Geoffrey's

Wow , this place was such a gem! Our waiter was so helpful and kind. He recommended his favorite vegan dishes and they did not disappoint. I got the churrotini, the burrata salad, the acai bowl, and the thai curry. My husband got the omelette. The view was breathtaking. The food was so deliciously spiced and decadent. All acai bowls will pale in comparison to Geoffreys! The staff was the best part- from the hostess to the valet to the waiter, everyone was so kind and helpful.

We were greeted by the wonderful host and confirmed our 530p reservation. My wife and I celebrated our 18yr wedding Anniversary and this place didn't disappoint. James was our server and he made our special evening much more personable. We have been to a lot of fine dining experiences but this one was just memorable. Everything was perfect to our standards. The seating, food, ambiance, view and most of all the service was spot on. If we had got there earlier we could have walk down to see the beach access. Definitely RECOMMENDED👍🏼and will comeback soon.

One of the nicest spots for a restaurant along the coast with views from almost every table. Had a very nice late lunch..The food was good and the being right on the ocean is terrific. The place itself is a bit dated, but still nice. Highly recommend the lobster cobb, which has a pound of lobster- much more than most lobster cobbs. The Asian chicken salad was also good. They have a nice selection of white wines by the glass. They would not seat me while my husband was parking, which was bit annoying because their parking was backed up, which does happen there when they are busy. Hasn’t been for a while and was defiantly a good choice.

My boyfriend took me here for a birthday brunch & we were both so happy with our experience. Staff were very attentive & helpful. The food was a little overpriced but it was very delicious and the overall experience made it worth it. The drinks recommended to us by our waitress also paired so well with our food! Not much of a drinker but I gladly had a second glass. Not to mention, brunch with a view was icing on top. We were also able to walk down to see the hidden beach tucked away down the steps after a lovely time at the restaurant!

This place is absolutely fantastic! The view is incredible, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food here is perfect, it’s not too salty nor bland; it’s just right! Jeez, even the bathrooms are nice. I highly recommend, 100/10!!

Great food! Great views! Excellent friendly service from the valet, the host, and the server! The Baked Brie Appetizer was so good. The Scotch Benedict with salmon was nicely served on top of a very soft croissant. The potatoes were perfectly cooked. The fruits were so sweet. Easy access to the beach via a short staircase down.

Great seafood options! The brunch and lunch menus have a little something for everyone's likings! The Paella and the Sea bass were our favorites. As always, we had had to get the Lychee Martinis! We'll be back here soon.

Geoffrey’s Malibu is an absolute coastal gem — offering stunning ocean views, exceptional service, and world-class cuisine in a breathtaking setting. From the moment you arrive, the ambiance feels luxurious yet relaxed, perfect for romantic dinners or special celebrations. The food is incredibly fresh. every dish is crafted with care. Watching the sunset over the Pacific. A true Malibu treasure — elegant, scenic, and simply outstanding.

Celebrated my 40th bday with a few people and it went great the food was delicious, the chilean sea bass . well the ambiance was top notch overlooking the pacific and .

Finally tried Geoffrey's for our anniversary brunch. The view and coastal ambiance are gorgeous, and the paella and coconut shrimp were the highlights. Service was fine but not memorable, and the hanger steak missed the mark for the price. Portions felt small for what you pay; overall value wasn't there. Parking is tight valet is $15 so plan ahead. Beautiful setting, but I'd return more for the scenery than the food.

