Restaurants near Oak View

“By far my most favorite Thai restaurant. Everything we have is amazing.”

“Lovewell understood the assignment. This is their second location, the OG is in the Avenue, but the Oak View spot is perfectly placed for those of us trying to romanticize life on the way to work instead of just surviving it.

The space is small but full of light, and it feels cozy in a way that makes you want to linger without feeling squished. The owners are genuinely kind. I asked about “The Goodfella” specialty drink and they explained it without a hint of coffee snob energy. We love knowledgeable and approachable.

Also… they bring your drink to you while you’re waiting. I appreciate this so much. It’s such a small thing but it feels thoughtful.

There’s a solid lineup of fresh baked pastries if you need a little treat moment. And the message on the cups just makes you smile. It feels intentional in a quiet way, not performative.

Can’t wait to return. And parking is easy, which honestly seals the deal.”

“Q-Time catered our 75 people wedding at camp comfort . They were amazing is an understatement. Aaron and his assistant were the best . We’re having people call us to ask where we got the food . Mom wants to know the recipe for their chili beans . We’re very pleased . They were very easy to work with and top notch ! Thank you Q time ! Just stop by at OV ranch market and try it in there .”

“I’ve always loved eating pizza here—it brings back great memories. It’s been years since I last came with friends, and that sense of nostalgia still makes the experience special. One small idea that could truly elevate the place: offering pizza by the slice. I’m confident it would attract more customers and significantly boost sales. The restaurant itself is refreshingly old-school and impressively clean, which I really appreciate. I’d give it a solid 4 to 5 stars. With a few thoughtful upgrades, it could easily become a standout favorite again.”

“they are sweet and kind”

“Authentic Mexican food I'm going there tomorrow yummy breakfast”

“Stupendous!!!!! Amazing! I cannot put into words how wonderful our meal was. Thank for the pleasure of experiencing your talent. Bravo!”

“We love the food and ambiance❤️”

“Okay but Ojai on a weekday with actual energy??? I was shook (in a good way).

Yes, technically we have The Hub holding it down till 2am… but overall let’s be real, Ojai is a sleepy town. So walking into Radio Roma felt like a plot twist.

The vibe? Dim, cozy, a little moody in that effortless way. It’s on the smaller side but it works. There’s a loft upstairs you can actually see from below, which adds to the whole layered, intimate feel.

The hi-fi listening room is what really sets it apart. Vintage sound system, DJs actually curating music, people tuned in. Not just filler noise, it’s a whole moment.

Cocktails were solid, especially if you’re into mezcal. They’re known for it and it shows. The mezcal Negroni?? Yeah… that’s the one. Smooth, balanced, a little smoky, dangerously easy to keep ordering.

Service is easygoing, no fuss. Grab a drink at the bar and head upstairs to the loft for the best view, trust.

Haven’t tried the food yet so can’t speak on that (for now), but between the music, the crowd, and the drinks alone… I’ll definitely be back.”

“best pizza, bagels, and hoagies!”

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think I'm the only person who didn't like my meal. It just wasn't hearty enough for me, the eggs seemed small. I should have ordered the burrito.
My aunt loved her maitake toast. My niece liked her cheeseburger but got too full on her hot chocolate to finish it, lol. The hot chocolate was good, but there was a $5 for oatmilk! Unless I misread the receipt... if so I'll come back to edit this.
My friend enjoyed her burrito and I was very jealous how good it looked. I got the chilaquiles and was just not a fan. The guacamole didn't taste like avocado at all, so I didn't eat it. I did finish the rest of my meal only because I was so hungry.
I also ordered the pancake for the table and was expecting a much bigger pancake for $15. It was good with the lemon cream but I have had better pancakes.
The only other issue was the amount of flies in the restaurant. They were all over the windows and all over us. It was annoying. I hope they're able to take care of the issue.”

“The food is so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant, and the people are very friendly.”

“6 out of 5 stars. food speaks for itself. chicken penang curry was out of bounds. wish i took a picture for you. dining room is small and was busy during Sunday dinner. worth the patience”

“Just a heads up to everyone.. they're closed until Jan 17 2022 :(”

“Not only was the food delicious but it was visually appealing as well!”

“Steve monahon, Introduced ME, & My Girlfriend to the Excellent Food in Ventura county The West end White House!”

“The honey lavender ice cream is delicious! It’s balanced well between the two—not too sweet, not too floral. They modernized the decor which is a shame because the 70s decor gave it charm, but the service is just as good.

You can get a cake cone, small cone, waffle cone, or waffle bowl. They also have dairy-free options for vegans and people allergic to dairy.”

“A beautiful friendly restaurant with a unique and delicious menu and drinks.”

“This place is all natural. I stumbled on this cute shop via instagram. The vibe makes you feel like you traveled to the caribbean and left california temporarily. There was a lady trying out samples of the juices while i was there and she couldnt stop talking about how good the santa rosa juice was. I highly recommend getting the dirty monkey smoothies. They offer acai bowls, juices, smoothies and cleanse programs. The employees are very sweet and kind. Free small parking lot. Reasonable prices. Dont forget to sign up for their reward programs as well.”

“if you don't go here you are missing out the food is delicious. The staff is great and you can tell the owner has a big heart. Also, remember there is one in Ventura on Main Street next to the movie theater and the other is in oxnard in the collection across from REI enjoy the food”

“I gotta say it's was my first time being there to experience the breakfast on the cozy patio. I order the pecan pancakes with crispy bacon and their special syrup so deelish. The beignets are magnificent. The staff super Friendly!!! I highly recommend you try this French restaurant out . Follow Your Taste Buds!!!”

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!”

“We all loved Paradise Pantry , the food, the presentation, and the service were all fantastic The attached gourmet wine and cheese store is not to be missed. This place is a real gem in Ventura Ca.”

Parking: Panda Express is very close and there is parking around the whole area.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a fun store for people of all ages!”

“The Freedom coffee shop is outside, in front of the ocean. It's the closest to the hotel, just a 1-minute walk away. I love it. You can enjoy your coffee while watching people surf in front of the ocean. 💙”

“Great place! Excellent food!! Fast service! Clean and friendly atmosphere.”

“Pete's Breakfast House What a great way to start the day! This amazing family-owned restaurant truly has it all—warm and attentive service, fair prices, and an atmosphere full of great energy. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. It’s a positive experience from start to finish, where good food feeds the body and the uplifting vibe fuels the mind. A heartfelt thank you to Lindsey, Olive, and the entire wonderful crew for making our day so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! With gratitude, Tom & Lori Jean Steele”
