Does anyone know of a place like this in Malibu, >Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Ojai, Santa Paula, etc.? In Malibu, we liked Geoffreys of Malibu, on the ocean. Very expensive, but nice typical So. Cal. atmosphere. We also liked Alices, again on the ocean, for lunch more than dinner. In Ojai, a place called The Ranch (I think) - actually outside of Ojai. We're not from LA, so I can't really help with directions. Very expensive, but outdoor dining along wooded streams (maybe man made, I'm not sure).
