 There is a restaurant called "The Ranch", I believe, in Ojai which is quite
 good.  Mostly outdoor dining in a very nice setting - surrounded and shaded
 by trees, stream flowing through the eating area, etc.

 Very expensive, but good food and terrific setting.

 I highly recommend Downeys for dinner.  In fact, for our anniversary
 this year we drove 100 miles to Santa Barbara just for the pleasure of
 eating there.

 1305 State ST. (between Victoria and Sola Streets)

 You will also need to eat lunch.  Let me recommend La Super-Rica
 Taqueria.  These tacos are a cut above.  My husband and I have been
 known to make the 100 mile drive on a Saturday just for the tacos (as
 if there weren't enough tacos in L.A. but these are really special).  I
 especially recommend the #4.

 622 N. Milpas St.
 Santa Barbara

 Have a good vacation.
