"The bigger restaurant next door has an enticing raw bar selection, smartly curated wines, cocktails, and dishes to share like roasted chicken. With a long, buzzing dining room and equally lively back patio, it feels right to end the night here, even if just for a drink and a snack. Make a reservation ahead for the full restaurant experience - it's pretty popular."
"Broiled oysters bring the house down on any table, made even better by fermented chile butter served with it. (If you're having trouble deciding between raw and broiled bivalves, go broiled, trust me.) More formidable dishes like Georgian bean stew (where fermented chile paste also makes an appearance) and wild mushroom polenta feel rustic without trying too hard to be."
Rory's Place and Rory's Other Place anchor a day-to-night dining pattern in Ojai, with Rory's Other Place focusing on espresso, breakfast pastries, burritos, lunch sandwiches like tuna conserva on a slim baguette, and cult-favorite soft serve. The larger Rory's next door offers an enticing raw bar, smartly curated wines, cocktails, and shareable dishes such as roasted chicken, within a long buzzing dining room and lively back patio. Signature plates include passionfruit aguachile with plump shrimp, broiled oysters with fermented chile butter, Georgian bean stew, and wild mushroom polenta. The salt-and-pepper martini uses a salt-water infusion to a Culch vodka and orange wine base. Reservations are recommended for full dinner service; soft serve is available only at Rory's Other Place during daytime hours.
