36 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ojai

“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❤️“

“Our first time here, this place has been on our list for over a year and the timing finally lined up for us to check it out. The place is quaint and elegant. Our server, Anthony, was very attentive and had a great recommendation for the roasted beet ravioli. We split a salad, a soup and a pasta which they plated separately for us and did not charge us a split plate fee. I was pleased with each dish. They were pretty spaced out and if we hadn’t needed to catch our movie after, we would have felt more relaxed to stay. All in all it was a lovely experience and we will be back to try the spaghetti!“

“best pizza, bagels, and hoagies!“

“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.“

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!“

“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.“

“My husband and I found ourselves wandering into this delightful tasting room, drawn in by the enchanting live music. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Nigel, who truly embodies the spirit of hospitality. We indulged in a tasting flight each, which made the decision of what to fly home with quite challenging, as we found ourselves enjoying every sip. The ambiance of the space is vibrant and uplifting, adorned with an array of captivating artwork. We shall certainly make it a point to revisit this haven when our travels bring us back to the charming town of Ojai.“

“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!“

“great moon watching on the patio. great staff“

“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!“

“cool spot had a mini classic car event nice people offering us free cake from a bday event some harley riders there everyone really nice I didn't try the food but it looked good my only issue was the disgusting porta potty they had in the parking lot, bring your nose plugs and your own hand sanitizer...“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.

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

“We travel for food and Little Sama Ojai is on our list! We have not found another restaurant with a better cauliflower dish (Popcorn Cauliflower) and the fried chicken sandwich is wonderful! Twice we were in Ojai for four days and each time we were at Sama Sama almost every day! Just go! You will not be disappointed! BTW: It is in the same building as a brewery so there are many varieties of beer available, but if you are not a beer fan (like me) they serve wine also.“

“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.“

“Came here for lunch for my mother's birthday in early November and had made a reservation. After being seated it took over ten minutes (I timed it) and asking twice to recieve menus for the two of us. They did however compensate us for the wait with a free appetizer. Aside from the poor attention from the staff on the floor and that being inexcusable since they only had two other tables being waited on.... the food was phenomenal! If you like fine dining incorporated with American cuisine I highly recommend this place to stop at while walking around the resort. It was quite a flavorful experience!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.
