“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❤️“

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!“

“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.“

“best pizza, bagels, and hoagies!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Nocciola! We enjoyed the ambience on the outdoor terrace, the pork chop, bolognese, scallops, salad, and short rib. Excellent service. The wine menu is a bit small and lacking, but the cocktails were very lovely.“

“We came here for dinner last week. Couldn't fault it. Food was fantastic, staff were very friendly and atmosphere was great. We're definitely coming back next time we're in the US 😀Definitely recommend it here.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Loved the staff, they're dog friendly and so nice. The banana shake was out of this world!“

“Burgers and fries were amazing! Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Amazing delicious food and fun environment. Great service, highly recommend!“

“One of the hidden gems of Ojai - maybe some of the best beer in the area, family owned, small biz. Locals haunt.

Great music and nested inside is their sister concept SIDESTREET.
Its a no-brainer. This place is awesome.“

“We have been coming to Exotic Thai for years and the food and service have consistently been excellent! The prices have always been very reasonable as well. If you have a larger appetite, as I do, you will not be disappointed with the portions either.
We highly recommend Exotic Thai.

“I've been here about 10 times now with my wife and kids. Tried several menu items and have always been pleased with quality, quantity and taste.
Family owned and run, the staff is very nice. This will continue to be our go to spot for lunch here in Ojai.
Give it a try, great way to support small local business.

Kid-friendliness: My kids love eating here on the outdoor patio. Tables with umbrellas.“

“It’s the place to go dance to Beau Red & the Tailor Maide! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!“

“Everething menudo and tortas de asada ala diabla the best“

“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!“

“Highly recommend!!!! The food is amazing!!! The calamari with polenta is absolutely to die for!! I had the most amazing fettuccine cognac w/ filet & mushrooms also recommend the tiramisu 5 star!!!!!“

“Absolutely my go-to for a food and a drink in the Arcade downtown section of Ojai. The signature wings are spicy and delicious and, as broke as I am at times, still completely worth $16. For reals. The service here is fabulous, and I love supporting local brews. I'm allergic to beer but still come because they have an incredibly tasty grapefruit seltzer that sits very well with me, unlike a nasty Truly or any other crappy Pepsi/Coke brand seltzer. People at this bar are well behaved and I always feel comfortable bringing my kid here. Trivia night every other Tuesday is super fun. I just love this place.“

“It's very nice and friendly place . I love it“

“Shrimp quesadilla is my favorite try it you won’t be disappointed“

“Enjoyed great wines with fabulous people, on a gloriously sunny day! I really loved their Chardonnay and Syrah.“

“First off, one of the only places in Ojai that had INDOOR seating with AC. Every restaurant we went to all had patio seating. It was 107 degrees. Who on God's green earth wants to melt outdoors while eating!?!?

I ordered 2 tacos plus some sort of open face burrito. The tacos were very good with lots of meat...gear those for sure. The beef and chicken were both tasty. The open faced burrito, I forget the name of the dish. I didn't like it at all.

The decor is pretty awful and dated. Could use an update. Take most of the tchotchkes off the walls, fresh pain on the walls, update the tables and chairs, and this could be a much nicer Mexican restaurant.

You have something most places don't have indoor real estate for people to eat inside to get away from the heat. Also very easy to make a simple Margherita you can offer customers and boost sales.“

“great moon watching on the patio. great staff“

“wines are all good, company great, love the ambiance“

“Sakura has a wide selection of Sushi, Sashimi, Teppanyaki and Korean dishes, all made with exceptional attention to detail and flavor. PLUS the owner is a wonderful human being!“

“Delicious food, friendly staff and affordable prices. 😋“

“I flew in from Boston and my mom is from up the coast in Santa Margarita. This was a perfect start to our Ojai experience. Delicious meal. So many options and we each enjoyed or respective meals: Mango Snapper and Quinoa Greens, and Grilled veggie Quesadilla. Delish! All on the cozy, charming patio strung with festive lights.“

“We Love Seafresh! it's become part of the rhythm of our lives!“

“Busy Sunday, but didn’t have to wait too long. They were out of all sorts of food and beer, this really miffed the young ladies behind the counter who were then charged with telling every customer that. We grabbed the food pretty quick, all three orders were outstanding. The Jalapeño Bacon Smash burger was something I will be back for.

Kid-friendliness: Room for a stroller“

“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.“

“As always, a gorgeous spot for relaxing while sharing a lovely breakfast with friends. The menu offers selections to suit every palette, made with dependably quality ingredients. The recipes may lack pizazz, but the setting more than makes up for it!“
