The Oak

This place was amazing! The ambiance was so great and the grounds were perfectly landscaped and so beautiful! My husband and I came here for a drink during the famous “pink moment. We sat by the fire pits, and it was very relaxing. Honestly, how we just walked down the path a little bit further we would’ve gotten a better view of the mountains and the notorious pink moment than sitting at the fire pits. My husband got an old old-fashioned and it was actually so delicious. I had a glass of wine and it was very good. There are four pools at the resort and they are all absolutely stunning! We didn’t eat any food here, so I cannot speak to the quality of that. Overall, I highly, highly recommend this resort! ❤️

Wonderful experience we had here. The resort was beautiful. I would say come before your reservation to just enjoy and view the property. All of our food was very good. The hummus is a must. We enjoyed our meals and would return. It’s a very nice city to enjoy when trying to escape the busy city. We will plan residing at the resort next time. Valet complimentary when arriving to restaurant, may also self park

We went to dinner at The Oak at the Ojai Valley Inn. The grounds are gorgeous and we got to see the sunset and the “pink mountains”. The Oak’s ambiance was wonderful as was our server, Paul. I loved sitting outside under the cozy heat lamp. We shared a wedge salad which was delish, but the roasted chicken was super salty and I wasn’t a fan of the fried chicken bites appetizer. Didn’t love the food, but it’s truly beautiful. Pics of our view of the trees lit up over the golf course.

After spending the entire day at the spa, we were looking forward to a relaxing, high-quality birthday dinner at The Oak. Instead, the experience was unacceptable, unsafe, and deeply disappointing. The service was inattentive from the start as our server barely acknowledged our table. The sea bass was first brought out completely overcooked and chewy. When we asked for it to be redone, the second plate came out raw in the middle, a serious health hazard if consumed. My husband’s pork chop was also dry and overcooked, showing zero consistency in the kitchen. It even felt retaliatory after we pointed out the first dish was poorly prepared. When we raised these concerns, the manager apologized but made no real effort to salvage what was supposed to be a special birthday dinner. For a restaurant tied to such a high-end spa resort, this level of carelessness and disregard for guests is appalling. The attached photo speaks volumes about the mishandling in their kitchen. Serving raw fish is not just poor execution, it is dangerous.What should have been a memorable final evening in Ojai turned into one of the most frustrating dining experiences we have ever had. Strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you value your health, your money, and your time.

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!

We went on a company team building event with MediZoom Medical Transportation to Ojai and had opportunity to visit The Oak at Ojai Valley Inn. Had an amazing time. People like Jeffery and Richard from the Oak Restaurant made a lasting memorable impression and our service with Jenna at the Wallace Neff Heritage Bar was amazing! We will definitely be back again next year for the same retreat and again for a personal visit! Thanks for the great service and a place to remember experience!

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at The Oak at Ojai Valley Inn many times, and it never disappoints 😋. The food is always incredibly fresh 🌿, and the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking, with relaxing views of the mountains and the golf course ⛰️⛳. The service is always superb, making each visit a delight 💯. I usually go for the yogurt parfait, which is consistently delicious 🍓, but today I decided to try the breakfast burrito, and it was very good 🌯. If you’re there on a Sunday, don’t miss the special breakfast buffet—it’s truly impressive 🥞🍳.

Brunch at The Oak is nothing short of exceptional. The service is seamless, from the attentive servers to the courteous valet and shuttle staff. Guests are welcomed into a pristine, elegantly designed dining area with sweeping views of the golf course, creating a refined yet inviting atmosphere. The culinary offerings are equally impressive, featuring an extensive selection that includes made-to-order omelets, crab legs, oysters on the half shell, tiger prawns, eggs Benedict, and classic breakfast favorites such as bacon and sausage. Each dish is prepared with care, delivering flavors that are both fresh and memorable. Every detail—from the ambiance to the cuisine—reflects a commitment to excellence. Brunch at The Oak is a truly indulgent experience and well worth a return.

