Servers come and go with each passing quarter at the local colleges, so avoid rush hours or be prepared to linger.

""The fish hop from the water to your plate" at this "casual" Ventura seafooder, where diners devour "fresh" fare and Bloody Marys." Full review
Concierge "For kicks, try an oyster shooter: a fresh bivalve served in a shot glass with cocktail sauce, Tabasco, and Parmesan cheese. The best seats are on the balcony overlooking the wharf."