Honestly one of the worst experiences I've ever had with completely awful food. I refused to eat here again after our first time here, but my girlfriend is more forgiving and tried to give them a second (and recently to my dismay, a 3rd...) chance. This is the final straw for the both of us. Her last time she ate there (this past week), there were literal pieces of shell in her eggs (pic below). The steak was made medium well instead of medium rare as requested and after she showed them the eggs with shells in it, along with the overcooked steak, instead of recooking both the steak and eggs, they only recooked the eggs. She noted that her avocado had some strange artificial lemon flavor added to it that made it unappetizing. The pico de gallo lacked flavor altogether. Upon this ridiculous mishap messing up the steak preparation and shells in the eggs, you'd think they would offer something as a condolence to this, but they shockingly offered nothing, which was pretty bewildering. There are a ton of great places around the Malibu area, this one should be AVOIDED at all costs, as they clearly only care about your money and not about the experience you have dining with them. We won't be returning again. PERIOD.

the service was nice and the view was gorgeous but the food was mediocre and very expensive. if you don't mind paying an arm and a leg just for nice service and a view then by all means try it. but if you want a quality meal this wouldn't be my first pick. definitely worth trying, but as for returning, questionable. our "medium rare" steak was more rare than anything, there was a nice crust on the outside but the chef probably focused on that more than cooking the meat to customers liking. the oyster mushrooms that topped the steak was so salty, practically inedible. lobster didn't absorb the flavor of the sauce and was just steamed and topped with sauce. overall not bad, but you could get much more and better quality food for $300. on site parking is valet - $15 added onto the dining bill.

Geoffrey's is the perfect place for a celebratory meal with a beautiful view. This place is both elegant and casual (but not too casual). The ocean views from the outdoor deck are amazing. The food does not disappoint either. For starters, we shared a Caesar salad and the tuna tartare. The tuna was divine. I ordered thr 16 ounce ribeye with brandy peppercorn sauce. The sauce complimented the steak really well, and the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. The sides included tasty red skinned mashed potatoes and Caesar Brussels sprouts. I wasn't sure what the Caesar Brussels sprouts would be, but as it turned out it's like a Caesar salad with Brussels sprouts instead of romaine. I washed the meal down with two Not So Old Fashioneds, which were classic old fashioneds with rosemary. With five-star views and food came five-star service. The servers were great, helpful, and very friendly.

Title: Extremely Disappointed After 20 Years of Loyalty As a local and loyal customer of Geoffrey's for over 20 years, I've celebrated countless milestones here with family and friends. However, my experience today, on my own birthday, was deeply disappointing. This was the first time a birthday celebration was planned for me at Geoffrey's, and sadly, it turned out to be a disaster. We were seated at an uncomfortable table with minimal ocean views and heavy foot traffic from the waitstaff. When we noticed a better table available, we politely asked to be moved but were told it was being held for a party of five. That party later turned out to be a group of three, waiting on two more guests. When the table next to us opened, we asked again, but it was given to a tourist family instead. Despite asking multiple times, no effort was made to accommodate us. We brought our concerns to the manager, Sharon, several times. Each time we were met with excuses instead of solutions. For a restaurant that has built its name on exceptional service, this was incredibly disheartening. We waited over an hour for our food, while the table seated well after us was served before us. When we asked why, the manager said we had ordered too many appetizers, which was simply not true. We had only ordered one watermelon salad and had specifically told our waiter to place the order right away since the children were hungry. Later, we were told the delay was because my salmon had to be remade. The explanations were inconsistent and dismissive. We ordered pasta and chicken for the kids, my salmon, and French toast. The food was good and helped offset the experience slightly, but it did not make up for the poor service and lack of hospitality. What was most disappointing was that after everything, nothing was done to acknowledge my birthday or make the experience feel special. Not even a dessert was offered or comped. When I mentioned that I would likely leave a Yelp review, the manager simply said, "Go ahead and Yelp," with a dismissive tone that showed zero care for guest satisfaction. As someone who works in hospitality and understands ADA and fire hazard protocols, I was particularly disturbed by the excuses given for denying a simple table change. I hesitated to write this review because of how many wonderful experiences I have had here in the past, but this one cannot be ignored. Management needs to be reevaluated. The level of service we received today does not align with the standards Geoffrey's was once known for. At this point, I don't think I would go back. And to my Malibu family, we may need to reconsider this place altogether.

