Nicolas Eatery

Nicolas Eatery is a hidden gem! The steak was cooked perfectly, juicy and full of flavor, with crispy fries on the side that hit the spot. Service was warm and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made the whole meal even better. Definitely a spot worth coming back to when in the area.

Nichola’s Eatery in the Beverly center is a cute spot to stop at after you work up an appetite shopping all day. We had a refreshing margarita with Tajin rim to start. Next was the beet salad which was also fresh and tasty. The chicken salad sandwich was nice, but the Ahi Tuna burger really slapped. The wait staff was sweet and if you sit near the windows you get a nice view of West Hollywood on a sunny day.

Open restaurant in Beverly Center. Nice guy with pretty eyes seated us. Ordered the Beverly Burger and tuna burger rare. Everything was really delicious and cooked as ordered. Broccolini sub was a little on the cool side but was still tasty. Drinks took a little longer than expected but we were told the bartender made a mistake and had to remake so that was understandable. Recommended!

My Belgian husband and I discovered Nicholas Eatery by accident during my vacation stay in Malibu over the Thanksgiving break as we were searching for a nice breakfast spot. After reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. We typically share meals but when we first tried Nicholas’ French toast..Wow!! We were blown away. The perfect balance of flavor and quality of ingredients along with the presentation was on target. We then ordered another breakfast entree. Again, the eggs were soft scrambled, seasoned with herbs to perfection. The coffee was freshly made and the OJ was squeezed fresh like in France. Of course, we came back for lunch on the same day and enjoyed the French Onion Soup - the best I have ever had and I have had plenty in Europe and other fine restaurants. Not salty or dark or overly cheesy…again, the balance of flavors and ingredients reflected a lot of passion in Nicholas’ cooking. Next, we had the lobster roll which was very nicely presently with freshly seasoned lobster and quality sauce atop a nicely toasted brioche. I couldn’t stop taking pictures and sending them to my friends and family. My husband enjoyed the deviled eggs which at every bite was heaven and the herb roasted chicken which also was juicy and tasty. Next day, had to try the avocado toast after seeing Nicholas’ preparation on Instagram. Needless to say, I have brought my daughter back the following month for French Toast and was just back for Christmas this week while on route to join our friends in Santa Barbara for some wine tours. An important stop there on the way was Nicholas Eatery and we reserved dinner on the way back as well. Another delicious experience for dinner with their seafood pasta - “Michelin star quality”. The mussels ceviche, escargot, and seafood pasta was top notch as you can see from the attached pictures - so fresh. We have eaten at Maestro’s Ocean club in Malibu and Bouchon in Santa Barbara ONCE, don’t bother going there to waste your money or time. You will be sorely disappointed after experiencing Nicholas Eatery. Thank you Nicholas for the wonderful food, exceptional staff service, cleanliness, and passion in cooking. We will be back and I hope this review serves others well as they will not be disappointed. Much love, The Pennewaerts.

This was our first visit, and what a delightful surprise! From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Chris — the rare kind of server who strikes the perfect balance between attentiveness and friendly conversation. Too often, service feels robotic, but Chris brought personality to the table, and we loved that. The food? Just as impressive. The cheeseburger was a standout — juicy, flavorful, and exactly what a cheeseburger should be. The French omelet was buttery and delicate, and the side salad? Impeccably dressed. And let’s not forget the view — for a spot in the mall, it’s surprisingly scenic. From this vantage point, people-watching reaches a whole new level. A wonderful first impression all around!

