Ollo - After lunch enough left for dinner! - New American Near Me - Malibu, California

Last night my Beautiful Bride and I enjoyed a date night here in Malibu. We've traditionally gone to Duke's Malibu, but since last year's fire it's still not open -- so we decided to try something new. On the recommendation of our RV park neighbor, we gave OLLO a shot and it absolutely did not disappoint! Even though it's tucked into the Ralphs shopping center, the ambiance was warm and inviting, the food was delicious, wines were great and the service was spot on. Sometimes stepping out of tradition leads to a wonderful new favorite. read more

Just a quick update to my last posting. Today I tried their interpretation of huevos rancheros (3 sunny side up eggs, black pot beans, avocado, pico de gallo, shredded cheese and sour cream on a fried tortilla). I LOVED IT Ollo is my go to place for Sunday brunch. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and food that's consistently good! Keep up the good work! read more

Happy hour everyday from 3pm - close. Need i say more? The portions are not full size but for the price (about $10) it"s perfect! And this gives you an opportunity to try different items. The complimentry bread with our meals was delicious and warm. We ordered the eggplant parmiggiana and pasta pomodoro. Also, there's plenty of free easy parking! read more

Took an hour for us to receive 2 basic Omelettes and a half order of French toast. Cheese on either Omelette was not melted . Food just wasn't good, restaurant isn't very clean vibe is blah. Probably the worst restaurant I've been to since I moved to California 5 years ago. read more

Excellent brunch spot. We arrived early in the morning for a quiet breakfast a day after Christmas. Christmas decor was cute, and they were ready for the New Year festivities. I had the NY Steak and eggs. Excellent choice and serving size. Steak was cooked medium rare and seasoned well! Luis, our server, was attentive and patient! read more

Ollo - Glass noodle bowl. - New American Near Me - Malibu, California

I wanted to love this place. We had a good experience a few years back. Not this time. It was 4:30, mostly empty restaurant. The ambience is lovely, except for the huge overwhelming TVs. Our waiter was quite inattentive and borderline rude. He never stated his name but the server on the bill states Juan Carlos. He only had a couple tables. My whiskey ginger sour was ok, but it took a minute to get. The bread was absolutely scorched. The waiter. never acknowledged our request for water to be refilled (other waiters brought a bottle and left it at the table). He never asked if I wanted another drink and, the worst, took forever to bring the check when asked for it directly. Our food was meh. Grilled salmon bowl with fishy salmon and it stated farro but barely saw any. The zucchini noodles zoodles were fine. I should have taken pics of that. If I eat here again, I will have happy hour at the bar. read more

Came to Malibu for an event. Stopped at Ollo for dinner. We walked in and were seated. The first thing we noticed was the comfortable decor. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and the had nice contemporary music playing. We placed our drink order and asked for some bread. We got our drinks, but no bread. It was almost 20 minutes before were were served our requested bread. We were starting to get a sense that they were short on wait staff. Our waiter was nice but you could pick up on his stress. We started with the Cauliflower appetizer. It was delicious! Not what I expected but very good. I ordered the Beef Short Rib and Mashed Potatoes. My wife asked for the Porcini Mushroom Parpadelle pasta. We received or Beef Short Rib plate and a Beef Ragu Parpadelle dish. The waiter was nowhere to be seen, so she ate the dish she received. For desert we got the Torta Della Nonna. It was good, but the ice cream on the side was the highlight. All in all the food was excellent, the atmosphere was great, but they definitely had a staffing shortage. read more

Decided to give Olllo a shot while passing through Malibu -- it seemed like a cozy, niche spot for breakfast/brunch, and the vibe definitely delivers on that front. Chill atmosphere, trendy coastal decor, and a menu that leans into fresh, simple ingredients. I was hopeful. I ordered the breakfast burrito with pico de gallo, and... mixed feelings. First off, the pico came on the side, which threw me off. Not a huge deal, but it made the burrito look kinda sad and underwhelming on the plate -- like it missed its final styling check. That said, it actually tasted really good. The flavors were on point, the ingredients felt fresh, and it definitely wasn't greasy or overly heavy like some breakfast burritos can be. Where it lost me a bit was value and presentation. For the price (which was up there), the portion felt a bit light. And the side of chips? Didn't really pair well -- more like an afterthought than a complement to the meal. Honestly, if I wasn't in Malibu and trying to try something new, I probably would've just gone to Chipotle. All in all, it's not bad at all -- in fact, it's good -- but I was expecting just a little more given the price point and how it presents itself. Worth trying once if you're in the area, but I'm not rushing back. read more

