It was a very good, 1st-time experience! No reservations, that was problematic for group of 9 except the Ventura Harbor Stores are a good distraction for the long wait. But, the expected 75 minutes was only 40 minutes! We sampled most of the menu, it seemed: I had their signature Ciopanni fish stew - no leftovers. That means it was very good. Others had fish & chips, clam chowder & salad, salmon & rice pilaf, shrimp scampi, tuna melt... It was a fun way to finish Father's Day in Ventura after spending the afternoon at Marina Park on the other side of the harbor. Go to Brophy's! You will enjoy it. Great service, great food, 3 of 4 adults had a wine, sea bass? They liked it. I stuck with Coke and extra bread & butter as we enjoyed the night air & the harbor view.
