Solid but not mind blowing steakhouse and seafood grill on Ventura Beach... Stopped into Aloha while in town for work. We wanted to eat beachside and Aloha offered just that with great Pacific views and vibes. Our server Evan was simply outstanding... Friendly, comical (hilarious dad jokes), and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. The food itself was good, but not out of this world... Nice local beer selection, excellent ahi app, good steakhouse salad, but just an okay filet (the steak was cooked to medium rare as requested, but it was not seared or seasoned well). Was Aloha good enough to come back to? Yes, but it wouldn't be my first choice when dining in Ventura Beach. read more

Fabulous Aloha! We had outstanding food and service! The halibut was THE BEST I've ever had, seriously ever! The service was spot on, and everyone was friendly. They are dog friendly, and our dog loved her beef dinner. We walked on the boardwalk by the beautiful Pacific Ocean and enjoyed every minute. We're going back soon. We parked in a big nearby structure for $2. There probably is other parking. read more

Hi Have eaten there many times and the food and service seems to be more mediocre or poor. last time was in 7/14/26, our 30th anniversary which we told them about as they asked what we were celebrating. After a glass of wine and an appetizer at the bar happy hour we sat down for steak and lobster. overpriced and the steak wasn't cooked medium. The table wasn't wiped well sticky and the server wasn't having a good night. my wife gets very anxious if I ever make a request or change anything so I waited until I got home. Called about 8 pm no answers. next day filled the contact form and thus far no response. it was a wasted $150 and I won't go or recommend them to anyone until they explain to me what went wrong. Dissapointing read more

Evan is the bomb best waiter ever/ bar tender. I ordered the Halibut with macadamia crusted and coconut rice beyond delicious fresh and very savory! Beautiful ocean view! Incredible service! The best! Everyone enjoyed their meals. Please support! read more

I've been here a few times, and honestly, I'd rate it as pretty mediocre. In my opinion, it's not really a standout steakhouse. The customer service was excellent and the drinks were very good, but the food itself was just okay. The steaks lacked flavor and nothing on the menu really impressed me. It feels like a more old-school dining experience, which some people may enjoy, but the hype didn't live up to my expectations. It's worth trying at least once, but personally, I'm not a big fan. read more

The food was incredible. We had the halibut macadamia nut crusted with coconut rice. Oh it was so good. I am dreaming about it right now. We have been going to Aloha for 22 years. It's mine and my husband's go to place for fancy nights and he's worked there for years and knows all the workers and Beth yesterday showed us nothing but amazing service and took great care of us. Our anniversary is this month and she made us feel so special and it was just an amazing evening and the ambience at aloha is probably top notch to any restaurant in Ventura. We will be back. Thank you to Beth for making it amazing read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant looking for an exquisite dinner. Unfortunately, I got the catch of the day halibut. My wife got the scallops. It was not good @ all. Being right on the water you expect good food right . Well This wasn't the case. My haiilbut tasted as if it had been thawed and cook.... So sad because we had high expectations for a 170$ dinner. Wedge salad was bomb tho. read more

Aloha Steakhouse - Frozen halibut - Steakhouses Near Me - Ventura, California

so I have been eating at the Aloha for over 10 years.... I always get the same thing... a CowBoy rib-eye steak.... you all know what a rib eye looks like. Recently I was eating there and when my steak came it was missing about 25% of the meat trimmed off the edge. The price was the same... but the perimeter of the steak has been trimmed off. I asked the manager and he said... oh that is just how the steak is. I said I literally order this meal at least twice a month for 10 years and this steak has had 25% of the meat trimmed off.... so Aloha is cutting the quality and quantity of what you order but still charging the same price.... the two pics below are the CowBoy rib eye... the one on the right is what they are supposed to look like with the tenderloin portion on the perimeter.... the one on the left is the untouched "trimmed" one I ordered at Aloha... Terrible rip off read more

This is my favorite ocean front restaurant in Ventura. It's located next to the parking structure. Theres a boardwalk out front too so you can take a stroll or sit on a bench and enjoy watching the waves. Call ahead and make a reservation. You want to ask for a booth or if you want to watch the sunset over the ocean- ask for one of the tables next to the glass window. Everything I've tried so far is delicious. One of my favorites are their SPICY AVOCADO EGG ROLLS. They're fried to perfection: crispy, with a creamy filling and hints of sun dried tomato. This dish comes on a bed of little white crunchy noodles that I ended up sprinkling on top with the dipping sauce. If you love bleu cheese and mushrooms, I recommend the BLACK AND BLEU TOP SIRLOIN medium.. it is to die for. I ordered it with the house salad and was not a fan of cranberries on top. I also ordered a side of SWEET POTATO FRIES. Some of the best I've ever had and the portion was plentiful. It took a lot of willpower to stop eating after I was full. My hubby got the PRIME RIB with garlic mashed potatoes and that was incredible as well!! I haven't had a Bloody Mary in a while and was craving something spicy other than my go t spicy Margie's, so I went for it. My goodness, it hit the spot! Next time I'm going for the Bloody Mary Luau- which is a meal and drink all in 1: the menu says it comes with a burger slider,piece of chicken, shrimp, bleu cheese, bacon, and green olives. Can't wait to go back! read more

