Welcome to Lure Fish House, if your preferred reservation time is not available about half of our overall seating is unreserved for walk-ins. Our bar and oyster bar areas offer our full service menu and are open seating in order of arrival. Lure Fish House is a Ventura California based family-owned restaurant featuring the freshest sustainable seafood from trusted sources. Our Arizona Lure has its seafood order prepared in our own Ventura California seafood cutting facility and is directly driven to Arizona about 15 hours after it is ordered from the chef in Scottsdale. We feature organically grown local produce and wines from local vineyards whenever possible. We also feature a full bar with specialty cocktails made with freshly squeezed fruit juices and a raw bar serving a variety of fresh chilled seafood and oysters.

    Great experience! First time dining here and we absolutely loved it. My fiancé & i are big on seafood restaurants . Great service by Malachi he was on it for our requests on dinner items & drinks. Matt answered some of our questions about the new Lure fish house. Staff were super friendly & helpful. Excellent food and we will definitely be back soon with our friends and family. Gives us more of a reason to make a trip to SLO.

    We were celebrating my husband’s birthday. He had sand dabs which were great, I had harvest salad which was good but not great. The butternut squash and the brussel sprouts could have had more flavor. I would probably try something else next time. They gave a very nice birthday sundae. Great prices and great service!

    Wait staff and front desk very pleasant and inviting. Ambience great. Noise level a bit too much, but since we were only 2 we could hear each other. In a bigger group, it would be more difficult.

    Our server Liz was incredible and we had the most delicious return visit, as I've probably been here six times since it opened last year. This food is so consistent and fresh. It's unbelievable. I wish the general manager was paying more attention to the Cal Poly calendars, knowing that there are a lot of people here who stay through on Monday on an event weekend because the servers were working, ridiculously hard to keep up with the demand of what would normally be and otherwise slow Monday night. The general manager should look at every Cal Poly calendar, from drop off dates of students to pick up dates of students to big game, weekends, to WOW and SLO days (yes, these are separate events, but all involve a parent driving a student to town and the parents staying there for 2 to 3 days) and recognizing that this is not like a normal tourist town. We have locals, we have Residence and then we have parents who come in and out regularly that keep the business going in this town. The GM's staff worked so incredibly hard, but it was near impossible to keep up with the demand on this Monday night. Our server Liz was off the charts incredible, and so was our hostess, who went above and beyond to assist, I think her name was Cally. I will always come back because the food is so good but the one thing that is frustrating is the amount of turnover management and the fact that just as a observer, I believe every Top manager needs to listen to the customers and their staff.

    The food was wonderful. The sand dabs were outstanding and we loved the salad. Our waitress was cheerful and helpful. We're glad we tried Lure. Will probably come back on a week night or for lunch when they are not so busy.

    Had a great experience overall. My only gripe is that I made a reservation for 7:30 pm and it still took 20 minutes to get a table. Otherwise, it would have been 5 stars across the board.
