wow wow wow. worth finding-turn at the sign for the golf course. we biked from ventura. Zaidee's is up at the Soul Park golf course club house with awesome views, excellent service and fantastic food. Tuesday at 11:35 am so not hard to get a primo seat outside for lunch. Starting to fill up at noon but still plenty of second tier seats. Lots of good beers on tap, freshly made iced tea. Ample, happy, friendly wait staff-empty plates cleared within seconds! We shared the fish tacos and beet salad (now available at lunch-not just dinner as noted by another yelper). The fish tacos (3 good sized) were delicious-with a nice big piece of grilled fish-moist, just the right spice. The beet salad was impressive--someone in the kitchen really takes pride in this dish--lots of beets-2 types, arugula, pistachios and beautiful fresh fruit--I'm generally not a big salad guy but this one could convert me! Prices are very good. We will be back. read more

Came here with a group of 25 after a Porsche club drive, and we tried to be mindful by staggering into three groups about 15 minutes apart so it wouldn't be too overwhelming. Upon arrival, the staff seemed a bit frazzled. The menu changed a few times, which made things a little confusing, but the two women helping us were very kind and did their best, they just didn't seem fully prepared for a group our size. We kept our orders simple, and surprisingly, the food came out extremely fast... before the coffee even arrived. Overall though, the food was good. I had the avocado toast, which was really tasty, and everyone in the group seemed to enjoy what they ordered. The real standout here is the setting, the golf course and surrounding grounds are absolutely beautiful and make for a really nice atmosphere. Overall, a solid spot for smaller groups or a casual outing, but larger parties might be a bit of a challenge for them. read more

Haven't been to a lunch spot in a long time with better views than this. Such a beautiful day to eat here and take in this view. I had the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and buffalo chicken sandwich and it was perfect. Do note that eating outside is very popular so expect a wait. I'm not sure they take reservations, we didn't have any, so took about 45 mins to get a table outside. read more

You don't just arrive at Zaidee's Bar & Grill--you end up there, like everyone in Ojai eventually does. It's a local hangout, the kind of place where regulars know each other by name, newcomers are welcomed without question, and good food and cold drinks seem to pull people in from every direction. The place hums with a kind of joyful chaos: sunlight slanting through the windows, laughter rolling off the bar, and that unmistakable glow of a room where everyone's exactly where they need to be. The beer flows cold and steady, pints sweating on the counter like they've been hauled straight from a mountain stream. The Old Fashioned is a quiet masterpiece--strong, smooth, and dangerously balanced. One sip and you feel the static of the world fade into something manageable. The food walks the fine line between comfort and class--dishes you'd expect to find at an expensive restaurant, but served without a hint of stuffiness or pretense. Every plate feels handcrafted, purposeful, and alive with flavor. The Zaidee burger drips with richness, the fries hit that impossible balance of crisp and tender, and even the salads have that fresh, deliberate touch that tells you someone in the kitchen cares deeply about getting it right. The energy in the room is pure Ojai--laid-back, sunlit, and pleasantly unpredictable. You might stop in for lunch and find yourself still there long after dark, trading stories with strangers who feel like old friends. No pretense, no rush--just good people, good food, and time that seems to stretch in all the right ways. Zaidee's isn't just a restaurant--it's a state of mind. A rare place where the drinks are honest, the food hits the mark, and the world slows down just long enough to remind you what matters. Five stars, without hesitation. read more

My fav place to eat in Ojai ( born & raised in Ojai!) Love seeing all the locals both working there & eating there. I love the grilled cheese & tomatoe soup & the cocktails are on point! The view is worth a million ...ok a billion ... bucks!!!! read more

Good food, loved the smaller menu (you know they specialize their stuff- too much on a menu makes me think their food is kinda all over the place and nothing can get the care it needs), but to be honest the food was nothing special. I dont have any complaints, loved the view and the ambiance with the stone fireplace theyve got. Everything is pretty reasonably portioned. My omelet was great and well made. Pretty place in Ojai, check it out! read more

I've never had any issues eating here. The food is fresh and good. The setting is the golf course which I recommend you sit outside and watch the beauty of Ojai and also maybe watch some golfers finish their round of golf. Service has always been for us great. Overall it's always been a great experience here read more

