We loved Ojai ice cream so much we came here 3 nights in a row! I am obsessed with their espresso…read moreoreo ice cream in a cake cone. It was so flavorful and the chunks of oreo were amazing and perfectly sprinkled throughout. I was so surprised to find out that they make nearly every flavor (with the exception of 2-3) in house! All of their citrus ice creams are made with local citrus too! There was a woman there who just had a fantastic energy - she was so friendly, warm and helpful to literally every single person who came in. We love Ojai ice cream and can't wait to come back!

Of course it was lunch time so after walking down Ojai Ave. and grabbing lunch at Ojai Pizza Company (be sure to check out my review), what's the best thing to do after lunch, on a beautiful spring day..... Well, Ice Cream of course!!! You really think my kids are gonna say no to Ice Cream?? Yeah, what kid would. Well after walking in to this quaint little ice cream shop, I immediately realized we weren't the only ones that's got them memo. There were multiple sets of parents alongside their own kids, all standing in line for an ice cold, sweet treat. Of course, like any ice cream shop you might find yourself in, they are going to have the classic, signature flavors that we all know. The Vanilla... The Chocolate... The Strawberry... The Rocky Road... The Cookies & Cream... And of course a Rainbow Sherbet. But when you come to a one-off, we'll call it specialty Ice Cream shop, there is always the hope that you wil come across a fun, new, maybe never thought of or imagined flavor.... Well Ojai Ice Cream.... Congrats, you did it!!! A few of the fun flavors that caught my eye.... Orange Honey Comb Espresso Oreo Rum Raisin Heavenly Honey Crunch Ojai Orange (hence their official orange monster mascot) Just to name a few. For those of you with allergies or dietary restrictions.... Many of the flavors are GF or Vegan and some are even made with Soy. Ojai Ice Cream has been doing their thing since 1979, that's 47 years!! And I know cause I counted on my fingers like a 5 year old...haha, so it's no wonder they have this sweet treat thing down pat. So, the next time you find yourself in the beautiful little town of Ojai..... You know exactly what to do! My only question is: What flavor are you gettin'

Cool winery to check out…read more The staff are older, friendly enough. The red wines are really tasty. I love the private-ish tables. I mean you're close enough to hear your neighbors, but still have a sense of privacy with a nice view of the vineyard. Even though it was hot outside, underneath the canopy it was nice.

We visited Old Creek Winery on a weekend, and overall it was just okay. The vineyard view is…read morebeautiful, but it was very hot and stuffy. I wish they had misters around the seating areas, especially since they already have them near the outdoor bar. The couch cushions also looked like they needed a good cleaning. My boyfriend and I tried the sparkling wine tasting four 1oz samples for a $30. The peach one was my favorite, but $30 for only 4 oz total feels very expensive when a whole bottle is around $35. We ended up getting a bottle and had to ask for an ice bucket because the wine wasn't cold enough. There are also almost no food options besides some overpriced snacks. Many people brought their own food, which I wish I had known before coming. The server seemed tired and didn't explain much about the wines unless we asked questions. Overall, nice views, but for the price and experience I can't give more than 3 stars.

Then a waiter came and asked if we were we ready to order never mentioned the specials or welcomed us at all. Then a second waiter came and mentioned the specials, but we had already ordered by then. No one checked in us until the end of dinner and then we had to ask for the dessert menu from a third different waiter. Then no one came to check on our order for dessert. Decided just to get the bill and go. It was our 18th wedding anniversary and we were very disappointed.

I have to start by saying that having an experience like going to Olivella is not something we do…read morefrequently. For us, this is reserved for birthdays or anniversaries. This visit was actually to celebrate my birthday. We were slightly hesitant because of the set course menu, not knowing if we'd like the offerings and leery of the value. Let me put this to rest right of the bat, it was totally worth it. We left very satisfied with both the offerings and the portion sizes. We were seated promptly and were immediately greeted by Alana who was our server. She was warm and knowledgeable, friendly yet professional, attentive but never intrusive. I had notified the restaurant during the reservation process that I needed to avoid onion and garlic because I get intense reflux. Alana confirmed this before we began discussing the courses. She assured me that she would guide me away from offerings that would upset my system. There are actually 6 courses, not just the 4 on the menu. They bring an amuse-bouche and then bread to start, before the first course. I won't get deeply into our courses because the menu changes daily, but there were a couple of things we were told that are often on the menu that were soooo good. For the pasta course, both the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Bolognese were phenomenal. We both had different fish offerings for our main course which were excellent as well. We were so impressed with Alana that I asked to speak to the manager on our way out to express our gratitude. I feel that so often people only speak to management to complain, so when we receive exceptional service, I feel it's important to express appreciation.

After…read moredriving a few miles outside of the main town, we came across this cute and intimate winery, which, I might add, is family-owned. We had to pick up some wine bottles, so we decided to take in the member perks and enjoy our day listening to live music, drinking some great wine, and dining on a few of the delicious foods they provide. The lady and man at the entrance guided us to our table and immediately started the experience. We got to do a total of six tastings and tried out some charcuterie snacks. A few of my favorite wines were the Sahngri-La, Pink Moment Syrah, and the Zinfandel. I enjoyed the crackers and cheese they gave us to pair with our favorite testers. Throughout the event, they brought out some fruit, more wine, and pizza tasters, which were all delicious. I really enjoyed their pizza, so I definitely want to come back to enjoy the restaurant and drink some more refreshing wines.

So much so, that we signed up for a membership! Pricing is more than reasonable, in my opinion. Especially for natural and organic wine... That is so hard to find here in the states!

Lastly- you're always going to win my heart over when you invite our dogs in!
