★★★★★ 5.0 Beryl Lu · Feb 2026

This was one of the first restaurants i've ever had when i first moved down to sb, and I have gone pretty much every month ever since. I always recommend this place to other people. The ambience is so welcoming, super friendly, and the staff is so patient and friendly. The fresh sourdough complementary bread is the reason I keep coming back sooo often. The food comes out promptly every time and all their seafood and produce is always very fresh. I recently had an incident with a very disrespectful waiter, which I knew was not reflective of the restaurant’s usual high standards , as I’ve been there a couple times before and it my experience has always been the total opposite. Thankfully, I was able to speak with the manager, Katelyn, who handled the situation so professionally and kindly.

★★★★★ 5.0 Johnny Auyoung · Feb 2026

Complimentary sourdough bread - served hot with whipped butter! This was a satisfying start because the last restaurant we went to earlier in the day was served cold bread with stiff butter. Raw Oysters - grassy bar from morro bay. Tasted fresh, non fishy, and premium as described. Charbroiled oysters - flavorful and tender. Actually went well with the complimentary bread. Lure fries - thinner cut, crispy, and well seasoned. Supposedly they use lemony seasoning they usually flavor fish with. Clam linguini - perfect balance of flavor, lightness, and health, with plenty of clams. Not too thick or heavy. Service: Julissa was very friendly and welcoming to first timers and explained items on the menu well, including their local daily catch menu. We also sat by the back wall for more quiet

★★★★☆ 4.0 Seven Summers · Dec 2025

Nice atmosphere, we sat in the bar for happy hour and it's pretty noisy in there. If you get a table on the patio I'm sure it's less noisy. The happy hour specials are a good deal with good amounts. I enjoyed the Clam Chowder and Pop Rock Shrimp. The Calimari was good but the sauces weren't my favorite. The dishes came out quickly. Service was friendly but perhaps too busy to give our table focused attention. We had to ask 3 times for some tartar sauce, two dishes came to the table that we didn't order, and they forgot that we had ordered a Cod Taco. It's a good place to get some happy hour specials and a drink or two but there may be some areas that could use improvement.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lisa · Jan 2026

I was quite impressed by Lure. The happy hour menu was great, lots of seating. The clam chowder was VERY good and the muscles were the best I’ve had in a long time. Our service was kindof weird and inattentive but the food and drinks were good. The oysters are massive. I’d definitely go back.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Soomin Choi · Nov 2025

Today, I came for lunch with my friend and my husband, who was visiting Lure for the first time. I used to really love this restaurant, so I was disappointed with both the service and the food today. Usually, the servers here are kind and have great table manners, but unfortunately, that was not the case this time. Our server did not show professional service manners. When she served our water, she almost banged the glass on the table, and she repeatedly made loud noises while placing our dishes down, compared to other servers. She also did not place the dish in front of me. Instead, she set it far from my seat without asking where it should go. The order in which our dishes were served was also unusual. The starter bread was very soggy inside and tasted old. The main dish and salad were
