What a wonderful restaurant! Everything was top notch and delicious. It’s the little extras like a cup of coffee with a cookie and whipped cream! The portions are huge so my friend and I shared the breakfast platter and it was more than enough. We also got dessert, yes after breakfast, why not! Vacations are for relaxing and doing things out of routine right? The views are amazing and putting your feet in the sand while you eat is a bonus.

Beautiful restaurant by Malibu beach. Love the vibe there. Interesting choice of foods and drinks. The portions are really big, so two people can easily share one dish. The place is quite expensive - you pay for its gorgeous location and the food quantity. Even though this restaurant has lots of tables, if you want to sit on the sand, make sure to book your table in advance. They have lots of framed pictures on the wall about the history of the place - which tells you how old this place is. Do try the strawberry milkshake - it was delicious.

Very much enjoyed our experience. The place is beautiful and the bar area is very charming with historical pictures of famous people who have previously frequented this place. The outside beach dinning area is also very nice and is probably the most beautiful and scenic environment that I have ever had the pleasure to dine in. The food was good and the portions were very generous indeed. The servers were very attentive and professional. The prices are not at all unreasonable considering the location and setting. The server validates your parking ticket when you settle your bill for the food. The usual parking charge for Paradise Cove Beach is $45. The restaurant validation reduces this to $10. The parking ticket is good for 4hrs and it is a nice beach to visit in a spectacular cove setting. I guess there is two ways to look at it. Either you might consider that you are getting a $35 discount on your beach parking or alternatively you might consider that you had to pay an extra $10 charge for your meal. Your point of view will depend on whether you visit the cove and pier or not. All in all it was a great experience and I am glad that we visited.

This place was a big disappointment. My daughter was excited to show us this restaurant while we were in LA visiting her. The atmosphere is great and the drinks look amazing, but that’s about the extent of what is good. The food is not great. It is over priced for how mediocre it truly is. The drinks are watered down and just not good. We were sat at a table right next to the bar with a trash can overflowing and spilling on the ground. I couldn’t get over the smell of trash the wind would whip our way, so we asked to relocate to a different table. Once we were at our new table it took almost 20 minutes for our waiter to come over. The entire dinner was spent looking for our waiter. We finally started asking the other waiters for help. We ordered the Shrimp Paradise. For that price you would expect more. The dish is mainly a rice and corn mix with shrimp on top. I won’t visit this restaurant next trip. Too many wonderful options in the LA and Malibu area to waste a dinner here.

Did anyone else notice the added 20% service charge to their bill? We were not made aware of it and then tipped our server 20% which means he got a 40% tip. I am just wondering if any other patrons fell victim to this?

It's such a romantic and beautiful place where lots of couples and families come. Kids often have pet allergies and it's not right to impose my pets on others. So I don't bring my pets.
