    The bar

    What a phenomenal dining experience at this gem of a restaurant located at the Hotel El Roblar. We're staying at The Ojai Valley Inn for our annual getaway and honestly this was a standout dining experience. We're pretty discerning when it comes to all the elements of a great dining experience and this place really delivered. Ambiance, food and service were all stellar. Our server Emma was a total rockstar who took such great care of us. The homemade sourdough bread was to die for! We sat on the sweet patio near the fireplace and it was such a pleasant vibe. I just can't emphasize enough how impressed we were with everything. This will definitely be a regular spot for us on future trips to Ojai!

    New favorite place! I'm a huge fan of Little Doms in Carpinteria, so I was excited to hear that the chef was involved here. First of all, this hotel restoration back to its original glory is perfection!! I can't say enough. It gave me Mary Jane Colter vibes, or New Cuyama Buckhorn vibes. I love the updated Americana. As for the food, we started with shrimp cocktail that was an elevated version of what you get at the border crossing. The veggies were fresh, the sauce pungent, and the shrimp succulent. Secondly, we had the melon and tomato salad with chicatana ants. I was bummed that the ants didn't impart any lemon flavor like the culinary ants I've cooked with in the past. You can leave them off if you're not into bugs, and you wouldn't notice the difference. The delicious melon and the farm-fresh tomatoes are the stars here. Lastly, we had crispy sea bass with esquites, and OMG! The sweet corn was so sweet. Everything was cooked to perfection. Creamy, delicious with a hint of crab. I can't wait to come back and try more. The margarita is solid, and we finished the night with an old fashioned in the lobby bar. That's a must-visit as well. 10 out of 10 we'll be back.

    Fish taco. I put the fork next to it so you can see how small it is.

    Typical hotel restaurant with inflated prices for mediocre food. The guac was fine nothing special. I got the fish taco for $13 (only one taco and doesn't come with any sides) and was super disappointed. The fish was so small and crunchy...not the word to describe a fish taco. Also tasted fishy and I almost think it gave me food poisoning bc I had the runs all the next morning! My friend got the sweet potato taco and said it was their attempt to put something vegan on the menu but wasn't very good. She did say the beef cheeks were good. You can come for the ambiance and drinks but don't really recommend the food.

    Guacamole and tostadas

    This was our first visit to the Condor Bar restaurant. (We made our reservation on Resy.). The dining room and bar decor and ambience are great; lots of interesting details. The service is excellent as well. The hostess made us feel quite welcome and was able to seat us at a booth by the bar (we simply prefer a booth). Now on to the food and drinks, the house margarita was very good; made with fruit juices not a sour mix. The house made guacamole was delicious! It came with 3 tostadas, but when our server saw that we had finished those and still had some guacamole left, he brought us 2 more (that was really nice). I really like duck so I could not resist ordering the duck legs confit carnitas. They were cooked to perfection and served with some warm corn tortillas; delicious! Although it would have been nice if they were served with a side of black beans. My wife ordered the oyster mushrooms with the mole verde sauce. The oyster mushrooms were good, but the green sauce was not what either of us expected; not really a flavor profile that we enjoyed (live and learn). It would be great if they offered a few more house craft cocktails and a few more entrees such as upscale tacos and enchiladas made with lobster, shrimp, king crab, wild salmon, swordfish, etc. So, as Ojai locals, we will definitely be back! If the menu is the same, we will order the guacamole (and ask for 4 tostadas) and the tempura fried fish tacos. FYI, the duck legs confit meat would make great tacos! I commend the owners to bringing a new dining experience to Ojai!

