Love their French fries and clams! The view is amazing, the only thing I don't like this place is the restroom is like a public restroom on the beach compared to the entire restaurant atmosphere and price. read more

What a beautiful place to have lunch and dinner. We celebrated my daughter's birthday here few days ago and had a great time. Customer service was amazing. There were ten of us and everything went so smooth. Usually for large parties the service is not that good. Location is right by the beach. There is valet parking and some street parking. You can take a nice walk by the beach before or after eating here. The appetizers we got were delicious. Guac and chips was perfect. The calamari also was a hit by everyone. We got a pitcher of sangria which tasted good. The main dishes were ok. Probably the best dish was the seafood linguini. The chicken sandwich bread was delicious but there was barely any chicken in it. The flavors were good but I wish the chicken piece was a bit bigger. Same for the fish sandwich. Huge brioche bread and barely tastes the fish. ( this sandwich will taste better in the other bread that was used for the chicken sandwich) ... sweet potato fries was awesome. Overall a great place to eat. The sunset from the outdoor patio was breathtaking. I'll come here again just for that ... so beautiful. And let's not forget the valet guy .... What a service ... wow .... Keep up the great energy . read more

I truly can't rave enough about how much u love this restaurant. The name is so fitting and a perfect place to watch a beautiful Californian sunset. The food was amazing! I highly recommend the salmon on the menu packed with flavor and the potatoes were so creamy. The service was great too, our server gave us the rundown of the menu and we picked accordingly. I will have to come back in the near future. read more

I so wanted to make this a five star review, and I usually leave very positive reviews for restaurants, but I was visibly upset during my visit. There were so many incredible aspects, but one very distracting one. To begin, the valet was amazing. At the end, we wanted to walk across the street to take a look at it really cool Sandcastle and they told us to take our time and they had our car waiting for us ready to go. Very friendly, very great. The hosts were wonderful. We originally had a seat that had absolutely no view and we requested to wait for one and they moved as fast as possible and accommodated us with a smile. They were on their game 110%. Once we got to our seat, truthfully, this is where things started to fall apart. No one came to see us for over 10 minutes. The place was pretty busy, so I was pretty understanding, but this was just the beginning. Our server finally came to us, and I won't name names, But she kept checking on the table next to us and we were not a priority. I saw her twice within an hour span. Additionally, it took over 40 minutes for our food to arrive, and parts of my food was cold. Once we finished and our plates were picked up by a great bus boy, we waited another 15 minutes until our server finally arrived and brought us the check, which we didn't ask for. We wanted to order dessert... And it just felt really insensitive like she was done and trying to rush us out. After dessert, I just handed her my card without waiting for the bill because I didn't feel like waiting another 30 minutes for the check. Ambience was great and minus the complete lack of service, it was overall a nice spot. If the service improves, I'd be back, but otherwise, I won't. read more

The restaurant itself was fine, but the valet parking experience was honestly terrible and completely changed the tone of the night. The moment we arrived, one of the valet attendants aggressively tried to open the door of my Tesla while my younger sister was inside. He startled her badly, and she looked at him uncomfortable and clearly upset. Instead of reacting professionally, he immediately started yelling passive-aggressive comments at her such as "you're at a good age," "enjoy your food," "have a good one," and other strange remarks. It was extremely uncomfortable to hear and even worse for my little sister to receive directly. Later, when I went back to the car to grab my jacket, we saw other valet attendants aggressively accelerating and yelling for fun while parking another customer's Jeep. Honestly, it felt immature, disrespectful, and completely inappropriate considering these are customers' vehicles. And to make the experience worse, the same valet attendant from the beginning later came to charge $10 for valet parking -- which I originally thought was included since we ate at the restaurant. Then he started creating a strange story saying the valet was "actually $60," but that "$10 was fine," telling me "not to worry" and asking how much I wanted to pay. After the entire interaction, paying even $10 for that experience honestly felt like a robbery. The restaurant itself was okay, but the valet parking staff was extremely unpleasant, unprofessional, and uncomfortable to deal with. I would absolutely avoid using the valet service here again. read more

It was as good as always but better Lol because this time this past weekend Saturday there was no wait and table were available like no other. The calm before the storm because I'm sure Sunday would be bananas. Ambiance was very soothing and calm I think I can add this to one of my favorite brash side places. We got the ceaser salad fries , fish sandwich and burger with fries. Parking is very crazy not this past Saturday , it was great no long lines and easy. Until next time guys , see you later. read more

My favorite beach view spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can be casual in the sand, casual but clean feet on the side cement patio, or tropical coastal trendy inside... and all areas per friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good drinks and select but excellent menu.

