Olivella - OJAI

Olivella is a beautiful extension of the Ojai Valley Inn?s elegance and charm. The rustic mood is right on my avenue loved the decoration and table settings! We came here for my sister's birthday and had such a great experience. My only criticism is that we were encouraged to decide for the 5 course meal, as we said that the portions were very small. They were full portions, and it was so much food, we had to knock out! That said the menu was well balanced for the vegetables and the meat and fish eaters of the group. Remember to bring your appetite and purse because this meal you fill and put back! But in the end, you will feel that your money has been spent well and that your belly is very full.

The ambience and service are 5. The food is very average. Nothing special in my opinion and so on price. Salad was understated and very average. Risotto was good, but not better than any other restaurant I was in. Branzino was a little weird. Taste combinations, I'm just not sure if they worked. Olive oil cake was dry and I just didn't taste the dessert. You pay for the ambience and the service, so if that's okay with you, I'd dinate here. I have many meals that were much better. I honestly think that Wrt reviews for restaurants in general many people have high expectations in and then drink before their meals, get slightly buzzed and think the food is fabulous. And then write a review. Maybe I'm too picky. But I really didn't think the food was very good. It's okay. There were some things we enjoy, so I'll say it was a hit and misexperience would eat. At the price point, the entire meal should be impeccable. That's my expectation.

That was the ultimate dinner for our anniversary and every penny worth it! The staff treated us as if we were the honored guests and they all treat them in this way. The attention to detail carried by the expertly prepared and fabulous cuisine to the best wine pairings for each course with perfectly executed timing. Go on and treat yourself-you earn an evening in this place.

Best restaurant in town. Had the 5 course menu. Food was amazing. I'm nitpicky and I could find mistakes with something. If you appreciate amazing food and service, this is the place for you. Our server Dakota was phenomenal and had a great knowledge of each wine pairing. I'd come back in a heartbeat! Very recommended. I also love this restaurant not allowed young children. We had a table in the quieter back room with mountain views?s. Everything was perfect.

Did not eat at olivella had a couple of old fashions and I must say they were fantastic Wallace Neff bar is spot on. You want something crated with flavor this is the joint
