    From the receptionist to our server, Evan, and food runners, everyone displayed the highest level of hospitality. The venue is one of our favorites in the world, a true gem.

    We had a wonderful evening. The service, food and view were fantastic! We have had many pre-fixed menus and this one is one of the best. They provided a beautiful presentation as well as being very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

    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.

    Sadly this dinner was extremely disappointing. I have stayed at Ojai valley inn several times and have always enjoyed our dinners at the Oaks restaurant. We decided to try Olivella to celebrate my husbands 50th. Birthday. The service was excellent. The food was terrible. Extremely salty, very small portions, flavorless other than the salt. We were shocked at how much we didn’t like it. The price point was high which we expected but the quality was not even close to worth it. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.
