Brophy Bros. Restauraunt Clam - Ventura

Lunch yesterday for the first time visiting Ventura Harbor and boating. This was recommended by locals and it was on the second floor with beautiful port view. We didn't want to wait for a table with sea views, so we sat right away. The staff was nice. It was casual food with inexpensive menu items. We enjoyed our lunch.

We were seated quickly by friendly hostess. Service was good. View of the harbor was what we came for. I was not impressed with the shrimp and scampi pasta dish. And the **** Mary was beyond spicy. Undrinkable in my opinion. The bowl of clam chowder was on point. Could have ate a bucket of that stuff.

One of the major reasons why we keep going back to Ventura Harbor is the pleasure of dining here. Streams of diners all nodding in approval as we start with our clam chowder, bits of fresh clams in a medium thick broth, fish n chips bartered exquisitely and the view was a thrill. Friendly family oriented atmosphere never fails!

This place was very crowded when we came in, and we had to wait for a very long time, so its better to make a reservation. The food is mediocre, and it takes quite a while to prepare. All employees are super fake friendly. Our experience was okay, but far from best.

We sat on the balcony, and had a great time! I tried the Brophy Burger (it was listed as a local favorite) and it was outstanding! The shrimp cocktail tasted great! I really enjoyed their cocktail sauce. The service was warm and friendly. Thanks, and we will be back!