5 stars for the lovely golf course view and al fresco dining on a warm spring day in April (the 'Ojai Pixie Month'). 4 stars for the food. Excellent salad and Jimmy's smash burger, both large shareable portions. Steller service as befitting a fine dining establishment. Only wishing the menu had more seafood selections. Will have to come back for weekend buffet brunch! Sure it's expensive but you are paying for some of the best views in Ojai. Parking - self parking or valet, (slow) EV charging for valet only.

I suppose there's a certain premium you pay for the view, but even accounting for that, the food is overwhelmingly underwhelming. We split a BLT, of which the 'B' might as well have stood for 'Boring,' 'Basic,' or 'Bet you were expecting a better sandwich for twenty-five American dollars.' I sure was. We also split the steak frites, which arrived unseasoned, poorly seared, and served at a balmy room temp--for forty-four bucks. With all the dining options in Ojai, I'd consider making lunch reservations just so you can pop onto the resort grounds to enjoy the view, and gawk at the wealthy in their natural habitat, before cancelling said reservations and saying Oh-bai to this overpriced theme park for golfers.

Food and service was exceptional! Their brunch was probably one of the best; perhaps the best! The quality and flavor of ingredients were outstanding! The service was excellent. Kate made us feel welcome and we appreciated her. To compare - way better than Terranea Resort and Pelican Hill. Reasonably priced - you get your money's worth. Place was beautiful and the best thing was it's pet friendly. We'll definitely taking our dog next time. Cozy and friendly environment. It's like Pebble Beach but you don't need to drive far to get the wholesome experience. Pretty awesome

Inside the Ojai Valley Inn, it's quite fun to walk around the property and look at the cockatiels right outside the restaurant. Food is delicious, I usually don't like kale but the freshness in the apple and kale salad was amazing! The view of the golf course is gorgeous but they do have heaters outside if you're worried about the weather. Overall, the quality of the ingredients are at such a high level if you aren't used to Ojai freshness. A great place for a lazy brunch!

There's a reason the oak is located within the iconic Ojai Valley Inn. They have an excellent selection of breakfast, dinner and drinks menu items. During our stay at the inn, we exclusively visited the oak for breakfast, it was so good! The service is just impeccable - Michelin level tbh! Please try their avacado toast! Our last night we tried dinner at the oak. We were pretty full from a day of snacks all around Ojai. We shared many menu items including a filet mignon and Brussels sprouts which are our fav. The filet mignon sauce threw us off. It was giving A1 sauce. However, the steak was very tasty. The brussel sprouts... let's just say we left the whole plate at the end of our meal. They were so crispy and burnt, they fell apart at the touch. It was odd that it was never cleared from the table. Another thing to keep in mind is the price. Expect to be spending $$$ per person. Overall it's a great experience, the food, the people, and the scenery.

You can't beat the ambiance of this place and the drinks and the wedge salad were very good! Service was spotty at best and the market fish was okay for how much it was. I had asked for the NY Strip Medium Rare and they served it to me at medium. I'll def change it up next time I go

We came here for a post-Christmas dinner. This was supposed to be a fancy and special experience, a treat from my husband, as this was our first time on vacation in Ojai. Our entrees took over an hour to arrive. There were no glorious views because it was night time and dark. Where we were seated, my back was freezing from the cold draft coming from the kitchen side, while my face was cooking hot from the heat lamp above. When the entrees finally arrived an hour later, they were okay. Not great; not worth the high prices. The only praise I have is for our server who offered us free dessert to make up for the lateness. Would not recommend.

I'm going to give The Oak the benefit of the doubt; while my meal was a letdown, my dining partners' non-vegetarian entrees looked excellent so it feels unfair to judge on a salad and a side. Even so, the squash in my salad was significantly undercooked and the overall flavor wasn't very strong or precise, other than the phenomenal sun-dried tomatoes. But my main gripe was that it took over an hour for our food to arrive. Hunger overwhelmed my ability to enjoy the food to the max or to assess it fairly.

