Ojai Restaurants

We had a wonderful birthday lunch at Stonehouse. All the food was delicious and the service wonderful. i had the Branzino and it was perfectly cooked and had a delicious sauce. I loved that it was served with artichoke hearts, a great combination. All the servers were friendly and helpful. The only thing I would change would be the bread, I prefer sourdough and maybe add a caramel dessert. We had the bananas foster, but the bananas did not get cooked enough to bring out the flavor. Overall it was a spectacular afternoon and then we walked the garden and were in heaven. I have never seen it all in bloom and it was spectacular on May 5! The roses were stunning, the lemon arbor loaded with lemons hanging overhead, the herb garden, it was all amazing and delightful. One of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen!

Great experience! Beautiful location and delicious buffet.

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Olivella, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel special—warm, attentive, and perfectly timed in their service. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a romantic evening. Every course was exceptional: the pasta was handmade and perfectly cooked, the wine pairing was spot-on, and the dessert was a beautiful surprise that made my wife smile ear to ear. It felt like the kind of place where every detail is crafted with care. Olivella made a special night feel even more magical—absolutely worth every moment.

Always perfect! Delicious food & drinks, excellent service, perfect beautiful, relaxed vibe.

This is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. Every single thing we ate was amazing. The presentation the taste everything if you’re in Ventura, you must stop and eat here you will not be disappointed.
