Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Malibu

The setting is beautiful and the food and service are great.

My third time there, the service is always good but tonight our waiter appeared like magic whenever we needed something and the food was super good as always. 

Being in from Boston for a quick holiday trip, we were pleased this place was open on a Monday for lunch. Valet parking, quick & polite for under $10. Hostess quickly seated our party of 3 in a covered, sunken garden terrace type dining room . Comfy seating but the youngish crowd was pretty noisy. We are older but I didn’t feel over dressed in my black blazer. The room and the attractive crowd would have been a good setting for a Jeff Lewis or Housewives episode. I got an Amalfi Blue ($16) good, tasting, fizzy lunch cocktail that didn’t leave me pulverized. Casa Lena Burger($18) was delicious. My wife got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich ($24) Looked like big portions, and our guest had the Steak sandwich, also big & she brought half home in the restaurant’s distinctive take out bag. Panettone (it’s Christmas time) and Passion fruit sorbet. Perfectly prepared . The attentive service people were professional and striking looking.

Very creative and tasteful food. Friendly staff. Overall ambiance was needed here in Calabasas. Cabarnet(s) from the owner’s family winery is also very nice.

We're staying at a condo nearby and saw this place during a quick stop at the grocery store located in the same strip mall. Small plates were delicious and service was very good. Read it was a local neighborhood fave and can see why!
