Had a really excellent meal here on Friday night. Great views, really warm & inviting atmosphere, attentive service & the food was outstanding. We split the Waygu Beef Meatball appetizer which was perfect for our party of three. All of us loved it - great, rich flavor in a well-prepared sauce that allowed the flavor to come through. We had drinks - I had a great Italian Pinot Grigio and my friends had mixed drinks that came out perfectly. For our main courses, we had fish tacos (both my friends) and I had the Chopped Salad which was comprised of chicken, vegetables, grains and avocado in a balsamic dressing - so good and a generous portion (having it for lunch tomorrow). And after, I had a soy cappuccino that hit the spot. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough - Ron, the manager, and Nico, our server do an excellent job. I can’t wait to return.

We had a beautiful table for 4 upstairs. The view was great!! We were celebrating my birthday & our server helped my daughter deliver a candle in our dessert. The food was divine, we had lobster risotto, mushroom risotto, the salmon & the pumpkin tortellini was beyond. We had a lovely time.

Ambiance was great. The tempura oysters and advacado was good. The wings were way overpriced for nothing special that you can get at any Korean fried chicken place. Would not go back.

Great location. The food is very good, as is the service. We were with an 18 month old, and he was great, with plenty of room to run around. This is our go-to brunch place.

This restaurant is likely much better with the view and ambience not during a 6 pm time-slot during this time of the year and when it isn’t raining. Reservation fail for not considering this while visiting Malibu for the first time and staying closer to the other side closer to Pacific Palisades. I liked the staff but the food was good but didn’t match the price points in my opinion. My adult children enjoyed it and that’s all that really mattered. Idk if I would go back when I visit again at night - I was really more interested in the experience and view than the menu.

Always a great time with outstanding food choices, but sometimes when we are seated near windows or doors the wind is a bit much
