Restaurants near Topanga State Beach

It’s winter, and we had a table by the window. Watched sunset and the beautiful colors in the sky and in the waves. And the sound of the waves added another dimension.  This kind of atmosphere and scenery is rare, and that’s why we would come back. Whereas the food? It’s OK. To us it seemed overpriced for the quality of cooking. For example I had a filet mignon, which was more medium done than medium-rare, not much flavor in the sauce, the mashed potato rather bland. The quality of the meat seemed excellent, very tender, but also that’s spinach was boring and a bit of overcooked. So I think in summary, if you want to come for an atmospheric romantic night and enjoy the scenery, this is the perfect place . The service was wonderful.

First the view of the ocean and the open windows to listen to the waves made the experience so enjoyable. Second, our waiter was delightful. He even asked if we had any allergies to foods. Recommend Dukes for any occasion.

Fantastic service. Food was top notch. Highly recommend this location. The one downtown is a bit too loud for my taste. The ambiance here is amazing. The music was a perfect volume level where you can hear everyone at the table and the music at the same time.

The Penthouse offers a very nice breakfast menu. The omelette are big, the burrito is delicious, the fruit was very fresh. The restaurant was very busy, but our server was attentive and provided everything we asked for. The hostess welcomed us warmly and we got a window table just like we requested. The Penthouse provides beautiful views of Santa Monica and, if you are lucky enough to get a window table that provides a view of the ocean, the view is spectacular.

I have been waiting years to experience the Getty Villa Tea and it exceeded my expectations! Everything was lovely.
