Lure Fish House - San Luis Obispo (CA)

4 /5 Dawson Troy “big cat”: Highly recommended, decided I would check it out while Im in San Luis Obispo. I ordered the New England clam chowder, and fish and chips. The clam chowder was exceptional, the creaminess and consistency of the chowder was perfect, the potatoes and bits of clam were cooked so that they added great depth to the chowder. However, the fish and chips fell short of my expectations, especially on how well the clam chowder was prepared and served. The fries had an off flavor to them, I couldnt quite figure out why or what it was. And the fish carried a lot of oil with it, so it had a slightly oily flavor that I was not expecting. Ive had fish and chips at other places, and have not had this issue. The ambience and the service was spectacular.

5 /5 Kiu Siu: Very good seafood restaurant in San Luis Obispo. The ambiance is clean and elegant. The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered the grilled oysters as appetizers. The oysters were well seasoned and perfectly cooked, very delicious. For entrees we ordered the cioppino and the grilled branzino special of the day. They were both delicious as well.

4 /5 Rich Pivo: Food was excellent, atmosphere was posh but welcoming. Staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, but should be more attentive to plates which should be removed from the table, instead of leaving them throughout the meal. Highly recommended and will return, and encourage others to do so.

5 /5 Frank: 8 Dec 2025: Lure had a miss tonight. Oysters were again good, cocktail could have been done better, but the Ciopinno was a big miss. Scallops were done nicely, but the rest seemed a bit dry. And the sauce was both lacking in typical volume, had no special flavor, and was very oversalted. So neither the chef nor sous chef tasted it. 4 Aug 2025 review: Always great. Luca at the bar very personable. Oysters were great. Ciopinno always great. Key lime pie fantastic (like tartness and less cheesecake like than others, and a nicely crumbling crust; a Luca recommendation). Will be coming back again.
