The menu is exquisite, great influence of asian cuisine. Great selection of specials also. Third time being here, and definitely not the last.

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!

We shared a caesar salad and requested a few anchovies as the dressing doesn't have anchovies in it. They served several white anchovies which I hadn't tasted before. The salad is a terrific choice and the white anchovies are very mild and not as salty as the usual anchovies I've had. We shared the flatbread which is the best I've ever had. I ordered the chicken cacciatore which we took home as I ate all of the flatbread. My wife had the carnitas tacos which were excellent as well. Not many people have caught on to the dinner offered Wednesday through Friday. It is really wonderful.
