    Mint lemonade
    Melissa O.

    Love this place. They have great food and the view over the beach is gorgeous. Stopped by a few minutes before they opened at 9am and there was already a line of 10 people in front. We were seated pretty quickly and service was great and pretty quick. I ordered the fried egg sandwich and a mint lemonade- both great! My son ordered a waffle and he liked it a lot, too. The mini pancakes were great as well. The restaurant is right at the front of the pier, right next to the beach. It's about 16 min from the Getty Villa- great place to stop by before spending a day perusing an art gallery.

    I've been trying to come here for lunch for a while (on the weekends haha), but the wait has been always so long that honestly I give up and go somewhere else! Finally, a friend and I came here on a Thursday for lunch at noon, and we were able to get seated without any waiting!! Even though it wasn't super busy at the time when we sat down, it still took awhile for the staff to come and take our order and later for the food to come out (maybe 25 mins?) -- it was OK because of the location and my friend and I were able to take some time to catch up and enjoy the view of the Pacific Ocean! The food was honestly pricier most likely because of the real estate! Our food in total came out to about $95 (with tip); and we got the shrimp burger + "build your own tacos"! The shrimp was okay - tasted a bit plastic-y, and my friend said the tacos were surprisingly decent! Not sure if I would come here again for the food in particular because of the price and wait -- but definitely for the views! However you could always bring food and then come by the pier to enjoy it haha. Maybe I would give it another try if I was bringing someone here to visit from out of town to give them that "Malibu" experience but won't be a go-to spot for me! Regarding parking, we were able to find street parking on the PCH, but there are also paid options nearby (I think $15??)! Regarding the bathroom, my friend said that she was able to go, and it was clean, but by the time I wanted to use the restroom, there was such a long line with maybe 10 people that I just gave up and went to the Malibu country Mart, which was five minutes away driving. TLDR, come for the views and the overall experience!

    We came here for a birthday lunch and overall had a good experience. The location is beautiful, with a great view of the ocean, and the atmosphere is really nice. The only thing that didn't make a great first impression was that my friend wasn't allowed to be seated while waiting for the rest of us. We were looking for parking, which took about 25-30 minutes. Since it was her birthday, it would have been nice if they had let her wait at the table instead of standing outside. The food was good overall. We started with oysters, which were fresh and tasty, but much smaller than we expected. I had the shrimp burger. The shrimp and the sauce were a little too spicy for my taste, and the burger itself was quite dry. The small cabbage and carrot slaw underneath didn't really work with the shrimp and didn't add much flavor or moisture. I think replacing it with a fresh salad, or even serving a side salad instead, would make the whole dish much better. The rice was actually delicious, but the portion was very small. Overall, I'd give this place 4 stars. The food was good, the service was pleasant, and the ocean view is definitely the reason to visit

    Great View, Fresh food, but wild prices! I went with my brother and cousin. We got nachos, the poke bowl, and a crab cake. All the ingredients were very fresh, felt homemade and made you feel good while eating. However these dishes are simple, easy to make at home if you have any cooking skill and are unreasonably priced in my opinion. I remember the nachos being $18+ or so and the other dishes being a bit more pricey. The views were great, but I don't think I see myself returning. This felt like you were paying for hype and for the scenic view. The service we got while there wasn't good as well and we had to flag down the server. Overall a good experience while in LA and I'm glad I tried it once while I was there, but I'll stick to cooking at home.

    The restaurant has a prime location on the pier but I think that's their biggest draw. The food is ok. Service is also ok. We made a reservation for my birthday and wanted to see if we could sit an hour earlier, outdoors as my reservation had it. Instead of just telling us no, they had us stand there for an hour. I appreciate the effort but I could have done something else and came back. Ceviche was great. Crab cake was dry. Gnocchi was ok Pasta was good but very salty as if they doused it in clam juice to get seafood flavor in it

    Immunity flight

    Ambiance and service? Hands down 5 stars. The setting is beautiful, and you really can't beat sitting by the water, listening to the waves roll in. The weather was perfect, and it made for such a relaxing brunch. Now let's talk about the food. I ordered the fried egg sandwich with bacon, havarti cheese, and lemon aioli on country wheat toast. Unfortunately, it was so bland. It honestly seemed like the eggs weren't seasoned at all. No salt, no pepper, nothing. It came with a side of potatoes and arugula salad, and even the potatoes lacked seasoning. Malibu Farm Restaurant... why don't y'all season y'all food?! The drinks, though? They were it. I ordered the mocha latte, and it was absolutely delicious. Not overly sweet, just perfectly made. I also tried the immunity flight, which included their wellness, immunity, and detox shots. Exactly what I needed. A little tip: they don't take reservations for brunch, so it's first come, first served. We dined on a Sunday around 11:30 a.m. and were seated right away. By the time we were leaving, though, there was a pretty long line of people waiting for a table.

