- AAndreaLos Angeles •20 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoIt’s winter, and we had a table by the window. Watched sunset and the beautiful colors in the sky and in the waves. And the sound of the waves added another dimension.  This kind of atmosphere and scenery is rare, and that’s why we would come back. Whereas the food? It’s OK. To us it seemed overpriced for the quality of cooking. For example I had a filet mignon, which was more medium done than medium-rare, not much flavor in the sauce, the mashed potato rather bland. The quality of the meat seemed excellent, very tender, but also that’s spinach was boring and a bit of overcooked. So I think in summary, if you want to come for an atmospheric romantic night and enjoy the scenery, this is the perfect place . The service was wonderful.More infoMoonshadowsPrice: Expensive• American• Malibu•4.6

- BBillie LLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025The Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is definitely worth a visit! Great variety of food choices - some interesting new takes on the good old American favorites. EXCEPTIONAL cocktails - super fun & exotic choices! Sadly no room for dessert - which looked mouthwatering. If I lived closer I'd be back again soon just for that. The outdoor 'beach' seating is spacious & fun; there is a covered patio area - also with a sandy bottom... but adds to the experience. Inside has regular banquet/table seating options. Definitely MAKE A RESERVATION! When you do you can check-in at a separate kiosk - & jump to the head of the always long line of hopefuls. Go & enjoy a fun, family meal - while the kid play on the beach.More infoParadise Cove Beach CafePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Malibu•4.5
- AAliceLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 27, 2024Delicious food! The lobster roll and omelets had the freshest lobster. My daughter loved the King Crab legs. The fries were yum. Service was lovely and of course - the view next to the window was stunning. We even saw dolphins! I will go back!More infoCarbon Beach Club Restaurant (The Dining Room) @ Malibu Beach InnPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Malibu•4.7
