A Little Upscale Ojai Eateries

Condor Bar at Hotel El Roblar

Upscale Mexican cuisine in small plates. Come for the vibes. There is also a sweet little side bar, “Snug Bar” with the best margarita I have ever had.

Ojai Valley Inn

905 Country Club Road Ojai
We love The Oak for Breakfast or lunch.  It is a go-to for brunch with Mimosas or Lunch with a cold beer. Jimmys Pub is a go-to for an early dinner or appetizer with the family by a fire pit! It is great for a casual early dinner or appetizers. The kids love the menu, have plenty of room to roam, and the views are incredible.

Something in-between Dining in Ojai

Ojai Noodle House

100 E El Roblar Drive, Ojai
Where do I start? A Vietnamese-inspired mix of Pho, Noodle dishes, rice, burgers, and a perfect mix for the whole family. Date night, family dinner, good for it all. Ojai Noodle House, just like any good spot, will have a long wait, so an early dinner is great!
