What People Are Saying About Lure Fish Bar

Beige banquettes, dark blue accents and a ribbed ceiling set a seafaring tone; round fixtures and copper accents further the cruise-ship vibe. The space draws a similarly showy crowd. The attractive staff looks good, but can be stretched too thin. It's a modern take on the old, big-time seafood house. Mom can have her shrimp cocktail and Dad can dig into a heavenly bowl of clam chowder, bearing tender whole clams and bits of bacon. Both can enjoy treats from the sushi bar or the surprisingly tasty chicken wings.

come for the fish nothing else, added the rancheros as my wife was most upset and now eating fish on the back of them. every cloud and silver lining comes to mind. perfect location hidden deep down away from the millions, a real gem and a lifesaver from endless shopping. prefer the bar than the restuarant and excellent staff always make you feel welcome

enjoyable decor and atmos. my pal's sis has a relative the is managment this place so we are coralled to go quite frequently, we don't get any crazy hook ups but my friends do order well on the apps and I was impressed. the vino flows and the main fish dishes were extremely nice. I would go back (although I have to) of my own volition and would recommend.... Calamari was a stand out item, shrimpie something was also the bomb on the app menu. enojy.

After reading the mixed reviews about this place, I was a little sceptical about going here, but decided to give it a try and see for myself. I came here with my date on Valenetine's day and it was great. The reservations we made were on time and we were quickly seated at our table after they took our coats. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. The music was not too loud. The decor was beautiful. The waitress that served us was very helpful. The yellowtail-jalapeno rolls, Salmon Tartar, California roll, crab cakes, crispy calamari (spicy!), and the seared yellfin tuna were all very good. If you're into seafood or sushi then I do recommend trying this place because you might just very well end up liking it here, if not loving it . The cocktail drinks were okay but not great, but they have an EXTENSIVE selection of wine. The food is pricey but very tasty.
