Dining at Paradise Cove  4 Star Rating - Very good

We recently had a lunch at Paradise Cove. It is a busy,hectic enviornment, but the food is great. Also, the view of the Pacific is great!

I would recommend the Ahi Tuna sandwich. It was great.

Literally right on the beach. Great selection of seafood, steak and pasta dishes. Full bar and a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Make reservations!

Beautiful scenic place to eat 4 Star Rating - Very good

A cafe right on top of the ocean, beautiful scenery, good appetizers and drinks but the fish I had that day was okay. It's expensive if you are not ordering the burger and fries. Very crowded, we had a 45 minute wait. We had people around us asking us to move so they can fit their huge group of people on a table that was too close to ours. All of the tables are very close to each other. If you don't mind a crowded place with long waits and 7.00 dollar drinks don't bother you either, this is a great place to eat at.

Pros: On top of the sand, loved the coconut drink, Calamari appetizer amazing, my choice for dinner wasn't that great
Cons: LONG 45-2 HOURS WAITING PERIOD, PARKING, CROWDED

Best Huge Cheeseburgers; Great Place to take Kids; They love it! 5 Star Rating - World class

My 13 year old grandson, Keith, had the time of his life. He loved his huge cheeseburger and fries plus his giant coke; our waitress was so very friendly and came to our table numerous times to see if we wanted anything more even though there were a lot of people for lunch that day. He then rolled in the waves on the beach with other kids, but, when he saw Miley Cyrus who had just come on the sand to film her movie, that was the finishing touch. His two sisters got some great pictures of her that day with his camera. All in all, it was an unforgetable experience for him and I loved it too. It's my most favorite place to take all my grandchldren.

Pros: Great whole beach experience
Cons: none

Not a better location 4 Star Rating - Very good

I've been to Paradise Cove several times and the place never gets old. It couldn't have a better location, and if it was any closer to the ocean, it would be in it. The food is good, not necessarily stand out, but definitely consistent and worth what you pay, especially for the view and such. I think breakfast there is actually my favorite rather than dinner. Definitely a place to check-out anytime you're up around the Malibu way.

Beat the Blues with this stunning Beach view 5 Star Rating - World class

My family and I have been going to this place for years for many special celebrations. The food is quality, the fish is fresh and uniquley presented whether pistachio or parmesean encrusted, and the location is lovely. It doesn't get much better than being right on the beach, and waiting for your table with peanuts and cocktails while sitting on chairs in the sand. This restaraunt is a prime destitnation for beach lovers who cannot pull themselves away from the beautiful malibu sunset. We held my mom's 50th suprise birthday party here and nothing could have made the occasion better or more memorable.

Pros: Location Location Location!- and of course great food and fish
Cons: on the expensive side

Packed on weekends, unimpressig food 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I went there on a Sunday and it was very packed. We were lucky to catch seats at the bar. It is certainly a rare spot because of dining and drinking by the ocean. Though it is a kind of chaotic and sloppy spot and the menu offers a very small choice.

Pros: Dining and drinking by the ocean...if you catch a seat
Cons: Ambience, menu, service