Rarely do I ever think I need more Stars than just 5 especially for a Brunch! The Oak in Ojai definitely does deserve more! Sal our server was excellent and kept the endless Mimosas flowing along with the coffee. The menu OMG Jumbo Shrimp oysters 2 different Crab Claws Tri-Tip, Ham & Roast Turkey and assortment of Starches along with Egg Benedict's, Waffles, French Toast & Pancakes Salads of all kinds along with assortments of fruits, danish, pastries and desserts. Dinning on the patio with a terrific view of the golf course and the Ojai Mountains what else could you ask for except they served the best Black Forest Cake ever!

We went on a company team building event with MediZoom Medical Transportation to Ojai and had opportunity to visit The Oak at Ojai Valley Inn & Wallace Neff Heritage Bar & the grounds for our company team building exercises. Had an amazing time. People like Jeffery and Richard from the Oak Restaurant made a lasting memorable impression and our service with Jenna at the Wallace Neff Heritage Bar was amazing! We will definitely be back again next year for the same company retreat and again this year for a personal visit! Thanks for the great service and a place to remember experience, service, food!!

My friend and I stayed at the resort. Waking up in this transquil property, we were looking for a nourshing brunch place just steps from our room. For breakfast we had the two eggs any style and the ojai omelet. For a plate that costs 30 something I was expecting the potatoes to be more than small, dried pieces at the bottom of the tray. The bread was also toasted so much it was slightly burnt. The ojai omelet was decent. The ambiance is really what you're coming for. It is also all organic and local ingredients which is amazing. There are ample heating lamps keeping you warm in chillier mornings and cute, little sparrows flitting in and out. The servers are also calm and professional, befitting the whole experience.

Such a great restaurant! Our service was fantastic; our assistant server Eli was attentive and our main server Rudy was so welcoming and helpful. The heaters made the patio nice and warm. The steak was a standout dish and we had a half bottle of Chablis and some of their delicious signature cocktails.

We came for the Sunday brunch buffet, and it was quite impressive. The view was very pretty. The patio sits among beautiful oak trees on the golf course. They have a Blue Grass band that plays every Sunday, which made it even more relaxing. The buffet offered lots of food options. I was especially impressed with the crab claws and raw oysters. Everything I had tasted great. The service was very quick and all the staff was friendly. It is a little pricey at $75 per person, but there were so many different food items I was able to try. There is also an option to add on unlimited mimosas for an additional $20. It's also nice that they offer free valet parking at the resort. I would say the Sunday brunch is worth trying out.

I'm eating this for Sunday brunch...I've never eaten here for dinner. The brunch is very good well worth the money. My advice is to get in early...maybe 9:30a, because by 10:30 or so, it's a long wait even with reservations. And yes, get a reservation. There is a meat station with lamb, tri tip, turkey breast and ham. It's tender, well cooked and good sized portions. The seafood section has oysters, huge shrimp, and crab claws...all amazing quality. There's tons of options for breakfast as well local garden favorites. If you can, wait for the tables nearest the golf course side because of the views. I'll eat this every time I'm here.

The ambience on a sunny but chilly January day was the main draw. We also enjoyed the fantastic service (thank you Manny) and the tasty food (crispy chicken sandwich and spaghetti pomodoro were delicious). It's not haute cuisine, but it is very pleasant and peaceful setting.

Absolutely recommend going for the breakfast buffet; reasonable price for a great amount of high quality food! For dinner, highly recommended the chicken; honestly, might be the best I've ever had.

Food amazing, service even better than the food, ambience... well... Ojai Valley Inn under the stars and beautiful sparkly oak trees. Perfection.

