The Paradise Cove cafe used to have great food about 10 years ago, but it's gone steadily downhill since then, sure would love to know why. Maybe it's the increase in costs of running a restaurant, bad management or both - who knows. Service used to also be really good and timely too, but that's gone out the window also.... more

We were here for a small wedding reception - planned in advance, with a reservation. In spite of the advance notice, our party was kept waiting for almost 45 minutes before being seated - when we were finally seated, outside, the table umbrellas didn't stay open, the wait staff was incredibly slow and very rude, the food took another 45... more

I must make it clear - I have never been to the beach at Paradise Cove, but it sure is always crowded. However, if you're just going there just to eat, you'll be okay. The food there is amazing! There are a lotta waiters/waitresses serving around, you won't have a problem with service. The workers there are all pretty laidback,... more

We loved this place a few years ago. Now, we wold NEVER return. A fake beach has been added in what was the parking lot to create a "beach bar" area that is an insult to anyone who who loves the beach, or loves bars for that matter. Jim Rockford must be fuming at what has happened to "Paradise." The... more

The location is beautiful but the service, food and drinks sucked. I could have made a better mojito and shrimp scampi at home. I was very disappointed that I paid as much as I did for mediocore food. I recommend either going to Malibu Seafood which is better food at a better price or spending a little more and going... more

I have given this place several chances. The view is pleasant and you WANT it to be wonderful. But, they don't even read confirmed reservations/requests. Then they run around scrambling when you get there with your party of 15. The waiters there systematically overcharge (so check you bill item by item -- they will feign 'surprise' when you find they've... more

If your looking for elegance or a quiet relaxing meal, Paradise Cove is not for you. But if you're looking for tons of Malibu Beach atmosphere, want to order a cocktail or a meal and eat it on a table in the sand while people watching on the pretty private beach, then this is the place! It's also kid friendly... more

Paradise Cove Beach Cafe is located at Paradise Cove. Parking can be tricky when busy and in season. Parking is also used by beach goers and can be very expensive if you forget to validate. Views are beautiful. You can enjoy a drink outside while watching the activity on the beach before you. Great people watching! Inside, there are complimentary... more

I am from Cincinnati Ohio, and I am really surprised!!! I thought backward sophistication and high prices came on the West Coast. 25.00 a meal is not expensive people..They have the best calamari that I would feel free to pay all day long for an appetizer. I love the beach sitting and yes you can walk around and get your... more
