    Our family Christmas plans changed last minute and we were looking for a place to get a Christmas Day reservation. We had the Prix Fixe Brunch Menu and it was spectacular. Everything from the bisque to the tuna tartar and crab cake appetizers to the filet and salmon entrees was wonderful. The view was, as expected, a fabulous ocean view, and our server, Wilson, was impeccable and made our experience even better. We cannot wait to go back again.

    We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.

    Iconic restaurant with beautiful grand room. Prime rib and all the sides were delicious. At the beginning of the meal, Lawrys offers Warm sourdough bread and butter.The overall ambiance is elegant. I do miss the old/iconic uniform that the servers (waitresses) used to wear. Now, the servers wear a simpler uniform which pales in comparison to the old one.

    Devyn was extremely hospitable and welcomed my family with holiday cheer! We were seated in a beautiful location to watch the waves crash the rocks, and had immediate assistance when we asked to turn on the outdoor heaters. But, most importantly, service was timely and delicious and our experience was outstanding! This was our 1st time at Moonshadows as we celebrated our holiday family lunch!!! This will now become an annual family tradition, and anytime in the Malibu area, would love to dine here at Moonshadows! Thanks a ton for the experience!
