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

The good the bad and the ugly. The good was the amazing special of the day the flatbread with cheese and mushrooms and truffles. It was unbelievably good. My Bolognese was fine and the artichoke salad got five stars. The bad was the Hamachi Crudo, which was OK and the ugly the lobster. The half lobster on pasta was very disappointing. The lobster was not fresh and not very good. Fortunately it did not ruin the linguine which was fine. The service was wonderful, attentive and caring. We had a family member Who was in a lot of pain and our server was very understanding and packed up are to go order quickly so we could get home. The restaurant location is beautiful on the beach. It was a windy, sunny, beautiful ocean day.

It was my first time there. Service was great! We had a window seat on a quiet Sunday night.Me and my partner got the Salmon dinner shared and it was phenomenal. The lobster Mac is also a staple if you go, it is a huge portion! The octopus starter was great as well!