Date Night!!!!!!! With 6 kids date nights are few and far between during this era of life so for this one we decided to finally get over to the Ojai Valley Inn and have dinner at The Oak. Now this was the first time we had gone down Country Club dr and it was night so it was a bit confusing with the dark roads and no moon light. We finally made it and parked to find a sprawling resort, so much so there are shuttle carts and stops to help deliver you to your desired location. We got to the restaurant and checked in for our reservation. We were promptly seated with a beautiful view of an oak tree light up beautifully with floating lights on the branches. The evening was cool but had tons of heaters to stay warm. The staff was amazing from hostess to bus boy, waitress and servers! It bummed me out to see people talk down to the staff or even worse just ignore their existence so we made sure to give as much praise to these employees as possible. The menu was amazing because everything possible was sourced from local Ojai farms and ranches!! I'll support that all day!! The menu has about 4-5 options for each category which is nice and easier to decide. With the ability to order a little something from all sections and course it out you can get the full experience. With complementary Parker house rolls we decided to get the fried chicken bites, the NY strip, Ribeye, Truffle Fries and Roasted Brussels sprouts. The rolls were warm and fluffy with butter on the side, the chicken bites crispy juicy with an amazing honey sauce on the chicken and slightly spicy citrus dipping sauce. The steaks were cooked perfectly to choice, with the NY Strip served with a peppercorn jus that makes your mouth water and has to be one of the top two steaks I have ever eaten!! The Ribeye with a garlic butter pad to flavor the beefy fatty ribeye! The side dishes are massive each one easily shared by two so mix and match to your desire.

10/10 service, hospitality, and ambiance. Definitely a place for a romantic evening. The food is a completely different story. My boyfriend and I both got the salmon dish for dinner and honestly, what the fuck. Mind you, we each took a gummy vitamin ;) to enhance the culinary experience but it still fell short. For $40 a plate, I could have gone to Trader Joe's instead, buy salmon, and make it better myself for a quarter of the price. The portion was small, and they only gave 4 cauliflower per salmon that tasted bland. We left still feeling hungry. According to the menu, the salmon came with a dill concoction but it was nowhere to be seen or tasted. The bread they offered was really really good. It tasted freshly made with the right amount of butter and salt. It was slightly crunchy on the outside but had a very soft warm inside. Overall, I would come back again for the service and ambiance but I would not get the salmon dish. Maybe there's something better worth trying on the menu but I'm going to have lower expectation to avoid being disappointed.

Not only was the food great, but richard gave top tier service. He had great banter and was super fun. Honestly just a chill guy. sorry for asking if the fish was grass fed

The best Sunday brunch around! We had 3 consecutive meals here during our stay and enjoyed each experience even more. Beautiful views, warm service and delicious fresh food. We shared a filet for dinner and for lunch we had the fried chicken sandwich and salmon bowl. Recommend them all. The Sunday brunch is an incredible value, a great experience with love music and delicious breakfast and lunch options. We most enjoyed the omelette bar, seafood and fresh fruit. I felt lucky to spend my birthday weekend here!

Absolutely fantastic 5+ star experience tonight. Service fantastic, food fantastic, ambiance beyond fantastic. It was raining and being able to sit outdoors, stay dry, have heaters and watch the rain come down through 200 year old oak trees was amazing. Baked Brie appetizer a must have and 10+. Wedge salad really good and the smoked bacon on it was so good. NY steak with peppercorn sauce a 10+. Roasted carrots and Brussel sprouts 10+. Warm rolls and salted butter to start so good. Just wish I remembered the name of our server as she was great and had been there 9 years. Overall a fantastic evening!

Great restaurant on the resort property. Primarily outdoor seating but they have heat lamps for when it's cold. Excellent waiter (Kameron) for dinner service! Overall solid menu with tasty apps, entrees, and dessert options. The mushroom ravioli was amazing, and I highly recommend! Plenty of wine, cocktail, and beer options. Great view of the golf course during the day. Overall I highly recommend if you are staying at the resort. Make reservations on Open Table in advance.

The view and location of the Oak is excellent. I've been there twice in the past six months and found the food to be mediocre both times. Heads-up, last week it took us over an hour to get our food.