Beautiful place with views that make you feel like you're in Maui. They have a couple vegan options. I ordered the watermelon salad (no cheese) and the vegan curry with added tofu. Happy they have some vegan options to have with a nice view. Been here a couple of times and the service is always exceptional.

Terrible service. We had a reservation and when we got there, there were so many empty tables but they sat us in a blocked view. We noticed other tables in our section was all colored customers.

For years I've wanted to try Geoffrey's, and we finally made a day out of it while celebrating a graduation. Located right next to the beach in Malibu, you'll get a gorgeous view of the water - wasn't too hot with just the perfect breeze. They have a nice bar with a good alcohol selection. Bar was open seating, so we grabbed a seat to enjoy a drink while they prepared our table. We came for brunch, and they had a nice menu selection. Their Paella was good - packed with tasty seafood and meats - I was pleasantly surprised by how much they put inside. And the broth was delicious - complimented the dish well. Their Grilled Hangar Steak was terrible. It was like the steak had been kept frozen, improperly defrosted, and quickly cooked ... Definitely not enjoyable, especially considering how much you're paying for their meal. Plus, the chimichurri was some of the worst we've ever had. It might have been busy, but that's not an excuse for poor food preparation. Parking is valet only. You might be able to find some form of street parking, but it's not going to be easy, and it might not even be close. Definitely make reservations. They do take walk-ins, and if it's not busy, not an issue. But we came right after a local graduation, and the restaurant was busy. Overall, I'd come here for the view and ambiance. Drinks were good and worth it, but not so fantastic I would come back here for them. For the price we paid, I would've expected the food to be a bit better.

, the ocean views were absolutely breathtaking--like something out of a postcard. The entire atmosphere is relaxed but elegant, with just the right balance of upscale dining and coastal charm. We went on a Sunday, and despite it being a popular brunch day, the service was seamless. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server made fantastic recommendations and kept everything flowing without ever feeling rushed. The salmon was delicious watermelon mag was great too. We walked down to the beach after brunch since there is a little path down to the water right from the restaurant.

Visited here for my birthday dinner and made a reservation in advance. The outdoor space is quite big and I wish we called sooner for a table further away from the building to take in the full view. This was our first visit and didn't know what to expect, but it was quite busy (March). We didn't venture much around Geoffrey's but I can tell you the food was great and our service was outstanding. I'm still dreaming about this Crème Brûlée... I hope to dine in again on my next visit to Malibu

Party of 2 for my hubby's birthday. Arrived early for our reservation so we hit the bar. Mary made me a magnificent Espresso Martini. For dinner we were sat at a great seat and Dee Dee was our wonderful server. She was great. Our food was really good. Atmosphere was great. View was spectacular. Definitely worth it.

This is definitely my go to place for a romantic dinner. The views overlooking the ocean are just as you would expect when dining in Malibu. This was our 4th visit and just as with previous visits, the food did not disappoint. We started with a pair of martinis (Raspberry Lemon and Passion), to accompany both, Seared Ahi Tuna & Crab cake dishes. We then proceeded to enjoy their signature Paellas! Great dinner, perfect company and the right location make for a memorable dinner. Perfect views, great service. I highly recommend this venue!

My husband and I loved Geoffrey's so much the first time that he took us here again for our one year wedding anniversary!! The service was fantastic, food was amazing each time, and the views and ambiance are always incredible!!

some friends and I had lunch here the other day and it was beautiful looking at the ocean and eating delicious food. The service was wonderful. Our waiter, I can't remember his name, but he was so funny and charming (and helpful) telling me to try the tomato chutney with the coconut shrimp - it really was incredible. I highly recommend this place.

Geoffrey's in Malibu is a great spot for brunch with stunning ocean views and a relaxing atmosphere, but the food is just okay and the service can be a bit slow.

