Perched on the high cliffs above the Malibu coastline, this sprawling patio dining destination has been the sight of many movie scenes, marriage proposals, and special celebrations. With 180-degree coastline views, sounds of crashing waves and bubbling waterfalls, and a backdrop of wildflowers, it’s no wonder local celebrities frequently choose to dine here. The cuisine matches the luxe Southern California environs, with lobster in puff pastry, ahi with wasabi, and gourmet brunch offerings. Make reservations and bring a coat to combat chilly ocean breezes.
