The Sunset Restaurant

"This is one of them place you go for the view not the food. The "Fish" sandwich was hardly that. It was more along the lines of an eggplant sandwich. The server/bartender was super sweet and kind. I felt bad be she was stretched so thin and really hustling, but couldn't keep up. The view is unmatched though."

"View was great, on the beach at sunset. Nice lounge area, though rather chilly with side doors to patio open and diners next to us opening and closing their windows. Service was good, no complaints, friendly. Food was so-so...and way too pricey as you might expect on the beach here in SoCal. They let me have the fish sandwich even though it was after 3pm. Disappointing. Brioche bun too dry and the fish was small, and onions tasteless. Picked at it but didn't finish. French fries were wonderful...large portions, hot, quick! This was our second time. We stopped in route back from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, but probably wouldn't make a point of going just for the restaurant."

"The Sunset is my favorite restaurant in the world. The vibe there is AMAZING I love how casual and kind of hidden it is, I love how we can dine with toes in the sand, LOVE the food (personal favorite is the linguine clams), the servers are super fun, and I've seen dolphins, whales, and a lot of surf when I go which just adds on to the awesome experience. Amazing place to go, great for a romantic dinner or a night out with friend. Oh and their happy hour is THE BEST in Malibu."

"Fantastic food, reasonable prices and fabulous service. When making reservations, I hade noted that it was for a birthday. After the dinner, the staff surprised us with a birthday desert with candles. 1st time there and definitely will be going back. The calamari and seafood linguini was the best. We’ll worth it… be sure to reserve table 30 min before sunset. This will give you time to take pictures during your appetizer and drink. After dinner you may be feeling too bloated. Four of us ordered 4 appetizers, 2 drinks and 4 entrees for approx 300 including tip. Very reasonable for quality and ambiance."

"For first timers, don't expect too much. It's a small place. Surrounding is very nice. Expect an ambience that makes u feel like you're in a garden. Hardly any view of the ocean. I think you can explore this place in less than an hour unless you spend time checking out the art work. If you've never been, definitely check it out. If you don't want to spend a lot, don't eat there. Our meal consisted of a salad, burger and hummus. I got a coke and a beer. It costs us about $100. So yeah, pricey indeed."
