At the age of 16, Chef Watson’s first job was at Raphael’s Bar & Bistro in Providence, Rhode Island. His passion for food proceeded to take him to several 4 and 5 star restaurants throughout his tenure in Providence. Now, at the age of 27, Chris has more than 11 years experience as a chef and has cooked at some of Ventura counties finest restaurants including Nona’s Courtyard Café, Table 13, Marvilla and the Ojai Valley Inn. Chris describes his cuisine style as passionately flavorful. According to Chris, “Food is not quantum physics. It’s about keeping your ideas within certain flavor profiles, the same way a musician works with scales.” This balance between precision and inspiration rewards those who enjoy one of his meals with a delightfully palate pleasing fusion of tastes to savor.
The imaginative, yet classically elegant plating presentations scintillate the eyes, while the aromatic bouquet of the well-blended spices of each dish satisfy the sense of smell. Last, but not least, the taste buds are aroused by the variety of textural elements of each delicious bite. A true gastronomic experience. According to Chris, “The menu at Bodee’s has been designed to please all who visit our establishment.” Whether you’re in the mood for a mouth-watering Prime-Cut Porterhouse steak, a freshly filleted piece of salmon, barbequed baby-back ribs, succulent chicken, pasta or a vegetarian lentil dish, Bodee’s has an entrée to appeal to whatever you’re in the mood for…so try them all.
But, Chris is never too busy to check-in on you…our guest, to make sure that your meal has been prepared just as you like it. He has developed the wine list here at Bodee’s to specifically compliment our menu, so please, ask him which wine on our list he suggests you try with your meal. |

Chef Chris is a stickler for details, so he puts in long hours to make sure that your dining experience will be truly special and that you will make Bodee’s your #1 dining destination here in Ojai.