The food here is normal and okay, except that the amount was really low. For example, we ordered a PB & J for 11 dollars with only two tiny triangle pieces. Another thing was the time. We waited one and a half hours for our food and that is not a good thing. The service was alright, but this was a very disappointing experience. We watched other people com and leave. When we came, the sun was shining nicely, but when we left, it was already nighttime. Overall, our experience was horrid. The restaurant has many places they need to improve on. The view was nice and all, but other than that, it was bad.

I love the Ojai Valley Inn so when my friend said she was spending the weekend there I decided to meet her for lunch. Alisa and a young gentleman were helping us and service was fantastic. The lavender lemonade was a great start. I ordered the steak salad and my friend had the smash burger. I would order both of these again. My steak came out as a perfect med rare. For desert I had the strawberry shortcake which I give an A+. Then I tried my friends sorbet which was delicious but the raspberry was a little too tart for me. I love the ambiance and the view. Great lunch spot!

Nice ambiance and pretty good service but the food was mostly just alright. It's good for convenience while you're staying at the resort but honestly going into town isnt too far so if I came back, I'd probably just go into town or get a quick pastry at the coffee shop For dinner: - the salsa served with the guacamole was not good, really lacking flavor - the mushrooms served in the middle of the Acorn Squash dish were way too salty. Bummer because the squash itself was quite good - the risotto served with the Scallops dish was undercooked! The rice grains were still kind of hard and my mother couldnt finish eating it - enjoyed the lobster pasta dish For breakfast: - the avocado toast was alright but without any toppings, I can't justify the price - the breakfast potatoes were way too salty - the chai latte was not good. Too sweet and not enough spice / tea flavor - the frittata didnt have much flavor on its own, had to keep adding the salsa - the acai bowl was too sweet after a while because of the toppings, like the sweet granola - the lavender lemonade was unbearably sweet, they put way too much lavender simple syrup in it

Last week, my husband and I spent our honeymoon in Ojai. We made reservations at The Oak for dinner Friday night, with request of indoor seating. We arrived at our reservation on time and the host brought us to a table outside. We notified our waiter we requested indoor seating and he said he would go to see what happened. The host came back to us and approached us with " I was told you would like to sit inside" we answered with "yes, we requested indoor seating when we made the reservation". He said okay I will go look to make sure that's still available. He came back 5 minutes later with " Are you sure you'd like to sit inside, it's LONELY". He proceeded to tell us that there wasn't anyone inside when we clearly saw people inside and there were tables available. We responded with yes, we would like to sit inside, we would rather not be cold. He continued to try to convince us to stay outside to eat two more times. He finally said okay and started to walk us inside. As we were walking past a table he asked " would you like to try this table instead, there are more heaters". Flabergasted and disappointed this horrendous rude service exists at The Ojai Inn.

My ratings for our recent lunch: Roasted Beet Salad - A Pasta Pomodore - F Happens to be my favorite, simple pasta dish, however what I was served had nothing to do with what was described on the menu. Catch of the Day - F Filet of Sole, embarrassing French Fries - A+ Pepper Steak - good, but tiny $44 Cappuccino & Coffee - F (see through) Bread - F awful The portions are overall tiny. If I should return to this beautiful setting, I would order a portion of French Fries and a good glass of wine Overall, very disappointing experience. We spent about $450 for a five persons lunch.

Beautiful outdoor setting overlooking the golf course and oak trees. It was nice to see they had a decent amount of vegan options. The vegan enchiladas at dinner were really flavorful. For breakfast I had the tempeh hash without the eggs and it was so good! I also ordered the vegan banana bread. The hummus was good but the pita bread was extremely salty as was the guacamole.

I went there for my birthday with my kids. It's beautiful at night and comfortable even when it's a bit chilly outside due to their numerous space heaters. The food and service here were the best we've had in 20 years living in Ventura county. Everything was absolutely delicious- the drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It's a must visit.

