Sisters Rory and Meave McAuliffe run this charming Ojai spot with rustic, feel-good vibes. Wide plank wood floors lend warmth while exposed ducts keep things trendy. There is a little bit of everything here, from a local produce-driven menu and terrific raw bar offerings to a natural wine list and a provisions counter up front. Some dishes seem simple but deliver in spades. A stunning salad of avocado, baby beets and citrus served on a wide, oval plate is a riot of colors. Then, an herb-laced broth bobbing with Aleppo sausage, spring garlic, potatoes and steamed countneck clams offers a refine

Smack in the center of Ojai, The Dutchess reigns from its perch inside a charming 1920s building. It may be the queen of cool, but prim and proper it's not. Instead, this quirky concept features a bakery/cafe by day and a trendy Burmese restaurant by night. Come hungry, as this heartfelt menu is brimming with snacks, salads, curries and large plates designed for sharing. Begin with a tea leaf salad, piled high with slightly bitter tea leaves balanced by napa cabbage and sungold tomatoes with crispy-crunchy peanuts, fried garlic and shallots. Chickpea tofu is perfectly golden-brown and sided by

San Ysidro Ranch is a dreamy setting for this rustic stone "house," punctuated by lush gardens, creekside views, rough-hewn beams and a wood-burning fireplace. In the kitchen, hyper-local regional cooking rules, with many of the herbs, fruits and veggies harvested on the property. Arrive early to walk the grounds before your meal. There is exclusivity in the air, which seems to match the affluent diners and informed servers. Regulars aim for seats on the patio along with simpler bites, like the burger or crab cakes; while others may delve into such finer things as a three-course prix-fixe, sta

Stonehouse餐厅位于蒙特西托，以如植物花园般的 lush 环境和精致氛围著称，拥有玫瑰园、香草园及草坪。多数评论盛赞其卓越的服务、出色的食物质量以及丰富的酒窖，适合家庭庆祝或特殊场合。然而，部分顾客对菜单调整（如移除楔形沙拉）表示不满，并指出用餐节奏有时存在问题。此外，“马车房”区域因座椅不适和缺乏浪漫氛围受到批评，建议优先选择主餐厅区域。尽管有少数关于预订取消和服务态度的负面反馈，整体评分仍高达4.7分，被视为当地优质选择。
适合追求精致环境与服务的高档用餐者，建议避开马车房区域并提前确认菜单偏好。

$$$$Sushi, Japanese
Located at the Rosewood Miramar, AMA Sushi is straight out of Japan. The name is a nod to the famed female divers and the space resembles a typical Japanese house with a moody nautical appeal (think dark wood walls with lantern-like light fixtures and a scalloped sushi bar). Then there is the edomae-style sushi, available à la carte or as an omakase. It's worth going all in on the omakase to sample the chef's artistry, which begins with a trinity of bites from soba noodles and fried eggplant to sesame tofu. A seared scallop with wasabi vinaigrette paves the way for nigiri, with standouts inclu

Chilean-born Chef Diego Moya cut his teeth working in kitchens around the globe before opening Little Mountain in Montecito. The rustic yet elegant dining room draws inspiration from the region's Spanish Colonial history, with tall, white walls, brick floors and wood beams. The intimate ambience makes it a natural fit for date night; be sure to make reservations (though the bar accepts walk-ins). Meanwhile, the menu uses local ingredients to tell a globally inspired story. To begin, a tile fish ceviche with yuzu kosho and sweet peppers is a perfect choice. It's hard to go wrong with any of the

In sun-kissed Santa Barbara right by the tony Montecito Inn, this convivial counter is out to make sushi on its own terms. Though the group counts at least six other locations in the US and Canada, the setup is largely the same: Guests start with a cocktail in the lobby before finding their names written in chalk at their seats. The chefs, always talkative and ready to have a good time, work in tandem to deliver creative combinations that go beyond the realm of traditional nigiri. The likes of brown sugar, pineapples, chili ponzu, olive oil and fried onions find their way onto frequently blowt
$$$Californian, Korean Contemporary
Chef Daniel Kim, a veteran of fine dining restaurants, now leads this California-minded kitchen that infuses a Korean flair. Monte's embodies the farm-to-table ethos, sourcing the majority of their produce from their own regenerative organic farm and local farmers' markets. This is cooking that's approachable and delicious yet prepared with clear skill. Kick off the meal with locally caught halibut crudo with broccolini or prawn toast with charred lemon aioli and house-made prawn furikake. Perhaps the best example of the Cal-Korean mashup is the bone-in pork chop katsu, breaded with panko and

蒙特餐厅（Monte's）在比拉姆和布兰登设有分店，整体评价为3.8/5。食物质量是主要亮点，牛排、海鲜及创意菜肴备受推崇，但部分顾客反映存在食材新鲜度不足或过度依赖酱汁掩盖口味的问题。服务总体友好高效，但用餐节奏有时不均，个别时段出现服务员匆忙或态度冷淡的情况。环境温馨且维护良好，但空间较小，部分分店存在通风不佳导致的厨房烟雾问题。性价比方面评价两极，有人认为物有所值，也有人觉得分量与价格不符。
适合追求地道美式海鲜与牛排、能包容偶尔服务波动的食客。
