MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

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 refined take on stew. Then, a classic Pavlova is topped with a citrus custard and fresh blood and cara cara oranges, grapefruit and kumquat for a bright finish.
