What People Are Saying About Sunset Restaurant & Beach

Featured Review

Katie Heffernan

In Short – Nestled into a Zuma Beach cliff, the former Gray Whale space boasts buttercup walls and blue-and-white striped accents. Still laidback, this romantic dinner destination doubles as an easy stop for sandy sunbathers. Large windows on both stories--bar below, dining above--display sunset splendor. Asian-influenced Californian fare starts with dishes like black mussels in Thai green curry. Entrees include maple-glazed pork, braised lamb with tomato concasse and chicken stir-fry. –

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
The restaurant actually has two dining rooms-- the one in the back has no ocean view. Request the front room when reserving.

One of my favorites.

by Poka

The Sunset Restaurant, is a great pace. The entire menu is delicious. Best time to start your partying there is, right before the sun sets. Enjoy the sunset. Enjoy a great diner. Have some great alcoholic beverages (Double Black Russians). Go outside to the beach and smoke a joint and have a walk. Then go back in the restaurant and have some more Double Black Russians by the bar.

This place is also a big magnet of movie stars. Don't drive home drunk! The CHP is broke and they need your money. Be safe.

great atmosphere

by casualcat

this place has such a great atmosphere, we sat at a table with nice big comfy chairs and enjoyed our meal and wine, and you literally get to watch the sun set out of the windows cause your right across from the beach. the atmosphere can be fun and flirty to romantic, and you can even rent this place out!

Great place to meet cool people

by roxysurf

As a Malibu local, I am stoked to have a place like The Sunset so nearby. It always has a great vibe and there is always something going on. I'm usually in the bar area with the cozy low sofas, but went for dinner upstairs and was blown away by the food and friendly service. The Mussels were the best I ever had with chorizo! and spicy/smoky tomato broth...yum. My server was Kirstan? and I would request her again.

  • Pros: Great drinks, amazing view and setting, Great for Foodies