What an amazing evening! If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion or just celebrate a sunset-this is your place! We stopped in at 5:00 on a Monday. The outdoor patio was pretty full and we were given a lovely table next to the glass. We could see the ocean and in another month we would have had a perfect view of sunset. There are patio heaters making g for a perfect temperature. Our waiter was fabulous-giving suggestions for our dinner and explaining where our food was sourced. Now-the FOOD! My risotto was very creamy and the swordfish is prepared in a way in which it had a smoky flavor. Scallops with risotto 10/10 Swordfish 10/10 Crab cakes 10/10 Wonderful wine list and cocktail options. Hubs lives a good dirty martini with stuffed blue cheese olives. He was thrilled when he was presented with 3 extra olives in the side. There is valet parking $12. We opted to park on PCH and walk down the driveway as we were in a bigger vehicle. 4% gratuity added for staff.

Incredible service! Quick, friendly, attentive. Ambiance was chill, few people which made it an intimate dinner. Views are incredible. Party of 2 @ 8 PM on Wed night. Saw sunset. The bread/butter delicious. Ahi Tuna Tartar was sweet and sat on top of avo's w crispy chips which was incredible. Def recommend. We added surf/turf of which the filet mignon was incredible. Chef Rec. medium rare... it was one of the best filets I've ever tried. Shared both w my wife. Did not give 5 as the sides are preset. Would've loved a Mac/cheese option. If you are in the LA area def do it for a date night.

With a long history of celebrity visitors and even affairs between Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, the location of present day Geoffrey's established itself as a landmark of Malibu. While people rave about spectacular views, Geoffrey's is more than that. It's a place that embodies the town of Malibu in ways that few places embody their location: it's luxurious and classic at the same time. It has a presence of a place that is timeless in many ways. A heavy portion of the menu is dominated by fresh seafood, from scallops to salmon and sea bass. The preparation of the signature sea bass is done to absolute perfection: delicate, minimal seasoning and focus on pure essence of the fish. The wine list is priced very reasonable, with many bottles landing at 2-2.5x upcharge relative to retail. People who work here are attentive and professional in every aspect. It is certainly not cheap and this is not a restaurant to experience breakthroughs in gastronomy or Michelin star service, yet Geoffrey's has it's incredibly solid place in Malibu for ability to deliver an old school sexy vibe alongside classic, tried and delicious dishes with a view that rivals that of celebrity houses along the coastline.

I am convinced this place discriminates. Mother in law was in town and we wanted to show her around Malibu and they gave us a reservation over the phone everything was great: we went very early around 3ish and when we got there the host said. We only have an hour to sit since we were planning on only doing drinks and some appetizers as we had dinner plans for way later. We also hadn't seen the menu so we didn't know if we'd want actual food. (Food looked great and actually ordered lots of food) But prior they try and seat us at a table that wasn't as pleasant. Not seeing the view. When the restraint had maybe 2 out her people there. They saw we were Mexican and just seemed like they didn't want us there. They kept saying "you only have an hour" It was disgusting.

We stopped here while trying to find parking/beach access. Valet is $12, which imo is fair because it's a beautiful slightly tucked away restaurant with such a quiet elegance and refinement, yet it was relaxed and inviting. It had an indoor bar and mostly outdoor seating on a charming deck with a stairway leading down to the beach. I only stopped by for a glass of wine before tanning but the menu looks delicious and I want to go back to a proper meal. The bar manager helped me select a glass of wine, a luscious yet slightly structured glass of 2023 Chardonnay by Far Niente in Southern Napa. It's one of the better Chardonnay's I've had this year. Great spot and great service.

The service is impeccable which is what you would hope for and pay for. From walking in to the waiters everyone was lovely. The views are stunning! But try and go when they open which is what we did and we were lucky enough to get a table by the ocean. The baked Brie I loved! The sauce with the green pea sauce was delicious and I hate peas. The steak was decent a little on the rare side (we got medium rare) but I prefer it like that. The seafood paella was okay. Not sure why I had high hopes for it as it's not a Spanish restaurant but it was FULL of peas and as I said I'm not a pea lover. Traditional paella (when we went to Spain) doesn't have peas in it so was a little disappointed but I still ate it and had a decent amount of seafood. Overall really nice experience but probably wouldn't come for brunch again. The menu is quite small and there isn't a lot of options.

