They had fresh options. The atmosphere is boisterous. Outside seating was not the best, we were swarmed by bugs, and had to move inside. Loved the oysters, peel & eat shrimp. I had the Sea Bass, was a bit overdone, but good. My friend had the salmon salad. She loved it.

Brophy Brothers Ventura is one of our favorite restaurants in Ventura. The fish and chips are good and so is the clam chowder. Sometimes the chowder is not as hot as it should be. The meal is served with sourdough bread which is always cold. My suggestion is to warm up the bread. Most better restaurants serving bread these days... More

Brophys is an all around amazing place to dine! Its located right on the water in the harbor of Santa Barbara. Ask for a seat outside, especially during a nice day. Clam chowder is to die for and the service is great. Its a must if you are visiting Santa Barbara.

We went for after-dinner drinks, and the hostess was quick to have a couple of tables put together for our party of seven, even though we made it clear that we didn't plan on eating. The server brought us a basket of lovely bread. We ordered a round of drinks, and were deep in conversation when we heard a crash.... More

Brophy's consistently serves up good, quality seafood, albeit from a somewhat limited and boring menu, But it's nice to kick back and enjoy the sticks sprouting up from the Marina while enjoying your favorite libation. And it certainly qualifies as one of the favorite apre work watering holes in the area. And it's loud. The staff are helpful and friendly... More

This restaurant, located by the harbor was packed as expected on a Friday night, but we were seated after a short wait and treated to a good meal at a fair price.

Service was good but main course was actually too fast out of the kitchen. We had just gotten our appetizer when the entrees showed up. Chowder is above average. Nice atmosphere.
