“We came to Malibu with a larger group for my sister’s bachelorette. We booked at Taverna Tonys because we heard about the good vibes, belly dancing, and live music on the weekend. Let’s just say this place did not disappoint!Great food, fantastic service, fun Greek wine & the best vibes! We danced the night away. The staff seemed to be having just as much fun as we were, which is always great to see. Overall amazing experience from the first interactions with the hostess, to the great drinks at the bar, the wildly impressive backservers carrying our huge trays of plates and the fun server! Thanks again. We will be back!“

“Wonderful place on the beach!! The breakfast spot is different than the brunch & lunch. The service was excellent. All the servers are kind, gentle and polite people and everyone was serving every table, there was no difference at all .. it was an absolute true meaning of "TEAMWORK". The food was also very delicious. The carrot cake was phenomenal also the chicken sandwich, that we wanted to save it for later as well! This place is a definite "Yes" !!“

“I actually booked the wrong date, but the staff was very understanding and let me reschedule. It rained the day of my hike but I think that made it even more fun. The ranch is gorgeous! The employees are so nice. I arrived an hour early so Marissa let me sit with her inside so I wouldn't have to sit out in the cold. Our tour guide was Steffani, she was very knowledgeable and extremely funny. I can't wait to go back!“

He spent time at our table explaining the options and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. I had the French toast and breakfast potatoes and it was all very flavorful and delicious! Would definitely recommend stopping by for a great meal! ?“

“Came here with my brother a few weeks ago. Great atmosphere. You basically have to Valet ( I drive a Tesla Model 3 2023 with limo tints and a 270 mile range) and so it was nothing but a breeze. Look the food was good, the atmosphere was great. The weather was sexy. The trees were beautiful. Let's get down to the real reason I'm leaving this review. I'm Pre-Med and it's tough. If there are any physicians reading this (MD, but DO is okay too!) LET ME SHADOW PLEASE. Also, any professors doing research right now in the vicinity, I would love to do research with you. Let's be honest, I'm going to skim through your current research, pretend like I know what in the world it's talking about, email you some generic response, and hope you give me a position. Let's cut to the chase. I'm smart, I have a 3.97 GPA, but beyond that I work hard. Feel free to reach out. Cheers!“

“This is restaurant that I have passed by many times and never gone in. Boy did I do a disservice to myself! My husband brought me here for my birthday and when we entered, it was the cutest restaurant with Rattan everywhere and wallpaper on the walls and neon signs. And you look through the windows and there's beautiful Zuma Beach right across the street. our waiter treated us like we were old friends and had great suggestions for our group. The octopus appetizer is in a cannellini bean moose and it's so delicious! The portions are huge and everyone was too busy eating to take even one picture of their food the menu was a perfect mix between seafood and Italian comfort. They brought me the flourless chocolate cake for my birthday and it was delicious but hands-down, the pistachio tres leches was out of this world and like nothing we've ever tasted before! That is a dessert that I will dream about and come back for! Can't wait to be back in Malibu so I can come back to the restaurant and try some of the other food!“

“Recently came to Malibu and stopped by here to get a meal after a hike. Iv passed by here a few times before and usually go to broad oyster co, but decided I wanted to try something new. It's in a beautiful shopping center with other restaurants and can sometimes get crowded. The ambiance here is beautiful, inside and outside, so it's worth dining in! I got the Smokey bbq bacon cheeseburger medium well with fries. The burger was big, juicy and flavorful. It's defiantly a hefty burger so don't underestimate it. The fries are decent , could use more seasoning but they're still good! Prices are a bit hefty at $20, but it's Malibu and some of the cheaper options in the area. Definitely gonna try more stuff here after hiking !“
