It can get pretty busy, but the quality of the food is still there, which says a lot about the place. I love finding restaurants that offer not only good food but also a unique dining experience. The Dutchess is definitely worth visiting if you're in Ojai and looking for a special spot for breakfast or brunch!

tl;dr comfortable ambiance, solid service, and sophisticated Burmese cuisine combine into one of…read moreOjai's best dinner experiences Ojai has developed into a foodie destination, and The Dutchess is one of the driving factors. This cafe is a coffee bar collective by day and Burmese wine bar by night, and it's one of Ojai's two Michelin-recommended restaurants. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that The Dutchess is one of this rustic valley town's most popular restaurants from sun-up to sundown. The journey to the patio is like a play in 4 acts. Enter into the spacious coffee bar up front, wind through the cozy dining room, and pass by the moody back-room bar before finally reaching the market-lit patio. The vast pergola is accented by traditional Burmese parasols. Both heat lamps and fans are available to tackle any weather. Potted plants surround the lacquered-wood table and French bistro wicker chairs. Soft acoustic rock plays at a relatively low volume compared to inside. My fiancee and I reserved our weekend dinner a few weeks in advance, and good thing we did -- the restaurant was booked full. We kicked off our meal with the Naan, a frisbee-sized, buttery pita paired with garlicky butter. Admittedly, it alone was the least exciting dish, but it paired well with other plates. The standout dish was the Crispy Rice Salad. The herb-forward flavor and crispy, crunchy textures combined into a crave-worthy palate-wetter. For our main, we opted for the Biryani. Ojai lamb was tossed with spiced rice and topped with fluffy puff pastry. The warm, evolving flavor was a comfortable embrace for the palate. Lastly, our side of spicy-savory Burmese Chili Paste was extra hot, and we could only handle so much; while fine to try, we didn't find it to be necessary. The service was solid throughout the night, and we were offered complimentary bubbly to celebrate our special occasion, as well as take-away chocolate chip cookies on the house. Our bill totaled a reasonable $100 (after tax and tip). My fiancee and I agreed that The Dutchess delivered a big-city-quality meal for a fraction of the cost, and we would strongly recommend it for an Ojai dinner date.

The pricing is high, something we come to expect since we live in Ojai but I at least anticipated a filling breakfast. My $20 avocado omelet was very small, albeit generous avocado in relationship to the size. There was a smattering of watery refried beans. Literally the thinnest layer possible to fill out the plate. Zero garnish. No salsa. No sour cream. No flavor in the eggs of the omelet. Ironically it came with three tortillas that after the first one there was nothing to put on other two. Save the calories and the money.

Rory's Other Place is the next-door cafe counterpart, offering the standard lineup of coffee, pastries, and brunch plates, as well as sophisticated make-your-own market boards and wines by the glass. And the most popular item? The buffalo milk soft serve affogato. The diminutive stained-glass sign is partially hidden by the royal blue awnings. Inside, natural light floods in through the narrow Victorian breakfast nooks, and a soft serve-shaped lamp hangs from the ceiling above the deftly organized pastry display. To the right is a full-length mirror with the menu scribed in white. Shelves are stocked with premium pantry goods, from imported tinned fish to matcha chocolate. Outside, Rory's Other Place hosts a private, perpetually packed patio. A mix of oldies and acoustic pop covers partially drown out the standard coffeeshop hustle and bustle. Whether for breakfast or lunch, expect the queue to stretch all the way to the bathrooms My fiancee and I visited Ojai for a weekend day trip, excited to try the Affogato. We opted for vanilla-chocolate swirl, drizzled with a half-shot of espresso (another half-shot was served on the side). The tiny portion of soft serve overflowed out of the even tinier aluminum saucer. The end result was akin to extra-strong melted coffee ice cream. We also opted for a few pastries. Of the lot, I preferred the Cheddar Chive Scone. The savory cheese really shone through, and no bite felt dry; that being said, I wish it were warm, and the cheese were gooey. Meanwhile, two-bite thumbprint cookies had a pleasant half-baked texture, but the nutty flavor overwhelmed the dime-sized dot of sauce. Our creamy iced Matcha Latte was on the better end of standard. The service was moderately efficient, and the prices were sky-high; expect $4 for tiny cookies, and over $10 for the affogato. There's no doubt that Rory's Other Place is one of the most popular cafes in town; however, I'm not convinced that it's worth the wait or the price, especially with so many other popping coffee shops within a few blocks.
