The Sunset Restaurant Malibu Reviews from The Last Year
We spent a morning climbing Point Dume- loved that there's
We spent a morning climbing Point Dume- loved that there's parking here plus our friend recommended it. Sand covered patio outside was perfect to enjoy a sunny day. Light lunch & everything was delicious & fresh- manager stopped by was quite friendly. Waiter was super on top of things. Indoor decor also lovely & spacious. Restroom was clean- definitely worth repeat visit
We drove two hours in traffic to come to this place and it
We drove two hours in traffic to come to this place and it did not disappoint. We are from Texas and we were on our last night from Spring Break and started driving back after going here. The food was amazing, the views were perfect, and the service was great! Definitely 10/10!

I try to get to this restaurant each time I visit Malibu,
I try to get to this restaurant each time I visit Malibu, it's one of my favorites! Right on the water with a beautiful view! The restaurant is lined with windows and multiple tables at the windows, so you always have a great view! This last time, we ordered the Asian Brussels sprouts that were SO good! And I had the pumpkin sage ravioli- oh my word! And my daughter had mushroom risotto- so good! Do not miss the flourless chocolate cake for dessert- literally divine!
Went here for my little sister's birthday lunch.
Got in just the nick of time for valet parking ($10) or else we would have to find street parking. Seated right away. Had reservations for party of 8. Service took a while tho. Our waiter must have been busy because he rarely checked in on us. Had to walk over to the service counter a few times to ask for things (ex refill on water, utensils,etc). Food was ok. We shared the calamari. I had the salmon. Nothing too fancy. Sis has the tuna tartare. Dessert was tiramisu (that was yummy) with a side of coffee.. Would I go back again? Maybe.
Late entry: I was here in March of 2020 & I love this
Late entry: I was here in March of 2020 & I love this place!! I can't wait to go back because of the views !!!
I can't believe I passed it going to Point Dume all these
I can't believe I passed it going to Point Dume all these years! The ambiance is perfect - right by the beach and that airy feel that Malibu restaurants get perfectly. Our server, Diana, was so sweet and kind to me and my parents. The food was delicious - amazing calamari, tuna - and we ordered so much that we had to take a burger and some seafood tacos home! This restaurant is way better than Paradise Cove. Highly recommend. Delicious, fresh and beautiful. What could be better?
We come have brunch to the restaurant often.
Today we headed over to have a nice Sunday meal. Starting with the girl at the reception counter she had a bad attitude and didn't make us feel welcome at all. The french server we had wasn't the greatest either, charged us more on our brunch cocktails and was not attentive. We come here on Sundays to enjoy our day not to deal with rude personnel and have our day ruined.
The Tacos and dessert were what I ordered and I wanted
The Tacos and dessert were what I ordered and I wanted round 2!!! Service was great, and drinks excellent!! A lot of fun right near the sand!
The host/service inside the restaurant is lackluster.
The host , the food and the service inside is not worth coming back. NOW why did I give them any stars at all? Because of the Valet guys! The most sweetest and attentive personal! I attempted to come back ONLY for them. This restaurant has a great location but nothing special. For reference we got the Lobster Mac&Cheese/the chopped salad/ and shrimp tacos.
Horrible Sunset delivery quality of food
ordered a delivery two days and most of the food was NOT edible. Lobster Mac and Cheese tasted mouldy and clam chower was BROWN and icky, with no bacon or cream. Horrible for restuarnt that is usually quite good.
Drinks
A beautiful location! The octopus was tasty but the portion was small. Service is nice, but not attentive. Don't expect a lot and it will be a nice time.
Witnessed such rudeness to staff member
We are on holiday from Ireland and had travelled yesterday from Santa Clarita to Sunset restaurant. However, as we waited at reception to be shown to our table, the very pleasant lady who had greeted us and was about to share menus with us, was spoken to so rudely by a man, who we believed to be a manager. She looked upset. I regret not expressing my disapproval to this man (I would not describe him as a gentleman!). We should have just left then, we had seen all we needed to know about this restaurant. The food was also only very average, certainly nothing worth travelling for.
Total Train Wreck - An Overpriced Trap
Probably the most overpriced, worst meal we have ever experienced. We came here because of reviews and because of the supposed "ocean view". Biggest mistake ever. We were stuck on the windy road leading to the restaurant for over 40 minutes due to the fact that the restaurant sits directly opposite a state beach entrance. Once we were near the restaurant, they did have valet parking to get us into their lot. It was service by committee, and no less than 4 waiters served our table. We were a party of 6. I ordered the scallops wrapped in bacon with an apple compote dressing. No doubt the scallops were frozen then thawed. The bacon was cold, stale, and simply placed on top of the scallops as a condiment. Horrible cook on the scallops, and they were nothing more than chewy biscuits with the most awful bacon I have ever tasted. My son and his girlfriend ordered a risotto entre to split as well as a few starters. We were charged $3 per dish to have split plates. All the dishes lacked seasoning and the basic skills of meal preparation. The chef obviously did not taste any of the meals. Our meals lacked the very basic skill set for any restaurant. How do you not salt French fries? The kicker was that our lunch bill for 6 people was over $380. The restaurant automatically places an 18% service fee on tables of 6 or more. We have eaten more cheaply at Michelin starred restaurants in Greece and Sicily. I feel completely raped even with California prices. This place certainly prepared nothing close to match these high fees. No! We did not have extravagant drinks. One beer and one cocktail between us. This was a basic lunch stop. Like a moron I believed the 5 star reviews on several sites that raved about the food and the ocean view. I have attached 3 photos showing what constitutes an ocean view. No doubt the manager paid for favorable reviews. Unless you enjoy going out to Denny's for steak, there simply is no way an average person would rate this place a 5 star. The circus of waiters never came to tend our table once our meals were plopped down . We had to flag them down for condiments and extra plates. The restrooms were disgusting especially the women's which was limited to a single stall because bloody tissues were strewn across one of the stalls. To top off the overall train wreck that this place is, the latter half of our meal was entertained by a neighboring table engaged in a cursing fight with the manager over the standards of this restaurant. That was probably the best part of our experience! I would never recommend this place. Avoid being another mark in this manager's scheme to screw the tourist.
