In Short – Patrons may not be able to see the ocean from the sunny yellow dining room, but what this neighborhood eatery lacks in view, it makes up for in ambiance. Three seating areas--the main fireplace-centered dining room; a bar with stained-glass windows, wall sconces and high, two-top tables; and a covered patio with exposed brick walls and mosaic-tiled floor--all have Mediterranean-Spanish accents and lots of light. The menu also features Mediterranean accents, with produce grown in the restaurant's own garden. Highlights include appetizers such as roasted vegetable salad with…

Perfect Malibu Ambience with Organic, Local Food

Terra is a great find for a wonderful, intimate dinner in Malibu. My friends and I have gone into Terra on a few nights for their incredible beet salad with duck confit. Other great menu items include traditional oysters on the half shell and an outstanding filet mignon. The rest of the menu looked spectacular but I can only write about what my friends and I have enjoyed (yum!).
The dining room at Terra has recently been decorated with gorgeous paintings and little nuances that have made the room more inviting and comfortable while the food remains top notch – THIS IS WHAT MALIBU IS ALL ABOUT!
I would and have recommended Terra to my friends (and even strangers on the street). I think Terra is worth the drive for an intimate dinner. The staff has always been accommodating, the food is consistently delicious and well-plated while the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Two big thumbs up!
- Pros: consistent high quality food & service
- Cons: it can be hard to make a same day res

Terra never disappoints! They have house special menu items, and seasonal ones which sometimes feature home-grown produce and microgreens. How cool is that?? Speaking of cool, the place is owned by a couple, one in the kitchen and one among the diners; I have seen them every time I've been there, and really respect involved owners. The dining room feels like a living room and the patio and bar are casual and cool. The food is awesome, and Drew makes a mean cocktail. It's relaxed enough for a dinner with your parents, and versatile enough for a romantic five-course date.
- Pros: delicious food, friendly, knowledgeable staff, easy self-parking
- Cons: I can't choose what order because it's all so good!
