Vegan Mario - Oak View, CA

 

I have been running around crazy with errands with the horses, everyday chores and my own restaurant work. It has been quite warm so my appetite has been not too hearty. I usually get in my speedster and whiz down the hill with a cold drink and not think about sitting down for a big meal.

The temperature almost hit triple digits and I have a picture to prove it! Holy smokes!! I knew I wanted something in my tummy but I couldn't think of anything that paired well with the high temperatures. But, then an idea finally struck! Vegan Mario just opened in Oak View so I decided to give them a go.

Upon walking in the new building I noticed just how clean, cool and maybe a little bare everything was. I know they are a new business so I didn't judge. I saw a refrigerator with Ball jars of a variety of juices and vegan options. I was in the mood for drinking my vitamins so I ordered their Green Juice with kale, cucumbers, celery and apples. It was very refreshing, and a very large portion. The cost was $10 and if I brought back the jar it would cost me $9 to have it refilled.

I had my eye on their pizza menu, in fact this one with veggies, basil and cashew cheese caught my eye. I am not normally such a healthy eater but it had the right look for a perfect pizza.

.

With juice in hand, I zoomed off to my next location happily sipping in between sing sessions with the radio. I am happy I went in to get a cold pressed juice and support a new restaurant within our community. Go and support Vegan Mario's and see if they have anything you might just fancy!

JJ's Sports Zone - Oakview, CA

We always pass this joint and the fact that it was it was actually Monday Night Football we decided to pull in for some fun! Cowboys vs. Bears... it was going to be entertaining!

The menu was standard with all the regular fixings. The fact that they had Happy Hour 1/2 off beer and appetizers got us excited. We ordered two Fat Tires and browsed the menu...

Our waitress talked us into Hot Wings and French Fries claiming that they were the best. They were not but it was fun to try. It was a comfortable spot to watch the game. We will probably back to explore the menu and take in another sporting event.

Big Buddha Furniture Lounge - Oak View, CA

The Big Buddha Furniture Lounge? I thought we were going to go get a drink?

How about a bar that serves drinks, food and you can shop for cool wooden furniture direct from Bali? Sounds great!

We drank beer from Tahiti and nibbled on the Pineapple Express. A flat bread with cilantro, basil, pesto gouda, peppers and pineapple. Very tasty.

I liked the bar. They have music every night and Bingo I believe on Wednesday nights! I hope it survives because it is not at a prime location. Move to Ojai Big Buddha and you will do just fine!