A French-American family-run restaurant located in Malibu. The food was excellent with great hospitality services. I had mango mousse for dessert and it was so delightful. It was slightly sour and sweet and yet so refreshing. I’m not sure if this is seasonal or there’s always mango mousse in the dessert menu, but if you have any chance to eat at this place, try it. I’m not a big fan of desserts but for this mango mousse, I highly recommend.

looking for food in Malibu we came across this restaurant, we decided to have dinner here, as it turned out it was the best decision of the evening. The place is inconspicuous, but with the possibility of eating outside or in the middle of the kitchen, it is impressive. food was delicious, Burger was perfectly done chips also fish and pasta too. service at the highest level and attention to detail made a great impression. I heartily recommend this place for family dinners, dates or social gatherings

Nicolas Eatery at the Beverly Center is a hidden gem. The menu features fresh, high-quality ingredients with standout dishes like the flavorful grilled salmon and perfectly crispy truffle fries. The ambiance is modern and relaxed, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner. The staff are welcoming and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. If you’re at the Beverly Center, Nicolas Eatery is well worth a visit!

My husband had a doctor's appointment in the area and had to grab a quick bite. This place was recommended. Wish we did not have to rush through lunch. As always being small eaters we shared The Beverly Burger. I also had a cappuccino. The burger was huge and you have to open your mouth pretty wide . We've never had a burger with Pastrami before. It was truly delicious. The restaurant is right off the escalator s which was good when in a hurry. Very nice and bright. Service was also amazing.

I ate there last weekend and it's a NO for me. The drink I ordered was $16 and barely contained any drink. I also ordered spring rolls, which took forever to be served. I noticed people who showed up long after I did were served quickly. And they weren't relegated to the limited menu items on the paper menu that was passed around. No place mats. Barely received a place setting. No napkin or coaster under the drink. Just very poorly run. The spring rolls were good. I'm not a peanut sauce fan, but that peanut sauce made those rolls. I actually wanted an espresso martini and settled for another drink. I had no clue they could make an espresso martini, because no one bothered to tell me they make drinks outside of the 6 or so drinks on the paper menu. Then I saw a lady order an espresso martini. Again - NO. I expect more and better.

Sadly this was the worst bowl of chicken pho I've ever had. Chicken was chewy and overcooked, broth was bland. However the service was friendly and attentive, food came out quickly, presentation was nice and the view from my table was great ... +3 stars. I really want to like this place since it's a good location. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing.

Excellent! I had the most wonderful lunch the other day. I ordered the Ahi Tuna burger. It was beyond delicious! It was not only cooked to perfection but filling as well. The fries were crispy just the way I like them. The table next to me ordered a cheeseburger and spring rolls. I'll have to try those the next time I'm at the Beverly Center.

Better than decent dining experience at this French-Vietnamese inspired restaurant at a price that doesn't break the bank. The Tuna Burger ($17.00) came with a generously portioned tuna steak cooked medium rare, artichoke heart, tomato, greens, olive tapenade served in a bun. Thuy's Pho ($20.00) was prepared with rice noodles, Thai basil, chili, lime, cilantro with optional beef. Both entrees were prepared with fresh, good quality ingredients. Proportions were also generous. We took home enough leftovers to make a second meal later in the day.

Beautiful view , delicious food ! Nice and kind stuff. We were first time here and stopped there after our shopping. Worth it.

A quaint and charming french restaurant in Malibu. The servers were all friendly, replenishing our water changing our plates and utensils around, and even putting on romantic (how?) birthday music just discreet enough not to be embarassing but joyful on my occasion... hehe). Definitely knew how to make a girl feel special with a delightful creme brulee at the end. Bibb salad was awesome. If I ate this everyday I'd be satisfied and healthy. It's no wonder the French look so great. The bread had a little kick which was good for me, not great for my date. Olive spread was a little on the salty end. Chicken was good. Would have gotten the moules frite but they ran out of mussels. had the lobster roll as well, and I was that impressed with that to be honest...lobster meat was ample but the consistency and taste just didn't fit well with the bread. It was probably the bibb salad dressing. Their fries were good!

Delicious view in a nice space with a view on the side of the mall. Service was fast because the restaurant was pretty empty. I got the lobster stir fry and that was pretty tasty. Not a bad spot to check out while shopping but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.

