The atmosphere was nice, but it was a bit noisy. All of the tables were full on a Wednesday night so we hope the central Coast can actually keep a fish restaurant in business.
