Brophy Bros Review

Great atmosphere and great food. Happy hour until 7 with amazing deals. I highly recommend!

If you don't like seafood this is not the place for you not much else to choose from. It's a great location. Outdoor seating needed more lighting at night. We've been here the last two years in a row for family members birthday and both times are party of 15 had the worst service I've ever had. Manager blames that always on just being really busy. But that's not the case because the order of operation 4 waitressing is totally backwards. If you want a quick me all this is not the place for you. Manager wasn't very professional. Wine selection is great and I definitely recommend the mud pie

Food was not that great, only gets 3 stars for location. Some of the plainest food in the harbor.

Love coming here with friends every time I'm in town, delicious.

First time here, nice view if the marina, delicious fresh food, had the fish and chips with cole slaw and fries. It tasted amazing. Fish tasted fresh, the batter was crispy and fried to perfection. You could grab the fish stick and not end up with greasy fingers. Their fries and cole slaw were just as good. Also has the Ahi Tuna Salad... OMG this is a meal in itself. Once again super fresh tasting tuna and they serve you plenty of it. Five stars just on the food including taste and presentation. The ambience and the helpful, friendly staff that's another 5 stars.

The seafood is always fresh and well prepared. Great view of Ventura Harbor from the Patio Dining area. Each table has a Hand Sanitizer. It is my go to for fish & chips and clam chowder. The salmon salad has a large piece of salmon on top. Friendly servers.

Came here with a friend, based on his previous good experience! He said that he'd had the best trout ever here!

There are many good draft beer selections. However, I'm deducting a star for dirty menus, and an overall okay dining experience.

Fish & Chips: Tender, crispy and melts in your mouth!! AAA

One of my favorite locations for seafood. The food was tasty. The service here is friendly. The bill was fair. This place has great reviews for a reason.

Great food and great service! Got hot combo and fried scallops as appetizer, seafood pasta, blackened Cajun seabass and a seafood stew. All were excellent. Of the sides, the ride pilaf is highly recommended!

Fish and Chips, scallop and chips, and clam and chips were fresh. The restaurant is on the second floor. The views are beautiful. The prices are moderate. The food portion is excellent.

my wife found this restaurant on Google we decided to try it about a month ago, and since then ,we have come back every weekend on our way back from Santa Barbara, the food is delicious prepared and is exquisite artwork.

Great food for really good prices. Just wish they would have had a/c on such a really hot day.

I am so glad they are open again. We had the fish and chips and a bowl of clam chowder. It was delicious as always and more than enough food. You can dine on the patio right now but we chose take out and was very happy with the way they did it. Everything was perfect.

The food was good! The location and views were beautiful! Loved the Ahi salad and the oyster shooters were tasty too.

Our server Micah was on his game with great service

Great service, always willing to help us with large groups of people. We went once to Andrea's will not go back there again. We have been there now 5 times at Brophy Bros. Seafood and thank you to the management today 7/ 25 / 18

Delicious seafood. Drinks are ok. Come here for the food and the view!

Better than the Santa Barbara location (which i love) bc they have the most AMAZING DESSERT. the service is top notch. Our waiter was very attentive and made us laugh despite the restaurant being very busy. brophy s always has great taste and generous servings. I bring all my visiting friends and family here

Happy Hour Margaritas are the bomb! Definitely recommend them!

Spectacular view and amazing fish and chips. Definitely worth a look.

Decent food, almost a sports bar type atmosphere. Does have a bar in the center.

Manager was fantastic when my child had an allergic reaction.

The food is great. The service was horrible. Our waiter came to our table once and that was to take our order. He didn't even bring us our bill, the bus boy did. And the manager picked it up to run the credit card and returned it to the table. So 1 star for the serive. But, like said before the food was great.

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.

Average food at best. Service a little slow, though it was a very busy Sat night.

Great seafood and bloody marys. Friendly staff and nice gathering of folks. Nice view of the marinas with indoor and outdoor seating.would definitely go there again when in the area.

Service is Excellent!! Food is delicious, oysters fresh, Rockefeller, seafood pasta , Yummy yummy definitely delicious!!

Oysters on the half shell, Seafood pasta Yummy. We keep coming back.

