Geoffrey's Restaurant

Amazing views. Such disappointment with the food. Sister had a Camembert/ pastry appetizer and I had a lobster pastry thing. Pastry soggy on both, both dishes way too much sauce. Two appetizers and two cocktails and valet parking $110. Madness. We could have said something I guess but it was a quick stop on our way to Santa Monica. First time in my life I didn’t leave a tip. When bill came we said it was disappointing and manager made aware but didn’t do anything or come over to help.

Fabulous views, wonderful waitstaff and food well presented but lacking full flavor. Would like to see more flavorful food at this gorgeous place by the sea!

We were asked at reservation time if there was a special occasion. I answered Yes, as it was my wife’s birthday. For the next two hours nothing was mentioned about the occasion.

Relax & enjoy the ocean view

The ambiance & view were absolutely amazing. We enjoyed the appetizers a lot! Dinner - not so much. Not really worth the price. It’s more like you’re paying for the view.

Nonetheless, I will be back next time for appetizers, drinks, & the gorgeous view!

Always great to be at Geoffrey’s but just wish that I would get that table on the corner for sunset viewing... it was a special night celebrating our anniversary and a birthday and I did request that table and my favorite waiter Hans. But did not get either! But food and service was amazing anyway. Thanks

Ambiance is incredible. The only the that would have made it better is if we would have had reservations around sunset or for brunch to really take in the view. It was still incredible, though. The food was delicious - beef carpaccio, tuna tar tar, oysters- everything was great. The cocktails are good, I tasted my friend’s Malibu and wished I would have ordered it. A few of us shared the lemon mousse dessert. It was denser than I was expecting, but very enjoyable. I was not prepared for the huge dessert portions! Desserts are definitely shareable. The price is a little steep, but the ambiance, views, food and service makes it worth every penny. Keep in mind you’re in Malibu. I would recommend this restaurant.

Amazing dinner, great soundtrack of waves as it’s right by the ocean. Dinner for two with drinks and an app and dessert will run you $200. Great evening!

The best part about this place is the location. Gorgeous beach below and the view is amazing. However, I felt the service was impersonal and rushed, and the food could have been better for the price. The food wasn't bad, it just was uninspired and mediocre. Dining area was too dim and if you're unfortunate to be stuck inside, it's loud. A little disappointed, expected more for a restaurant purportedly of that caliber.

Absolutely a great all around night. Everything was perfect from the food to the ambiance. Couldn't ask for anything more.

I really love Geoffrey's and was hoping I would have another great experience. However, I was shocked to bite into something grainy that was in my maine lobster salad. I poked around and noticed there was sand at the bottom if the plate. I informed my waiter and showed him the sand that was fully visible all over the bottom plate and yet he nonchalantly took the plate and asked if I wanted something else. That really killed my palate. I tried to cleanse it out with water but it really ruined my lunch.

If I said the food was average, that would be putting it nicely. My husband ordered a filet medium rare and when it came it was medium well on one half and medium rare on the other. It was unevenly cooked. I ordered the swordfish and it was dry. I’m used to eating at nice restaurants and I don’t mind spending money on food. This dinner wasn’t worth $40 let alone the $200 we paid. The only redeeming thing about this place was the view. It was our anniversary and I’m really bummed we spent it here.

5 Star all around

really nice view, I would like to visit again when sunset.

Everything was excellent...food, service, ocean view. We will go back for sure. Highly recommend this spot!

Very beautiful restaurant on the beach in Malibu. Service is excellent. A little pricey but worth it for special occasions.

Go to sit on table 19 , the small two top with the view ! The waiter was amazing and made the night even more special. Everyone was very attentive. Someone even went out of their way to turn on the heater lamp for me , to not be cold ! The food was delicious and the view was amazing like always ! Had the best date night ! Thank you Geoffrey’s!

Great view, polished attentive service, top notch!

Classy yet relaxed set up overlooking the water. Attentive service. Quite civilized. Good value for a tasty wagyu NY steak.

Geoffery’s was a real gem! The service was exceptional, the views were impeccable, and the food was delicious.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions as well a good place to relax and enjoy.

Great spot for a special occasion. its a little on the high price end so be aware of that ... Parking is $12 so look for a spot on the street for free if possible to save some cash.