What a great find! I had a quick bite but it was delicious, my first onion soup. It felt like a bistro in France. I also found out that it's a family owned restaurant. They carry a beautiful line of tablecloths and great gifts ideas all imported from the south of France! I will stop by on my next visit :)

New restaurant at Beverly Center atop the best views of LA!!! I stopped by for a quick bite while I shopped and ordered the fried chicken sandwich that came with fries. Everything came out piping hot, the chicken was juicy and flavorful and the fries were PERFECT. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu - they even have a full bar with wine and cocktails!! The space is absolutely gorgeous with great lighting and the best views of the hollywood hills. I was greeted immediately upon entering the space by the sweetest hostess. I love a family owned restaurant and love this addition to the mall! See you soon Nicolas Eatery!

Ordered the roasted chicken as recommend by the waitress. I'd give it a 4/5. Some parts of the chicken (inside) tasted dry. The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery. Overall, not bad but not amazing either. Overpriced but we are in WeHo, but nice thing is Cedars employees get a discount, so thankful for that and it made it reasonable. Presentation was beautiful. Friendly service. Overlooks La Cienega as it's located on the 6th floor. Worth checking out for yourself.

I would give Nicolas Eatery a five star review even though the overall menu and food do not constitute a really high level culinary grade. The environment, the vibe, the service, and total experience certainly make up for it. The food is actually quite good also. I was in the area for a wedding and needed to find a restaurant close by for a Saturday lunch with two other ladies who were also from out of town. Yelp was really helpful for finding good places in unfamiliar areas. We had a lot to catch up and ended up staying for a long time (about two and a half hours) in the restaurant. It has a lot of natural sunlight, and feels very cozy, comfortable, and welcoming. They also have a rooftop patio if outdoor dining is preferred. Two of us ordered their lobster roll which came with French fries, and it was really good. I especially enjoyed the lightly toasted warm brioche. There was a generous amount of lobster which was fresh and tasty. The fried chicken sandwich that my friend had also looked delicious. Service was very attentive and warm. Water was constantly being filled and we were not rushed even though we stayed for a long time (the restaurant got busier as we sat but no one was waiting for a table). It was a wonderful and really pleasant experience!

Nicolas Eatery is my go to for lunch. I love their delicious omelet, perfectly cooked with the creamiest cheese and the baguette is chef's kiss. This is a family-owned eatery and the owners are from France so it's truly authentic French cuisine with a Vietnamese influence from their chef. I also love the French onion soup and Eatery bowl. You can't go wrong.

The Nicolas Bowl with Chicken is a MUST! I will be coming back weekly. I got the bowl with a side of fries and I couldn't be happier. SUPER FRESH

This is my first time visiting this restaurant, and it will be my last. The server here is very rude. The server was aggressive informing me, and my children that we could not be there without any explanation as to why. I asked her why. She told me that they were carrying outside food. I'm getting disappointed because we are ordering food for takeout not for dining in. But, she wasn't listening. She is racist and we feel discriminated. I hope she gets fired for being unmannered and discriminating against us.

The fries are crispy just the way I like them and absolutely delish! The chicken burger has a generous amount of chicken encased in a wonderful brioche bun. The server is friendly and efficient. This is a great place to regenerate while shopping!

I came here for lunch today and ordered a medium rare steak and frites. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the fries were tasty. Our server was very attentive, even though he was working by himself.

Love this place!! Food and service are top notch!! Wine and cocktails, wonderful. The chef has delicious selections that you will have you coming back again and again.

Hooray - A laptop friendly evening spot with a great view and AC. Delicious food, friendly staff. Great spot for a drink and email catchup. Here it is LA! Beverly Center no line.

Had the pleasure of trying this wonderful restaurant on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The seating is cozy yet comfortable, with an inviting ambience full of pleasant energy and a welcoming atmosphere. Floral arrangements filled with tulips and roses adorn the bar, kitchen, and tables, adding to the already lovely decor. The service we received by Sebastian was fantastic, and his recommendations did not disappoint. We started with an exquisite potato/leek soup and enjoyed it alongside the refreshing goat cheese salad. For mains, we ordered: avocado toast, French Boursin omelette, Rocky's farm roasted chicken, and the lobster roll. Everything was delicious and the only thing I regret is not trying the dessert. Certainly looking forward to returning!