Dinner on New Yearโs Day, overrun by the weather... and with a poor afterbite !!!
Picked the end of December for a drive down from Sacramento to Los Angeles along the west coast, on the beautiful, incomparable US Coastal Highway 1. This was along anticipated, 36-year dream plan to experience that coastline up closeโฆ Of course, the weather and our airline (Southwest) both conspired to screw things up royally !! It rained every day of our 10-day vacation except the last, and when we were to fly from Seattle to Sacramento, the airline industry had a meltdown, leaving us stranded at SeaTac at 5:30 in the morning. Well, we couldnโt give up, and rented a car and drove 17 hours through pelting rain to get to CA and assume our planned itinerary. Wouldnโt advise anyone to try this !! Malibu ! The fabulous Malibu.. storied and infamous for many of its eccentric, rich and famous natives. And itโs NEW YEARโs DAY, the sun finally came out after 8 continuous days of drenching, and we were having our last supper, before heading to LAX and thence home to NY. All good things come to an end ~ wet or dry. The Sunset is located on Westward Beach Road, on the south-east edge of the townโฆ looking at an expanse of sand and wavesโฆ incessant waves all the way to Japan. Or Hawaii โฆ.Russia, perhaps ? It occupies a white, frame building on the side of the narrow, sand-covered road, adjacent to the parking lot and outdoor seating area, which was closed at the time for winter (and rain.) The winds off the Pacific are very strong so the sand, having had part of a day to dry, was blowing everywhere. Once inside, the place was teeming. A busy, hectic and cheerful atmosphere, with tables being rotated for arriving guests and a busy, cheerful chaos-y hubbub. We arrived a little late into the evening (the place was starting to rapidly empty out) hoping to catch the sunset at The Sunset, but there was none ! The windows were so dusty that one could barely see through them. Was this because of the rain and winds ? Surely, someplace as busy and attractive as this should at least wipe down the windows at sundown to live up to their name ? We started with an Allegria Salad ($19) which we split. The salad was crisp, crunchy and delicious, but splitting it resulted in an additional โsplit plate feeโ of $3. For our mains, we had an order of Crab Cake ($28) and the Whole Mediterranean Branzino ($48). Both dishes were great, though the Branzino was better than the crabcakes, which felt a little too bready and dry. The fish had crispy skin, and deliciously soft and delectable meat. Well done on that one, Sunset ! We noticed that all the menu prices were higher than their prices online, as indicated by โNYEโ (New Yearโs Eve..?) against each item on our check, except the Qt of Hoyt Viognier. However, a few weeks later, when I got my CreditCard statement, I found that our server โNOEโ, had added an additional tip on top of what we gave. This is NOT good practice for any service establishment. I called their manager, Max, about this in March, and he promised to get back to me ~ but has not done so as of July. Bad way to start the year with them: be warnedโฆ I always try and check my statements because some folks think they wonโt be caught.
Do not go. Horrible place.
Horrible,snooty place. Had reservations for 75 th birthday dinner , inside and upstairs. Arrived on time . Told we had to eat outside or leave. Management was unresponsive and downright nasty. We were not dressed for outside. Froze at sunset. No offer of complimentary drinks. No birthday dessert. Not even offered a dessert menu. Food was excellent and head valet was great. Woman throwing up in sink in womenโs bathroom. Never offered to move us inside when tables opened. Service was horrible. McDonalds are run better. We will never go again and will badmouth to hundreds of friends.
Great view and food.
We ate dinner at the Sunset with our family the last week of May, 2023. My daughter had called for a reservation and had a fantastic table with a great view of what we hoped would be a beautiful sunset. The hostess was very nice, the service was superb, and the meal was excellent. We were there for our youngest granddaughterโs 1st birthday. The Sunset was nice enough to comp us a slice if wonderful cake which was nice. I had my first Wagyu burger which was also very good. While in my personal opinion, the restaurant is a little the food, view, and ambiance helps make it a worthwhile visit.
Sunset Restaurant, a place for the view of the beach and Sunset. Expect a good time
The spot has a beautiful view of the beach. Be prepared for difficult traffic and limited parking on the street, and $10 valet only parking. Be aware there will be no accommodation for ADA people. The restaurant is small and very loud. the food is good but expect appetisers to be $22-$26 and Entrees to be in the $29 to $40 range. You are paying for the view of the beach and sunset. The drinks are standard Malibu prices, but nothing special. The atmosphere is casual with no need to be dressed in more than covered beach wear.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been โmatchedโ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
