Since the patio is in the midst of a major shopping plaza, we had walked past it several times during the day and it looked so nice we chose to eat there for dinner and saw that it was highly rated on TA. We were not disappointed. Service, ambiance and the food all made for a lovely end to our... More

I have enjoyed this restaurant all three times I've visited Ojai. Great specials -- interesting game meats offered. Decent wine list -- lots of good local wines. Service is warm and friendly.

My best friend and I love to shop/window shop in Ojai during the week, when it's quiet. Her husband had recommended the Italian restaurant in the Arches (you'll know it when you see it.) Osteria Monte Grappa was nearly empty at 1:30 on a Monday, but the menu looked great, so we went in. We were served promptly by a... More

We ate a late dinner here. The food was really very good. The wines by the glass choices are okay. But its great for the food and the outdoor atmosphere at night is nice. The service was terribly slow but it was a nice dinner, good for the price.

the concierege at Ojai Valley Inn recommended this restaurant for our group of 8 for lunch. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived, usually not a good sign. However, we asked for a table on the patio and when we got the back every table, but ours, was filled. The patio had a very nice atmosphere and our server... More

The atmosphere of this restaurant is quaint so we decided to give it a try. The salads on the menu boast local fresh organic greens. While the avocado on our salad was not completely gone, it was not the fresh vibrant green you'd expect it to be. Don't get me wrong the food did not taste bad, but for the... More

My husband and I were in town to watch our son play tennis in The Ojai a couple weeks ago. We had a break for lunch so we walked a couple blocks from Libbey Park to OMG to eat an Italian meal. Our waiter seated us outside on the patio. The day was lovely and all the trees provided the... More