Pleasantly surprised with how authentic the Pho is! I even have basil l, bean sprout and red chili pepper! My coworkers said their food is amazing too. Nice clean open space with beautiful view of LA. Server is very attentive too. Can't wait to come back to try other menu items, especially escargots!

One of my favorite undiscovered breakfast places in LA. Sit at the kitchen bar. It's fun to watch people who love what they do working their craft. Quiche is to die for, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like quiche. I got the French Toast, my wife got the quiche. Both as fresh as can be. Highly recommend. Also, go early on the weekend to enjoy the PCH drive.

My go to for lunch! Very friendly service, good food and reasonable pricing. Tasty margaritas as well!

It is a beautiful restaurant right across from the ocean. We sat at a table on the rooftop patio and enjoyed the summer breeze. There is a bar upstairs so you will not be waiting long for service or drinks. The waiters were amazing, they don't designate tables upstairs, we were served by both of the waiters. We absolutely loved the service, knowledgeable on the drinks and dishes and gave wonderful recommendations. The food was overall delicious. We ordered the gem salad, the bread with whipped eggplant, the tuna nicoise, and the branzino. The salad was good but do not expect a salad with variety. It is a simple salad of Bibb lettuce with chopped scallions. The bread was crusty and soft inside which was perfect, but the whipped eggplant was not what I was expecting. The consistency was very watery and it was something I wouldn't order again. I do want to try the olive tapenade next time. Both main courses were wonderful. The branzino was light and flakey dressed with a beautifully subtle sauce to compliment the fish. The tuna was a deconstructed Niçoise salad without the lettuce and I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into this dish. It had the perfect amount of olives and tomatoes tolling a perfectly cooked tuna steak. I will definitely dine here again and excited to try other dishes. If you're looking for a beautiful, quiet, relaxing restaurant with great French bistro cuisine, definitely give this place a try.

Beautiful small eatery in Malibu on PCH. Menu offers a blend of creative items (loved their pasta and corn soup) and traditional staples (like the hamburger). The charcuterie board was a wonderful treat! French onion soup and steak were both on point. The glass box dining room was beautiful but the patio in the back was the charming spot - albeit pretty windy and cold. Some fence or hedges might help. Service was great - very attentive staff and the owner greeted us personally.

I am so happy to be back home and to eat at my favorite restaurant! I have waited so long to review, that it occurred to me that I was subconsciously hiding this gem to myself. My high praise for Nicolas and his team is not only for the Michelin-star-quality food, wine and service, but because I always feel like a part of the family, greeted by name and a warm smile. I highly recommend the French onion soup to start on a cold rainy day like today, the fresh salads are light and beautifully presented, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. When the weather is nice, sit upstairs at the bar and enjoy the sunset over the beach. Oui Chef!

Located on the 6th floor of the Beverly Center with stunning views of Los Angeles, the food at Nicolas Eatery still manages to shine. Escargots: perfectly tender morsels of garlicky goodness Beverly Spicy Stew: the fish was so fresh and cooked so perfectly and the red curry sauce was a perfect complement that did not overwhelm the fish Deviled eggs: perfect blend of dijon mustard in the creamy yolks Quiche: hearty portion packed with mushrooms and cheese, just as delicious warmed up for a snack later in the day! French lobster role: a generous portion set off by perfectly cooked slices asparagus, butter lettuce, and a buttery brioche bun Cheeseburger: high-quality meat, perfectly done Chicken salad: generous portion of perfectly moist chicken with just the right amount of heat Chocolate mousse: rich enough to share with the right balance of bitter and sweet Frais sauvage: a new take on a French 75 with a lovely blend of gin, champagne, and strawberries The staff is attentive and eager to please with impeccable service under the eagle eyes of the owners who are clearly dedicated to make the dining experience wonderful from start to finish. Despite the incredible quality of the food, the vibe is relaxed and it's a great place for a casual family meal. Combine the impeccable food, service, and ambience with reasonable prices-- it's amazing to finally have a great dining experience in the Beverly Center!

