“We came to Malibu with a larger group for my sister’s bachelorette. We booked at Taverna Tonys because we heard about the good vibes, belly dancing, and live music on the weekend. Let’s just say this place did not disappoint!Great food, fantastic service, fun Greek wine & the best vibes! We danced the night away. The staff seemed to be having just as much fun as we were, which is always great to see. Overall amazing experience from the first interactions with the hostess, to the great drinks at the bar, the wildly impressive backservers carrying our huge trays of plates and the fun server! Thanks again. We will be back!“

“I actually booked the wrong date, but the staff was very understanding and let me reschedule. It rained the day of my hike but I think that made it even more fun. The ranch is gorgeous! The employees are so nice. I arrived an hour early so Marissa let me sit with her inside so I wouldn't have to sit out in the cold. Our tour guide was Steffani, she was very knowledgeable and extremely funny. I can't wait to go back!“

“A beautiful view accompanied by a delicious coffee. I recommend visiting Malibu Farm Pier Cafe when visiting the pier. and its surroundings, but I recommend visiting it during times of low attendance, I do not recommend Saturdays and Sundays at noon, because long lines are generated and the place is not appreciated. Furthermore, I recommend going with time to spend a few minutes and enjoy the view and sea air.“

He spent time at our table explaining the options and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. I had the French toast and breakfast potatoes and it was all very flavorful and delicious! Would definitely recommend stopping by for a great meal! ?“

“Came here with my brother a few weeks ago. Great atmosphere. You basically have to Valet ( I drive a Tesla Model 3 2023 with limo tints and a 270 mile range) and so it was nothing but a breeze. Look the food was good, the atmosphere was great. The weather was sexy. The trees were beautiful. Let's get down to the real reason I'm leaving this review. I'm Pre-Med and it's tough. If there are any physicians reading this (MD, but DO is okay too!) LET ME SHADOW PLEASE. Also, any professors doing research right now in the vicinity, I would love to do research with you. Let's be honest, I'm going to skim through your current research, pretend like I know what in the world it's talking about, email you some generic response, and hope you give me a position. Let's cut to the chase. I'm smart, I have a 3.97 GPA, but beyond that I work hard. Feel free to reach out. Cheers!“

“Recently came to Malibu and stopped by here to get a meal after a hike. Iv passed by here a few times before and usually go to broad oyster co, but decided I wanted to try something new. It's in a beautiful shopping center with other restaurants and can sometimes get crowded. The ambiance here is beautiful, inside and outside, so it's worth dining in! I got the Smokey bbq bacon cheeseburger medium well with fries. The burger was big, juicy and flavorful. It's defiantly a hefty burger so don't underestimate it. The fries are decent , could use more seasoning but they're still good! Prices are a bit hefty at $20, but it's Malibu and some of the cheaper options in the area. Definitely gonna try more stuff here after hiking !“

“Very nice for an end of the day respite on the Pacific Ocean. Will be going back. The fish tacos are quite delicious. Like all places on the beach in California the prices are pretty ridiculous but you're not paying for the food. You're paying for the sunset. It was lovely to eat with my toes in the sand.“
