While visiting family in Ojai, strolling down main street the wife and i stopped in to Little Gem for lunch.
Started off with cavatappi and cheese, and a east and emerald cocktail.. mouth watering!
The menu has a lot to choose from we decided on the little gem burger and garlic shrimp. Delicious!! Our server Dominique was very friendly and attentive. I would like to try other dishes our next time in ojai

Charming spot for coastal vibes and bites. They have small games that you can pick up to play at the tables. The breakfast sandwich was delicious- unique in its pita pocket form. The shoe string fries were great and paired well with the spicy ketchup. Bonus points for nut free restaurant, especially after striking out at two restaurants across the street with no nut-free safe options.
Great food, awesome drinks, spectacular service!

Little Gem is a cozy restaurant with a friendly atmosphere, outdoor patio seating, and a fire pit under a trellis of plants and string lights. The menu offers a variety of tasty options, including fries, wings, shrimp, bread pudding, and burgers. The fries are hot, salty, crispy, and herby with rosemary, served with aioli, and the burger is highly recommended, especially when ordered rare. The bread pudding, made with pretzel buns soaked in condensed milk, is enjoyed by many, and the Dirty Shirley drink has an interesting negroni-like taste. Guests appreciate the beautifully presented and delicious food, such as the salmon, patatas bravas, gnocchi, and a variation of Caesar salad called market salad. The service is friendly and attentive, contributing to a good vibe with good tunes. While most reviews are positive, some mention that the wings could be seasoned more, the shrimp were mushy, and a few dishes like the vegan marry me chickpeas were disappointing. Overall, Little Gem is a popular spot for a relaxing lunch with good food and outdoor ambiance.
