“Great food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

Wonderful food and a fun atmosphere. Were able to seat 10 fairly quickly. We went for breakfast and were really happy with the food. Nice location right downtown.

“Lovely atmosphere, great food.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 14, 2012

This restaurant is usually quiet and has great food. One problem I have found is that they are understaffed so they often don't answer the phone...makes it difficult to make a reservation but, thankfully, we've never had a problem getting a table by just dropping in. One of the owners very often waits tables and she can be a bit testy at times but the rest of the experience makes her attitude doable. Hurry though. They will be closing soon, I think.

“Get Staff Recommendation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 24, 2012

This nondescript place is way understated. This is a place where ordering an ordinary dish/item is leaving the best behind. Ahi tuna salad was excellent. Order something recommended, you won't be disappointed.

“One of the BEST in Ojai!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 20, 2012

We go here quite often and love the food. Pat, the chef, is very creative and makes everything from scratch....including the bread! It is served hot from the oven.

My favorites are the Garlic Prawns w/ a Lemon Caper Sauce and Linguini
and the Sesame Seared Rare Ahi: With Crisp Wonton, Daikon Radish Sprouts, Avocado a Wasabi Aiolo and Pickled Ginger.

She makes the desserts too and they are to die for!!