Best view in the world! Ok - maybe not the world, but it is pretty darn amazing ! Food and service are excellent too.

Came here with my family for lunch to celebrate my brothers graduation and it was perfect for the occasion! We had requested a nice table when making the reservation and we were seated at a large table near the ocean view which was perfect for the vibes. The food was very good, especially the oysters. Our waiter was really kind and friendly and he even brought out a scoop of ice cream to celebrate the graduation which was really thoughtful.

Excellent food, service, and view. I suggest ordering several dishes in the afternoon and sharing them. In this case, you get what you pay for.

What a fabulous lunch we had, there is not one complaint, the food was fabulous, the table the best, and our server Kenny was there for all our needs. Imagine the weather being perfect, and both of us had their Lobster Quiche, which was great, and a plentiful salad that came with it. If I was to change one thing, it would have been, I didn't care of the Tomato Bisque they put on the plate under the Quiche. The Creame Burlee dessert was probably the best ever had. The reason why is, it looks like the normal creame brulee, but under the custard is chocolate mousse, which make the dessert exceptional and so delicious. Parking is a little bit of a challenge, the cost is $15 plus a tip for their very pack valet lot. If you could find parking along PCH you would be much better off. The charge that $15 to your bill in the restaurant, so it's paid for with your credit card with the meal. Views of the ocean, are amazing.

Party of 10, we were all looking forward to this visit! (At least I was - and if anything, I was looking forward to that view!) And they couldn't have put us at a better spot. We were seated almost immediately at arrival (we made it on time for our reservations despite the little hiccup about parking) at one of their outdoor corners overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. That alone made the visit so worth it! But we're here for the grub, too, so after we got done getting distracted by this fantastic scenery, we finally got it down to a few things. BAKED BRIE IN PUFF PASTRY: I think there were at least 4 orders of this on our table! All of them came out warm. Pastry was flaky, the Brie was warm and the pear chutney was a good palate cleanser. Recommending. SEASONAL OYSTERS: Hubbers and I split this, and they were freshly shucked. Only snag - there were small bit shells leftover and a couple of them weren't fully shucked. I'm guessing the kitchen may have been a bit busy. GRILLED PACIFIC SWORDFISH: My choice of main. Plating is beautiful. Fish was grilled and topped on a bed of bacon bits and sliced potato wedges (not-so hashed like the menu description stated) and topped with really fresh arugula. Generous with the size of the fish, it started off soft and flaky, but the more I got in the middle, the more it got a bit tough and dry. It was also under seasoned. (Hubbers agreed.) The jus reduction helped a bit, but not enough. [And to be honest - my first instinct was to go with the sea bass, but since there were other peeps on my table getting it and willing to share bites, I went with my second choice. (I should really follow my gut feeling!) But the few bites of sea bass I got was ON POINT! Fish was flaky, seasoning was perfect... who am I kidding: that dish was amazing!] FILET MIGNON: Hubbers main and ordered it medium rare. Boy, that plate looked good. And delicious! Now if it were prepped medium rare (vs medium as it was served) it might have been closer to perfection. (I advised Hubbers to tell them - just so they know - but he didn't wanna dampen the good mood we were all in.) Flavor was on point, though. FOOD: 3.5. SERVICE: 5. Our server and her backup were so sweet and welcoming and accommodating. No snags there. VALUE: 2. If you're on a budget, either save up or this place might not be for you. It is a bit pricey, especially for the slightly disappointing quality on our main dishes. PARKING: Valet for $15. They get really busy, I suggest allocate a few minutes for it. OVERALL: 3.5. Better than average experience overall. Food was good, but really, it's the view and (more importantly) the company that did it. Second visit? Possibly, if only for the Brie pastry and the sea bass.

