Came here to celebrate a birthday and had a great time! The service was excellent and the staff was very attentive. It's a small restaurant so i would recommend making a reservation. The view is stunning and i would come here just for that alone. The food was good, but i wasn't blown away. All in all, i would come back. Side notes: They do have a valet. They have high chairs available

I expected this place to be a lot more expensive considering the view and surrounding places. My chicken club was 8/10 and drip coffee was 10/10. Seemed as though they used clean ingredients too. Service was fantastic and every table faces the beach. Easy 5/5 will come again and again.

Been here a couple of times but only for drinks - I haven't tried the food yet. The drinks are good, and so is the service. But I really come here for the view, which is so nice and peaceful.

We had such an amazing romantic dinner at the Carbon Beach Club. It boasts one of the best ocean views when dining in Southern California. When it is chilly outside, in addition to the heat lamps, they provide you with plush blankets, which are so comfy!!!!! The food and service were both fantastic. Definitely a wonderful place to go for a special occasion.

We had the most romantic brunch at Carbon Beach Club. The food was exquisite and the servers were kind, though the service was a bit slow despite it not being busy. The views were unbeatable, and the sound of the ocean waves crashing was incredibly relaxing as we dined. We enjoyed a few small plates, with the Caesar salad and tuna tartare being particularly delicious. It was a convenient choice since we were staying at the Malibu Beach Inn. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we would definitely return for another meal.

To start; Matthew was AMAZING! We came in a bit early for our reservation, but got preferred seating nonetheless. The atmosphere inside is perfectly cozy (slightly dark once the sun sets), and outside present magnificent ocean views. Although each course took a while to come out, the wine selection was quite tasty and everything we ordered was absolutely delectable! The octopus was extremely tender, and the tuna tartare was beautifully flavored. Our server, Matthew, was the perfect the entire night and made sure we really enjoyed our experience.

My Son took me here on Saturday April 27th for an early birthday lunch as we were in Ventura for my nephews wedding! And while I don't much care for overpriced menus, my beautiful boy insisted and just would not give in not only for my birthday but for the experience. So I entertained it and we went, and I must say I felt out of place because of all the looks of money and such, but my boy made me feel like I belonged and that I had just as much right to be there! So we stayed, he asked the lovely host if we could wait for a table on the patio, and she said it would take about 40 minutes! We both decided to sit in their the little bar area and had a couple of drinks, I had two Mojitos (yum) and shishito peppers. The bartender was very accommodating, nice and kind. 20 minutes later the lovely host (I think her name was Mensie or Mensa? She was Host in Training) came over and told us our table on the patio was ready and took us out there. She also kept checking on us if we were okay with the table! We ordered a few appetizers another couple Mojitos for me and all that filled me up that by the time we had to order lunch, he ordered his lobster roll as I had no more space! All in all the food was good considering it was a pretty penny especially the king crabs being $80 for four pieces but it was so worth it! They were delicious. After my son paid the bill and I wanted a picture with the ocean background. The entire time the Manager never came to move tables but when we got up to take a pic he kinda snapped for us to move as if it were gonna take us 40 mins to take pics! We were there all of 5 seconds and he could not have waited? We paid a lot of money for his food and to me that was rude! In addition I have to add that our server was the absolute worst, he never name came to check on us, servers for other tables we had to ask for help! When he finally came we asked for the crab legs and he said because ordered late (5 mins) that order has fallen at the bottom of the chefs list! We asked for Salt n Pepper, another Mojito but it never came! The passing servers I asked for Salt n Pepper and a split second later - got it! Another server passed and I asked for my Mojito and not soon after it arrived! We kind of chalked it up to him being on the older side so thought to leave it alone but then again, don't think he cared much because the gratuity was already added to the bill so he knew he was getting that tip with good or bad service! Truthfully the Cheese honey appetizer was supposed to be hot but cause it didn't come out when ready, it was cold as were the truffle fries! Could it be? I don't know - maybe he should host instead of server? Honestly, If you're paying that kind of money then the service should be on point on top and the best! Aside from the Manager and our server - everything was great! Would I go there again? Maybe - but it would be for the servers that constantly helped us, the bartender and host! Oh and the hot shishito peppers and Mojitos!

Surprised with the low rating - I was here for the 2nd time today for breakfast. First time we went here was for Christmas Day brunch. At that time we arrived around noon and they had a prefix menu which I was so glad we were told we don't have to order from there. The brunch menu had more choices. Since I had a great experience last time I came back and had breakfast here this morning. The weather was really gloomy so when we arrived at 9am the outdoor seats were closed. It was ok we just sat by the lounge area next to the window. I ordered lobster omelette and my SIL ordered salmon toast. Like I say in any reviews I make and will make for Malibu - I go here for the nice view, beach and sun. There were no actual tables available next to the window but they were kind enough to let us sit in the lounge area and set up our tables there. The servers were always attentive checking on us often. The lobster omelette had a decent amount of meat but it's on the smaller size compared to other restaurants that serve the same thing. I think the best time to go here is for breakfast:brunch or lunch. When we left they opened at he balcony for lunch service. Things to know: Valet $10 for 3 hrs 18% service charge added to the bill This is at the lobby level of the Malibu beach inn so guests also dine in the restaurant. There is limited seating so reservation is through OpenTable
