   It is pricey, but it was by far the best brunch buffet menu we’ve ever enjoyed. Farm to table quality in tasty salads and roast vegetables. Nice charcuterie and cheese selection. Fresh baked breads and wonderful pastries. Not to mention the fresh seafood, and lamb or trip tip roasts for those who enjoy a heavier meal. Or if you like a more traditional breakfast, there is an omelette station and eggs benedict as well. Something to please everyone, and all of it delicious, served on a lovely patio with live music playing under the gorgeous oak tree below. A delightful brunch!

   Phenomenal 5 star experience. Food, service, drinks, atmosphere, all 10+. Baked Brie, wedge, NY strip, brussel sprouts, and roasted carrots are excellent. A must try for dinner.

   We sat out on the patio (in early February) and they had plenty of space heaters to keep everyone warm. The Ojai Valley Inn is an upscale resort, so there were guests staying at the Inn as well as guests who were just there for dinner. We had a lovely view of 'The Oak', a large oak tree with hanging lanterns after which the restaurant is named. Service was attentive without being disruptive. Overall a very pleasant experience.

    Great service, food and ambience. We sat on the patio for lunch and enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich. It was a beautiful day to compliment our meal.