Food: Delicious and came out quick. Linguini Clams was delicious, wish there was more clams, comes with parmesan that they grate at the table which was a nice touch Service: Horrible. We sat at the bar/lounge (a first come first served area) and the host walked us to our seat and provided us menus, but a server did not come to check in on us/take our order until 10-15 minutes later (not exaggerating). The whole time, we didn't have napkins or tableware, even after when the food came out. Manager or Head of Staff seemed to be busy watching TV Ambience: Beautiful ocean view! Sunset was gorgeous read more

Amazing!! Gabriela was our server and she was very sweet and attentive. I tried the chicken sandwich this time and that was deliciousss. The bread was so crispy and the sauce in the sandwich with the lettuce tomato, ahh heart eyes. The chicken itself was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The sandwich comes with a side salad but I asked if we could sub it for fries and they happily did so. We also got the allegria salad and that was sooo flavorful! I got their espresso martini and loved it. For dessert we got the affogato and even though it's so simple, it was so good! They bring you a tiny mug of freshly made espresso and vanilla ice cream in a large cup so you can pour the espresso in as you please, I loved that. Ty again for a wonderful experience!! read more

We booked in for a special 4th of July birthday, party of 5. The calamari and Wagu meatballs was delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes so we could enjoy a selection. The Wagu burger, excellent, tasty, cooked perfectly med rare. The seafood linguine was tasty but had a small rock in it! The sea bass was covered in a tomato sauce w olives. Not the flaky fish we're used to w sea bass.... My med rare flank steak w chimichurri sauce came out 30 minutes after my table finished and their plates cleared. Our server stated it was well done so they refired it. When it finally arrived, it was well done! No pink to be seen!!! At this point the server Scott F offered us a complimentary dessert for the table. I suggested he remove my meal from the bill which he did. We ordered desserts w 3 coffees, desserts arrived, no coffees! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great views, extremely personable Valet service but not sure we will return unless we want burgers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A table touch by the manager was warranted but didn't happen.... read more

The food was REALLY GOOD!! The table next to us ordered the signature Sunset Colada which looked like a dessert in itself!! I rarely drink anymore but I wish I could've just tried a sip of one. It looked delicious. My fish tacos were tasty and I loved the grilled fish and that it wasn't fried. My wife's Waygu burger was also wonderful. Fries were perfect too. The only issue was service was a bit slow and we didn't get napkins so when my wife went up to the hostess table which was right by our table to ask "Are there any napkins up here" the hostess said "no" and went back to talking to a coworker. She may have told our server because he soon passed by with them but her response to us left us a bit put out. Also parking lot is valet $10 and then lots of street parking down the street along the beach if you don't want to valet. read more

dined 5/11 (Mother's Day) I understand that it's busy on Mother's Day, but when 4 other parties bigger than ours get seated and cleared after we ORDER? That's actually insane. I was with my friend and we got our drinks and appetizers out pretty quick. I enjoyed the brussel sprouts and arancini (vegetarian). They came out warm and delicious. What wasn't great was waiting 1+ for our main entree. Within this time, I am witnessing our server sit, wait, and clear other tables. When our food comes out, part of it is cold. The staff was not very sympathetic and it took multiple times asking to speak to a manager. After talking to him a couple of times, he removed the two entrees from our check. The ambiance is nice, its a little loud inside but the view of the ocean is beautiful - that's its' saving grace. I'd love to give this place another try but for the price point, I really don't want to risk another bad experience. read more

The Sunset Restaurant - My absolute favorite. This is why we travel from Oregon to Malibu for the Tres Leche at the Sunset! So very Yummy - New American Near Me - Malibu, California

Such a cute restaurant on the roadside opposite the beach- perfect views of sunset over the water. Friendly service- helped us get a seat by the window so we could watch the sunset (necessary for a sunset lover like myself). Big spacious interior with plenty of seating and lots of windows for viewing the beach. Stunning views if you can catch the sunset with your meal. For food we shared: Clam Chowder, Hamachi sashimi, Linguini clams and fish tacos. The clam chowder was really good- full of flavor, creamy and lots of clam bits in it. The sashimi was a little bland and very thinly sliced- could have skipped on this. Linguini clams were great, nice flavor to the pasta and plenty of clams (our love of clams has no bounds) and the fish tacos were a good size- nice and saucy with a good crispy fish, the shell could have used a little toasting but overall pretty good. We were definitely pretty full after all of this. Nice relaxed environment- it wasnt too busy for a saturday so we took our time to enjoy the views as we ate our dinner- didn't feel rushed which was perfect for our evening. read more

Stopped here after hiking for water but stumbled onto happy hour! This is a cute beachy themed restaurant that has a special happy hour area over their restaurant area. I loved sitting by the window looking at the ocean. The waiters were friendly and attentive and the drinks came out fast & delicious. I ordered a Paloma and it was very yummy. Also had tons of water which was great. read more

Great bungalow style restaurant with great beachy decor and dreamy sunset views on a good day. Their staff is always helpful and warm. We usually make reservations just in case their tables fill up although there is a lot of availability inside and outside. The menu has a great range of classic American and more special seafood options. Their poke, halibut and seafood appetizers are worth it!! The spot puts in great effort in their plate presentation and flavor their food pretty well. On my last visit i switched it up and tried their waygu burger and truffle fries. Delicious. They have a great happy hour deal for their well crafted cocktails. Honestly 2 drinks here will have me feeling a solid buzz. Worth it!! Price here is a bit higher, but given the views, ambiance, and ingredients i think it makes sense for a good value. My girl and I are slowly becoming regulars. read more