I scheduled a lunch with a group of my friends before I knew the VC Fair was happening. Valerie was such a friendly and attentive server, the two of us who made it really enjoyed our lunch at Aloha despite the difficulties. We especially liked the lunch deal that included an entré, salad AND drink. We thanked Valerie for the salad being so delicious and didn't need any adjusting (I have trouble with raw onions which were not included). I would definitely encourage my group of friends to consider Aloha for a nonFair day! read more

The food was pretty good and I was happy they had vegan options. I had the vegan burger which was a beyond burger patty. Everything in the burger was vegan even the sauce. The beach view across the way was really nice. You can walk along the boardwalk after dinner. I would recommend reservations. read more

Returned to Aloha for my birthday dinner last week and overall had a nice experience. The drinks are always great here - the Malibu Third Point is my favorite! I loved the herb crusted salmon as well as the sides of creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. Perfectly cooked salmon for the 3 of us who ordered it. The entrees come with one side but I love that you can add additional sides for only $3 (including a side salad or soup). I took some of my dinner home and it was equally as good the next day. The prices were reasonable as well. Our server was just fine - he was friendly but did seem to forget about us on a couple of occasions. Ambiance is one of the main reasons people come here - hard to beat that ocean view! Be sure to bring your parking ticket if you park in the structure as they will validate for two hours! read more

Alex our host absolutely made our day!! It was our old girls beach day. I went in to get a puppy paddy for our old girl, Marley, as she needed to eat and he was the absolute best! Our girl is 10 years old and we wanted to spend her day at our favorite beach. I explained to him our situation with her and he instantly knew without me having to say more!! Without a doubt he is absolutely attentive and charismatic, he always made sure I was updated with what was going on with our food! Because of him i truly recommend this place. I truly commend him for all that he does and i will for sure will be back due to him! He truly made today, a day to remember for my family and I. read more

This has been our "go to" Special occasion dining spot for 20+ years. Ivan, our waiter was top notch . Excellent service, appropriately attentive & made sure everything was great. The macadamia crusted mahi mahi was cooked to perfection as was the medium rare filet. The house salad was a festival of crunches. The BD pie slice was the icing on the meal. Looking forward to our next special dining treat. Cheers ! read more

Food: for appetizers we ordered Calamari and the crostini. Calamari was a bit disappointing, it lacked the seafood flavor it deserves. I prefer cheesecake's calamaris way more. The crostini was a recommendation from our serve and big big kudos to her because that was delicious! I highly recommend to get that if you'll be going here. For the main dishes, I got the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and Cesar salad. I loved the Cesar salad! The dressing is the star of the salad. My husband ordered a burger and he was happy with it. My mother in law ordered the fish and chips--if you're a seafood restaurant, your fish and chips should be on point and theirs was definitely pretty damn good. Service- our server was very friendly and gave great recommendations. Ambiance- we sat outside to enjoy the weather. The inside was clean though. read more

Came here while vacationing and it was great. It's beachfront so you get all the views and the fresh breeze. The hostess greeted us immediately as we walked in the front door. We sat outside since we had our dogs with us. The staff were also very nice to our dogs and brought them a bowl of water. The steak was great and our food was ready quickly. Servers were attentive and checked on us frequently. They also have a doggie menu and our dogs loved their huge patties. They also validated our parking so don't forget. read more

Decided to check this place out. Made reservations online for a booth. Got there and was seated shortly with my seating request. Was not too crowded, but definitely the waiting staff were busy. Our waiter was absolutely amazing, he kept us in check, made sure our drinks were filled without us asking. We had the top sirloin and ribeye steak dinner which were cooked perfectly. I wish I coulda hugged the chef that made them, it was served hot and the taste was juicy, my mouth is watering writing this review, Ha! We cleared our plate cleaned! Lastly, I wanted dessert. Without a doubt, our server knew exactly what I wanted once I said "dessert". KONA PIE, was the bomb sticky bomb!!! My dear people, I hope you enjoy dining here as I did. We were thanked by the manager or owner for coming to try their food. Our Aladdin (cant remember his name) of a waiter was on top of his game for anything we asked for he got it! Hats off to the master cooks who crafted our steaks to perfection read more

