50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Oak View

“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.“

“Awesome little coffee cart on Ventura beach! Great location by the pier and I am OBSESSED with the cute pink cups with the Ventura pier design. Probably the cutest cup I’ve ever seen and it made my morning beach walk from my hotel down to the pier that much better!“

“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.“

“Love ❤️ les meilleurs CroiSSants de Ventura 🥰“

“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“

“Move over, Ojai food scene—Conrad, the reigning general manager and register wizard, wasn’t kidding. This spot isn’t just #1 rated; it’s Ojai’s best-kept culinary secret, hidden in plain sight! The meats? Succulent masterpieces of flavor. The drink selection? A dazzling spectrum, featuring even the elusive Ramune soda for the kiddos (because fizzy fun knows no age limits). And the staff? Long-term legends, serving up both deliciousness and charm with a side of friendly banter. Five stars? Pfft, give them the whole galaxy!“

“A hidden gem on Main Street. We finally tried this place and were super impressed with the quality of the ingredients, the consistent (yes we have come here more than a few times and gotten the same thing) preparation, great and friendly staff, and really bright and welcoming space. All which make Edenic a must go place. One smoothista (basically a smoothie mixologist) gave us a suggestion so good we have been reluctant to try other menu items.“

“Dan closed the brewery down for the Ventura County Sportfishing Club holiday party event. 60-70 members/guests attended. The staff handled the party with aplomb and assured everyone enjoyed the evening. This is some of the best craft beer you can find. The food was amazing and plentiful especially the short ribs. I would encourage a visit for some great beers. And if you are having an event, I would strongly suggest working with these folks. These are some of the nicest people you will find at any establishment in Ventura. I will be a regular.“

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

“I work nights in Ventura Russell's 🍩 saved my life sooooo many times with that Breakfast sandwich Mmmmmm.“

“Wandered into this artsy tasting room one night and immediately felt so welcomed by the affable owner Nigel. I only had time to stay for one small taste of the pinot gris/chenin blanc blend, but it was crisp and refreshing and exactly what I wanted in that moment.“

“Great food great staff great all around fun place“

“Would give this place 10 stars if I could. Everything about this place is perfect! Starting with the friendly staff, and the flavorful food that just hits the right spot. Seldom outside of India would you find a casual, unassuming and surprisingly authentic tapas/cafe style Indian snacks. We are so glad we made a pitstop here on our way from Santa Barbara to universal studios, we were drawn here due to its unique name (kaapi means coffee in Tamil, specifically, their filter coffee) and the super interesting menu items. We would have ordered everything if we could have (we almost did). The cashew paneer dosa was just heavenly, just the right amount of crisp and the creamy yet aromatically spicy paneer is hard to find! The chef has perfected his recipes to the T. the chicken and waffles was a surprisingly authentic twist on the traditional fried chicken, I was so excited to find something like this outside of the south, and was mouthwateringly yummy. The chana puri was even better than the ones I find at South Indian joints - hands down one of the top three places for Indian inspired food in the country (living in the states for over a decade). Wish them all the best on their culinary journey, a true true gem indeed!“

“The food was really fresh and delicious.“

“Great Night with Good people! Food Truck with Great selection and Live music!“

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!“

“We had dinner tonight 10/24 @cafe zack. I made reservation for 6 pax. We seated in the patio and it was beautiful. I ordered rack of lamb (forgot to take photo). I ate every bit. We had Ceasar salad and the rest of the group ordered cowboy rib eye and fettuccine seafood curry. We had the desserts. Everything was delicious. It was our first time and cafe zack didn't disappoint us. We definitely comeback on December 26 for my birthday!“

“By far best Indian food and restaurant in Ventura tried almost everything on the menu food quality and service is great . They also have South Indian specialties like Satbir masala dosa , and uttapam as well.“

“The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great“

“Great brews , food , and music“

“Love Sam's Place they often have great music and their drinks are fantastic 😊 they also have a sweet outdoor patio!!“

“Hands-down, the greatest pepperoni pizza you can ever have. Full bar, great beer selection, great outdoor seating, what else can you ask for?“

