Dmitry LyubimovAugust 25, 2015Lobster and crab pasta are delicious! Also pork chops. And bottle of Merlot! What an amazing combination, enjoying a view! Plus a good service and very low prices! Enjoyed all the ways! 5+
Scott FarrSeptember 28, 2014Great food and drinks. The view is amazing. The Sea Bass was cooked perfectly. This will be a great place for a date night with my wife next time we're in town.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
__TR3VApril 5, 2013had crab cakes, salmon, and apple pie. All were just average. Go for the ambiance. The outdoor deck overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Reserve a cabana or just chill on their beds. Very sexy!
Caro SchieferApril 17, 2017Went there for Easter. Simply it is a great place. Very good and high quality food. Wine is relatively cheap. Try the rose. And of course the view is amazing.
Marina JamiesonMarch 9, 2015Exquisite view, wonderful for a special occasion with family, partner or friends... Got to sit right in front of the ocean

DJ AM MoJanuary 6, 2012Where brit brit and mel gibson get into trouble, this is also a really cute and fun spot when you don't feel like going out to Hollywood on Friday or Saturday nights.
JustinMay 11, 2014The Chilean Sea-Bass isn't always on the the menu, however if you ask your server they may just be able to make something happen! #sweetpotatosauce
PeteSeptember 9, 2013The deck is nice (and usually packed). Grab a seat on the rail behind the bar (outside)for a more intimate sea view.
MaryAnn BrownOctober 6, 2013This is my favorite lunch venue. Malibu is beautiful . Sitting by the window watching the surf is exquisite .
Sandro GrafSeptember 15, 2010We had lunch at the Moonshadow. The food was wonderful (go for the tuna tatar) and the staff, contrary to other comments, was very friendly and professional. We watched dolphins while eating!
Cheryl WoolseyFebruary 12, 2016The Burrata and Heirloom tomatoes are awesome, as is the Pumpkin tortellini with sage/butter sauce.
- sol parkerJanuary 4, 2013Sit outside if you can, tuna sashimi, oysters, miso black cod (amazing) and bouillabaisse all well worth trying....
