The Oak - OJAI

We dined on world-class food and overlooking the golf course.

We had a celebratory dinner here. The order dining was really nice, especially at sunset. All items we ordered were delightful. The filet mignon was just the right temperature. It came with garlic mashed potatoes, though I had some of the buttermilk mashed potatoes that someone else ordered as a side. They were way better. At the beginning of the meal, the service was a little lacking. It took awhile to place our order. With such beautiful scenery though, it didn't matter much. Overall, our evening was special.

Breathtaking outdoor seating views seated facing the back 9 of the golf course. Came for lunch and it was very hot. The food was delicious. Only issue I had was that I wished the lunch menu had more choices. I ordered the fish of the day, my wife ordered the Pomodoro pasta and my 3 year old daughter ordered a hotdog and french fries.

Amazing view with great breakfast to match it. The view was so green with so many flowers and the atmosphere was amazing. Not too many people talk about it but, the music choice and volume was really nice for the setting. I had a salmon bagel and it tasted amazing. There was a generous amount of food (especially capers) that were absolutely delicious.

Sat outside on Christmas Day which was totally fine with the heaters and enclosed patio. The strange part was they called earlier in the day to ask if we preferred indoor or out and I said inside. Again outside worked fine just set different expectations from the call. Food was great, service was good although slightly up feeling, a bit overpriced. I appreciate the creative vegetarian menu with cauliflower steak. Beautiful space, a little overpriced IMO but overall nice experience.
