“The food and the service is always the most amazing but today we had to park on PCH even though we had reservations and I told them I have a back problem to walk that far. We go there all the time and supported them during COVID and fires. While we walked down their driveway I saw about 15 other cars pass by going into the parking lot. Makes me not want to go back there again for a very long time.“

“My new favorite breakfast hang-out. Not cheap - but who really wants CHEAP? I had one of the best Latte Macciatos I ever had - their subs were crunchy and delicious, can't wait to go again. Service was very friendly - and the ambiance was very nice.Would I do a 30-minute detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve 5 stars)? I certainly would (and just did ;-)“

“HUGE cafeteria area on the Pepperdine Campus in Malibu! Tremendous variety, whether u want from a quick snack (thin, tasty pizza ? slices) or a full meal (closed buffet style meat & veggies), the prices R reasonable and the view (overlooking the Pacific) quite grand. I had the chili, and altho it was inundated w/a few too many red & green peppers for my taste, it was thick, hearty, and meaty enuf (not overly meaty, & 4 my $$$ they could replaced a few peppers w/a little MORE ground round). A pleasant surprise to me, all I can say is those Pepperdine Students EAT WELL!“

“**Review for Sparrow Restaurant**

My family and I recently dined at Sparrow Restaurant and had an outstanding experience. The service was superb, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. We ordered the burger and the chicken sandwich, both of which were delicious and of very high quality.

The overall ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic—quiet and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal. We were thoroughly impressed with the taste and quality of the food, and we can't wait to return with friends. Sparrow Restaurant is a hidden gem that we highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience.
