New American Restaurants in Ojai, CA

“Usually golf course restaurants aren’t the best quality but alongside the views being spectacular, the food was right on par (no pun intended).

The Baja tacos made with rockfish were sone of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. The fish was perfectly cooked and paired well with the abundant taproots (shredded carrots, radishes), purple cabbage, and pea sprouts. We added buttery avocado which tied the flavors together. However the limes were a bit dry and the salsa could be spicier.

The fries (not pictured) were generous, crunchy, and filled our fries craving.

Service was 5 stars and ambiance was top notch.“

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

“Had a great experience at Little Sama Ojai. The food was fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted high quality and thoughtfully prepared, especially the bowls with the pickled vegetables, tender meat, and perfectly balanced sauces. The tacos were also super unique and full of texture with the fresh slaw and toppings.

The outdoor seating area gives the place a really relaxed Ojai vibe, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy lunch in the sun. You can tell they put a lot of care into both the presentation and flavors of every dish.

If you’re in Ojai and want something different from the usual lunch spots, this place is definitely worth trying. Fresh ingredients, great atmosphere, and some seriously good food.“

“What a wonderful experience! Fantastic massage! I feel like a noodle. Marvelous facial! My skin hasn’t looked this good in decades. The manager is a chemist and so knowledgeable in skincare. She even helped my daughter with her skin care line! Highly recommend this spa.“

“Came here for an early dinner as part of a girls day out last minute. A hidden gem! The food and drinks were great, service was also great, but that might be because we were the only ones in the whole restaurant. I hope they can drum up more business, especially on a Saturday night. The interior ambience and decor needs a refresh and the hostess podium outside needs to be manned. The menu needs an update as well, this place has a lot of potential just needs to be marketed better. We would come again next time we're in town.“
