   Food and service were very good. Our server had another server, Victor, come over and help us with our wine selection. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

   We had a wonderful experience. Perfect table with a view while listening to sweet music on the lawn under the tree. Delicious brunch. Will keep going back. Beautiful setting and pleasant atmosphere and service.

   It's a short walk from the lobby, but on a cold or rainy day get a ride from a golf cart shuttle. The tortilla soup was excellent, just a bit spicy. The falafel bowl was meh, nothing special. We had to wait quite a while for a server to acknowledge us. Once she arrived she asked if anyone had taken our order, as our menus were still on the table. When we said no one has she asked what can she get for us. Not apologizing for the long wait and inconvenience. For a high-end resort, the server should have been more mindful.

    We came early to experience "the Ojai pink moment" when the mountains turn pink just before the sun sets. It was so beautiful! Along with all those swaying, lighted lanterns in the old oak tree, roaring fires along the slope of the lawn firepits , twinkling lights everywhere & happy crowds... What a wonderful ambiance! We sat by a cozy fireplace indoors first to stay warm & enjoy champagne & nibbles while awaiting our table on The Oak terrace. When seated, we had the perfect view & our meal lived up to the rest of the experience. We shared two entrees that seemed perfect for the cold night. Perfectly braised diver Scallops with puree of Butternut Squash & Pappardelle with Duck & mixed Mushrooms. Our dessert was a lovely not too sweet Panna Cotta embellished with a few perfect berries & coulis. Afterwards, we stopped at a beautiful fireplace set into the walls along out pathway to the car for just a few more moments in order to savor the bright warmth of the fire, the dark skies full of sparkling stars & our great good fortune to be right there at that moment in time. Thank you to Ojai Valley Inn for such a memorable evening!
