“Warm and cozy bar area! Great food and cocktails! Friendly staff!“

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!“

“Nice and comfortable atmosphere.“

“A gem of a dining destination with an elevated but accessible menu. Patio seating is a must, and coyote fries are a can’t-miss—as is the entire wine list.“

“Great service @ amazing food!“

“We went for dinner with the family on a Tuesday night. The place has a high ceiling and is very open - much like an attic space. The counter at the front has a huge refrigerated case with nice looking pastries. We didn't try the pastries. We were seated and the waiter came quickly. She took our drink order and came back for our entree order right after. We all chose pasta. I had the bolognese tagliatelle. My husband had the plain red sauce. My husband reported that his pasta was great. Mine sauce was good but not great. It was soft and lacked depth, or character. The pasta itself was good, not the pasta. My main concern was the noise level. Granted, I'm not young, but the hard floors and high ceilings weren't softened by any soft covers, so it was deafening to me.“

“Tremendous fun. It isn't Thursday night without a stop here.“

“Wide array of choices for burgers! Great service! We went at a time when there were only two other families eating, about 1 hour prior to closing but plenty of time to order and eat our food! The place was quiet enough that we could easily hear each other and conversation, seating was fairly comfortable with availability to dine inside or outside.
Our server, Logan, was super accommodating and welcoming while still being professional and deficient! Very accommodating in helping us with the menu and recommendations!
He helped us compromise between curly fries and truffle fries by using truffle oil and Parmesan on the curly fries! It was great!
The burgers were absolutely delicious! We ordered two burgers and just split them and each had half so that we can enjoy the experience of burger flavors that were new to us!
It was very refreshing to have a server who seemed genuinely engaged, and who definitely seemed to want us to have a good experience!
Parking was easy in a free open lot shared amongst other businesses.
The restroom was clean, as was the restaurant!“

“A little bit pricey but it is very very good quality food. Eggs are super fresh, good strong coffee, everything I’ve had there has been fantastic. Ambience is lovely as well.

Parking: Small parking lot right by the restaurant that can get full. Plenty of parking on the opposite side of the building if there are no spots.“

“I was visiting family I haven’t seen for awhile and wanted to eat Jerry’s deli what was my surprise urban plates took over I looked at the menu and decided to try it big portions, healthy , comfort food service was great specially was clean I will definitely come back soon.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“The location on Porter Ranch was not as loud as the one in Santa Clarita. The food was really yummy. So far, my toddler's favorite mac n cheese place. It did get busy, but our server was able to come around more constantly than the one at Santa Clarita. We sat outside even though it was windy and chilly, but the covers and heater made the atmosphere great .“

“My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moonshadows in Malibu, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.

We started with the BBQ octopus and a dozen oysters, both of which were exquisitely prepared and presented. The octopus was tender and flavorful, and the oysters were fresh and succulent. For our main course, we shared the Lobster and Crab Linguine and the Miso Glazed Black Cod. Both dishes were absolutely divine! The linguine was perfectly cooked with a so fresh and good taste tomato sauce that was shocking, and the seafood was fresh and flavorful. The black cod was cooked to perfection, and the miso glaze was the perfect complement to the delicate flavor of the fish.

But the highlight of our experience was the breathtaking view. We had reserved a window table for 4pm, just in time to witness a spectacular sunset over the Pacific Ocean. The colors were simply unbelievable, and it was the perfect backdrop for our romantic dinner.

The service at Moonshadows was impeccable. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. The cocktails were also top-notch, and we enjoyed a couple of delicious drinks while we watched the sunset.

Overall, we had an amazing experience at Moonshadows. The food, the service, and the view were all exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special dining experience in Malibu.

A few tips for those planning to visit:

Reserve a window table in advance, especially if you want to enjoy the sunset. Keep in mind that window tables have a two-hour limit.
Check the sunset time for the day of your reservation and book your table accordingly. I recommend booking it for 30 minutes before sunset to enjoy the full spectacle.
Don't miss out on the cocktails! They are expertly crafted and delicious.
I hope this review is helpful!“

“What a terrific Eatery and Bar. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and asked to be seated in the outside patio which was perfect. The hostesses were so welcoming and kind. Addi was our server and was so professional and pleasant. We asked for a recommendation on tequilla cocktails and Addi suggested the Latin Distraction which was tasty and refreshing. We both enjoyed the drinks and ordered the Hummus and Baba appetizer which was also delicious. For our main entrees my wife ordered the chicken kabob and I had the Bolognese and both were well prepared and presented besides tasty. It was an enjoyable dining experience and the ambiance was pleasant and uplifting. Highly recommended.“

“I celebrated Mother’s Day on the 12th of May 2024 at Joey in Woodland Hills. Very friendly atmosphere. Friendly welcoming . We had a very good and friendly service from Kavin. Good food. Nice presentation.“

“Stayed here for a few days. Restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. No food between 10-4pm if you’re in the hotel. Their little market does have food to go options.

Breakfast opens at 6am. Sadly, you can’t pre-order. I ordered for delivery one more and then pickup the next. If you order online, make sure to pay attention if you pick room service or pickup.