The location is fabulous but the food underwhelming.

The sea bass was amazing. Our server was delightful. Great evening out with friends.

We were celebrating our 2 year anniversary and I made a special request to be seated in the patio area with a view. I even called twice when they wanted me to call back to confirm (waited both times for more than 10 mins to get someone on the phone). When we got there, we got a table that was suppose to be seated for 4 people and didn't have much of a view so we asked again to be seated next to the rail. After waiting for another 20 mins, we were seated only 2 table over and not near the rail. When we got to the table, the table was still wet. Our waiter then dropped the fork on me but she did apologize. Our food came in fair amount of time and it tasted pretty good. My paella was good but my boyfriend's sea bass was a little cold with cold tomato on top which was an interesting combination. Usually at any restaurant when you celebrate a special occasion, they acknowledge it, they might bring you a little something to celebrate the occasion . I usually wouldn't care or complain but they gave the table next to us a little bowl of ice cream for their anniversary but didn't say anything about ours at the end of the meal. And when the check came, they double charged us for the valet ($24). I was really disappointed since I've always had a great experience at Geoffrey's. I won't be coming back!

Perfect from the moment we arrived. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

We did not think the food was anything special. The location and view are amazing. Also, the restaurant does not do anything special for anniversary celebrations, i.e. take care of a desert for you which was disappointing to say the least. I thought the service was fairly good.

This is one of my favorite places for a special occasion. The food and service are great. Also has one of the best Pacific views.

Go there for the views. Food and service are OK for the money

Would highly recommend everything was great, view, service, food

I always love Geoffrey's, especially the lobster salad for brunch.

The restaurant, the service, and food was outstanding!!! Such a beautiful location, and food was exceptional!

Duke at the bar was great! Our server was also outstanding, I just can't recall her name. The food was excellent and the view was second to none. Great job Geoffreys!

The location and view were amazing. Wasn’t blown away by the food but also am not a culinary expert. So have no real gauge on if it’s worth the price. Steak dinner was about $60

A little pricy but Wagyu stake was worth it. Nice scenic view, and walk to the beach. Waiter was very nice. Booked a week in advance and they called two days before to confirm --- very organized. Looked like good seats were given to regulars or VIPs which made us feel very under appreciated.

It's a shame that the kitchen doesn't do justice to the beautiful setting and excellent service. Food was merely average, thus making it incredibly overpriced.

I came to Geoffrey’s by myself (traveling through California and on a solo trip for my birthday). I wanted a nice meal as part of the bday celebration. I ordered lobster wontons, the waiter came back and told me they were out of them-I was disappointed but ordered something else. Then as I was eating my main course I heard the table next to me order the wontons and magically they appeared at their table. Not sure why I wasn’t allowed to have them and they were but it put a bad taste in my mouth. I also felt rushed, like they were annoyed I was taking up a two person table and wanted me gone. I would have stayed and gotten desert and more wine but wanted to get out of there ASAP. Disappointed I spent good money there when I could have gone somewhere else and been treated better. Couldn’t find a manager at the end to speak to either, all of the hostesses were super young and unhelpful. Just because you’re young and dining solo doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the same level of service.

I have mixed feelings about this review. It was mine and my husband’s wedding anniversary. I really wanted to do something special so a friend recommended this place. We drove 2 1/2 hours to try this place. We were treated wonderfully. We were given a wonderful table with an amazing view. I ordered the crab cakes to start. They were tasty. Both my husband and I ordered their very expensive steak. That proved to be the wrong choice. We ordered them cooked medium. As you can see by the photo, they were cooked more towards the well done side. The meat was dry. We were so hungry that we just decided to eat them rather than complain. The sauce that accompanied the stead just tasted weird. Overall, we were very disappointed by the food. Our waiter was so nice though! I don’t remember his name but he has a voice made for radio or commercials.

Geoffrey's is an amazing restaurant that gives you exceptional views of the ocean in a serene spot in Malibu. Delicious food, great wine list, and a perfect spot for an anniversary.

Awesome , professional, friendly , great attention to detail , enjoyed our meal

Excellent food and good service and beautiful ocean view if you can get a seat by tge Water!
