    Made reservations here for my fiancés birthday and I’m so happy I did. Not even because the food was good, but because of how beautiful the aesthetics and ambience was. It was an amazing romantic experience with my other half next to the water

    Location and views are amazing, nice to be oceanside. The restaurant is very well decorated, ambianceis nice. Overall service was lacking, surprising for a "high-end popular restaurant". Food was lacking in presentation and flavor. We were given dishes that looked unfinished. We waited over 45 mins for our main dishes of 2 veggies plates and a fish plate. The dessert we ordered, bento box lava cake, arrived plain with a green scoop of ice cream in the box. The cake looked sad and was dry tasting with no compote or sauce. The staff's smiles were disingenuous. They were not personable or welcoming at all. The bathroom is very small with only 3 stalls, so it was a good thing groups of 3 ladies would go into one stall at a time. There are way better restaurants for value and flavor. This spot is definitely overhyped.

    I had high expectations when I reserved a table at Nobu Malibu, especially since I asked for a table with a nice ocean view to celebrate my friend’s birthday. I even mentioned the special occasion in advance. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the table we were given didn’t meet our expectations, and despite politely asking the hostess for a better one, we were told there was nothing they could do. We ended up staying for about 30 minutes before deciding to leave. My friend’s mood—and her birthday—were ruined. The sushi was mediocre at best, and no one even said goodbye or acknowledged us as we left. Very disappointing experience. We won’t be coming back.

    As fabulous as ever after the fires, like a Phoenix!! Food, service and vibe spot on, host was particularly hospitable. Essentially a perfect meal, which we expect after so many visits.