Had dinner a few times. They have grilled octopus. The one that I got was a tad salty and lemony. I’m not keen on lemon on my seafood. It was tender. So if you don’t mind it, then you’ll be ok. Otherwise, let them know to go easy on the lemon and salt. Also ordered fish tacos, chicken wings and truffle Parmesan fries. Out of all of them, I’d say truffle Parmesan was the best.

Staff is super friendly and attentive.“

“Amazing food and the service is always 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best food to enjoy with your love ones .. I recommend this place 100% and it’s not expensive for the portions you get in your order! Thanks Dogs Haus! 🍔 🍟“

“Food is consistently excellent and the service is also great.“

“All the above! Love the ol Duke's BU!!“

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!“

“Bright refreshing cool drinks“

“I had a wonderful stay at Malibu Beach Inn! The hotel facilities were truly exceptional. The location right on the beach is absolutely stunning, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. The rooms themselves are elegantly decorated and extremely comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. One of the highlights of the stay was meeting Realda. She was the most gracious host and her attention to detail was incredible. She kindly upgraded our room as it was my sisters birthday, we had a cake in the room along with a sweet birthday card. She packed up a bag of towels and freshly baked cookies we could enjoy on the beach. She was amazing! Malibu Beach Inn exceeded my expectations in every way, providing a luxurious and unforgettable beachfront experience. I can't wait to return and make more cherished memories at this exceptional hotel.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“This place was really amazing. The weight staff was all great. They helped me out with a small issue. I had with my diabetes by providing me with some orange juice because my blood sugar had gotten low. I truly appreciate him doing that for me. Thank you so much and I will come back again next time I’m in San Diego.“

“Their sandwiches and salads makes a quick lunch or dinner so easy. Their app makes ordering very simple and provides the opportunity to earn points for a discount off the purchase once you reach the purchase level.“

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“Found this gem on our way to Ventura. Very very good! Fresh and great selection. Yummmm“

“Friendly bartenders & awesome food! 🍔“

“Good food! Good combos fresh bread fast service, reasonable $“

“The sever was exceptional 👍👍“

“Food and service are top notch“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“jumbo shrimp with cajun sauce. the best“

“I was very impressed by the friendliness and service with Ollo for a recent catering delivery. I called around to several places and with very slow response times and abruptness directing me back to the website for Uber delivery. The host and manager Spencer followed up on the order and went out of the way to make sure it was a great experience for the group and the stressed out person (me:) trying to coordinate for the group. Highly recommend!!“

“Been twice now. I have almost 2 decades experience in the bar industry. It's food was limited but pretty good, which is why I went back. The drinks are on the pricey side. Experienced 1 good bartender, a guy. Another decent bartender, female. 1 bartender I would just walk out if they were working, a female. Neither time was busy or anything really there to bring people in, n art class one night. NFL football another night, and the football game was on only 1 a small TV in the corner away from the bar. This bar has much more potential, but it's ok. There's a lot I would do different.“

“Went because I received an email earlier in the day... once at the restaurant we were told that they had run out of 1 of the 2 proteins in the email. We were offered a discount on other options. While the good was good, it wasn't what we originally wanted (and was the main reason for picking Black Angus for dinner).“

“I love your sushi! They also have some of the best curry dishes!“

“The food was really good. The bowling was fine. The shoelaces were too long, though.


Truffle fries: 5/5

Parking: It can be tough to find parking in the parking lot on a Saturday night, but the parking structure will likely have some spots.“

“I liked it.! First time there. I’ll go back.“

“Good food and ambience you will enjoy!“

“We didn't know there was an event at the Marriott. Very noisy and many people walking through the restaurant. It would have been helpful to know in advance when I booked on line that there was a major event at that location. Other than that, it was good“

“What a wonderful surprise. From the decor, the extremely professional and friend staff to the incredible food. I couldn’t not recommend Joe’s Cafe to everyone. Go!“

“I love going to wholefoods I always find something interesting. The place is huge but in a good way. The prices on most things can be a bit expensive but your paying for organic foods and of great quality. They also have lots of ready made foods and a place to dine in. I look forwards always to shop there.“

“Lovely Brigitte was our server. She made some great suggestions. This place is unique. Quiet. Fair price. Trained in the kitchen to prepare great dishes. The bread was warm and fresh. Took wife and daughter. Nice setting. And booth is spacious. Need to come here more! Also the calamari was memorable with banana peppers to add zing. Even with a busy mall, not a problem here. Generous amount of crab in the mac and cheese.“

“Awesome service and the food is amazing 😻“

“Outstanding food, baby back ribs fall off at the touch, no frills menu, it’s a bbq joint, if you’re looking for Foo-Foo items ? Wrong place, simple menu, something for everyone, friendly staff, family owned. Outdoor dining, live music on occasion, takeout and pickup available…. Hole in the wall, rustic and comfortable, it’s really a unique inviting establishment“

“Great salmon salad 🥗 the waiters were very friendly“

“Came here for a special dinner. We were in the hut room with the fireplace. I ordered Mary's Half Chicken. Sorry but it definitely needs more flavor more seasoning. The portion was pretty good. Then my boyfriend ordered the pasta. It was really good. So we swapped plates lol. The waiter didn't check on us often. However the couple next to us got a lot of attention. But we still enjoyed our night. As we left my boyfriend pulled me aside and proposed to me ❣️ made the night so special.“
