In Short – This secluded spot is the quintessential beach bar and restaurant. Sarong-wearing locals drink Coronas from icy buckets two feet from the water, while barefoot diners snag seats in the sand after ordering food and drinks. Large groups and families wait for tables overlooking the Pacific at the full-service restaurant inside. Sesame-encrusted ahi tuna steak sandwich is a lunch favorite, while seafood dinners include iced platters filled with poached shrimp, shucked oysters and king crab legs.

A View But No Frills. AVOID!
by tvfoodie24 at Citysearch
My wife and I went to this restaurant for breakfast. We kind of ran into while we were in Malibu. As we were driving down to the restaurant we thought this was going to be a good choice for breakfast. It's right on the beach and it has a nice beach feel within the restaurant. After that everything just went downhill from there. The service is terrible and their attitude is as if they don't want to be there. We were ignored for about 15 minutes before we got our order taken. I did order orange juice and was told they didn't have any OJ. NO OJ? During breakfast? Sad and lame. As we left, I saw them making orange juice which means they had it but our server was too lazy to say, we don't have any at the moment because we are making it, do you mind waiting? Within the almost 1 hour and 15 minutes there, I only was served one cup of coffee. Never asked while eating or any other time during the meal. We weren't even asked how our food was or if we needed anything else. It's funny how while I am writing this, I am hating the restaurant more and more. I think the waitstaff is so unhappy because they have to work at this place. My advice. Avoid at all costs. It's service with a frown....Oh and the food wasn't great either. Do yourself a favor. Cook your own food at home. It will be better and you'll be much more happy.
- Pros: On the beach, beachy feel.
- Cons: Service, Service, and service....And food.

Not worth the view!!

Pay to park regardless of the style in which you choose to stay. Poor staff with unpleasant attitudes. Meals were very greasy and over priced. Nothing tasted very fresh considering the hype that they establish in the menu. Lastly, sick all night with stomach cramps due to fish and chips and tacos. You can have it!
- Pros: Nice View
- Cons: Everything else

DON'T EVER THINK ABOUT GOING HERE
by Angie C at Citysearch
Food was awful and the waiter was rude and charged extra food item on menu. When confronted with the manager, the manager said it was a mistake and did not do anything. After reading other reviews, I believe now that the owner/manager push the waiters to add extra items on receipts for profit.
- Pros: None
- Cons: WORST EVERYTHING