Ollo - Breakfast Burrito - New American Near Me - Malibu, California

Just an absolute gem in Malibu. We walked in after a frustrating experience nearby and were immediately welcomed with warm, attentive service from Manuk. He made everything effortless--from ordering a glass of wine for my wife and a cocktail for me, to guiding us through the menu. The food was genuinely outstanding, and the whole experience just clicked. It's rare to find a spot that checks every box: great service, delicious food, and that relaxed, small-town Malibu vibe that still feels alive in places like this. Manuk really made the night special, he made our toddler so happy, great high chairs for kids. Well done, OLLO. We'll definitely be back. read more

Breakfast served till 3pm- yessss! If you're a breakfast fan like me, this place is a great choice. I had the Ollo Scramble and it was so good and hearty. My husband got the homemade zucchini bread with strawberry butter, and said it was delicious. If I wasn't gluten-free, I'd have been all over it. Our daughter's Belgian waffle was incredible too. This restaurant is charming with rustic casual vibes and friendly service. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Loved it! read more

Good experience at Ollo, the service was great, we arrived in time for happy hour. The serving of Penne pasta was small but tasty. I would recommend this place for a casual night out for drinks and dinner. read more

I miss the old (previous owner) ollo. I'm sorry, but trying to make this into something it's not- isn't working for me. Between olo and bui, we probably ate at each once a week. Every time I go to ollo now, I am disappointed. The cheese on the pizza never had puddles of Grease because it was good quality cheese, The menu was homie, varied, And pretty much everything was good. Now, we try new things only to feel it fall flat. Honestly- we pretty much only go there now for breakfast because that's pretty hard to screw up- and still feel disappointed. I hate to say that because it used to be our go-to place. I love the old staff that still remains, this is a hard place to make a go of it and I do wish them much success. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while camping in Malibu. Looking for a good breakfast we divided to try out Ollo and we're not disappointed. We were quickly greeted and seated inside. The waiter was friendly and efficient. We started with mimosas (Hello Bubbles) I had breakfast tacos-chorizo and eggs. The plate comes with 3 and I could not finish them. Huevo Rancheros was what hubs ordered. Delish! The taste buds were happy! The restaurant is located in a strip Mall near the CVS a d Ralph's on PCH. They have patio seating. The walls are decorated in funky local art. 10/10 read more

The quality of this dining experience was far below the price tag. Don't waste your money. Our server was terrible; he didn't care about us at all. I've had better food at your average chain restaurant. Decor was shabby and felt like a roadside dive bar. Giant TV's will pull your attention away from good company, they dominate the room. Any other restaurant in this area would have been better than this one. I'm editing to add: $20 was added to my bill after I left because I did not leave much of a tip due to absolutely lousy service. Checking my credit card statement a couple weeks later I noticed the significant difference. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

A wonderful and fun spot in Malibu! I especially love their orecchiette pasta with salmon or in a tomato sauce. They also have an excellent kale salad. The artwork is truly stunning, and it's such a nice place to sit and enjoy Malibu vibes. There's plenty of parking, and the service is always professional. Pics soon read more

I wanted to like this place but it was underwhelming. We went on Mother's Day and it seemed old, run down, unclean, and understaffed. It took a long time to get the waiter to take our order, a long time to get food, had to remind them of my bar order multiple times and the food was ok but ordinary. The best thing was my drink from the bar when it finally arrived and we didn't stay for dessert, nor was it offered. Been to many places in Malibu but this one was disappointing. read more

