Wonderful spot. I loved it. Finnally, normal healthy food! We had a table outside on the terrace because seating upstairs took a while. Because we couldnât see the sunset the hostess told us that most guests walked to the front of the restaurants or to the beach acros the street.We started in the bar with a cocktail. Most people were dressed up. The food is fresh and creative. The hostess is nice. The spot is marvellous.After dinner we walked to the beach for 5 minutes to enjoy the sunset and make pictures. It was our last night in LA.The only setback was that the valet man was angry because we had taken too long at the beach??? Excuse me?? We just spend a fortune on cocktails, wine and food?? My husband was quit upset about it. Is there a time period for dining out?

We went out of our way to visit Dukes as we love the one in Honolulu. We were not disappointed. Excellent service with fresh food. The menu is smaller, but all four in our party found something that appealed. We all enjoyed our meals, along with the magnificent ocean views. We ended sharing the must have hula pie.

I would say this small little Italian flared restaurant along Pacific Coast Highway should be considered fine dining as the prices are quite high like the Lamb Chops over $50 but the food is very well prepared and quite tasty. I loved the Lamb chops encrusted in Pesto. There were three very meaty large chops that filled me up. The wine list was good. Specials were nice. I would say a party of two will spend $200-$250 with wine for a nice dinner. The chopped salad was one of the best I have had recently. I will definitely visit this fine Italian restaurant again soon.

Enjoyed my sea bass, grilled and seasoned to perfection. Loved the sautéed vegetables, cooked to perfection. Enjoyed the crispy fried calamari infused with a truffle flavour. Breathtaking ocean view right beneath the restaurant. Buzzy place, fun crowd, nice live music with good entertainment. The desserts were excellent. Loved their massive signature cake with the blob of ice cream on top as well as the rich but yummy profiteroles.

I stopped here with my wife and daughter for breakfast on a busy Saturday morning. We were seated right away. The service was quick and friendly. The food was outstanding and so was the coffee. Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was full of people. All good!

Geoffreyâs is a treat for any meal or reason. Located on PCH Hwy in Malibu my wife and I visited for a Saturday breakfast and were seated on the deck facing the ocean. Service was first rate, meals were terrific and an inspiring view to boot! Valet parking makes entry and departure a breeze.

Malibu Farm Pier Cafe serves fresh and simple dishes with a lovely Californian vibe. The service is as sunny as the weather and the setting is memorable. My only serious quibble with this establishment is that you have to use a car park which charges $15. I donât live in California so perhaps I shouldnât be shocked by this but, I am!

What a pleasant surprise. The cauliflower crust 'Pizza' was interesting and tasty. The skirt steak was exceptional, however the spaghetti squash was a looser. Vegan pumpkin ice cream, well, it was vegan ice cream. Service was good and in a nice restaurant setting. Wine list contains some inexpensive and interesting wines.

Oceanside restaurant with breathtaking panoramic views for romantic dining. Our chic nightspot. Serenades by live DJs spinning hot tracks nightly in the Blue Lounge, brims with a vogue, Hollywood-meets-Malibu crowd, indulging in a tranquil, yet hip vibe.

This was such a wonderful surprise. Window seats hanging over the water....so great if available... the earlier the better. We got there on a Friday nite about 6 and were able to get a window.Food and drinks were very good but a bit pricey. Our dinner for two with tip was around $200 but it was worth the two hours of fun we had hanging over the water.The cod was excellent as was the short rib pasta and the shrimp pasta.

My family and I ended up here on my recommendation. The problem was I misunderstood what type of hash they were talking about . When I heard they had a hot hash, truffle Hash etc. I just assumed that it was different types of corn beef Hash a roast beef hash. I did not realize what they were talking about until we sat down and found out that it was different types of HASH brown potatoes LOL. It was still good but just not the same . The food was tasty and the owner was friendly and the Decor is strangely funny but it's just not the same if you have your taste buds set for a different type of hash .
