    Great views of the beach, great service. Spicy margarita is good but it's very spicy. Seafood appetizer was delicious with tons of fresh seafood. The westward drink was gross.

    Forget Nobu and Dukes. Go HERE if you're ever in Malibu. Non pretentious, comfortable, right on the beach and great food! The seafood stew (cioppino) is fantastic!

    Amazing food! Perfect location. The lobster tacos are out of this world. Calamari is OK, nothing exceptional. Carrot Cake is nicely done, chunky pieces of carrot, more than in any I have tried before.

    Get the Strawberry basil-rita cocktail, the guacamole and chips and the affogato for dessert. I was not a fan of the lobster tacos, and the ahi tuna tartar was just mid.

    You can generally find parking down the road, then stroll along the beach to the restaurant before the sun sets. Grab a drink in one of the lounge chairs at the bar and enjoy the sunset.

    The food's a sad reminder that these guys are the only one in the area and, they can put in front of you anything they please, even dishes from yesterday - and they are so smiling about it!

    Why to get onto the beach when you can enjoy the breeze and view from inside the bar :), or go out for smoke and comeback.

    Great food, mimosa was good, but nothing special. Excellent view of the beach, ask for a table against the window otherwise there is nothing special about this place

    Place was disappointing. Great view, but besides that nothing great about it. Food was ok, but terrible service and the margaritas are tasteless.