Geoffrey's Malibu is OUTSTANDING. My wife's son treats us to the wonderful meals at this gorgeous Restaurant. A must whenever we are in Malibu or SoCal. HUGE thumbs up!!! Highly recommend.

10/10 Food is great serves are extremely attentive , food comes out very fast .. great views great ambiance.. Oceans Views .. this is one of those spots !!

Ambiance is a 10/10. We didn't have reservations but staff were really kind and seated us by the glass wall for the view. No5 my first time here and I can say that I have consistently had an amazing experience with their level of service, attentiveness, and quality food. Such a great place to e joy a delicious meal and watch the sunset.

We've been coming here since I was a child, and recently came to celebrate a milestone birthday with family. It was honestly so awful we will never come back, and that's over 30 years of celebrating holidays and birthdays here with family. It felt touristy, and very non personal. We had a small child with us who is a picky eater, and we just asked if he could get another slice of watermelon since he didn't like any other part of his dish- the answer no, they allot only for each piece that needs to be served and don't have extra. After spending over $500 in what felt like a tourist trap and leaving with a hungry child, we won't be back. What a massive disappointment.

We had a great experience! We had a reservation and when we arrived they seated us right away, the food was fresh and very tasty. The view of Malibu coast is the selling point. We would definitely come back and visit them again

This restaurant is legendary !! Pulling up you are quickly engaged by a valet. You only wait but a minute or two for the maître'd to seat you while introducing you to your waiter. My wife and I had brunch so the menu was fairly flexible. We had the Sautéed Maine Mussels as an appetizer then followed by the Grilled Filet as my main dish, while my wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was impeccable !! Wifey had her favourite Crème Brûleé while I had a double Blanton's neat. The view was awe inspiring ! Truly a culinary celebration that will never be forgotten. Please keep in mind that reservations are recommended. You will not be disappointed !! Salute !

If you want to experience a delicious Malibu seafood dinner with an amazing and tremendous view of the ocean, come to Geoffrey's. Be prepared to spend some money. But it's worth it. The ocean air, the view, the service, the delicious Dover scallops, the moon rising over the water and lighting up the waves with its moonlight... What more can I say? This is an amazing restaurant. Staff is friendly and efficient. Lunch is every bit as fantastic as a Saturday night dinner. Make reservations two weeks in advance. Put on something dressy-beachy and go live life to its biggest and best.

5/5 view on that patio, service was ok, food was mid. We visited around 5:30 on a Sunday evening, they seated us early (reservation was 6:00) at a very nice spot with good view. It took the waiter ~10 mins to come drop off the menus and another 15 mins to come get our order. We ordered drinks - which were completely forgotten and we never got them. Spicy Oysters: 2/5. Tiny in size, mostly flour, the oysters were salty and the sauce was kinda tasteless. Mussels: 4/5, good but nothing "wow". Fresh. Seafood Paella: 3/5. Tasted fine, but the shrimps weren't cleaned. The intestines were still in there filled with poop (see picture attached), kinda unacceptable for food priced like this. Parking is $15 for valet. You don't have other choice unless you're super lucky and found a spot on the street. Not worth it. Food was 2 stars at best. +1 star for the view and view only. Server had nice attitude but he repeated the drinks we ordered yet he forgot them entirely.

We had childhood friends visit from the east coast and took them to Geoffrey's, one of our favorite special occasion and out of town visitor spots. We were seated in a gorgeous part of the outdoor patio, with the pacific ocean right in front of us. There are stairs leading directly down to the beach where you can end your delicious meal with a stroll on the beach. The service was impeccable. The waiter was attentive and informative, without being over bearing. We were there for lunch, before we could ask, and as soon as the sun was shining over our table we were asked if we would like the umbrella up....such great service. The food was all delicious. We had the watermelon salad, salmon salad, crab benedict and crab cakes, along with a few glasses of sauvignon blanc, which the waiter brought out a few samples to help us make our choice. Took a walk afterward on the beach and overall had a specular afternoon at Geoffreys.

