Inside you'll find a small market with food, drinks and goods for sale. On the day of our visit they had a BBQ truck pop up, but otherwise you can find items like prepackaged sandwiches to enjoy.

A nice location for relax and snack.

They have two great options. They have a four choice wine tasting, which allows you to choose any 4 from the current list of 8. Or, you can indulge in the full monty which is where you get tastings of all wine currently on the menu. They are both very good values when comparing wine tasting rooms. The air conditioning was on, and we were happy. The music, the wine, the vibes and there was a wonderful employee working that day (I'm sorry, it's only been 24 hours and I cannot remember his name) Anyway, the whole experience was great. I would definitely return again.

Great local artwork all around the tasting room and a fun painted upright piano. Our tasting host was very friendly and provided short tid bits of information of each wine. My husband did the $19 four wine pour tasting and I did the $36 Full Monte pouring of their entire eight wine tasting. I enjoyed my first Grüner Veltliner white wine, 2024 Grunay (a hint of sweetness yet still crisp to the tongue and a light body). I also enjoyed their Tempranillo red wine, 2023 Taransay (well balanced medium body, slightly on the drier side but not too much, and had some nice tannins), this is the full glass I ordered after the tasting. I was not a fan of the 2021 Soay (Red Blend of 70% Granache, 15% Petit Verdot and 15% Petit Syrah) - I really wanted to like it as I typically like this blend, however there was a strange aftertaste that reminded me of water that was rinsed in dried rice. From 4PM - 6PM on Saturdays and Sundays, there is a local musician. Today was a singer-songwriter who played both acoustic and electric guitar and was accompanied by a lovely bass guitar player. They performed a few lighter versions of rock music and a handful of originals. Overall, great value and good music.

The Ojai Vineyard tasting room is one of my favorite places to visit in ojai. The atmosphere is…read morerelaxed, welcoming, and perfect for spending an afternoon enjoying great wine. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Their Syrahs are my favorite--they're consistently excellent and the reason I keep coming back. If you're a Syrah fan, I highly recommend giving them a try. Great wine, pleasant atmosphere, and outstanding service.

Rita is so knowledgeable about the tasting notes and origins of all their wines. She always makes us feel at home while we're enjoying glorious wine selections out on the patio. She has a list of tastes and she'll add in a pour or two when she has something special off the list. They offer an accessible wine tasting experience that's enjoyable for both wine enthusiasts and a first time wine tasting encounter. Majestic Oak features Rhône varietals such as Syrah, Grenache and a lesser known Cinsault. We are members of their wine club because of the quality of their wines and the value. The rich reds that we selected were sourced from local Ojai vineyards as well as the best of the Santa Barbara County growing regions. They also offer beautiful white wine varieties that call for a summer picnic or garden party. We loved the Bruce's Rose that celebrates their mascot, Bruce. Highly recommend for the quality of their wines and for the wine tasting experience.

Hands down the absolute best dining experience in Ojai! I kept seeing this place all over TikTok…read morewhile planning our girls' trip, and it somehow managed to completely exceed the massive hype. Since it was my 1st time visiting the area, I took a gamble recommending it to my friends, & everyone is still thanking me for finding this absolute masterpiece of a restaurant. We stopped by for lunch right after a wine tasting just a block away. Even though they don't take lunch reservations and we had a massive group of eight, the staff handled it flawlessly and accommodated us with the most welcoming, high-energy service imaginable. The seamless counter-service model is brilliant--you order, sit back, and enjoy the incredible vibes while they bring perfection right to your table. Every single detail here is curated to perfection. We started with a bottle of rosé, which arrived in a stunningly creative, vintage empty can of peeled tomatoes. It is the ultimate aesthetic touch and a prime example of how thoughtful this place is with their presentation! APPETIZERS: The Casitas Pork Meatballs: An absolute triumph--incredibly flavorful and perfectly tender. The Chicory Caesar: Crisp, beautifully dressed, and a total crowd-pleaser for a big group. PIZZAS: Margheritaville: A classic, flawlessly executed red sauce pie that sets a whole new standard. The Madonna: An absolute genius flavor profile with earthy local mushrooms and a bright lemon finish. Porco Rosso: A total showstopper with bold spicy tomato sauce, confit garlic, and a brilliant, crunchy breadcrumb finish. The Pinyon Pie: Their iconic signature pie! The tangy kefir base with sausage and toasted pine nuts is an absolute, non-negotiable must-order. DESSERTS: The Pistachio Tiramisu: Pure decadence and perfectly balanced. Vanilla Bean Soft Serve: A culinary work of art topped with premium olive oil, sea salt, and cookie crumbs. The ultimate sweet-and-savory masterpiece. World-class food, a flawlessly executed concept, stellar hospitality, and an unmatched atmosphere. This team is firing on all cylinders. If you are anywhere near Ojai, you need to go out of your way to experience this place. Five stars aren't enough!

You walk up…read moreto find a place to sit but once you actually sit down and review the menu, you have to walk up to order it. I don't love that in terms of service, but alas, this is kind of a common restaurant experience in Ojai. We ordered the broccolini, the mushroom pizza and the half chicken and it was all so incredibly flavorful and well prepared! The crispy flavor of the chicken skin was out of this world especially paired with the sweetness from the nectarines. Also, I was completely unprepared for the broccolini to be cut up and served in a circular shape but it's mixed with this really creamy and slightly spicy chili sauce that is so flavorful - and it also has a nice balance of sweetness with the dates. The dough and the flavors of the mushroom pizza were also amazing! I just loved how chewy the dough was. It had fantastic texture and bite/chew to it! All around, I thought that it was the most amazing place I've been for pizza. The only thing I didn't love was that sitting outside meant that once our food arrived, there were a few bees swarming around trying to also eat our food (it was just that good). Otherwise, everything was amazing!

Ojai Rotie slaps. As in this place is so stinking good…read more I've been here twice now and just the flavors they get on the skin of the chicken, or in their side dishes is insane. I especially loved their manoushe (pita-like bread) which was so tasty. The chicken is moist and flavorful (even the breast!) and I probably didn't need to get the 3 dips to share with my husband, but every single one was great. My favorite was the eggplant dip - that one I was eating by itself it was so chunky and delicious. My only gripe is that you have to be seated and then you leave to go order - I'm always worried that they're not going to remember that I'm sitting there and give my spot to someone else lol. And sometimes you have to wait to get in and be seated, and then you have to go stand in line to wait again to order. When it's not super busy, it's a dream spot to eat, but when it's busy, it can be a little bit of a pain. Still worth it in my opinion, though!

If you reopen at 4:30 for dinner and your sign out front advertised sourdough, why do you not have any? Or at least tell us before we get in and all get seated. The chicken wasn't very moist, the carrots are cold and not cooked, the cauliflower was cold and uncooked with just some spices thrown on it. My grandson begged to not go back here again.

But I have to say, as unpopular as this place may be on a weekday, I appreciate that it's still here in Ojai because it adds so much flavor.

The Hub has that old-school, no-frills, local hangout vibe that feels like it's been there through a thousand Ojai sunsets. It's cozy, unpretentious, and genuinely fun. The drinks were solid, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt like one of those places where you can actually exhale and just be. The service was perfect! Rob was the absolute best! If you're expecting craft cocktail theatrics and curated Instagram lighting, this isn't your spot. If you want a cute, classic dive with personality and good energy, it absolutely is. Support local. Bring cash. Enjoy the vibe.