I had the best time there. My plan was to get a seat by the window but we had to much fun talking to Elaine the bartender and the other regular Monday night crew that we stayed there and closed the restaurant. Anree took exceptional care of us even though the restaurant was packed. He is quite charming! Of course the sunset was amazing. More like breathtaking. But the good stole the show. We ordered the octopus which was the best I've ever had. Very tender and flavorful. Then the calamari. But my favorite was the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce with fries. OMG! It was tender and delicious. I highly recommend it. Especially since most high end restaurants are closed on Mondays. The only negative is the traffic is horrific. You can plan on it taking 45 minutes to an hour on PCH from Santa Monica. However I think it is worth it. read more

Made a reservation for here on a Friday at 6 pm to celebrate a friend's promotion. It was chilly and windy outside so we were sat inside by the windows. It's actually a huge restaurant, larger than what I expected from the outside. The inside is very beach themed, with wooden features and cabana-style architecture and decor. It's a very cute restaurant that is good for both groups and a date. They do have valet parking but we were able to park on the side of the street not too far away. I have actually come to Point Dume many times and this street can be very packed when there's nice weather so plan accordingly. I decided to get the Pink Elephant drink, my boyfriend got the Mangolicious, and my friend got the Paloma Sunset. All drinks were strong but delicious. The Pink Elephant was the sweetest and personally my favorite. We weren't extremely hungry so my friends just got the clam chowder and a Caesar's salad while my boyfriend and I got the fritto misto (part of the specials) and the spicy ahi tuna tartare. The ahi tuna was delicious. I wish it came with more of the fried wonton crisps but all the ingredients were fresh and excellent. The fritto misto was delicious as well, lots of large shrimp and calamari but the thinly sliced zucchini was overcooked and tasted slightly bitter. I still ate it all. The lemon came in a cute little net to catch seeds and other lemon solids. For dessert the four of shared the pistachio tres leches and the tiramisu. Both were so good and bigger portions than expected! The tiramisu was sweeter and had 2 small crunchy wafers while the tres leches had lots of pistachio sprinkled on top. Both were soft and had great flavor. Would get either again. Overall an excellent experience and went above expectations for a restaurant with such a great location. Prices for drinks and dessert were lower than expected while food prices were reasonable. Staff was friendly and quick the entire time and the ambiance is perfect for a casual/fancier beach meal. Will definitely come again! read more

I would give zero stars if I could! My husband is celebrating his 60th birthday and we were treated very poorly. The waitress basically ignored us and she left our food in the back so long it was cold. We are 4 well educated and prosperous people, and we were treated less than. I'm posting this review from my table. I put on the reservation it was for my husband's birthday and when we arrived. However it was never acknowledged. They acted as if black people are an annoyance. I will NEVER come back. If you are African American this is NOT the restaurant for you! read more

We had great time and great food until we didn't and saw the cops and ended staying 2 days in the hospital getting two broken ribs and a fractured nose. Bartenders and their staff are so polite and had great customer service. Please beware of that black manager guy. He's going to call the cops for no reason if you raise your voice or laugh too much or joking and talking to other people .... I don't remember my whole story for that night but I saw the sheriff department behind us while my Girlfriend was trying to find us a Lyft. We Lyfted from 1.5hrs away to see this place because we saw the owners video. I grew up in Europe and have visited 20 countries and this place reminded me a lot Europe . It was so disappointing for $200 lunch, came 2hrs later after hiking point Dume, then spent more than $400 for dinner. My birthday was ruined here. read more

Questionable seafood, but amazing views, drinks and service made up for all of it! As you can guess from the name, this is an incredible place to watch the sunset. It's just steps away from the beach and there are big panoramic windows that face the ocean. The perfect spot to grab a bite and a drink during happy hour! Unfortunately the food was not great. We ordered fish tacos that were covered in fish skin. This was really unappetizing, and I'd definitely avoid again at all costs. I hate sending food back, so luckily our server was super sweet and apologetic. We tried the calamari instead, but this was also just okay. Super rubery and not the freshest tasting. Lackluster food aside, this is a must visit for oceanfront drinks in Malibu during the golden hour. read more

A rude mean black man claiming that "his" restaurant cannot accommodate 6 people sitting by the window greeted us (see in the past we have been accommodated). He ruined the whole brunch experience for my guests visiting from Canada. He is not only rude but treats people with disrespect and a demeaning attitude .

Came here for a team event and loved it! Even though we were unlucky with the weather and got caught in a downpour, the food more than made up for it. We ordered calamari, raw seafood platters and I got the seafood linguine for my entree. Everything was super tasty and well cooked! One minor nit with the calamari is that the breading on the outside didn't seem that well attached, it fell off very easily and you had to be pretty careful with eating it lest it fall onto the table (and go to waste). Seafood linguine was an incredibly generous portion and I left feeling stuffed. Perfectly cooked seafood and noodles; the sauce was a little bit on the sweeter side due to them using sweeter tomatoes. I like my tomatoes and my tomato sauce a little more tangy but not a huge deal overall. Spice level was just right on the linguine and I could taste the red pepper flakes. The virgin Pina Colada was also very well made and easy to drink! read more