I was walking around the Beverly Center shopping with my family, when I stumbled upon this restaurant. I wad first attracted by the wonderful big windows and nice ambiance. Unfortunately that's what drew me in. Service was awful. It seemed like the blind leading the blind. My table was dirty when I sat down. No one really greeted us. Sure I get the prices given the space, however I expected better food. The food tasted old and was not well put together. Plates looked rushed and had no real flavor. I have no problem with prices like this, but when it tastes like this. It makes me think I should have just taken my family to a fast food place. In a space like this you need to improve. I doubt they will last very long given how pricy the area is and the lack of forethought in dishes, presentation and food. My little one threw up in the car ride home. He only had the chicken... Improve soon or let someone who deserves it have this space!

Convenient location in Malibu to quickly eat at or do takeout for the beach. Got the veggie banh mi which was okay but not great. Fries are good! Came on a Saturday for a late lunch and it was pretty empty

I have received the worce service here! The server brought spoiled milk for my wife coffee, first he was refused to change it, at the beginning, he said this is fine I said taste it and he took it back the milk I had to yell at him to come and take the coffee, the manager got involved and said " please be polite with my friend (server)" the manager asked me where I'm from!!! Dude, this is not your business asking me where im from! Go fix your ice machine! Also the ice machine was broken!! The manager said he understands it is hard to receive good service in Los Angeles, including them!!! Stay away! Don't let the location fool you!

Our family came to eat brunch and it was such an underrated gem! Service was great, food was 10/10, bathroom was really clean. I got the nicks scramble and the French toast, and everything was superb. Definitely recommend it as a place to check out if you're in Malibu!

Nicolas Eatery REVIEW: The chic French bistro offered the cutest to-go charcuterie board arrangements for our picture perfect Paradise Cove Picnic. The assortment was varied enough for everyone, and paired well with the crisp white wine. Despite the adorableness, there was some concern for lack of attention to detail expressed regarding allergies. Also, personal preference but group vote that there was just a litttleee too much horseradish in the caviar deviled eggs, and would forgo those next time. The ñy have a parking lot! Which is a rarity along the 1. FOOD / DRINKS: Charcuterie board ft. varied cheeses, dried fruit, breads, and nuts. Baked brie, jam, & walnut sandwiches Caviar deviled eggs House white wine

This was my first visit for a late lunch with my cousin although I've admittedly done some drive-bys admiring the exterior aesthetic. Lol. Located adjacent to a (or 2?) shopping malls with ample parking, you can't miss it on PCH due to the wood and glass exterior. The inside is a clean and inviting California coastal beach aesthetic and the vibe is friendly, warm and inviting. I was immediately greeted upon entering which made me feel at ease as my cousin was running a bit behind schedule. Although it is not listed on their website or on menus in the restaurant, they do have espresso-based coffee so I promptly ordered a latte and Deviled Eggs appetizer while I waited. The latte was cute with its leafy design and the eggs were uniquely delicious, the capers were a tasty touch. For lunch, I ordered the French Boursin Omelet (which came with fingerling potatoes) and my cousin ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich (which came with fries) and a lemonade. We agreed, all were tasty and satisfying and we were both full at the end. French cuisine, elevated with a California influence, light and pleasing to the palate is how I would describe the food overall. I would return to this family-run restaurant as I enjoyed the overall experience from food to friendly service. Pleasing, relaxing and no hiccups. Environs which are relaxing are a big plus. Tip: they do have "Specials of the Day" so be sure to ask!