Nice relaxing spot to eat located in the golf course grounds. Open to the public. Comfortable restrooms and plenty of seating inside and outside with gorgeous views. They have a full bar with delicious drinks and wine. Salads are huge, tacos were good too. We also tried a burger and all the toppings were cery flavorful except for the patty (it needed salt and spices) Overall a pleasant experience. Service is friendly. read more

With all the hot new restaurants piling into town (ahem, Rory's), it'd be easy to discount a more humble establishment like Zaidee's, but I encourage you to run-not-walk there. Regardless of the food, the views of the mountain range overlooking the golf course are objectively stunning. But to make matters better, the food is killer in its own right. Enjoying dinner while gazing at the sunset's shifting shadows is idyllic as it gets. I got the Beet & Arugula Salad; when I order some version of that salad, I know there's a strong likelihood it will be a tired offering of the same old ingredients. To my delight, this rendition was primo. The beets, oranges, pistachios and goat cheese were individually well-prepared and collectively inspired. The ratios were on point, never making me wish I'd left more beets or goat cheese for my final bites. Moreover, they let me sub lemon vinaigrette for balsamic vinaigrette. Note: this salad is only available for dinner. Along with the stellar scenery and above average service, Zaidee's deserves to be an Ojai staple. read more

Zaidee's Grill and Bar is the Soule Park Golf Course's clubhouse. Full bar, great menu, friendly staff, and great service. What more can you ask for? How about one of Ojai's best places to have a sunset cocktail? The view of the hills and golfcourse can't be beat from the patio. The light and airy interior tables offer great vista's, as well. read more

What a pleasant sunset dinner! We were in search of a sunset view cocktail, which surprisingly is hard to find in Ventura County, but we drove the 33 and up Camp Comfort's scenic route to avoid afternoon rush hour, and I remembered Yelpers raving about this place. We hit it perfectly, with time to order a Cape Cod and an Old Fashioned from their full bar, enjoy a warm evening on the patio overlooking the wooded golf course, and watch the sun set. My husband and I shared the large serving of tasty rockfish baja tacos and a delicious berry cobbler loaded with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Our server was friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful, which made the beautiful idyllic setting even more memorable. We will definitely be back. read more

Zaidee’s - The view was nice - Pubs Near Me - Ojai, California

Places to eat on the golf course always amazed me. This particular spot aims to please. Met up with a buddy for lunch today, and the food and view are just simply amazing. You get this great view of the surrounding mountains and hills, and fresh air fills the patio. It's great to watch the golfers walk by with their electronic golf carts about 5 or 6 ft in front of them. Amazing technology. The staff is great, the waitresses come by quite often, and check on you. Very helpful, and I would say within a minute or two you can get your request filled for say extra ketchup, or extra dressing for your salad, Etc. The food is great! I had the Hawaiian chicken salad. The chicken breast was tender, and you do get a lot of both the protein and the salad. You can always opt for extra protein if you want. I got my salad dressing on the side, and eventually got an extra side of dressing, so two total was the perfect amount for the huge salad. Parking is free, usually plentiful. You may have to park some distance away if its peak golf time. But no big deal. If you're in need of disability assistance, no problem. There are ramps leading everywhere, to the dining patio, to the bathroom, etcetera. I think this was knocking out two birds with one stone, since you'll probably need a ramp for your golf clubs, and at the same time this place took full advantage of the Disability Act by being able to use the same ramp for a wheelchair or rollator. Win. Win. Anyways, if you're in the area, looking for something different than the Dozen gelato and ice cream places in ojai, give this place a try. Definitely a lot of good selection on the menu. read more

Excellent food! Beautiful surroundings, superb service (Brooke), and yummy dessert. Imagine being on a tranquil golf course with a calming body of water? Very spa-like. Ask for Brooke, she will not steer you wrong! Highly recommend! read more

We went there for the view, and it was beautiful. The food was...pretty terrible. One of us ordered a burger, and the fries were cold. Another one ordered fried chicken, which was deep fried to the point of having blackened batter while her carrots were cold and undercooked. She didn't complain because all she wanted was a chicken breast anyway, so she just peeled back the crust and ate it. I had a salmon salad, which was Ok, and our fourth had the salmon dinner and said it was Ok. We didn't have drinks. Our waitress was overworked and only appeared sporadically. I would suggest having drinks here for the view, but avoid the food. read more

