I do not know if it was the day, the service or the food. All seem to have had a great sync with what i experienced. The sun and crowd was very appropriate for this Friday afternoon. I had the wonderful Halibut Fish and Chips dish. Great colesaw and fries were crisp and soft with just the right amount of flavor. Thank you John for your hospitality and kindness.

Rumfish is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. So much so that I chose to have a little wedding ceremony there ☺️ I mean this is the place my family goes for any happy occasion, or even when we’re just worn out for the week and not wanting to cook. Every single thing I’ve ever had here is delicious, but it’s not just the food - it’s the atmosphere, the people, the waitstaff, the drinks, the patio…everything. It feels like home. My favorites? The house ceviche, the fried fish and grilled fish tacos, and the key lime pie. Whiskey sour to wash it all down. But seriously and truly, everything there is 10/10. Please go, this restaurant deserves to be loved and celebrated by all - feel free to thank me later!

Great experience at Rumfish! Atmosphere is lovely, food is excellent, and service by Jacqueline was wonderful. Would definitely return! Be sure to make a reservation and have them turn on the heat lamps.

July 2025 Out in Ventura today and decided to revisit Rumfish again. We started by ordering the Fig and Goat cheese salad. It was really good. Also got the Chicken Salbutes. There were two pieces and it was really good. Essentially it is shredded chicken around a masa disc and dressed with greens and dressing. I added a touch of hot sauce and it was great. My wife and i both had the Grilled Sea bass. The Sea bass was cooked and seasoned perfectly and i loved the coconut rice! The server was nice and the service was quick. One minor nit is that inside, it can get loud. For dessert we decided to split a Coconut bread pudding. It was awesome! Overall a great experience! 2022 Great atmosphere and friendly servers. Some of the food was amazing and a couple items were just okay. We came between lunch and dinner and took advantage of the after 3pm happy hour menu. The fish taco was great, the garlic fries were okay, the arugula salad was really good with the figs mixed throughout. I enjoyed the lobster bisque, but it was on the verge of being too salty. For entrees we had the salmon and the halibut. Both were really tasty. The only minor misses was the mashed potatoes were cold, while the fish was hot off the grill. Additionally, things took longer than expected to arrive at our table. The appetizers too about 20 minutes to arrive. I'm guessing it was due to it being mid afternoon. All in all it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We will return to try some of the other food options.

I checked out Rumfish y Vino in Ventura after a Yelp friend recommended it, and wow, it lives up to its high ratings! This spot is all about tapas, and their happy hour menu is a total win. The portions are small, but the flavors are huge. The flatbread with bacon was fabulous—crispy, savory, and just perfect. The pork belly taco was super tasty, and the steamed mussels were straight-up amazing, with great flavor. The outdoor patio was buzzing and filled up fast, clearly the go-to spot for diners. It’s got this mesmerizing European vibe that makes you feel like you’re on a little vacation. Our server was awesome, super friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better. The place was packed on a weekday, so I can only imagine the weekend crowds! Parking’s easy with a free 4-hour public lot nearby. Definitely a spot worth hitting up!

This place was amazing! All the items in the photos were experiences all their own, and the atmosphere was a nice break from the laid back Ventura vibes, and very memorable. The service was very fast and friendly, and we will be telling everyone about this dinner for years to come!

I was in the area for work and decided to stop by Runfish y Vino—and oh my goodness, what a great choice! I had such a fun time trying their delicious dishes. I started with the beet and arugula salad, which was fresh and flavorful. Then I tried both the fried cauliflower tacos and grilled fish tacos. Each had interesting, delicious flavor profiles—though I personally would’ve loved just a bit more seasoning. That’s just me! The watermelon cocktail with rum was incredibly refreshing—I basically inhaled it. For dessert, I had the key lime dessert, and wow… it was an absolute work of art, both visually and taste-wise. My server was truly wonderful—kind-hearted, attentive, and full of great recommendations. His warm energy really added to the whole experience. I dined outside just before sunset, and the ambiance was beautiful. The fresh air, the soft glow of string lights around the trees—it all created such a lovely setting. I’d absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommend!

Came here first with my parents before for brunch and they loved it. Went today for dinner with my fiance & our dog after strolling around the town. They sat us in the patio area, which was warm with plenty of free standing & wall mounted heaters. Ordered 3 different cocktails, all tasted great and the food was also tasty. The servers here are very welcoming and well mannered and provided speedy service. Will definitely come back here when in town. The vibe was great!

This is an indoor outdoor restaurant with a bar. The inside can get loud if you are near the bar. The food is awesome and so is the happy hour menu. All the food was amazing and we tried about 8 entrees mostly small plate. The octopus was absolutely amazing, that dish was executed perfectly and amazing cool flavors! Service was very attentive, educated on the menu, and friendly. A much more friendly local place.

My go to place for special occasions. I love this place. Really good Happy Hour menu. Delicious cocktails. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried here, from the Fish Tacos to the Ribeye Steak. Special shout out for the Baby Gem Salad and the Conch Chowder. Oh and the Caribbean Fish Stew is freaking epic. Don’t sleep on the Fish Stew, yo! There are beautifully set tables inside and outside on a covered patio. I love the patio, but if you want to take photos of your food, you need a table in the center of the patio. The tables around the periphery are too dark for photos. In fact, it’s so dark it’s very difficult to even read the damn menu. Hey Rumfish y Vino, would you please do something about the lighting?

This restaurant came recommended in a google search. Yelp confirmed it was a must go. Very vibrant with airy indoor seating and lots of comfortable outdoor seating. The food was great. Started with Queso Fundido. It was okay. I had the Wagyu Burger and wife had the quinoa salad. Burger was amazing. Fries were mid , but the ranch was fire!!! Some of the best ranch I’ve ever had.

This place is suitable for all: couple, business meetings, family, family with kids... They have both inside and outside seatings. The food is ok but the vibe and service is great. The waiter is very friendly and attentive. The only parking option is outside on the meters. This is a handicap friendly facility.
