""The fish hop from the water to your plate" at this "casual" Ventura seafooder, where diners devour "fresh" fare and Bloody Marys." Full review
"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."

"A reinvention of a same-named local favorite that closed a few years back, the Wine Cask serves bistro-style meals in a comfortable and classy dining room." Full review
