Best Live Music Restaurants in Malibu

I dreaded going out on Christmas Day. The restaurant was very crowded and noisy. One screaming baby--why do people bring kids to good restaurants? The server Chasen was absolutely great. He was on top of everything and extremely nice and pleasant. The oysters were excellent, fresh and full, served well with sauce and lemon. The caesar salad was very good. The double thick pork chop with a chutney and a butter sauce was excellent. I did not eat the dessert, but it looked good, some sort of cherry thing with ice cream and whipped cream. We had a very nice table in a corner with windows. It was a bit away from the crowded center. It was a perfect experience for any time, but especially for Christmas Day. Dining at 4:00 was a good idea, but it was very full when we got there and showed no signs of letting up. Thank you to Chasen and Gabriel, his busser, for making our experience so good.

Everything was amazing and our server Kobe was beyond amazing. Perfect evening.

We're staying at a condo nearby and saw this place during a quick stop at the grocery store located in the same strip mall. Small plates were delicious and service was very good. Read it was a local neighborhood fave and can see why!

Lunch was superb, as the Contadina Schiacciate is a favorite, with artichokes and other vegetables pressed with melted rubiola cheese in between flaky focaccia. The seasonal salad offered even more artichokes and intensely flavored tomatoes. The patio is delightful, complete with lovely Italian tableware. Service was prompt, but nobody seemed rushed, most diners enjoying the terrific food and convivial atmosphere.

Great ambiance and staff, good food and drinks, excellent place to enjoy in the company of friends and family! The band was amazing.
