We went to the Sunset for brunch and had a HUGE baby calamari appetizer, fish tacos and a chicken club. We though this place was nice, sun-bleached and casual with friendly young staff and more serious seafood dishes if you happened to be after something more substantial. Nice view along the window over Zuma Beach, but there is a road... more

The location of this restaurant is amazing. Booking around sunset can not be beat. They have an upstairs and downstairs. Downstairs is a lighter menu and has a bar, upstairs is more of a formal setting and dinner menu. The views upstairs were fantastic, the beach-facing side is basically all picture windows overlooking the ocean. Dress was pretty casual, some... more

I wonder who wrote the other reviews - maybe staff at The Sunset? We went last weekend after reading them & won't be returning. The location is lovely, the surf crashes right across the street - behind the large motorhome, but that is not the fault of The Sunset. To begin, the car parking guys were efficient but surly, did... more

Very nice location across the street from the beach. The only problem was that a motorhome parked in front of the restaurant blocking the view of the sunset over the beach. The service was excellent ! The halibat was the best I've had outside of Alaska. more

Where to begin, this restaurant deserves to be at the top of every list. Why? they don't just settle for having a gorgeous location to draw in the crowds. The chef and GM are constantly trying new and exciting things to make it a better experience every time. There is an upstairs dining room, with fine dining in a contemporary... more

We call the Sunset a "joint" at the beach. The location is terrific. We go for a martini and a cheese burger in our jeans and sweats. Other than that, the food is forgetable, but it's a 'kick" and we love it! more

We live in Malibu so we know what the restaurant businesses cater to here: tourists who will spend money for the view so the food is second rate or worse. Not the case with this restaurant! The food is so good, we come at least once a week, either for dinner or brunch. The chef, Jake, loves to experiment and... more

Friendly helpful staff, great location and solid menu definitely makes it worth a visit if you're in Malibu. We were there Halloween which added to the festive atmosphere even tho we ate upstairs (quieter, softer ambience) and didn't come in costume! Food was really above expectations...excellent butternut squash ravioli and I;d have rated my hanger steak and frites excellent if... more

One of the most romantic restaurants I've ever been to! Right on the sand with a breathtaking view of the Pacific. more

A MUST DO & SEE! Look cool, try not to be a tourist. It is secluded and faces the Pacific Ocean ... Plus, the fish tacos are outstanding! Also, the best Mojitos to be had outside of Havana, Cuba! more
