The Ojai Post (February 2008)

Marvelous Maravilla at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa

Although we have some very fine restaurants in Ojai, none match the exquisite dinning experience of Maravilla

Throughout the meal, we were surprised with small individual plates from the kitchen, little extras tastes like gnocchi and later, a strawberry macaroon.

Other highlights included a lobster bisque with a truffle grilled cheese sandwich and three stellar desserts.

After our meal, Executive Chef Peter Edwards gave us a tour of the kitchen, which serves a number of restaurants and room service at the Inn.

I was quite impressed by the kitchen, which was immaculately clean, quite, roomy and efficient.

Highly recommended for a special occasion or when a well-heeled friend on an expense account wants to take you out for dinner.
