Moonshadows Malibu

"A fantastic place! The unbeatable view, tasty seafood dishes, and excellent service make it a highly recommended spot. Don't miss the sunset with a cocktail – a perfect touch to a great experience."

"Great location, but I got a smell once I walked in and didn't hit me well for a first impression. We also had a party of 10 and wanted to split the bill accordingly, but the waiter never asked us and then told us we could only split it 4 ways. The food was decent- could have used a bit more flavor. The oysters were nice and fresh. The ambiance (outside of the smell) was spectacular. Great scenery, right on the water, great decor. Would have to visit again"

"Through the food, we witnessed the changing of the seasons. In this modern era, it’s a privilege to put down our phones and open our senses to the world, to touch the color, to witness the shapes. It's not our fault that we are bound by entities like games, apps, and social media, because they are designed to pump dopamine to our brain cells. But when we sat down and watched the sun slowly set, we felt as if we were experiencing early summer, transitioning into fall, then winter. It's like all the memories of 2023 were replaying in front of our eyes, not visually, but emotionally. Then, of course, food was fantastic. To be fair, I’m not saying it's "oh my god, this is so delicious I have to give it a 10 star but I’m capped at 5” delicious, but it's solid, well-prepared, and joyful food. So I think the point of this restaurant, at least in my opinion, is that it captures your attention, slows you down, opens your senses, and ensures you can enjoy a one-hour dining moment. Don’t forget, make a reservation 30 minutes before sunset. Otherwise you will miss what I just described. I hope you enjoy it!"

"You can't go wrong in Malibu, at least not here. My family came in from out of town and wanted to go to Malibu. Reservations were easy. Service was quick and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a quick lunch here and while there was a crowd we were seated and served quickly. Let me start by sharing that everyone from the valet, to the reservation check in, the hostess, and other staff went above and beyond with service. Our server made excellent drink recommendations. The panoramic views were absolutely breathtaking. There were 4 of us and everything we ordered was perfection."