The service is the BEST. The staff are career food service folks and they try to please the customer. This kind of incredible service is tough to find these days. The ambiance is always festive but especially around the holidays. The food is fresh, well sauced, and made exactly how you want it. They ask plenty of questions before putting your order in so it's how you like it. I ordered the black and blue sirloin with blue cheese sauce. My man ordered the macadamia crust halibut with side of garlic mash. Everything was delicious! We come here yearly and it never disappoints. read more

Had such a great dinner at Aloha Steakhouse in Ventura. The food was delicious (perfectly cooked steak and amazing sides), but what really made the night was our waitress, Joleen. She was warm, attentive without hovering, and just had the best energy. You can tell she genuinely cares about her tables. And the ocean view? Unreal. Watching the sunset while enjoying dinner made the whole experience feel special. We'll definitely be back and asking for Joleen again! read more

Went to the Aloha steakhouse for what I felt was always a standard for fresh seafood in Ventura, Ordered the halibut.

Dog friendly, nice place to people/dog watch and great service! We came here for the cowboy steaks. It came with a side (we chose loaded garlic mashed potatoes) and also had side salad. Wife also had the clam chowder and said it was one of the best she's had. They actually had clams, and tasted like clams instead of bacon. The steaks were a good size and depending on your appetite, can have left overs or enjoy the whole steak! The loaded garlic mashed potatoes were good. They had sour cream, cheese and chives. We were originally going to order a cheap steak for the pup, but the waitress informed us they had a chicken or beef menu for pups ( was reasonably priced around $7 for either or). I wish I took a pic of the dog portions ( wife thought it was too much to feed for one meal so we had left overs for our pup too). The steaks were cooked well near the bone (I like my steaks rare and near the bone is usually undercook, but they did a great job cooking it). I liked how they seasoned the steaks and didn't add any teriyaki sauce. Would definitely try this place out again and Krypto enjoyed himself too (you can see him smiling in one pic) read more

The scallops were a little overcooked. read more

We had a great time @ Aloha Steakhouse. We stayed across the street @ the Crown Plaza hotel and decided to hop over to Aloha for Dinner. From the moment we walked in I knew we were in for a good time. The vibes were festive, cozy, and intimate The highlight of our night aside from the yummy food and great company; was our server Evan. He started by making drink recommendations (pictured - lemon drop and blood orange margarita.) They were soo yummy. At that point we decided we would let Evan take the wheel and recommend everything else we had that night. It did NOT disappoint. We were soo happy with our appetizer and dinner selections. @ Evan thank you for giving us such a great dining experience. Your hospitality is superb. Keep doing what you do!! We will definitely be back. Next time hopefully before sunset. I hear if you get a spot on the patio or window view table before the sun sets it's beautiful. read more

One of my go to restaurants but last Sunday, the food was horrible. I got the herb crusted chicken which I've had many times before and even with a steak knife, I could barely cut into it because it was so dry and hard. I didn't want to make a fuss because we were with friends, but it was horrible. On a positive note, the drinks are pretty good. What happened to the chicken? I had to leave most of it because I couldn't cut into it. read more

The 2 stars was for the view of the ocean. Went to Ventura for the weekend and last night we decided the view and the restaurant looked like a good spot to dine. Servers name was Christi, we got there at 7:23 sat on the patio so we could see the sunset. Too bad the clouds were in the way. Our order was not taken right away. We got drinks and our appetizer around 7:50. We got the artichoke, so much lemon it was hard to eat, too bitter. We waited to order the food, that took another 25 minutes. We waited almost a full hour to get the food and we were told it was due to a large party indoors. It wasn't that bad tbh (I'm a chef they had plenty of servers for that) there were only two of us. Our plates finally came when we were about to get up and ask to pay for what we had had and leave. The plates were sloppy. The food just tossed on. Small portions and if you want sides it's 3 dollars more for every side. So you can have a lobster tail and a baked potato but don't think you'll be wowed over it. For two people the total w tip 189.00 not worth it at all. And vegetables or salad with it cost 3 dollars more, not really a good place for a large group. The server did give us a dessert for having to wait for so long, she brought out an ice cream cake slice to share. This came after waiting again just to get the check. It was almost 10 pm when we left. If you have plans after dinner like we did don't go here. Service was too slow if you don't sit inside they don't seem to care. The lobster was ok slightly tough. The Parmesan crusted orange roughy was good. When we got there it was daylight when we left the beach was already closed as was everything else. Including photos, like I said lackluster plates from a chefs point of view. read more