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. I'm just sorry I waited so long! I brought my friend, the illustrious Dr. Willa Olsen, for a pau hana, aloha Friday dinner. What a great way to end the work week. First and foremost let me say that the service was fantastic. Everyone was super kind and extremely helpful. Second, let's talk food. I am beyond taken by this little place in the middle of Malibu. The two appetizers we ordered were delicious. Definitely order bread with your escargot so you can sop up every last bit of that olive oil, butter, garlic and parsley goo. Also, the bread is a fantastic vehicle to shuttle the mashed up avocado, caramelized onion, pine nuts, olive and shrimp appetizer into your pie hole as well. For dinner we ordered the steak frite (the fries were nice and crispy, just the way I like them) and Washington State Arctic char. So good. So so good. I'm pretty sure we were unknowingly moaning with every bite shoveled into our mouths. We did get the dark chocolate torte with almond ice cream and apricot for dessert. I would like to try the other delectably desserts on my next visit soon.

I had an amazing experience at Nicolas Eatery, and Matilda played a huge part in making it unforgettable. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her warm, welcoming attitude made me feel right at home. The food was fantastic, and the service was impeccable - all thanks to Matilda's dedication. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend asking for her if you want to have a top-notch dining experience!

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the Getty Villa. It's very conveniently located nearby, in a small shopping center. Nicolas Eatery definitely punches above its weight - the menu items are deceptively simple, but so well executed. All of us were impressed with the wine selection, the food and the service. The fish dishes were particularly fine (tuna sandwich, lobster salad, and salmon). And the fresh strawberries with cream and Grand Marnier that we finished the meal with - oof, divine stuff.

I would describe this dining experience as overpriced food that fell far short of expectations. Nicolas Eatery doesn't have many options on the menu, which is usually a promising sign. A simple menu offers much opportunity to spotlight what you do well. I ordered broccolini and a Le Burger. The broccolini came with 5 slivers of thin, flimsy pieces. It was drenched in oil and had bits of raw garlic with chili flakes on top. The head of the broccolini was only slightly crunchy while the stems were oddly rubbery. Pretty disappointing considering that you can get triple the portion in a delicious serving for the same price at Mastro's down the street. The Le Burger was confusingly bad. At first look the burger bun was soggy - not a good sign. I took one bite that unknowingly would be my last. The burger was drenched in grease. I ordered a medium and this burger was 100% cooked well done. When I took apart the burger I found that every component was greasy - the lettuce was completely wilted and drenched. The tomatoes drenched in grease. The biggest surprise though was that the burger didn't come with pickles, but a small mound of cucumbers. It felt incredibly bizarre to see them on the burger and while I didn't eat them with the burger I struggle to imagine that they would have complemented the dish nicely. The burger did come with French fries which were over fried and far too salty. I couldn't eat more than 4 of them. Nicolas Eatery is so close to my home and it would have been lovely to add them to my rotating list of go-to restaurants. Sadly the only thing that I want from them is a refund for the meal that I ultimately ended up throwing away entirely.

Matilda was the greatest!!! Thank you for your customer service and for your french fries:) I'll come back again

Fantastic authentic French food, fast pleasant service and all at a very good price. I will be back with my family. For my money this is one of the top restaurants in all of Los Angeles. It's that good!

While strolling around for a cup of coffee, we stumbled upon this restaurant. Upon browsing the menu, we couldn't resist stepping inside. The overall experience was exceptional, offering delightful French dishes in a sleek, contemporary setting. The attentive service added a touch of professionalism at an affordable rate. This place is definitely worth a visit whenever we're in the area. We would willingly undertake a 30-minute drive just to return.

The description is highly misleading. It is inside of the mall. A rooftop patio? Hardly. Maybe a nice place while you are shopping. However just to get to the restaurant going through the mall up this elevator, down this escalator. Way too much. Sorry we left.

The service is poor. Clearly certain clientele are valued more than other. I paid for Valet just to come up and get a dessert to go, and I was sitting waiting to be served. Another woman walked in and as soon as this customer walked in they were taking their order and helping them. It's really sad how some customers are invisible/undervalued compared to others. I will never spend money here again.