An unexpected gem on the edge of town. Was looking for a place to enjoy an early dinner with our dog, and glad we came across this spot. The menu was your typical golf course bar and grill fare, but the views from the patio were spectacular, and we were able to walk right in / not fight the crowds on the main drag. Great wines by the glass too! read more

Ojai's hidden gem ! Excellent beer food and views on the Souel golf course. My wife and I went there for lunch on Tuesday, she had the loaded nachos which was huge and delicious lots of asada cheese and guacamole, I had the fish (fresh rock cod) tacos there were 3 and were some of the best fish tacos I've had ! The views of the golf course and mountains are fantastic, seating outside on patio as well prices were less than most Ojai eateries, can't wait to go back for dinner Cheers read more

First time we decided to stay to eat after a round of golf. We usually run out to a local spot, such as, Hip Vegan, but we we decided on Zaidee's. On the 9th hole, our group looked at the menu and we thought it had a lot to offer. Small menu, but good variety of options. We ordered the arugula/beet salad, 3 bistro burgers, fries, fried onions, an old fashioned and a jalapeño margarita. All were tasty and good portions. We enjoyed the weather, watching the golfers come up the 9th green and our nice meal. The wait staff were friendly and we never felt rushed. It was a nice time for us and now we know to plan on staying to eat here after our next round. read more

Zaidee's is the local's hangout. Great food. Great service. Great ambience and spectacular view. I love walking over there on the bike path with my dog and grabbing an outdoor table. I ordered poached eggs and sliced tomatoes one morning - it came with sliced tomatoes, avocado and lettuce beautifully arranged on the plate. They went over and above to make an attractive and appetizing plate. They have an amazing smash burger and a bunch of other items that are very reasonably priced. It is never crowded and the clientele is locals. Yes, it's at the public golf course, but it's the go-to restaurant for me. I love sitting outside and enjoying the incredible views of the mountains and the course. I highly recommend Zaidee's if you want a good, solid meal at a good price in a great setting. read more

Great food, great service, and you gotta love the views. One of our favorite places.

What a find! Our great Airbnb hosts suggested this hidden gem and they were right! We walked down to the course and found this beautiful space with great views of the course. It was cold and a bit rainy so I had the grilled cheese with tomato soup and it totally hit the spot! My lovely companion had the caesar and kale salad with chicken and it was very generously sized and fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we looked around at the packed place and a lot of the other dishes seemed really good too. There is a great bar and the vibe is really fun. This is definitely a place to return to and since it's on the outskirts of town, you can get your steps in too! read more

We had a lovely brunch today. There was A bit of a wait for a table on the patio but the hostess was very sweet and came to check on us every few minutes. Also the bar staff was also very attentive while we waited. Beautiful setting and food was great once we had our table. read more

Good food, drinks and atmosphere! Can't go wrong! We really enjoy the view outside and the service was great!

I've only had only good experiences there until yesterday. Yesterday I ordered a burger, but only had a couple of bites because it smelled and tasted funny. When the waitress asked how the food was, I made it clear I disliked the burger, but the rest of the food was good. I was billed for the burger, and the manager never even came out to find out what had happened. I don't plan to ever return here other than to enjoy the views unless I'm reimbursed. read more

This review is for Zaidee's Restaurant- located at the golf course I LOVE the newly remodeled and re-branded restaurant at Soule Park Golf Course! The space was previously known as Soule Park Bar and Grill and open a couple months ago as Zaidee's The decor is classy and fresh. The staff is friendly as ever energize and provide excellent service! I had lunch there yesterday and truly enjoyed my kale and Romaine Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Today I had the Mexican scramble for breakfast - it was fantastic!! The menu is not huge. It is perfectly manageable and it certainly provides a little of something for everyone. I am looking forward to returning and having dinner there soon. This place has come a lonnnnnng way since I worked here in the 80's!! read more

Some many positive things at this place. The service ? EXCELLENT! The food ? EXCELLENT! And the view? EXCELLENT!

Danielle was very attentive very friendly and on top of her game we will definitely come back next time. We are in the area read more

Took the opportunity to escape for lunch. Nice location, good food options great ambiance!

The food and views are really amazing unfortunately I have to say the bartender that served us drinks while we were waiting for our table was extremely rude and condescending sadly as nice as this place is due to the horrible attitude I received from the bartender we will not be back and I will share this with our family member who brought us here before I never leave bad reviews but felt compelled too after this experience actually in all my yelp dining this is my second negative review read more