I started with the incredible wedge salad -- the large head of lettuce was fresh and crisp. The tomatoes were ripe and paired well with the tangy blue cheese dressing. The blue cheese crumbles cheese crumbles rounded out the dish perfectly. I'm vegetarian, so I ordered mine without bacon. For my entree, I ordered the Bistro Vegan Burger. Since converting to vegetarianism, I'm not able to eat burgers as often as I used to. I otherwise would have missed out on this burger in my carnivorous days. It was terrific, and not once did I miss a beef patty. I'm not sure what the patty was composed of (I don't think it was Impossible or Beyond), but it was sizable and meaty. The vegan mozzarella cheese added a familiar, tasty layer of creaminess. However, the star of the show was the blend of caramelized onions and mushrooms -- the rich, earthy flavor of the mushroom was elevated by the sweetness of the caramelized onions. I ate the vegan bacon separately. I find the artificial smoke flavor too overpowering, and I don't think it would have added much to the sandwich. I also ate the spring mix separately as eating the burger as a handheld was difficult as is. The fries were also excellent -- lightly seasoned and fried to perfect crisp. The service was excellent, and I liked the laid-back atmosphere. I hope to return soon to explore the menu. read more

Aloha Steakhouse is a place I used to go to regularly with my grandparents growing up and it's been interesting to revisit it over time. It definitely feels like it was better back then but it has still stood the test of time as a solid local spot on the beach. Service is fine but nothing out of this world. The staff is polite and things run smoothly but there's nothing particularly memorable about the experience. Food came out as ordered and in a timely manner which I appreciated. Everything was consistent and straightforward without any issues. Overall it's a reliable restaurant if you're looking for a casual steakhouse experience but not necessarily a standout dining destination. read more

First, the positives! Service was friendly and attentive, and the artichoke and mushroom appetizer was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Both the regular ribeye and the filet were cooked perfectly and very enjoyable. Now, the disappointments. Unfortunately, the Alaskan King Crab legs--one of the main reasons I chose this restaurant--have apparently been off the menu for over a year, though they're still listed online. The Cowboy Ribeye was far too salty; it truly tasted like a mistake. We should have sent it back, but that's never easy to do in the moment. The lamb was also slightly overcooked, so if you prefer it pink, I'd recommend ordering it medium rare. I had noted in our reservation that we were celebrating two birthdays, but that went unacknowledged. We were also seated at a table right by the front door, with no view--disappointing, especially since I'm a local and had chosen this restaurant to give my out-of-town guests an ocean-view experience. Overall, while the service and a few dishes were excellent, several missed details and unfulfilled expectations left the evening feeling less special than I had hoped. read more

We came for a beer but stayed for the Happy Hour appetizers! Service was very fast even though they were busy. Food took a while to come out but when it did it was fresh and delicious.

Aloha Steakhouse was my first choice for my mom's birthday. Our party enjoyed a spectacular meal: herb-crusted chicken, grilled salmon, baked potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, macadamia crusted orange roughy, teriyaki kabobs and Caesar salad, followed by the famous Kona Pie (macadamia ice cream, chocolate cookie crust, chocolate sauce, almonds and whipped cream). The server was so helpful, attentive and friendly, and the beautiful back dining area in which we were sat faces the ocean and pier. Thank you Aloha Steakhouse! read more

We stayed another day in Ventura. We decided to try out Aloha Steak in Ventura on a Wednesday evening, right by the beach near the pier, this place was lively! Even midweek, it was packed, but we got a table quickly and checked out their happy hour menu, which was seriously awesome. We got a bit carried away with the ordering--the clam chowder was a total standout, super creamy and bursting with flavor. The chicken satay was alright but a little dry. The fish and chips were solid, with flaky fish and perfectly crispy fries. And the shrimp cocktail? Those shrimps were huge and super fresh. Service was a bit slow, likely because of a big party in the restaurant keeping the staff busy. Still, the food quality was top-notch, and the ocean view from our table was fantastic--such a great Ventura beach vibe. Plus, free parking with validation was a nice perk. If you're after a vibrant spot for a meal by the water, Aloha Steak's a solid choice for a weeknight or any night! read more

Service was embarrassingly slow but nothing compares to the disappointment of the filet. Knowing they had "black and blue" fillets on the menu we specifically asked if they could do "rare or blue if possible but not charred - no char" and we were told yes. The food came out overly charred and after bringing it up it was taken back. Second time it came out it was pretty much the same but instead of complaining we cut into it, inspected and left it. For context: A blue steak is very rare, with a cool red center and a minimal, uncharred exterior, while a black and blue steak has a heavily charred, black exterior and a cool red, rare center, resulting from being cooked on extremely high heat for a very short time. Photos are from the second attempt because I would never judge a place on their first attempt. read more
