Bookmarked for future trips near Malibu!…read more Stopped in for lunch and ordered the wings and the Wagyu double burger, and both were outstanding. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the wings were equally satisfying and crispy (they were able to make me some with no sauce). It was exactly the kind of meal I was hoping for after a full day at the beach and on the road. The location has plenty of parking, which is always a plus in this area, and there is a nice outdoor dining space in front where you can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while you eat. What really stood out was the customer service. One of the employees working near the deli area, I didn't catch his name, but I remember his distinctive earring and tattoos, provided exceptional service. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that customers had a great experience. The entire store was clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Even the restrooms were spotless, which says a lot about how well the business is managed. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be stopping back the next time I'm in the area.

Now imagine it costs twice as much as Whole Foods. Boom. The only reason why it's 3.5 on 5 is the exceptional customer service. Really really nice and down to earth staff. You'd only go there if you are a tourist or a local who doesn't want to drive to a decent grocery store. Everything is mediocre. Ingredients are not clean. There's a lot of variety, from cut fruits to breakfast burritos, baguettes to bagels, sandwiches to poke. Many of the wraps and sandwiches looked sad and dry. $12 for cut papayas and $19 for small cut mixed fruits (if you are thinking organic, nada conventional). It's still decent to pickup overpriced staples in a rush, convenience, but not for stocking up your kitchen. Will we be back, probably, since any other store in western Malibu is a minimum half hour commute.

Pavillions usually strive to be a more upscale market and out-do markets like Ralphs. I do not mind paying extra. However, I do mind being overcharged. I picked some small tomatoes on the ripe they were advertising for $5.99 a bag. I was charged $14.40. On our way to our car my wife and I wondered why we had just paid $50 for some eggs, a quart of milk, some mozzarella and some tomatoes. Checking the receipt: tomotoes not $5,99 but $14,40 (and: we said we do not need bags - the bag man had already started packing, said never mind - and we were charged for two bags :-( I went back to our cashier Ana, who strived to be the manager, and, of course, everything was my fault. I just picked the wrong tomatoes. I went back to the produce section - and there was this sign in the middle of the tomatoes I had picked - "tomatoes on the ripe - $5.99". Unwillingly, she followed me and someone must have out a wrong sign there. My mentioning that this were (a) the only tomatoes on the ripe and that (b) there were no other tomatoes on the ripe was shrugged of. I was eventually refunded - she tried to make me go back to the car again and get the credit card, but then refunded me in cash. Food good, ambiance OK, service meh. I will never go again.

I purchased the salad for myself and the Mac/Cheese for my niece. The cashier near the food & deli area was closed so I went to a regular checkout line. The customer care of the cashier was unwelcoming. I had to make her speak. I went to scan my Amazon code and she told me I wouldn't need it and proceeded to continue ringing up my items. I didn't think anything of it until she belted out over $40 total. She ignored that I told her I had a salad and still rang it all up as hot food. I didn't want to hold up her line so I got my receipt and change. I stepped aside and walked towards the eating utensils reviewed my receipt with my husband. I went back to tell her of the error. She had left her register or even better- maybe a manager noticed her rudeness and took her away. I knew the 2 coconut waters were $13. But being charged $28 for a hot meal in total when I had a small salad & small Mac/ch, ridiculous! She even saw the dressing and lettuce because I couldn't get the top closed securely. This is a lesson well learned! I'm not going to stop visiting this thriving shopping area not Whole Foods but I definitely will not go in the checkout line of this cashier. If the store did an audit of each cashier of May 25 between 11:30a and 2:00 pmand check for a charge for the aforementioned, they'll definitely pinpoint the clerk. I also got $40 cash back when I checked out. I can't write a description because it'll get flagged like the original post was. I had to delete the description of the employee. My rating would otherwise be a 5 but for her attitude, incompetence and lack of integrity. Everyone else and the whole vibe is awesome.

Overall? Don't listen to the haters. This place is great. Yes, the prices are aggressive, but…read morehonestly, it's worth experiencing at least once. Go when they open, grab the bacon, order the Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie, sit outside, and lean into the absurdly California lineup of flavors and ingredients. Everything feels polished, fresh, and a little excessive in a way that somehow works. It's the kind of place that knows exactly what it is and commits fully Parking? Lot. Easy if you go early My top items: Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie (5/5): Almond milk, strawberries, banana, avocado, dates, maple syrup, collagen peptides, sea moss gel, and coconut cream sounds like something a wellness influencer invented during a spiritual awakening, but somehow it absolutely works. Yeah, twenty dollars for a smoothie is borderline criminal, but this thing tasted incredible. Creamy, rich, naturally sweet, and weirdly luxurious without feeling heavy Beeler's Hickory Smoked Bacon (5/5): Wow. Easily some of the best bacon I've had in a long time. Perfect balance of smoke, salt, sweetness, and fat with edges that crisped up just enough without drying out the center. You could actually taste the quality of the pork instead of just generic salt and smoke. Simple, dialed in, ridiculously satisfying