    The most beautiful view and really fresh food. Was extremely and pleasantly surprised by the lobster Mac and cheese. The fish tacos were great, the nachos rocked, the espresso martini was amazing. Big fan. Need to come try brunch here. Service was amazing and this view was so beautiful that I won't ever forget this dinner! Worth it alone for the view.

    My family went here on a Saturday night for our Mother's Day dinner, and it is a meal that I will be thinking about for a LONG time. We had a reservation for 7:30. There was a little confusion about where to check in since people were ordering dessert from what we thought was the host stand. Turns out you can order dessert to go from the host. The host was very kind about helping us get in the right spot to check in. Once we checked in, they asked if we wanted inside or outside. We opted to eat inside since it was foggy and a little chilly. They do have heaters, and the outside is adorable, so I def want to come back and sit outside. Once we were seated, our server greeted us promptly. I didn't catch his name, but he was great throughout the whole meal. He had been there about 11 years, so he had the right recommendations and answers to our questions about things like when the building was built. He also asked clarifying questions to make sure he got us what we wanted. We started with drinks. I ordered Diet Coke and was offered a local diet cola. They are farm to table, so I thought this was charming. The flavor of it was really good. It tasted just like Diet Coke, but it didn't burn the throat quite the same. My little brother got their mint lemonade and it was super refreshing. For starters, we did the ceviche and Malibu nachos. Both were amazing. Some of the best ceviche I've had. It had honeydew melon in it which gave it a sweet but light flavor. It came with taro chips that I loved. It is a little spicy but totally bearable. The nachos were amazing. They had crème fraiche on them that was soooo creamy and yummy. I would call both of these must try items!! For dinner, we got the hanger steak, lobster roll, lobster mac and cheese, the sea bass, and the poblano risotto. I can't pick a favorite because they were all amazing. The chef clearly puts a lot of care into the way he is mixing the flavors. Everything is cooked perfectly. My stepdad was the one who got the sea bass. He said it was the best fish he's ever had, and he can be hard to please. Each dish also incorporated veggies into it very creatively so it didn't feel veggie forward but was! For dessert, we got the grilled chocolate cake. The cake was perfect. It was delicious without being too rich. The vanilla ice cream went perfectly with it. They also had some of the yummiest strawberries I've ever had on it. Absolutely delicious. This was truly an incredible experience with some of the most amazing food I've ever had, and you're eating it right by the beach with ocean views. The decor is adorable. The building was built in 1938, so it is incredibly charming. I loved it so much and hope to be back as soon as possible!!

    Brunch

    Look no further for the perfect beach vibe cafe. Great for out of towners, celebrations or a quaint brunch or coffee for two (check out the smaller cafe at the end of the pier for a smaller party) Food is top notch, quick fast service, and the frose lived up to the hype. (This was a few years ago... not sure if they still have the items pictured here.) Love this spot. Continue to come back. Afterwards take an easy stroll under the pier and on the beach or to the end of the pier.

    Came here after visiting the Getty Villa and I loved it! They sat me outside right away and my table had a great view of the pier and coastline. The host and servers were all friendly and very quickly got the order out. I got the squash LA ash flatbread and really enjoyed it. It was cooked perfectly and the vegetables and agave were really tasty. Given the location, I think it is pretty fairly priced. Sadly, they were out of both vegan desserts (I was excited for the cheesecake), but I figure it is just due to a lot of vegan customers and limited options. Overall, I recommend coming here!

    Omelette
    David L.

    Beautiful relaxing brunch at MFR. Plenty of healthy and comfort options to go with your libation of choice. Enjoyed a savory Bloody Mary with a chorizo burrito and omelette. Quick and friendly service. Look for parking along PCH. Enjoy the stroll if you park further down the road.

