Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Ynez Valley

Everything was delicious at willows. I had the double pork chop, which was big and cooked perfectly. It came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. My wife had a grilled artichoke (best she’s ever had) and crab cakes. Chris was an excellent server.

Tara and Ezelle greeted us and Anthony and Luis gave amazing service as did David the sommelier. Can’t wait to go back.

We came early to experience "the Ojai pink moment" when the mountains turn pink just before the sun sets. It was so beautiful! Along with all those swaying, lighted lanterns in the old oak tree, roaring fires along the slope of the lawn firepits , twinkling lights everywhere & happy crowds... What a wonderful ambiance! We sat by a cozy fireplace indoors first to stay warm & enjoy champagne & nibbles while awaiting our table on The Oak terrace. When seated, we had the perfect view & our meal lived up to the rest of the experience. We shared two entrees that seemed perfect for the cold night. Perfectly braised diver Scallops with puree of Butternut Squash & Pappardelle with Duck & mixed Mushrooms. Our dessert was a lovely not too sweet Panna Cotta embellished with a few perfect berries & coulis. Afterwards, we stopped at a beautiful fireplace set into the walls along out pathway to the car for just a few more moments in order to savor the bright warmth of the fire, the dark skies full of sparkling stars & our great good fortune to be right there at that moment in time. Thank you to Ojai Valley Inn for such a memorable evening!

Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Pizza was great and special seasonal fish entree was shared among three of us. Fish was spectacular. Great wine list too. Service was excellent. Very beautiful restaurant interior and outdoor patio spectacular (we had breakfast on the patio the next morning). Best restaurant breakfast- food was very fresh and well-prepared.

I was extremely impressed they were able to customize my menu to be vegan without sacrificing the flavor. Absolutely incredible experience and will be returning!
