    I ordered my steak medium it came medium rare. My husband ordered lobster and it was overcooked by the time they brought me back my steak cooked properly. My husband was finished eating, and there was no compensation from the manager. We won’t be going back

    Despite inside reservation, hostess wanted to seat us outside. Hostess agreed to sit us inside with a time limit of 1 hour. During our dinner multiple tables were left unseated inside. When asked, staff just shrugged it off.

    1st time here for dinner. Came here to celebrate a birthday, (which was noted on reservation but nothing was done by staff to commemorate it) as many others were too for staff brought out ice cream for them. 🤷‍♀️ I ordered the ribeye w/ sides baked potato & wedge salad. It was the best ribeye I've had in awhile. Tender and juicy. The baked potato did not disappoint w/all the fixings & enough to last to the last bite. The wedge salad, nice and crisp. Enjoyed my dinner. As far as the ambience, I would have preferred a more mellow setting but it was a Friday evening so I would recommend earlier in the week. Will be back.

    Perfection. Thank you so much for such an amazing lunch with the BEST service. I was the Hawaiian-styled gal who married the Scotsman in full traditional Scottish kilt and fly plaid on Friday. It was a small gathering of about 20 family members and friends. My husband and I came a week before to have lunch and spend the day there in Ventura. We came from the northern suburbs of Los Angeles, and my husband is from Scotland. The food was great, the creme brulee was very good. I am going to ask that you have more vegan dishes and gluten free /dairy free egg free dishes. I am actually allergic to certain ingredients, so I had to order certain things and substitute. Our crowd had people with food sensitivitues and they were fine, but limited. Is it possible to make a Kona pie with nondairy ice cream and gluten free oreos (they exist)? It is my fave pie... Thank you making our family gathering for our wedding so special. We will always come to your restaurant every time we are in Ventura and highly recommend your place to everyone!

    In my OpenTable reservation, I specifically asked for outside seating and noted that this was a business meeting. The hostess completely ignored the request and seated me and my client inside in the noisiest part of the restaurant while there were other tables far better suited to my request. The pictures of the restaurant on OpenTable are not representative. The interior is tired and not very clean. The food was OK. Presentation was poor. The only good thing about the restaurant was the service. The waitstaff were excellent.

    our server, joleen, bent over backwards to accommodate, we even had two youngesters under 10. It was my son and grandkids birthday. I was told that the restaurant does not sing happy birthday, but she managed to wrangle another girl and sing the traditional song. Very nice setting and very good food.

    Great view and nice decor. The food was on the higher side for the quality that we got. Neither one of us were blown away at the dishes, seemed like a standard meal at average restaurant. We didn’t order steak, so maybe that would have been different. I ordered a vegetarian dish and my husband ordered fish. The vegetables were basic, the fish was okay and the portabello was okay. The appetizer was decent but we didn’t want anything spicy, so the server told us it wasn’t but then it was served with chili flakes on it. Seemed like a nice family vibe in there, but because of the quality of food for the money, we won’t be returning. Lovely atmosphere though and the severs were very nice.

    Have been going here for special occasions since it opened. In the past, the restaurant has been exceptional in both food quality and service. On May 30th, I am sad to report that has significantly changed. A few months prior, we had a family dinner here that several mentioned the quality was not at the level of expectation. Last night I decided to give them another try, as one disappointment, in my opinion, is not enough to judge a restaurant. Unfortunately, last night's dinner disappointed again. Server as rushing us through the evening and when I go out to an expensive dinner, I like to relax and make it an enjoyable experience. I expressed my discussed this with the manager, Dan and later the waitress apologized and claimed she was just trying to make us feel that we not being ignored. I have been going to many dinners and can tell an attentive waitress from a rushing waitress. That being said, the name Aloha Steakhouse implies that steak quality and preparation is their mantra. My top sirloin steak was not only poor quality, it was ordered medium, showed up rare, was sent back to the kitchen for correction, came back still rare, but my baked potato had been reloaded with sour cream, which was not needed! Sorry to say, I don't need 3 strikes, 2 will do, to remove this restaurant from my go to list!

    It was a nice restaurant but the service wasn’t what I was expecting and the food didn’t make up for it. Usually when I book on Open Table the restaurants are all amazing. I love to give 5-star ratings to most places because I’m not picky. I don’t think we will visit this place again. It was near the beach (practically on the beach) with little to no beach views. The food was good but I was not impressed. The wife loved the herb crusted salmon. I liked the fries. It was Mother’s Day so I was understanding of the poor service, just wish the food would have made up for it.

    Service was excellent. Location is yards from the beach near the Ventura pier. This is one of our favorite Ventura restaurants. We were seated promptly at 4pm. My clam chowder was served cold. 3 out of 4 steaks were served distinctly undercooked, e.g. prime rib, cowboy steak, and filet mignon, all ordered medium. The rib-eye was overcooked. We didn’t send any back as we were hungry. Salads were fresh and tasty with great ingredients.

    For my first time goin here I was very disappointed. Took forever to be acknowledged and served our drinks. Took another 30 min to be asked if we want to order appetizers. 20 min later to be asked if we’re ready to order food. By that point we didn’t even want to eat anymore so we just left and to top it off it was my and my partners anniversary so it was a pretty bad experience.