I've been to Geoffrey's Malibu for brunch and dinner, and both were a fantastic experience. Their service is top notch and the food is outstanding. The ambiance is amazing especially for brunch in my opinion. Although I loved dinner, my preference is to go back for brunch because of the gorgeous ocean view. I can't wait to go back!!!

A great experience every time we visit. We celebrated our Anniversary here and also had dinner here on our wedding night years ago. Outstanding service , breathtaking views overlooking the ocean. The food was delicious as usual ! Come here if you have not yet ! It's a must !

Made reservations for 1:30 pm on a Friday. We parked on the PCH (be careful, lots of fast cars!). Make sure you use the stairs as you head down to the entrance. The valet lot was pretty tight, with numerous fancy cars. We were greeted immediately and sat on the balcony outside. The tables closest to the view were taken but we were very close and the ambiance was still so nice. It was a bit hot in August but there was a breeze every now and again. There was also plenty of shade. My friend decided to order the sunset smoke to drink. For food my friend got the chicken picatta and I got the lump crab cakes and the hanger steak medium rare. I initially wanted to order the jumbo coconut shrimp or mussels as an appetizer but our server, Will, changed my mind when he said his favorite were the crab cakes. The drink was ready quickly and tasted yummy. I've had better smoky mezcal drinks but it wasn't bad. The lump crab cakes came out fast too. While good, I didn't think the sauce they came with added much flavor. The hanger steak was great. It was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. The chimichurri didn't have a lot of flavor and the scrambled eggs weren't seasoned at all. The avocado and salsa provided some freshness but not much flavor either. I ended up dipping my eggs in my friend's chicken picatta sauce which was savory and creamy. He agreed that the chicken wasn't special but the sauce was good. Interestingly, they were served with blanched or partially steamed carrots. I personally think it would have been better if they were roasted. The food overall was fine because of the weak flavors, however it was good quality. I would come back to enjoy the location. I would try other items on the menu instead of getting the same thing and hope that the flavors are stronger in the other appetizers and entrees

Geoffrey's is one of our favorite restaurants. We live in NH and when we visit our son in Ventura we always stop and have dinner. Thr food, ambience and wait staff are all excellent.

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine's Day dinner and Geoffrey's was so special. All the servers were so attentive and friendly and there's not a bad view in the house. They had a set 3 course menu for Valentine's Day, and everything we chose was delicious. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.

Always a pleasure going here day or night! Weekday or weekend! Holiday or none! Love the atmosphere, love the food, and love the service! I always go with my two dogs and my sister and they have never said no to us ever! The manager there is wonderful he is very gracious and accommodating, the staff from the front to the back are wonder! They always ask about if we need or want anything for our pups too! For a high class place they are wonderful! Love this place view is spectacular .....

We made reservations for Saturday brunch on Memorial Day weekend. We were the first one seated and had the best table in the house. The view is gorgeous and we were able to see some seals swimming through. The restaurant itself is very clean and has a beautiful layout. The service here is excellent. The food is delicious. We started out with a latte and a lava flow. The coffee was nice and strong and the lava flow you could really taste the fresh fruit purée which I appreciated. They brought us some fresh rosemary rolls and usually I don't eat the bread at restaurant, but I could not resist. The aroma of these rolls was so tempting I just had to try them. The rosemary was subtle but detectable perfect balance in the bread.. We had the baked brie appetizer. My only complaint here is that the middle of the brie was still a bit cold. It could've been cooked a bit longer, but it was a luscious plate and the sauce on the plate, I couldn't stop eating it. Then we had the chocolate chip French toast and the quiche. The chocolate chip French toast was loaded with chocolate. This dish did not disappoint. The quiche, I ordered without sauce because I do not like capers, and it was one of the most delectable quiches I've had exploding with flavor With the perfect ratios of all the ingredients I wish I wasn't so full because the food was so good. I would've loved to try the dessert but we will be back.