If I could give them a zero I would. I made a reservation for my family to celebrate my daughter's dance recital and approaching her 18th bday. Her grandparents arrived about 15 minutes ahead of us and were greeted with less than a warm welcome. When my family arrived i was told to be careful of the waiter and not to piss him off. Apparently he was not very gracious and seemed to be bothered when our large party arrived. The night just got worse from there. If we needed a few more seconds to decide when the waiter came around he raised his eyebrows or rolled his eyes and without notice went to another person. The teenagers were reluctant to ask him for anything being unsure of the reaction they would get. Several people in our party dislike their food and two people sent their plates back. My boyfriend's Osso Buco was inedible and he told the waiter to take it back. When the waiter asked if he'd like anything else, he said no thank you. I'm good and got an eye roll and an exasperated sigh from the waiter as he turned very quickly and stomped away. Then proceeded to walk over to the manager and other waiters point at our table and start whispering my boyfriend then said if you have something to say please come talk to me. The owner came over and asked what the problem was. My boyfriend said your waiter is very rude and condescending and the food was not good at all. In fact, it was in edible. The owner said my food is not inedible you just don't know food. My boyfriend cooks like a chef and has been to Michelin star restaurants and family owned an operated little holes in the wall that had better food and better service than this higher and expense Italian place in Malibu. My boyfriend then proceeded to tell the owner he could go into the kitchen and make the Osso Buco better since he does make it at home. The owner got very upset leaned over my head pointing at my boyfriend saying let's go talk outside. Who the hell even does that? we were all shocked at this behaviour and everybody stopped eating their food. I don't think one person out of our 14 person party, actually ate their whole meal or even halfway finished it. It was the worst dining experience I've ever had and I do not recommend this establishment to anyone unless you are in the mood for a food fight.. my family is Italian and I was very disappointed at the behaviour, and the food sucked as well but mostly the behaviour read more

Luis Loza delivered one of the best dining experiences my wife and I have had in a long time. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He knew the menu inside and out, made excellent recommendations, and timed everything perfectly without ever making us feel rushed. What really stood out was his attitude -- friendly, upbeat, and clearly passionate about providing great service. Luis has that rare ability to make guests feel like VIPs while keeping everything effortless and relaxed. The food was fantastic, but his service elevated the entire afternoon. Ollo is lucky to have him, and we'll absolutely be coming back because of the experience he created. If you dine there, ask for Luis Loza -- you'll be in excellent hands. read more

Such a great brunch spot. The crab cake Benedict is generous with crab, which is not easy to find. If you like waffles you will love their Belgium waffles. Perfectly fresh fruit. The drinks were all great. The bartender had the perfect level of spice in the Bloody Mary. The expresso martini was fresh and perfect. The ambiance is nice. Perfect spot to eat while in Malibu. We will be back for dinner. read more

Absolutely appalled by the experience at this restaurant on Mother's Day. Instead of prioritizing the comfort and health of paying customers, management chose to center the entire dining room experience around a massive dog and its incredibly inconsiderate owners. At one point, the dog owner was literally plucking hair off this 100+ lb dog at the table, rolling the fur into napkins, and stuffing it into a water glass. Completely disgusting and honestly felt like a health code violation. Watching dog hair fly around while people were trying to eat was bad enough. Meanwhile, an elderly mother seated nearby was visibly suffering from allergies and sneezing constantly while seated inches from the dog. After the daughter politely asked if the dog could be moved due to her elderly mother's allergies, several customers also suggested moving the dog to the outdoor patio area, (with other dogs) which seemed like a reasonable compromise for everyone involved. To be fair, after multiple complaints, the restaurant initially did remove the dog and its owners from the dining room. Unfortunately, they later returned after claiming "discrimination," and instead of calmly de-escalating the situation, the manager/owner proceeded to chastise the surrounding customers who had raised reasonable concerns about allergies, sanitation, and dining comfort. The situation escalated unnecessarily, and the restaurant handled it with hostility and zero professionalism. At one point, the manager/owner even brought up calling the police, though it was unclear to what point, despite customers simply voicing legitimate concerns about hygiene and allergies. Never mind the fact that the service itself was already terrible. Our table had not even been approached by a server for nearly 20 minutes, making the entire experience even more frustrating. The smug attitude from both the dog owners and management was unbelievable. Multiple people ultimately walked out because the environment became so uncomfortable and confrontational. There's a difference between being pet-friendly and completely disregarding sanitation, allergies, and the comfort of your customers. Sadly, this restaurant chose theatrics, confrontation, intimidation, and poor customer service over common sense and professionalism. read more

Service was awful. They took so long to fulfill any request. Took 20 minutes just for some straws and crushed red pepper. They were not busy at all, half of the restaurant was empty, so no excuse. Such a bad experience, that I left before I even ordered main courses. Starters we ordered were inedible. Soggy calamari and weird flavored Arincini. Was so disappointed that instantly afterwards we went to eat at a restaurant next door. read more

Worst service I've ever gotten at a restaurant in my life. Food tasted like air, minus the bread. The linguine was extremely oily, pizza tasted like rubber, and the soups tasted like it came straight from a can. Server was absolutely atrocious and has no respect for customers. Same deal with the owner. He in fact, cursed out a family member, and told him to "talk outside". Who would ever do that?! While he was berating my family, he was also leaning over a woman in my party to try to get in my uncles face. Even if you disagree with what a customer says, as a business owner, you take the criticism and do what you need to do. If you want to be disrespected and berated for speaking your mind, come here. read more

