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.

Kat Levy

Food is fine, a little expensive but the views were absolutely breathtaking! Sit outside on the deck for the best view & breeze. If you're looking for a big view w a little dinner this is the spot!

Chad

One of my favorite seafood places! Come on a regular day, avoid holidays. I've come here for Valentine's every year for 15 years. Was great in beginning, sizzler-esque this year. Great else wise.

RC

The fish and chips , actually just the fish , was absolutely the best I've ever had but it's also the most expensive . You have to pay for that million dollar view .

Ashley Walsh

Amazing with food allergies!!! Chef Jason Hanin came to talk to me about my allergies. The meal was absolutely amazing! I have never experienced that service at any other restaurant in the world!!!

Larisa Grollemond

The hostess service can be spotty, but the food is good and you can't beat the views !

Derek Fromson

Food is quite good here; much improved over past. Several standouts include: Calamari appetizer , seafood risotto , key lime pie , and don't forget to ask for the free sourdough ! Kids menu is good too.

Busy restaurant . Enjoy the sunset . One of the best seafood restaurants in the area! 8.5/10

C. P. Bisgaard

As everyone else has said, great view and decent food. The lobster roll was the highlight and delicious. Sat adjacent to Rob Weinstein ... dude is a LOUD talker.

Samantha Lynn Rogoff

Start with the clams . They do an awesome white white, garlic , tomato ,and basil sauce . And they have great coffee . Make sure you take a walk on the beach after to digest and chase birds. :)

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 .

M. Taylor Butler

Let them know if you have a birthday to celebrate. They give you a very large slaice of chocolate cake with chocolate sauce for free. Delicious!

Sabina B.

Start with the seafood ceviche no matter what. Pro tip: come during happy hour and catch the sunset

Meg Farmer

Dinner with a view . Seafood is the highlight, obvi. Desserts are huge- share with 4 or more.

Maya Conn

Fresh, wild seafood paired with local beer .

Angela Harris

All about the seafood . Crab , shrimp , catfish . Will cost some $$$. Real good food and the best part us you are on the beach .

Offbeat L.A.

Originally opened in Santa Monica Canyon in 1972 as Gladstone's 4 Fish . Moved to its current location in 1981.

The pesto shrimp flatbread is to die for, top it off w the Sunset Beach Tea ! Delish!

Sarah Yalda

Food is delicious! Ask for DJ . Super hot with luscious hair. He's a sorta clumsy but yummy;)

Audra Crossley

Bloody Mary's are the best

Tom Burton

Awesome views , excellent service, so-so (to be kind) food.

Robby Marshall

Ask the waiter what type of fish is served with the chips , and see if he knows. I'm 0 for 2.

Ashley Brehmer

Awesome service and even better food. Ask for Jamie, he's got an English accent. Really good waiter .

Can Kagitcibasi

Excellent for amazing seafood and sunset

Katie

Amazing view for a Sunday brunch

Rhea Bea

Order the Tuna ! It will change your life! Patrick is the best waiter !

Jack Kuyper

Decent food, everyone says it's awful which is a fallacy, it's good, views fantastic, foods overprices, come for the view not for the food

R Williams

Reservations are a good idea. Expect slow service and pricey food as it's a touristy place. Comfortable though and kid friendly .

Andrew

Great spot for seafood , sun, cocktails and rubbing elbows with celebrities...

Angela Cheeseboro

They have live music and $4 mimosas on Sunday's!

Wendy A

Can't go wrong with the chowder and macadamia rock shrimp ...

Margaritas taste even better at sunset .

Katie

Steamed clams are back in season!

Joe Rockhill

Try to eat outside but even inside you have a beautiful view of the pacific!

David Schwartz

Wonderful view . Plus, they light up the beach at night.

Allegra Wilson

Ask for your leftovers to be wrapped up. They wrap them in tin foil shaped like sea animals!

adrian nolasco

Bit pricey , the valet your car and give you a free photo when you first get there. Lets see how the food is.

Brandon H

Come for the bread and view .

Michelle S

Beautiful view on the patio , good service , average food. Conch chowder was just ok and rest of party agreed food was just decent. Valet parking for $7.

Roma Korshunov

Amazing tomato soup !

Melody Faith Clark

Great view plan a party here they have a private beach

David Skinner

Steak taco , views

Lynn Powers

Nothing like sitting on the ocean and eating yummy seafood !

Marsha Naify

Lost a little bit of the luster. Great lobster .

Sierra Martin Persi

Don't order the crab roll . It's canned, and super salty. Stick with a bowl of soup , some bread and a beer and you won't leave furious.

Stu Haze

Outstanding clam chowder ! Also enjoyed a couple mugs of hot coffee with kaluha .....