    Malibu Farm is the kind of place that just hits everything right. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind--rare to find service that feels this effortless and real. The food? Clean, fresh, and perfectly done. Healthy without sacrificing flavor--every bite tasted intentional and so satisfying. And then there's the view... oceanfront, peaceful, and absolutely stunning. It turns a simple meal into an experience. Perfect food, perfect energy, perfect setting.

    Nachos

    A beautiful beach view in a very coastal restaurant. We came as a walk in during sunset on a winter Saturday and were seated right away and near a window indoors. The menu has a little bit of everything in that new-American, very healthy, seafood forward way. Price is high, but seems expected for the area. Starting with the cocktails, I got the marcha one and it was delicious! Pretty matcha forward and the flavors were there. 21 mile crab cake - a very healthy version lol but the crab cake was a good size and tasted good! beefy 'bu nachos - our heartiest plate and it delivered. The flavor was the classic beefy nachos without the cheese. Sea Bass Poke Bowl - fish was fresh, I think could use a little more sauce? build your own fish tacos - a good portion of fish to fill 4 tacos. I like the fresh cabbage and the sauce accompanied here was good. grilled chocolate cake - was a unique twist to a classic chocolate cake! The 'grilled-ness' worked really well with the chocolate. Would always love more berries to accompany it!

    Ask the Community - Malibu Farm Restaurant

    Did it survive?

    Yes

    Is there a rental fee if I have a large party reservation of less than 30 and am seated in the main dining area with the "prefix meal"? Or will it just be the per person pricing?

    Do they need reservations for weekend brunch?

    You can make a reservation, or get there just before they open and be seated with no problem.

    Is there a dress code?

    No dress code

    Do they have a kids menu?

    Yes they do, I was there last night. It's a separate link on the online menu

    Do they take walk ins for dinner if there are no reservations available?

    Yes they do take walk ins , the restaurant is pretty big and they have been great at accommodating.

    Do they have diabetic friendly menu items? If so what are they or what modifications do you suggest?

    Do they require proof of vaccination?

    No, they are in the City of Malibu, but could ask in the future...

    Do they charge a corkage fee?

    $25

    How much does the city of Malibu fine you if they find your dog here? I know the restaurant allows dogs but they specifically state that the city may fine you if they see. Does the city actually patrol the pier looking for violations?

    Malibu Farms is generally great about being dog friendly. No complaints or issues every time I've gone, including two weeks ago.

    Is there a valet parking for the restaurant?

    No valet but it's $10 to park in the parking lot adjacent to it. Max $15.

    Where do we park?

    There is parking lot at the pier where the restaurant is located for $15. Street parking is free however if you come on the weekend it's almost impossible to find street… 

    Is the cafe at the end of the pier open on Labor Day?

    Not sure. Best to call them. Just google the number. I would think it would be open, but good luck finding parking.

    Are dogs allowed?

    While they don't turn us and our small dogs away technically you can get a hefty ticket since it's a state park being on the pier. If they are easily concealable you're probably ok.

    What's good for dinner? I want to come on the evening and watch the sunset but do they sell lunch after noon?

    I'm pretty sure they do The one at the end of the pier closes earlier than the one at the front

    Hi! Is this place dog friendly?

    We ate outside, so I assume dogs would be fine. It seems like everywhere is pretty dog friendly in Malibu!

    Hi- is there access to the beach from the restaurant?

    Yes! There is an area nearby that takes you down to the beach!

    Do they still make the Halibut sandwich?!

    I didn't see that on the menu :(

    Qual o prato mais famoso?

    Praticamente tudo, mas os meus favoritos são a couve-flor pizza, nachos, stoplight tacos, burger, e bolo de chocolate grelhado !! As melhores bebidas não-alcoólicas são o kale e smoothie de maçã ea limonada de hortelã. espero que isto ajude!

It was a little bit of a bummer that they didn't do anything for my sister's birthday, but maybe it's because we didn't order enough food? Not sure. They do have belly dancers during the dinner time, so it can be a fun evening. Live music as well. Definitely a fun environment! Parking can be tricky, but thankfully, I lucked out. The area is really cool. Love the shopping area! There is no doubt I'll be back.

The mini pancakes got mushy quick, so these definitely should be eaten sooner rather than later. The syrup and fruits atop the pancakes were extremely sweet and the dish overall left my stomach feeling heavy. Unfortunately this place is an overpriced tourist trap.
