I was last at Suzanne's many years ago. The restaurant still is charming, and the patio very pleasant. We were here with a large group and I found the menu to be too large and ambitious. My steak chimichurri, recommended by the server, was only okay. My husband, however, loved the lamb chops, also highly recommended. Overall an enjoyable evening... More

We live close to Ojai and have eaten at most of the restaurants in town. I believe Suzanne's is the best in town. The atmosphere, food and service are all excellent. They do accept reservations and they are highly recommended during busy periods. We've had lunch and diner here numerous times and we were never disappointed. They have a full... More

We went here for lunch on a two day stay in Ojai and it was absolutely wonderful. We got seated out on the back patio where we had a view of the lovely gardens with a water feature. It was really special. The food was very fresh and creative. I had the tuna sandwich and my daughter had soup and... More

Beautiful restaurant. We were seated on patio right by the garden. The bread was delicious. My meal was to die for. Honestly I moaned after each bite. Pork medallions with roasted pears and this cheese that was an amazing flavor combination. One of my favorite meals ever!

We had dinner here in March while on a mini break at the Ojai Valley Inn. It was quite busy but they managed to fit us in at the last minute. Service was fine and staff attentive but I must say that the dishes were just not memorable. My fish was rather bland and the presentation was pedestrian. I realize... More

The food was fresh, tasty and creative; I ordered 3 appetizers. The soup was asparagus and artichoke with no cream, simply puréed and spiced with fresh herbs, a baby spinach salad with all fresh ingredients and some homemade shrimp dim sum. The bill was under $30, I didn't have reservations but was seated at the bar. The owner was not... More

We never fail to eat at Suzanne's, usually twice, during each visit to Ojai. Be sure to reserve in advance, and request a table on the covered patio. Suzanne's offers a variety of choices for every palate, and consistently delicious food prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. The servers know the menu well and are very nice. Don't miss their... More

After traveling back from Santa Barbara and not wanting to head straight back to Ojai Resort, we stumbled across Suzanne's on YELP and didn't think it would be full on a Wednesday night. Good thing we made reservations because it was JAMMED pack. Upon the first course, we realized why the place was full ... the food was delicious and... More

This restaurant is a lovely destination, well worth a drive. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive. The lunch menu is extensive and varied, there are daily specials, and EVERYTHING we have had here was delicious and tasty. It's actually tough to fully explore the extensive menu since one tends to always want to have the dish from the last visit,... More
