Zaidee's Bar and Grill - Ojai, California

We stopped by after a long overnight backpacking trip and the food was exactly what we needed! The place was interesting because we had to drive up this private street into a plaza almost like an estate entrance. We got seated by the fireplace which was super cozy. The food was good but we had to send back the spicy margarita… it was pretty bad. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you’re in Ojai. It’s not in downtown which is a plus but not that far off either. We had the nachos with chicken and the CA burger.

The jalapeño tuna melt sandwich at the Soule Park Golf Course restaurant is a must-try! The sandwich is perfectly toasted, with just the right amount of spicy kick from the jalapeños, and the tuna filling is rich and flavorful. You can choose to pair it with crispy, golden fries or a fresh salad, both of which are excellent options. On top of the delicious food, the restaurant has stunning views of the golf course and surrounding mountains, making it the perfect spot to relax and refuel after a round. Highly recommended!

Food is not the reason why you visit Zaidee's. You visit it because you get to sit on the patio of a beautiful golf course - Soule Park - under brilliant weather and sun, enjoying the crisp breeze. Just sitting at the patio, you feel relaxed and happy.

Zaidee's is a much better-than-expected dining fare considering it is a public golf course. Yes, you can't expect luxury but everything else screams to be hundreds of dollars more around you. The Soule Park course is impeccable. The scenery is priceless. And yes, after a round of golf, nothing can beat a beer and some fries on the patio.

Food is okay. Again, this is not a classical restaurant per se. It serves decent food and drinks. But you do not go here for the food. One exception can be breakfast. No where in downtown Ojai can you get a decent breakfast at 7am but Zaidee's seems to be serving up everything from pancakes to French toast.

Overall experience was fabulous. Took down 1-star because the food can certainly use a bit more upgrade. But keeping the prices low and making the atmosphere accessible to many perhaps is a higher priority.

Will absolutely return whenever in Ojai.

Great hidden gem in Ojai, don't let the terrible parking lot fool you.

The atmosphere is great. The service is also fantastic, but a little slow for my liking. It didn't help that it was a breakfast rush. But I don't believe this is their first breakfast rush. When my food finally arrived, I was astonished and happily surprised when the look of the food, which was amazing, was surpassed by the flavor.

TLDR: The exterior hides a great restaurant where the food is worth the wait.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The views are amazing. Wow. The sunset colors. The grounds. The drinks were great. The food was delicious. The ceviche was a huge hit with our group being ordered three times. The classic burger hit the spot! Great beautiful place to enjoy!

Zaidee’s at soule park is finally open.
The Zaidee’s classic is a 6oz smash burger, with American cheese, crispy onion, tomatoes, pickles, and their “special sauce”. Burger is very juicy and crisp. It’s stacked high but not super filling. I could prolly chow down two of these. For that 6.82 is the rating. A burger should be good and filling, not just pretty. Great place awesome atmosphere.

VERY impressed. I rode to Ojai from Vta and wanted a good new place to try. Good ole Google! This was highest rating w lots of reviews so gave it a try. Beautiful scenery, restaurant in & out. I ate on outdoor bar patio to avoid the crowd & watch my ebike. Had the shrimp taco- Delious!? Will def return!!

It was a cozy restaurant, the food was tasty and had a nice presentation. It has a beautiful view of the golf course outside and a bar if you just want to go for a drink.
