Dishing Ojai: World Flavor Café

by Lisa Snider October 12, 2008

Has anyone tried the new World Flavor Café? I am hearing mixed reviews about the limited menu, prices and service, but there’s more to it. My husband and I tried it and found that while they are a new establishment working out the kinks, the food is absolutely wonderful. Here…

Dishing Ojai: Coffee…and Radio Ojai’s Latest

by Lisa Snider July 13, 2008

I’m not much of a coffee drinker, which absolutely puts me in the minority here in Ojai. Even in the heat of summer, Ojaians love their coffee. Or do they just love the social aspects of coffee; the see-and-be-seen draw of a well-roasted bean? The camaraderie, the chance meetings with…

Dishing Ojai: The Martini Debate

by Lisa Snider April 30, 2008

My “big girl” drink of choice is the Hendrick’s gin martini with two meaty olives. Hendrick’s is heavy on coriander and juniper as is typical of a fine gin, and infusions of cucumber and rose petal give it a unique flavor. I usually have one on a Friday and rarely manage…

Dishing Ojai: Regal’s Wine & Spirits

by Lisa Snider February 20, 2008

regals wine dinner.jpgWith so much talk of enlightenment lately, I thought I would enlighten the good readers of the Ojai Post about Ojai’s best kept secret: Regal’s is now doing wine dinners. I went to the Bell Wine Cellars Dinner last night, and for $50, food and wine enthusiasts were served five courses and…

Dishing Ojai: The Village Jester

by Lisa Snider December 8, 2007

I was practically inconsolable when Joe said he had sold Pangea to become a dental hygienist (I’m not making this up). When The Village Jester opened in its place, I was skeptical. After all, Bill and I were accustomed to quiet Friday nights, nearly having the bar and conversations with…

Dishing Ojai: Farmer and the Cook, Fred Schmitt

by Lisa Snider August 30, 2007

File this one under “food,” or “music,” but the combination is well worth it.
Last week Bill and I were looking to mix-up our Friday date-night routine and ended up at Farmer and the Cook. We heard their pizza was unparalleled and had noticed the new patio was attracting quite a…

Dishing Ojai: Oak Tree Cafe, Theater 150 & Bodies Unbound

by Lisa Snider July 22, 2007

This post is all over the place, but it’s been a typical week in Ojai where I run into all sorts of interesting people and great food. I found the perfect sandwich, enjoyed a great evening of side-splitting laughter and met an inspiring and courageous woman – all right here…

Dishing Ojai: Feast and Champagne

by Lisa Snider July 1, 2007

Feast Bistro’s new summer menu is out and it is tasty. We tried the Asian Appetizer with summer rolls, spicy sesame noodles and grilled shrimp – really fresh and flavorful. Chef Susan also created a cioppino, but with an Ojai twist; the orange-saffron broth turns this traditional seafood stew into a…

Dishing Ojai: Progressive Dining

by Lisa Snider April 20, 2007

Have you ever gone on a progressive dining adventure? The VC Reporter’s 2007 Dining Guide is now on newsstands, and on page 18, you can read about the course-by-course progressive dine around Bill and I went on recently in downtown Ventura. I was thinking it would be fun to come…

Dishing Ojai: Sunset Mag Dishes Ojai!

by Lisa Snider April 10, 2007

Did you see this month’s issue of Sunset magazine? There is a lengthy article about Ojai’s locally grown food (interesting given Subway-gate), celebrating local growers, chefs and restaurants. One of my favorite spots, Feast Bistro, gets a mention, along with Boccali’s, Auberge, Suzanne’s, Bodee’s (who gets dinged for slow service, which…