Great atmosphere, great service, great view and excellent food! Our family loves going here and we often bring visitors from out of town as well. We have three little boys and this is one of the few places that they enjoy going to as much as the grownups do. The menu is mostly the same you see at any American seafood restaurant but they do such a great job making it taste super fresh and new. The classics, like fish and chips, calamari and chowder, are simply really well done and I love their cioppino! If you don't try this place out when you're in the area, you're missing out!

Good food. Prepare to spend some money here though. My mom and I had dinner here and she got the seafood pasta and I got the Ahi fish and half dozen clams it turned out to be $64+ tax. Other than that they get sustainable fish and it's a good place.

One of our favorite restaurants, with delicious food, great service, and stunning views.

Food was great. I got the seafood pasta and it was delish! 4 out of 5 because service was very slow

Great place. I just wish they had a few more non fish options for those with allergies. It's hard to go as a family with my allergies.

Loved the fish and chips! 5 stars
Clam chowder, not much. Too thick and salty from having cooked down. 3 stars.
Service, 5 stars.
Ambience, upbeat but a little too loud for my taste. 3.5 stars.

Gotta have the grilled bake clams! service was great and quick with a wonderful view of harbor

Great casual seafood bar and grill. Always a good vibe and good food.

One drunk local falling on froor two to three times and not escorting them out bad ?

Great clam chowder and calamari! The service is great. It does tend to get busy on the weekend but they give you a buzzer while you wait, so you can go walk around the harbor.

Ask for shrimp and a bowl of clam chowder and you dont regret

Excellent service. The clam chowder and oysters Rockefeller are really well done.

BB is overrated. Seafood is not fresh, oysters were bland (probably farmed from the harbor - can you say, ewww), ceviche was "so so," tasted like crab out of a can. The peel and eat shrimp was pretty good. The Brophy Brothers at the Spinnakers isn't as good as the one in Santa Barbara; but then the BB in SB could have gone downhill, too. I don't know.

I love their shrimp cocktail and garlic bread clams. The Ventura location is a little quieter than the Santa Barbara location which I appreciate

Great Happy hour
Try garlic baked clams

Nice location for quality seafood. service is always nice even when they have a full house. it has a great atmosphere. menu is like a cafe in indianapolis i liked.

The food is great however a bit expensive; I would say it's worth it though. I've been coming here for years when in the area for business and have yet to be disappointed.

My suggestion would be sure to make it in for happy hour since they have a great menu for veey reasonable prices.Happy hour is 3PM - 7PM on weekdays.

Perfect place to get primo food in a laid back atmosphere. Service is always friendly. Mud pie is a must have.

Always eat here with my family great sea food at a ok price.

Great harbor views, staff is great. Food is superb. No matter what you order, you will not be dissapointed. Very straight forward and you get what you expect, quality.

Great food, lovely view and excellent service. Our "go to" place when we are in the area.

Very good happy hour we were in the bat. Food and service was very good

The best happy hour in Ventura$ They have so many delicious inexpensive menu items. You should exercise prior to going

Great restaurant in a beautiful location at the Channel Island Harbor. Wonderful family spot with inside seating and patio seating that overlooks the Harbor. If not for a fluke issue with my cajun spiced Sea Bass (very smokey smell and taste - very unusual) I would have rated them a 5. After explaining my issue to our server, 2 managers came over to ask what the issue was and apologized on the spot. They took this off the tab, too. We still tipped on what the higher total would have been since it wasn't our servers fault. Still highly recommend Brophy Brothers!

The atmosphere is jovial the views are fantastic the food is yummy

Good food good service i travel 50 miles one way to eat there, it a fun place to be.

Great views at this location. I find it relaxing when I have lunch here

Haven't been disappointed yet! Always great service. Fresh sea food and stiff drinks.

Always a great atmosphere overlooking the water, and we've never had bad service. The seafood is always fresh and delicious. Even the bloody mary's are also a burst of flavor with fresh horseradish spice. Also can't forget the crispy, chewy sourdough that's a great starter and perfect for dipping into the chowder.

Typical for a tourist-y restaurant. The food is tasty, not very generously portioned though. You can see Two Trees from the covered patio. Expect sparrows to be flitting about looking for food.
