The 15 Best Restaurants In Malibu - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Whenever we need a break from the chaos and congestion of LA (as well as this century), we take a drive to The Old Place. Up in the Santa Monica Mountains, it’s located on the grounds of a 19th-century general store-turned-saloon and steakhouse, complete with wooden fixtures and a Wild West aesthetic not unlike Pioneertown. The menu changes every so often, but generally involves American comfort staples like bone-in ribeye steaks, mashed potatoes, and glorious fruit cobblers. There’s full service in the dining room Thursday through Sunday, or you can eat outdoors, which is more of a to-go operation where you grab a bench and watch flocks of peacocks stroll the grounds." - brant cox, sylvio martins