We went during lunch time so I'm aware that was part of the parking lot fullness, but the staff had this almost apathetic attitude. I saw a piece of pizza I hadn't seen and wanted to try. A couple employees were having a convo at the counter. I just waited to see how long they were going to stand there. Longer than you'd expect. I mentioned Milo earlier. Rockstar in the cafe, gave us samples, answered questions about things I didn't see. I was told to try the battered portobellos. I guess they didn't have them that day but I appreciated that Milo checked. That was the most pleasant experience and Milo's customer service was aligned with what I've come to expect. Checkout was lacklustre. This is the first store I've been at that had a conveyor belt. I went through twice. The first person seemed like he didn't want to be there. The second I asked about the new membership tiers and she wasn't sure then she was surprised at my level. I got clarification around the program from someone at my store, and she showed me where vip line is. It just wasn't a vibe I've been used to over any of the stores I've been to. Maybe it's calabasas, idk. I can say I went. 8 down, 3 to go. Ya, Erewhon is probably my personality atp. Ah well, there's worse things!

My boyfriend and I have been coming to Malibu Seafood for the past year, and we are absolutely in…read morelove with this place. It's easily one of our favorite spots in Malibu. Yes, the line can be long, but there's a reason for that--this place is phenomenal. Between the incredible food, friendly staff, and stunning location, it's worth every minute of the wait. On our most recent visit, we ordered a 16-ounce clam chowder (in a bowl, not a bread bowl), a side of seaweed salad, a side of imitation crab salad, and the fried fish and fries. Not only was everything delicious, but we were honestly shocked that all of that food came out to around $50. The portions are generous, the quality is outstanding, and the value is hard to beat, especially in Malibu. One thing that always stands out is the hospitality. Everyone working here seems genuinely happy to be there. Every visit, we're greeted by smiling faces and great service. You can tell this place is run by people who care about what they do. Over the past year, we've tried quite a few items on the menu, and I can honestly say we've never had a bad meal. It's hard to pick a favorite because everything is consistently excellent. The outdoor seating area overlooking the water makes the experience even better. Sitting outside with fresh seafood, ocean views, and the Malibu breeze is pretty hard to top. If you're in Malibu and looking for a great place to eat, do not pass this spot by. You won't regret it. Malibu Seafood is one of those rare places that gets everything right, and we look forward to every visit.

We've tried the grilled salmon in the past- and it's nicely cooked and tasty - but the star of the show is their fried offerings. What could be better than a crisply fried piece of cod with delicious fries overlooking the ocean? They do a better job frying fish than much more expensive places (looking at you Santa Monica seafood restaurant). The coleslaw is always fresh, and we also love the creamy chowder, chock full of clam bits. My one note is that they do not season their food so you need to add salt and pepper to everything. The coleslaw benefits from salt and a squeeze of lemon or a few drops of the malt vinegar on the table (also good with the fries of course). I'm not sure why they don't season their fish or batter - but maybe they figure it's best to keep it unsalted and people can add seasoning? There is also hot sauce on the table which adds the perfect zing to the chowder. The people who run the place are friendly and the place is especially popular on weekends. I'd recommend coming midweek either before or after peak lunch hours. Highly recommend.

The singular employee said (from the back) that he was on lunch break and directed me to request help at the front of the store. I did, and the manager was running around, trying to be everything to everyone. Corporate MUST adequately staff their stores or risk losing customers permanently. Once I move back, I will continue to avoid this store, as I did before the fires. P.S. Why is joining their club not enough to obtain advertised sale prices? Now, I must also download a freaking app?! What's next, pass a quiz to obtain discounts? I'm old enough to remember when service meant something.

Glancing down the menu, the Portofino Sando caught my eye (grilled chicken breast, pesto sauce, Swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato on toasted ciabatta bread). All "yum words" in John world...and boy, it hit the spot. Fresh, warm, toasty, clean, crispy... more yum words. It came with a basic side salad, just lettuce and carrot shavings, but it worked, especially with the ginger dressing. Very good size too: half now, half later as "lefties" and 1/2 the Cal's are my jam. I'm typically a full-flavor, spice-forward guy, but this hit the spot. If they had sun-dried tomatoes and I'd added bacon... 10/10. Without, still a solid 8.5! Throw in a pickle slice? 9.0. All good though, I'll be back. Cool little shopping center too. I'll have to bring my wife next time but avoid the "cute" store shopping if I want to stay on budget. LOL p.s. yes I only ate 1/2 the sando but Truth be told (TBT) I scarfed the entire cookie which was VG!