Located in a shopping plaza in Malibu right on PCH. Parking was plentiful and free. Came in for their HH, which is only available at the bar. Came in right from the beach, so their dress code is lax. The friendly staff was great through out the experience. We ordered a couple of drinks off of the HH menu to start. Decided to go with the calamari, pizza and arancini. Just remember that this is all from the HH menu, so portion sizes are smaller than a normal order. That being said, the pizza was not bad. It's a Margherita style pizza. It's a pretty small size so make sure you order other items if you are looking to get full. While waiting, for our food, we were given some bread to munch on. I think they were focaccia if I'm not mistaken with salt sprinkled on top. It's a nice little starter. The calamari was fine. It came with marinara dipping sauce and a lemon. It was nice and crispy. The arancini was pretty tasty also. Overall, the food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Their HH menu is not half bad. There should be things on there for everyone. The drinks were a little on the stiff side and a little off to me. But, the bartender was willing to remake anything if it wasn't up to snuff. But I rarely send my drinks back, so I just drank what I was made for me. read more

For a restaurant by the beach, the prices here are quite reasonable. There is a lot of parking space in the front. Walked in, and was seated. Ordered the Wagyu burger and the salmon bowl. The Wagyu burger was good, nothing super mind-blowing. I loved how I didn't even have to chew, it just melted. We were hoping that the server would hand us the dessert menu but he didn't so we just ate dinner and left to get sweets elsewhere. read more

I came here for a late birthday celebration for myself with family. We sat in the corner booth next to the fireplace. The ambiance of the whole place was lovely. The bar was very pretty looking and had a wide selection of choices for drinks. I got the Ollo scramble which was nice. The eggs were a tad on the unseasoned side but I digress. One of my family members got the Malibu Chop which was had too much blue cheese and the turkey was very plain. The service was great though. We came at the beginning of happy hour so it was slow and we had the place for ourselves which you can never complain about. The one thing I'll note that was my biggest gripe was that only one of the bathrooms was open while the other was closed. Not only that but multiple women went into the restroom at once so I had to wait till every single one cleared out even though it clearly stated it was for one person at a time. Not the biggest deal but just felt I should note it! I'd come back here and order differently and figure out what works with my palate. Overall a nice place to visit if you're in Malibu and want a relaxed place with good music and decent food. read more

We visited this restaurant on Christmas Day for breakfast, and the location couldn't have been better -- it's a great spot with a nice atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience pleasant. As for the food, it was just okay. We tried the French toast, huevos rancheros, and eggs Benedict. Each dish was fine but nothing particularly memorable. read more

Great ambiance, great food, great service. Food: The food was super fresh and delicious. I was very surprised with the quantity of food. It was a bit pricey, but for the quality and quantity, it was very much worth it! Definitely give the breakfast tacos a try and get the potatoes on the side! *The only problem I had was with the pancakes. It felt too doughy, as if it was not cooked all the way. The texture was definitely off. Ambiance: Cute interior and calming outdoor seating (with heated lamps if you ask). We sat outside and it was very nice. All of the tables were comfortably spaced. The interior was very nice and clean. Bathroom was very clean! Service: Quick service and accommodating servers. Location: Located at a small outdoor mall so lots of parking available! It's in the heart of Malibu, so it's a perfect place to get brunch before a hike or a beach day! Highly recommend stopping by this place if you go to Malibu! You won't be disappointed! read more

This has very little to do with service, our server was fine. She was very sweet and attentive. We had a 1:45 reservation on Mother's Day for which we showed up 20 minutes early, and for some reason still had to wait 15 minutes after our reservation time. The hostess said she'd "do a loop" to find our table (you could see the entire restaurant from where we stood) and then stood and talked with another guest for 5 minutes. Then came back and said "inside or outside? Let me do a loop." Girl. The place is full of dogs. I hope you like looking at a dog's open mouth while you eat. (For the record I love dogs, but gross.) At one point right as we sat down (and we ate inside not on the patio), a runner accidentally dropped another nearby table's food-- chips, salsa whatever else--on the floor. And it just sat there and the entire time we ate lunch. People walked through it. Dogs were eating it. It was truly insane. One woman's dog started to pee as they were going outside. I mean; the dog came under our table and lifted its leg and she yanked it away...it almost peed on my husband's leg. The food was meh. I got the breakfast burrito. It was a little bland to be honest. My son got the cheese pizza which smelled and sort of tasted like tunafish...and it was...wet. Nothing like wet pizza to quench your thirst. My husband got a Caesar salad with added chicken, and this little weird piece of flat chicken showed up before the salad??? It was such a weird choice! It just sat there looking sad while he waiting for his salad. The hostess asked if she could get us anything while we waited for our food, which is super nice. We asked for some bread and she disappeared I guess to do another loop. It was also really strange seeing how slow the turnover was. People just sat at their tables without food, having already eaten, and just browsed on their phones. This is more of a public service announcement for restaurant goers. The restaurant wants you to leave. They have to be nice to you. The longer you sit there the more money they lose because they cannot turn the table over for a new seating. Like, yes, it was Mother's Day, but the place was not at all slammed. Anyway, we'll never be back. Enjoy your dogs. read more

