A very authentic steak house with old town vibe. It’s usually crowded due to popularity. You are recommended to make a reservation a few weeks in advance. I think we booked about three weeks before to be well seated at the time frame of our reservation. We got a booth table for 5. It was very cozy. Food wise, if you are a steak person, don’t miss their rib-eye, baked potato combo. If you are a sweet desert person, order their lava cake. It’s delicious! Everything else we got was very tasty! Portion for everything is generous. Friendly price given today’s economy. We got quite a bit of leftovers back home to enjoy too! Service was good, not too warm but we got everything we wanted eventually, they were just really busy all that time. I recommend this place to people who love a good steak and a cozy place to dine&wine. I do apologize the pictures aren’t doing the food justice due to low light. But I guarantee everything was tasty.

I’m a “meat and potatoes” kinda guy and this is meat and potatoes at their finest. The sirloin is perfectly cooked, medium rare, of course, with great grill marks. The chicken is juicy, I love the dressing on the salad and you can never go wrong with a loaded baked potato. I also recommend the sourdough and chocolate chip cookie.
And I really like how you have a 2 hour window to eat, makes the night go at the exact right pace.

What an experience!!! My wife and kids brought me here for a birthday dinner. I was pleasantly surprised and left a very happy man. I grew up at Musso and Franks steakhouse in Hollywood. My father was the grill master for 35 years. So saying this place was an absolute amazing experience says quite a bit. You definitely need reservations to sit inside. Do it even try to walk in. The place is small but very comfortable. Highly Highly recommend The Old Place!!

One of my favorite restaurants ever! Wine bar next door while you wait. Local musicians tend to wander in. Warning…portions are enormous! Nothing frozen because well, they still don’t have a freezer! Short rib stew tastes like it was simmered down for a long time. Yum. Atmosphere is so fun.
There should be a list of places like this set in old California buildings. Add Cold Spring Tavern… You get the idea.

We visited The Old Place today and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The property is spacious, and it doesn’t even feel like you’re still in Los Angeles — very beautiful and unique. We ordered the beef stew, a salad, and beer. Everything was tasty, though the salad didn’t seem very fresh. The bill came to about $100, but one thing I didn’t like was that an 18% service charge was automatically included.

Besides the exotic cars that show up here there isn’t really anything that notable here. We got the breakfast burrito and the cinnamon rolls. The breakfast burrito was very tasty but its a hard sell at $20 plus an automatic 18% tip (for them just taking your order and calling it your number, they really should just make the prices higher). The cinnamon rolls were a complete let down they came with a cream cheese frosting that they don’t even let you order without, the frosting if you like cream cheese isn’t bad but it ruins food for me. And then all the pictures showed a large roll but this was three small rolls, so basically just a bunch of crust.

The Old Place has a really cool atmosphere — rustic, charming, and full of character. The service is excellent; the staff is super kind and welcoming, which really makes the experience. While the food is just average, the overall vibe and hospitality more than make up for it.
It’s a great spot to hang out and have a good time with friends or family. Definitely worth a visit for the experience!

Finally made it here! $120 for 2 people for lunch is wild, and definitely someone only Malibu residents can tolerate. Truly, changed nothing for me. It was worth every penny. Food was beyond delicious. Food was prompt. Seating was eclectic, themed to perfection, comfortable. Service was simple and dialed in. What a wonderful experience from top to bottom. Espresso shack was a worthwhile side quest also.

The Old Place has been around for a very long time and has been a local favorite. Dinner reservations have to be made ahead of time as it’s always fully booked. In recent times it has become the it spot for all road enthusiasts whether car lovers, bikers or road cyclists. Everybody comes together for breakfast and coffee or drinks on the weekends and just hangs out. Food is superb. Coffee is tasty. Come check it out and you will not regret it.

Amazing place for food and drinks! When ordering, keep in mind that the portions tend to be really big! Enjoy your food at one of the outside tables and make sure to get some wine from the main building as well!
Old Place also seems to be a gathering spot for car enthusiasts – you will surely find some amazingly preserved classic cars drive by and park inside.
This is an amazing place to relax with friends over some good food and some drinks after a day of hiking and exploring the Santa Monica mountains. In its neighborhood you will also find several wineries!
