The patio garden at Suzanne's Cuisine in Ojai With gas prices low and my spirits high , I decided to take a day trip to Ojai for lunch with a friend. She suggested that we make a reservation on the garden patio at Suzanne's Cuisine . As soon as I walked onto the back patio, I felt like I was a world, not two hours, away from Los Angeles. We were seated next to a lovely garden with a burbling fountain and hovering hummingbird. It was like being invited for lunch at a friend's house
