Christopher Ma: Great place for Sunday brunch, friendly bartender and staff. Great breakfast potatoes
Bravo: This great old place has tons of character and great dirty martinis. We always meet friends here for a bite! Totally a neighborhood hang. -Susan Feniger, Top Chef
Sam Licker: Crispy crab cake appetizer and the rigatoni & meatball; the pasta was cooked perfectly! If you’re adventurous, have the bartender make you a “bartender’s choice”. Great brunch as well!

Seafood Restaurant · 87 tips and reviews
Maggie Tyson: We had ordered oysters, clam chowder, tuna tartare, grilled swordfish, blackened snapper & mac & cheese with bacon. One of the best meals I've ever had with incredible service. Angel is an angel.
People: Seafood is the true star at the Malibu institution along the Pacific Coast Highway, which draws celebs like Pink and Ryan Seacrest, who drop in for chowder or lobster – and Pacific Ocean views.
Allegra Wilson: Ask for your leftovers to be wrapped up. They wrap them in tin foil shaped like sea animals!
