I brought an East Coast client here for dinner because there’s truly nothing like a December California sunset — and The Sunset Restaurant delivered perfectly.

The dining room glows at golden hour, with huge open windows that bring the ocean right into your table. It’s such a classic Malibu experience — warm, relaxed, and never overcrowded. Parking was surprisingly easy too, which is rare for a beachfront spot.

Our server was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly so we could enjoy the sunset without feeling rushed.

If you’re looking for a true “Malibu evening” — great food, ocean views, and that effortless coastal vibe — this is the place. Always a solid choice for locals and visitors alike.

We visited The Sunset Restaurant yesterday, and the location alone makes it worth a stop. The restaurant sits right next to the beach with an incredible ocean and sunset view — truly a memorable atmosphere.

The food was average — not great, but not bad either. Flavors could be more expressive, though portions were decent. Service was fine and timely.

Overall, this is a wonderful place to enjoy the sunset and ocean scenery. Come for the atmosphere; the food is secondary.

We had an amazing, memorable meal at The Sunset Restaurant. Things I’ll always remember: the hospitality of management, the carrot cake dessert, the fish sandwich, and the incredible views and vibe. I’m hesitant to write this review because I don’t want to let the secret out! This is a hidden LA gem.

We visited lots of top rated restaurants during our stay in Malibu but this topped them all. It was surreal. The location is absolutely amazing! The beachfront location is great for any occasion. The service and food were great!

Love their French fries and clams! The view is amazing, the only thing I don’t like this place is the restroom is like a public restroom on the beach compared to the entire restaurant atmosphere and price.

After a great day at Westward Beach, Sunset Beach Cafe was the perfect, convenient spot to grab a bite.
The star of the show was definitely the burger. I ordered the Wagyu beef burger, and it was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, served on a fresh bun with greens and a side of perfectly crisp fries. That alone makes it a worthwhile stop!
The downside of the meal, however, was the melon mocktail. I was hoping for something refreshing and sweet, but it sadly missed the mark. It tasted overwhelmingly like cucumbers, which wasn’t what I was expecting at all. I’d skip that drink next time.
Overall, Sunset Beach Cafe is a great place to go since it’s located right there near the beach. The food is high-quality, and the burger is a must-try. I’ll stick to water or a different beverage next time, but the solid meal makes the cafe an easy recommendation.

This place is honestly spectacular!!! We had a big party for a birthday dinner for my wife. 4 kids and 3 adults. They were able to find us a spot. The service was on point, food was delicious and the location is amazing. I will be coming back multiple times for celebration or a nice beach day.

I had an unforgettable dining experience at Sunset Restaurant in Malibu! The oceanfront location offers breathtaking views, especially during sunset, creating a magical ambiance. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The menu, featuring fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients, was a delight—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the grilled octopus and the signature lobster pasta! The wine selection paired perfectly with our meal, and the outdoor patio added to the relaxed, coastal vibe. Sunset Restaurant is a must-visit gem in Malibu for anyone seeking a perfect blend of stunning scenery and exceptional cuisine.

The staff here are friendly and attentive. The happy hour menu is available at the bar and front area. If you just want to stop by for a quick and relaxing time, I definitely recommend trying the happy hour menu! It’s also a great place for dinner or a full meal.

I had the fried calamari (CALAMARI FRITTI) and the lobster & crab pasta (LOBSTER & CRAB LINGUINE). The pasta came with a slightly curry-flavored sauce and was loaded with generous chunks of lobster and crab meat. And you must try the fried calamari — it was absolutely delicious! The sauce that comes with it is amazing, and although there’s a $1 charge for a refill, it’s totally worth it because you’ll want to dip again and again. The combo is just perfect!

Lastly, I also recommend the carrot cake for dessert — it was a great way to end the meal!

A lovely dinner with beachfront views, dog-friendly patio and delicious tropical drinks. Waitstaff were incredibly kind, professional and accommodating and the menu offered something for everyone.

We enjoyed the cheese board which came with two types of cheese, fruits and spreads. The Mai Tais were well-balanced and perfect for the beach; and the wine list was full of great selections— we really enjoyed the Malbec.

For Entrees we ordered the sea bass and the chicken sandwich, both of which were well-enjoyed. The sea bass was perfectly tender and the Mediterranean olive/tomato sauce on top complimented it well.

Overall, we really enjoyed the experience— a perfect place for a beach day — stop in for lunch, dinner or cocktails and enjoy the sound of the waves!