We stopped in for our first time this past Saturday for brunch and both had a great experience. Located in beautiful Malibu right off the PCH this shopping center always has a ton of free parking, which was really convenient given how most other restaurants in LA don't have as many free and available spaces. Service was fast and friendly and we were able to be seated right when we arrived for a 10:30 brunch. They have indoor and outdoor tables but most people choose to sit indoor, which was our choice as well. They have a very large menu filled with all sorts of great options. Eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast dish so when I read all the positive reviews of their Crab Cake Benedict I knew I had to try it. I can confirm it was very good. The eggs were perfectly runny, and the crab cake itself had great flavors. We also ordered the Huevos Rancheros which came in a huge sized portion surrounded by one large tostada shell curved on the edges. That was a really nice touch because we used the shell to soak up the rest of the juices/food. Overall a solid breakfast option in Malibu. It was not as cheap as local diners but still not overly expensive, especially given the location. read more

Ollo is one of our go-to lunch and dinner spots since it is so close to home. The food is always fresh and delicious! They also have a full bar and decent selection of wines to choose from. Among my favorite dishes are the salmon pasta and the mushroom pizza! I recently had breakfast there, and Ollo never disappoints! The Ollo Scramble has mushrooms, spinach, onions and cheese all scrambled in to a large portion of eggs! I had to take home leftovers! The service is always outstanding and the staff really makes an effort to get to know you. The inside of the restaurant has beautiful large paintings, I believe from local artists; it's always fun looking around at the artwork. Still one of our go-to restaurants!! Ollo is the best! read more

I used to love this place. At one point in my life, it was the spot. The burger? Unmatched. The pasta? Absolute fire. I would crave it weekly. Back then, it was hands down the best burger and pasta I had ever had. But something has changed. I grabbed the burger to-go recently and it just didn't hit the same. It was decent. Not bad, just not memorable. I've always gotten it to-go so I don't think that's the issue. The pasta still had some flavor but it didn't smack like it used to. Maybe they switched the recipe. Maybe it's a different cut of meat since COVID. Either way, the magic wasn't there. That said, the place still holds up in other ways. The vibe is relaxing. The space is clean. It still feels like a Malibu staple that knows what it's doing. But the food used to feel like a reward. Now it just feels like a safe option. Still worth the visit, just not the obsession it once was. It's giving... fallen favorite. read more

Shaded by a canopy of of Magenta Bougainvillea, Ollo, 23750 PCH in Malibu was a beautiful stop for an old fashion breakfast. I highly recommend you order the Olle Scramble when Luis come to take your order. The plate comes with boiled and then roasted potatoes that are lightly seasoned with Rosemary from fresh potatoes that are quarteted, a beautiful green salad that has a hint of a vinaigrette dressing and toast. My spouse had and 3 ingredient Omelet that was STUFFED with cheese, bacon and sausage. The Ice Coffee was of European quality. So, a beautiful patio, to ensure great service ask for Luis and the staff who service your table and amazing food, you cannot go wrong having breakfast at Ollo. read more

Absolutely amazing breakfast spot in Malibu! The menu was full of classic breakfast favorites and everything we ordered was delicious. While it's not right on the beach and doesn't have ocean views, the atmosphere more than makes up for it--warm, welcoming, and so pleasant to be in. The ambiance is everything! It is stunning!! The service was truly outstanding. Our server, Luis, was incredibly kind, attentive, and answered all of our questions with a smile. He really made the experience special. The food came out so fast, and the patio is dog-friendly, which was a huge bonus for us. We left so happy with our choice and would absolutely return--next time, I'd love to see what they offer for lunch or dinner too! Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving a great classic American breakfast in a great setting! read more