“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“I always love a stay at the Ojai Valley Inn!! I usually come with my husband and kids. When we visit we love the kids pool, kids club, tennis courts, bike rental and driving range. Along with the fabulous restaurants where we can see them running around while we eat. All the rooms we’ve stayed in have always been large and amazing. This trip I brought my mom and sister for their birthdays. I booked it through American Express Fine Hotels. This gave us $70 towards breakfast everyday, $100 hotel credit, chocolates in the room, 4PM checkout and a room upgrade if available. When we arrived they said they were fully booked and could not offer a room upgrade. I have always been it great rooms and expected the basic room to be the same. Unfortunately it wasn’t. It was small, had a small balcony with only 2 chairs- there were three of us, and a view of dirt. I’m not one to complain but we were there to celebrate my mom’s and sister’s birthday so I asked if we could be moved to a room that could at least have room for all 3 of us in the balcony. They were able to find a room in Shangrila and it was great. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills and a huge balcony with loungers and a table with 4 chairs. Thank you to the manager that switched our room!!! We enjoyed all the amenities at the Inn. Delicious food at the Oak and great with gluten allergy. - the night hostess and front manager were rude but everything else wonderful. We used the fitness area and attended yoga and water Pilates which we loved. We went to the artist cottage and made succulents. Really enjoyed the artist cottage happy hour with a glass of wine and potpourri. Adult pool was super relaxing and service there was excellent. As with every time I leave there I can’t wait to go back. It is an amazing resort with excellent service.“

“The coffee is so good in Ojai! I loved my caramel latte and my wife got a vanilla latte — both with oat milk. Service was sharp and friendly with plenty of gratitude for our patronage. We also tried their vanilla blueberry gluten-free scone and pumpkin loaf. They were both delicious! We sat outdoor at the tile-lined tables with iron wrought chairs and parasols—perfect for children and dogs. Inside they also operated as a bookstore and you ordered at a counter. This place is new to us and we’ll be coming back in the future.“

“Tiny speck of a neighborhood haunt with 4 or 5 tables and a scant 6 stools at a sushi bar. Service is friendly, timely and professional. Fish is as fresh as the Ocean and whatever came into Ventura or Santa Barbara in today's catch. Omakase for $60 pp and an amazing specials board with fresh eel, uni, sea bream, wahoo, scallops, amaebi, blue fin toro, and many others. Sake menu -- and Japanese beers -- complete the traditional experience.“

“Burgers and fries were amazing! Highly recommend.“

“We Recommend Everything!“

“Love the Báhn mi sandwiches here. I always get the grilled tofu and it’s great - generous amount of tofu and delicious fresh bread. Service is excellent, and their new expanded shop is amazing. Lots of tables to eat inside and nice decor. Recommended 👍👍🫶“

“Great food Just a couple suggestions: 1. Offer senior discounts please 2. Lunch specials please🙏🙏“

“I was first introduced to Bright Spark In March at the Ventura Beer Experience. We talked with a lovely couple behind the table and tasted Day Trip, which has become my all-time favorite. We were introduced to a concept called Musical Bingo that day, and I was delighted to make my first visit to the brewery on my 55th birthday in May. Every single one of the employees there was kind, gracious, and warm. The food was absolutely amazing and the Musical Bingo is so much fun! I have since been dragging people left and right there and recommending you guys because of what a great laid back family-friendly atmosphere it is. I will be back again and again and again. and I will bring everyone I can with me! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

“Awesome place. Perfect vibe and food. The quintessential California beach experience. This was our first time and we can’t wait to return!“

“Great food the Bangers and mashers were delicious!!“

“Great option of sitting up on their deck. Double check hours it’s open before you go. W tippers next door you can’t beat the great local vibe to hang out and enjoy the drink and food.“

“Delicious ice creams, lots of flavors, old ice cream shoppe feel.“

“Maggies has been our family go to for mexican food for I dont even know how many years now. Their carne asada, bean rice & cheese burrtitos are favs but corn burritos are too. Its a toss up at times lol so we sometimes get the asada burrito + corn burritos & share.
Hot sauce could make anything taste good haha because its so tasty with just the right amt of heat
Easy location & staff are always so nice. Our family loves their food so much we even used them for catering my sons rehearsal dinner😁“

“Sanders and Sons catered our wedding and they were awesome! Gabriela is very responsive the entire time and helped us coordinate a package that worked for us. We also had fun meeting Sanders in person and tasting the gelato before selecting. Our guests raved about how much they enjoyed the selection of flavors. Highly recommend!“

“Great atmosphere inside and on patio. Excellent food. We had the house salad, two pizzas, and Gelato. All WERE EXCELLENT! Staff was friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend it. Chain pizza restaurants don't compare!“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“😊Great healthy lunches. 😀😀“
