"We just moved to Ojai and asked the neighbors for a dinner recommendation. It ended us at Papa Lennon's and boy were we happy about it! It was a quick 10 minute drive from our new house. The front was super cute and welcoming. There was parking right across the street. We arrived around 5:45 and there were a few open seats on the patio; a moderate hustle and bustle of people enjoying a local favorite spot. There was a small party outdoors at one of the long tables and lots of other friends and families getting together. Every dish that was brought out was beautiful, smelled fantastic and was absolutely fresh looking. I'm sure there is no way to go wrong here since all the ingredients are so fresh and the food is clean. I had the vegetable panini which was bomb. The focaccia bread here is a must. The side salad with honey vinaigrette was a yummy treat as well. My fiancé had the bbq chicken pizza and was astounded by how fresh the ingredients felt and tasted. My father in law had the meatball sub which he said could have had a little more flavor but still delicious. The fries were great. My mother in law had the chicken vegetable soup which came out right away, and all of us were mouth watering over it. It smelled and tasted delicious. That's a must order when I come back next time. We weren't sure how things worked here. So we walked in and quickly gathered it was an order and then sit kind of restaurant. So we went to the vine walled patio (which was super pleasant and warmed with heaters and got a table while one of us ordered at the front. Then our food came out one by one at different times. The vegetable panini took the longest, arriving about 5 minutes after the preceding dish (the meatball sub and bbq pizza . Well worth the wait though. I can't wait to come back here : it's a special spot."

"This review is tough to write because of how conflicted I feel about Hip Vegan. We are up in Ojai for my birthday weekend and decided to try Hip Vegan. We first came in on Friday and had the best experience. Manuel (I believe was his name was so friendly and helpful. He provided menu suggestions, answered all our questions, and made our night. I had their delicious potato tacos special and my husband had a great jackfruit burrito. Today, we had friends joining us in town and since our experience was so positive the day before, we decided to bring them all to Hip Vegan for lunch. They didn’t have the same potato tacos available, so I attempted to ask the server at the counter (female, long dark hair a few clarifying questions as this was only my second time eating there. Right off the bat, I could tell the server was irritated. She was curt, terse, and quite frankly rude. I initially asked if it was possible to turn the jackfruit burrito into a bowl (I can’t eat gluten and my husband raved out it the night before she bluntly said no. I asked for clarification and she bluntly said we don’t do that here. I then inquired about her opinion on one of the specials they had listed (lime in a coconut and she bluntly stared “It’s a salad”. Again, it was already clear this server was in a bad mood but I did need to order so I politely asked that she work with me in order to find something I could eat. She reluctantly confirmed I could add the jackfruit I wanted to a black bean bowl (very similar to if she had just agreed to turn the jackfruit burrito into a bowl… which I ordered, along with the spicy noodles special for my husband and a couple drinks (both from their tap . Our friends ordered after me (two separate orders and told me when we sat down immediately after I left counter the server began badmouthing me to her coworkers (why? . We all sat outside (lovely patio and the same grouchy brunette brought our friends drinks, then food, and avoided eye contact with me the whole time (again, why? . After about 5 minutes following our friends receiving their complete order, our drinks had not even been brought out (again, I ordered before any of my friends The next time the grouchy brunette passed by, I asked for the status of our drinks. She sort of smirked and walked away. It was very odd. At this point my husband was done with her strange rudeness and went inside to talk to another employee about the situation. The other employee apologized and immediately brought out our whole order. The whole experience with this woman tainted what should have been such a great birthday afternoon. I don’t know what this woman’s problem was, but she should not be in a customer facing role. If it weren’t for her, this review would be 5 stars."

"Quick Summary Cool ambiance with the patio seating, especially in the back when you have the backdrop of the Ojai sunset. Food was decent (the highlights were the olive oil and the lamb carpaccio). Plenty of street parking available Food- 4 stars Food was decent but isn't worth going out of your way for Bread with olive oil- the olive oil was very solid and hearty. Really enjoyed it Lamb carpaccio- this was pretty good as well. The only downside is that it wasn't evenly salted (some portions were much more salted than others) Lamb shank- this was good, but the sauce was slightly too sweet. Pork chop- a bit disappointed by the pork chop. Overcooked and way too lean. Not the most enjoyable experience Service- 4 stars Pretty standard, although we did wait a pretty long time between our appetizers and entrees Parking- plenty of street parking Bottom Line Cool ambiance if you're around the Ojai area. Really wished I tried the pasta or ravioli dishes, because was disappointed by the entrees."

"We had a celebratory dinner here. The order dining was really nice, especially at sunset. All items we ordered were delightful. The filet mignon was just the right temperature. It came with garlic mashed potatoes, though I had some of the buttermilk mashed potatoes that someone else ordered as a side. They were way better. At the beginning of the meal, the service was a little lacking. It took awhile to place our order. With such beautiful scenery though, it didn't matter much. Overall, our evening was special."