    So, felt like a short drive. My posse (most of them today, some were MIA)...drove up to Ojai and…read morewhoa!-Music Festival and Pottery Festival going on. Traffic all around but we did get out and walk around. Someone said, "I'm hungry, anyone else?"...Of course they were obliged by ALLLL of us! We decided to walk a few blocks from the crowds, came upon Jim & Rob's Fresh Grill + the cantina. We went in and ordered. The service was very good and a few of us saved a large booth as the others went next door to the cantina...there was a good number of folks in there already eating...some locals, you can just tell-made me feel better. Our food arrived: Smash burger I had ordered was great. The pickles as someone else mentioned were a very tasty yet the meat flavor was still there. A chicken burger, some tacos, and some buffalo wings, fries..Cold beer(it was a warm afternoon)-rounded off the 'posse' order. Everything was very good. Jim & Rob's serves some very tasty food. Nothing pretentious, just down right good food. I will stop back in next time I am in Ojai-good food.

    My review is strictly for the bar area and cocktails but wow! What a fun and cute restaurant and…read morebar in downtown Ojai. I am definitely surprised by the lower reviews as our experience on a Sunday evening was pretty stellar and hopefully the reviews continue to be more positive if the restaurant and staff are making adjustments to the feedback. We stumbled in on a Sunday evening after wine tasting. We truthfully wanted round two of drinks and a clean bathroom lol. I had heard about this spot in the past and their curb appeal drew us in. Love their signage, the name/logo on the front wall, and once we walked in the bar seemed very cute and inviting. Probably what would have been an initial red flag was that it was dead inside but we just wanted to sit and enjoy a cocktail. The outdoor patio seemed cute and did have like three tables full. We looked over the menu and were actually very impressed. They have an extensive cocktail menu with fun looking drinks and ingredients. The food menu looked pretty appetizing to me if I'm being honest. Based off of the menu alone I'd come back. Happy hour during her weekdays seems legit too. My group only ordered cocktails but the drinks were pretty and a generous pour! Three of us ordered the prickly pear margaritas and we loved the tall glass they came in. We really loved how the female bartender whipped our drinks up super quickly. My other friend got a Smokey cocktail and we all agreed we really liked our drinks. Had we not already been drinking all afternoon I would have definitely ordered another cocktail. The staff were actually very nice and sweet (going against other reviews). The bartender again was really quick with the drinks and made them very tasty. The waitress who checked up on us was darling. Me and my girlfriends were deep in conversation and I appreciated how she would check in on us but also was mindful to not seem interruptive. She also gave us recommendations on what food is popular and to order next time. While I only experienced the bar area I was very pleased with our visit. Drinks were good, the decor cute, and nice staff. Hoping more people will give them a try as we really liked this spot. Clean single bathroom too in the back which was helpful as we all needed a pit stop and refresh. Definitely keeping this spot in mind next time I'm in Ojai and needing a margarita.

    Over 3.5 but rounded up. Review only based on service and drink . No food was ordered …read more I got a prickly pear marg and it was amazing . Service was ok . I'd say, staff is not super friendly or excited to see you. As a foodie, I always super excited to try a new place and tend to be chatty. I felt our server did not really care to interact . Not busy at all. Place is gorgeous and clean. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I would probably come back but lot my first choice. What makes me want to come back is feeling super welcomed and the feeling that the spot is as excited to have me as be their customer as I am to be there.

A yummy pizza - I personally would have liked blistered cherry tomatoes in it for a brighter pop of freshness. Quick, easy and delicious.

You pony up to the line, which moves pretty fast. You order your food, which will be brought to your table. All the seats are outside, most under some kind of shade. There is a large keg of water outside, that you can keep refilling your glass from. We were with a party of four; however, the two of us had the Pesto Chicken Pizza, which was yummy; however, quite a bit of the bottom/crust was a bit overly burnt -- otherwise, quite yummy. We also had the Fried Chicken Sammy with a Vegan Cesar salad. The chicken sammy was great with some bacon jam and onion. I was given a salad on the side; however, it was not at all a Cesar salad -- so I'm not sure what it was (I couldn't replicate it on the menu) Overall, a good experience; however, it just seemed that the order may have been rushed a bit creating a few too many mistakes. I would still return though.
