"Co-owner Kat Turner — who is also a competitor on Bravo’s current season of Top Chef — opened an Ojai outpost on May 7 after taking over the former coffee shop in late 2024 and converting it into an all-day restaurant. Expect favorites like breakfast sandwiches, chilaquiles, salads, tuna melts, and seasonal soups served from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.; in the evening the space flips into a low-lit dinner-and-cocktail service from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. (closed Tuesdays), with plans to expand to seven days a week. The menu also highlights Midwest comforts from Turner’s childhood, specifically fettuccine Alfredo, fried chicken schnitzel, and steak au poivre, and Turner says the Ojai location will focus on local wines and has added a new pixie tangerine sorbet to the dessert menu." - Mona Holmes