I like this place. Food and ambiance is excellent. The thorn in my side and reason for knocking off stars is because each time I've gone, it is never busy and yet their hostess seats hotel guests with the better view and puts those who aren't hotel guests in the next row (or above steps-walkway as you come in from top) with obstructions of view. Even when there's ample tables to seat all patrons at the first row. We'd come more often if we got better seating once in a while.

Beautiful venue, facing golf course. We were there for lunch. Dog friendly! The service was really mediocre, forgot to serve my tortilla soup (did make up for it by comping the soup) and forgot our bread basket (which was divine!) Spaghetti was great! My partner's middle eastern rice dish was not flavored and the chicken was soggy(?). Overall experience was average.

The freshest , healthy and tastiest food Highly recommend The service is amazing too Try the yellowtail sashimi

Is it possible to have a 5 Star experience at one restaurant in a resort, and a 2 Star at another one?: Unfortunately, Yes! Its Two Star 2uesday again!!!!' The Oak is the all day restaurant at Ojai Valley Inn. We had breakfast before we played golf and I had the lox & bagel. The dish itself was okay, albeit on the smaller side for the price. However, the reason for the rating is the entire team fail in service. On 5/11 around 9 am I asked four staff members, including the mgr for more hot water for my tea. The answer was always, no problem sir. Apparently it was a problem bc the hot water never came. Secondarily, I asked for a cup of coffee to go. The first time I asked, it never came. I had a ask again. Lastly, the same thing happened when we asked for the check. If you are going to charge resort prices, you better give resort service! The foregoing, coupled with the lack of capacity seating, and tables that were not 6 feet apart, means I will not return when I come to play golf again. I'd rather hit McD's in town before you come to the resort. At least I know I'll get what the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet gets when he goes: A cheap breakfast w/ fast service.

Perfect special event dining in the evening at sunset. Never know you may wander by. Full of stars, but Ojai rules apply, no bugging the celebrities. Great food in this middle cost Resturant on the premises. The staff is well trained and the wine list though limited is alright. The one weak area in all of the Inn's eateries is their wine list. Unmatched view from the terrace.

Went to lunch with friends, service and my cob salad was delicious , husbands burger had an abundance of bacon, he loved it. Will definitely go again for lunch and hoping to visit again for dinner. Lovely outdoor seating with beautiful view of golf course and gigantic oak trees.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Great pasta special, fantastic NY strip, foraged mushrooms and baby carrots were delicious. Tremendous service!Love this place.

The Oak is the main restaurant at Ojai Valley Inn. Outdoor seating, nice view of the golf course and the resort grounds. Started with the pixie margarita - not bad! Blue crab salad - the kitchen split the salad and it was a nice starter. Lobster spaghetti with a spicy arrabiatta sauce - delicious. Sea bass - not that great - the sauce poured on top of the sea bass overpowered the entree, and ruined the entree. Service - 4 stars Food - 3.5 stars Ambiance- 4 stars Prices- 3 stars - Expensive for dinner, 2 cocktails, salad and 2 entrees was $150

10/10: roasted corn soup 4/5: The umami chicken bowl and the smoked salmon flatbread were pretty good too 4/5: French fries came out fresh and crunchy It was a warm day so good for eating outside Nice view of the good course. Food came out quickly. Definitely on the expensive side.

Came here for dinner with a local friend because their patio is dog friendly and they could seat us "later" (than like 6pm. Ojai does not do late dining). Interestingly, they inquired about food allergies when we made our reservation. When we showed up it didn't appear as if a reservation had been necessary at all. They originally sat us in the lower covered area which was lovely. It felt like we were on vacation. They then had to move us to the upper level because they realized we had a dog (odd since we had announced this when we made our reservation, and he was not by any means hidden when we arrived to check in...). This area was much more open to the elements. It was a cold evening, and for some reason we had to ask three times for someone to turn on one of the several heat lamps in our vicinity. They finally did so at the end of our meal. So service was... strange. The food was alright. The vegan enchiladas (sweet potato, corn, black beans, spinach, vegan mole, lime cashew crema) were misleadingly underwhelming for their $28 price tag. The avocado hummus had good texture but lacked flavor. The complementary dinner rolls were outstanding. Others enjoyed their scallops and pork chop. The wine list is extensive, and our waitress helped us select a Pinot Noir to go with our dinner. All in all, our evening was definitely made by the company we brought with us at our own table and was not enhanced by the staff or the location. Ultimately not worth the nearly $100 per person cost to dine here.