What an amazing little eatery. The menu is limited but we found a handful of healthy, fresh items which was exactly what we wanted. We didn't leave anything on the plate. The lobster Benedict was very tasty and full of meat. Both yolks were runny. My husband really enjoyed the Salmon tartine. It had a ton of salmon on it with fresh onion and capers. We really enjoyed the house coffee and latte. Neither were sweetened. It was truly a delight to stumble into such a great space.

The place is bomb. We had the Lobster Roll here last weekend for the first time here and it was great. NIce menu options in the cool place. Everything is a little pricey, but the food come in good portions. Nice waiter we had serve us. Lobster is good fresh out of the ocean. I love this place.

Steak was slightly overcooked but was still very good. Tuna tartare was okay, boyfriend didn't care much for it. Lobster roll was extremely good. Ordered a Bloody Mary, wasn't too good. Think the mix they use isn't one I care for. Staff was very friendly. Very welcoming & clean restaurant.

You know how you wander into a charming restaurant and get to enjoy unhurried service and the company of your guests at the same time? Well, this was not one of those places for me. I called ahead around 5pm on a Sunday night and the host assured me that they were not busy and it would be no trouble to accommodate my party of 3. It seemed to be smooth sailing when we arrived not too long thereafter as it was very quiet in the dining room with one other table of two occupied. But as soon as we were seated, it seemed as if I was being hurried to order. I hadn't even really looked at the menu, washed my hands, thought about wine, etc. After all, I was expecting a little more of a relaxed pace with this being a French restaurant. After delaying with a glass of wine (2016 Couteline-Merville Bourdeaux @ $20 per glass and delicious!), we finally decided on some starters: French onion soup ($14), Escargot de Bourgogne ($18), cheese and charcuterie ($28) and the country bread and house made butter ($10). All classic French fare and done well. The starters were dropped to the table at the same time with some urgency it seemed. Perhaps this is why our attentive, if not friendly, server seemed to be rushing me which was a common theme in our evening. Even as we were into our starters, we were asked a number of times if we were ready to order our entrees. Finally, I gave in and put our orders in. Once we were done with our starters, our table was cleared, crumbs evacuated and then our mains were dropped at the same time. Geez. I felt like our check was coming at any moment with the obligatory, "This is here for you whenever you're ready, no rush!" Steak frites ($38) and Moule frites ($28) again standard French fare and done well. No complaints about the food at all. We ordered well but can't quite understand what we did wrong if anything to be hurried along. We were dressed as "beachy" as everyone else and ordered about as much if not more food and drink as everyone else. (The aforementioned party that was next to us nursed waters, split a starter once another 2 people arrived, took a photo and held their table of 2 which became 4 for way longer than we were there!) Dessert sounded too good to pass up and ended with crème brûlée ($12), chocolate torte ($12) and the berry cobbler ($12). All of them were great and all devoured like everything else we ordered from the menu. Again, the food here is the star. I am still scratching my head about what it is I walked into here that made what I assumed was going to be a relaxed dinner seemed like a rushed production from start to finish. Still friendly, but not sure what was going on.

Obsessed with the Eatery bowl, pho and French classics like the onion soup. it's the perfect spot to grab a drink and a bite while shopping at Beverly Center. Nicolas and his team are very talented and friendly. Great quality meats and seafood. The lobster stir fry is phenomenal and I recommend the Mezcal Negroni.

Wanted to update my review with some photos of the food and florals Nicholas Eatery provided when they catered our wedding. All their hard work and attention to detail truly made our day complete. Thank you again, Nicholas, Lucas, Sebastian, Fazilet, Chrystian, and team for everything!

I've eaten here several times for breakfast. The food is yummy. Portions are generous. Service is great. When you're inside it's nice, but hard to hide that you're in a parking lot off of PCH. The parking lot and the cars streaming by is definitely part of the vibe. But inside is nice. There is a courtyard in back that is sweet. If the weather is nice, I suggest sitting outside. The scramble is yummy. The French toast is also good if you want dessert for breakfast. I'll keep going back here because there really aren't that many places in Malibu where you can get breakfast.
