    Delicious food! The lobster roll and omelets had the freshest lobster. My daughter loved the King Crab legs. The fries were yum. Service was lovely and of course - the view next to the window was stunning. We even saw dolphins! I will go back!

    Great views, delicious food, ample portions, and reasonably priced. Not going to lie… My favorite part is the hula pie. Love the macadamia nuts with a huge slab of high-quality vanilla ice cream sitting on a chocolate cookie crunch, but it is that hot fudge that puts it over the edge. OMG. The absolute best.

    Our family Christmas plans changed last minute and we were looking for a place to get a Christmas Day reservation. We had the Prix Fixe Brunch Menu and it was spectacular. Everything from the bisque to the tuna tartar and crab cake appetizers to the filet and salmon entrees was wonderful. The view was, as expected, a fabulous ocean view, and our server, Wilson, was impeccable and made our experience even better. We cannot wait to go back again.

    Devyn was extremely hospitable and welcomed my family with holiday cheer! We were seated in a beautiful location to watch the waves crash the rocks, and had immediate assistance when we asked to turn on the outdoor heaters. But, most importantly, service was timely and delicious and our experience was outstanding! This was our 1st time at Moonshadows as we celebrated our holiday family lunch!!! This will now become an annual family tradition, and anytime in the Malibu area, would love to dine here at Moonshadows! Thanks a ton for the experience!
