Brophy Bros has been in the Ventura Harbor forever...

Brophy Bros has been in the Ventura Harbor forever. They have a great happy hour where the appetizers are very reasonable. I recently had the steamed clams and an order of the calamari. The steamed clams were plentiful and delicious. They steam them at the bar which is entertaining. I believe the happy hour price was around $8 for a nice sized plate. I very much enjoyed the clams. As for the calamari, I would have to say that their presentation is one of the most uninspired and poorly served calamari dishes I have encountered in Ventura County. The breading barely adhered to the fish and it felt as if the calamari came out of a frozen pre-made bag and thrown into the fryer. The happy hur drink prices were great and the service levels were satisfactory. While the calamari was disappointing, the atmosphere, venue and value will bring me back again.
