reviews_071309_chefmykavilesOjai, CA – Bodees’s restaurant located in Ojai, on 3304 Maricopa Highway is pleased to announce that Chef Myk Aviles is now the Executive Chef at this landmark dining venue. Born and raised in Ventura, California, Chef Myk graduated from the Culinary Art Institute of Los Angeles, specializing in fine dining world cuisine. Over the past eleven years, Chef Myk has expressed his passion, creativity, and overall love for food through his fusion inspired cuisine. He has honed his skills at fine dining establishments across the United States and has returned to his roots here in Ventura County as Bodee’s Executive Chef in May of 2009.

According to Chef Myk, “One of my greatest pleasures is enticing one’s palate through the use of locally grown produce, fresh seafood, and wild game. I have spent a good portion of my career developing à la minute sauces and seasonings that complement and enhance the most complex dishes.”

Additionally, Chef Myk states, “The root to any great chef’s success is to embrace your surroundings, thereby enhancing the overall dining experience.” Bodee’s unique ambience and location is unequalled anywhere in the County, making it a unique destination for a weeknight dinner or special weekend occasion.

At Bodee’s, it’s all about the atmosphere, it’s what makes the restaurant and the experience at Bodee’s an event to remember. Alfresco dining at its finest can be found at Bodee’s. The waterscaped garden and fern grotto environment is nestled into the wooded hillside creating a pristine location. Or, choose a table near the expansive outdoor fireplace for a uniquely casual and tranquil experience. For those interested in a cozy retreat, then Bodee’s indoor dining area is the ideal setting. Dark, rich wood paneling adorns the walls, while the original brick fireplace hearth adds warmth and charm. Custom designed high back plush fabric and leather seating creates an ambience where one can relish the wide variety of Chef Myk’s culinary offerings.

According to Michele Cromer-Bentivolio, Bodee’s proprietress, “The Bodee’s family is thrilled to have Chef Myk in the kitchen where he will introduce our clientele to his bountiful flavor combinations and skillfully presented plates.”

Food and wine pairings will be an integral part of the soon to be updated menu, making a night out at Bodee’s a special event, even on a Wednesday.
