THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS CLOSED Tucked deep inside the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, Maravilla must certainly rank as Ojai’s most elegant dining room. Dark woods and wrought iron lend Spanish overtones to the décor, while the formal service helps create a rich ambience. To be sure, many wealthy folks eat here while visiting their children enrolled in one of the five private boarding schools ensconced in Ojai. But tourists staying in less pricey hotels can come here for the spectacular mountain views and the fine, if somewhat fussy, food. The menu is seasonal but you might find a parsnip and celery root bisque with black truffles and salsify, or Dungeness crab wrapped in a cucumber package and topped with American caviar. Entrées usually feature seafood (maybe lobster three ways, Alaskan sable or scallops), a vegetarian option, and meat (perhaps a pan-roasted beef tenderloin or Niman Ranch lamb loin). The wine list features mostly California wineries.