This was my first time at the Inn and we had dinner at The Oak. I really liked the atmosphere and the service was very good. I had the Salmon and it was outstanding. My wife got the chicken, which she stated was a little small, but we split the Mac N Cheese and I loved the flavor. It was a great ending to nice day enjoying ourselves at the Ojai Valley Inn.

Great restaurant location at the Ojai valley inn. Mainly an outdoor restaurant with a huge covered patio outdoor heaters and overlooking the beautiful golf course. Stop by for lunch the other day they offered me bread which I gladly accepted. And they brought out these beautiful buttery salt topped Parker House rolls with a creamy butter which were so delicious. Next I went for the crispy chicken sandwich which had a soft bun and coleslaw on it with delicious seasoned french fries. I also ordered a side salad of mixed greens with their blue cheese dressing. The dressing room was a little watery but it was tasty. This is a great choice for a more casual fair when you're at the Ojai valley inn I'll be back.

The Oak is phenomenal! So far, we've eaten here twice--Bluegrass brunch this morning & dinner last night--while staying at the Ojai Valley Inn. Every dish we have tried has been so good!!! I am just going to state this right here: The Bluegrass brunch gives the Four Seasons brunch a run for it's money. The food is outstanding! Whoever designed the menu chose only to offer the best items. There were no "filler" or "fluff" options. Every menu item seemed intentional. And everything we tried was good. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! The portions are the perfect size. Nothing is overwhelming. Come here if you want to enjoy really good food, great live music and terrific service. Next, the dinner. Again, reaaaaally good. Stars of the show: the filet & the sea bass! Do not skip! The Oak is amazing! We will definitely come back every time we visit. You must try!

Best pancakes I've ever had in my life. Have spent weeks trying to recreate them! Need to go back for these

Dined here for the ambience and views during my stay at the Ojai Valley Inn. I got coffee, ordered an Eggs Benedict and my fiancé got the Breakfast Burrito. The Benedict was good but the Hollandaise sauce wasn't particularly amazing - it lacked some flavor - and I thought the ham was also a tad dry. My coffee was surprisingly really good though! I think I had 3 cups because I enjoyed it so much.

Beautiful setting. First time I went here I had the chicken shawarma, which was wonderful. We this weekend, and it was ok. Got the California steak salad, very dry and the medium rare cook was way overcooked. I likely went when the chefs were not there. Seemed like typical cooks were running the kitchen. I am contrasting an amazing first experience. I will go again because it's beautiful and the treatment is first class.

This place was the perfect place for our date night!! Loved the view and atmosphere! The staff is friendly and quick! We got a bottle of their house Pinot noir.... And I had their mango margarita. So good! They started us off with some delicious bread. My husband got the cauliflower soup which he loved! Said there was lots of flavor. He got the pork chop- the flavor in the crust of the pork chop was perfect. Amazing flavor. His cauliflower mashed potato's legit tasted like mac and cheese. It was AMAZING. I had the steak! It was cooked perfectly. I absolutely loved the mash it came with, I can't remember specifically what it was but it was Delicious. The only con is: trying to find it! It's a little confusing but don't give up! It's with the hunt ;) Has vegan options! We can't wait to bring family back! We think it might be our new favorite restaurant.

They were serving buffet when we went. The selections were good and there's a lot to choose from. The seafood were our favorite. The ambiance was also really nice. This is inside a country club! The service is the best! Staff are very attentive. Offering coffee refill and even a to go cup. They take your plates fast enough that they don't pile up on your table. Staff are very courteous and remembers your name.