The evening was beautiful. The ambiance was perfect, but for that price, the food was only good. Not fabulous, not spectacular. Just good. Disappointed. Our server was very good as well as the second. But unfortunately, again the food was only good.

We came here for an engagement brunch. The views were fantastic and the front staff were all extremely friendly! I would say the downfall was the food and waitress we had. Unfortunately the waitress was very pushy on ordering more food and ordering drinks so we didn't enjoy that aspect of our brunch. The food was also just ok. Neither one of us really enjoyed our meal and felt it was easily something we could've made at home so the price just wasn't worth it for us. Definitely paying for the views.

Celebrated my daughter's 27th birthday. Absolutely amazing! Parking is easy, valet, leads you straight in to the restaurant. We had waterfront seating, weather was perfect and the views were breathtaking. Service and food was impeccable. Manager Sasha made us feel right at home. A perfect place to celebrate occasion with good ambiance and delicious food.

We pulled in on a busy holiday weekend (without a reservation) and gave the car keys to a FRIENDLY VALET who had amazing driving skills, considering the steep parking lot. We were greeted by four darling young people as we entered. They were fun and sweet and, to our surprise, they FOUND US A TABLE RIGHT AWAY. We noticed PLENTY OF OCEAN VIEWS from almost anywhere in the restaurant and were not disappointed with the table we were given. The FOOD WAS FANTASTIC, especially the Scallops, which were probably the best I've ever had. They were super fresh and cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the Thai Salmon salad and Coconut Shrimp. All delicious. KUDOS TO THE KITCHEN STAFF. The HARD-WORKING WAIT STAFF was friendly and efficient. Our waiter coordinated with the kitchen on the timing of the courses and they DIDN'T MISS A BEAT. The appetizers and main courses were timed out perfectly. ADAM made sure to check on us regularly and we couldn't have been happier with his attentiveness. I hadn't been to Geoffrey's in many years and am so glad we decided to go that day. I won't wait so long to return. It was the highlight to an amazing day in Malibu!!

I've been to Geoffrey's several times and always loved it, but sadly, this last visit was a huge letdown in terms of service. We had a reservation and were seated promptly, but then waited over 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. I was seated directly under the sun, and when we asked the server to adjust the umbrella, he dismissed us and said I should just move around until the sun went away. Not the kind of response you expect at a restaurant like this. We ordered bottled water, and when it arrived, there was a fly in the glass filled with ice. My husband pointed it out, and instead of replacing the glass and re-pouring the bottled water, the server took the glass and returned with tap water. Unacceptable. Then we ordered a steak to share and clearly said it was to share. The server didn't ask about slicing it, so we assumed that was standard. It arrived unsliced. When we asked for it to be sliced, he responded, "You should have told me when you ordered it," without offering any help. Again, not what you expect at a fine dining spot. The food was excellent, which is the only reason this isn't a 1-star review. But the service this time was genuinely disappointing and felt careless and dismissive. Geoffrey's usually delivers a fantastic experience, but this visit missed the mark completely.

I'm pretty tight when it comes to five-star reviews and this one rounds up from a 4.5 - not at all perfect, but highly recommend. Arrived quite early for a 2pm reservation and were seated faster than we could get a coffee in the front bar. The restaurant is open and airy with multiple adjoined patios. Still packed with lunch patrons we were given a very desirable table against the glass railing nearest the seaward view. Service was prompt, friendly, professional, and personable. The Americano and cappuccino as well as the regular coffee were all good. The rosemary bread rolls with whipped butter also good. Appetizers were the crab cake and coconut shrimp. Both very well designed/balanced. Entirely delicious. Tried the corn chowder out of curiosity and it also was very good. Scallops and paella for the entrees. Again very well prepared. Beautiful quality seafood and sauces. Well portioned. We also tried two of their mocktail offerings and both were excellent. A pricey lunch at $250 out the door - but that won't be the reason I'll remember it. Wonderful experience. ...The $12 valet charge was conveniently added to the bill. I like that.
