   The only good part of this restaurant really is the view. Other than that, I wouldn’t waste your money here… and if you come, it will be wasted here. Yes the portions are bigger, but the quality/ flavor isn’t there. Very mediocre and bland. They should focus on the quality of their recipes rather than crazy portion sizes. For one salad and one burger runs you about $70 dollars. Don’t forget the $15 parking fee to park your own car in a big lot. The only decent part of this restaurant was relatively friendly staff thankfully.

   The food is really good. The location and overall atmosphere is the best! Wish the staff would check on you a little more; but they are very nice.

   Once is enough. Three of us had breakfast and mimosas- $200 bill then they scam for another $15 to park. WTH! Lots of options for better food with ocean views. Pass on this one.

   We started out by walking the beach and picking up shells from the rocks that we ate the next night. Then went into the restaurant and had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Everybody was sharing their food. It was a real nice experience.

   The casual, picturesque setting, the sound of the ocean and the views of Paradise Cove make the dining experience very memorable. Our waiter was very friendly, and we were not rushed, which we appreciated comparing with other restaurants.

   Excellent restaurant great food great service beautifully location and the price was decent. We had the hot combo which was too much for just the two of us. My wife had a pineapple drink which she loved I had a cup of clam chowder plenty of clams in every bite. Our waiter was prompt and very friendly. The only thing that put a damper on the event was an older man who when we got up after eating and we’re wandering outside on two separate occasions within a minute informed us we had to get a host to seat us. This was after we already had permission to take our drinks outside. Otherwise a strong 4.5 stars

   The scenery is gorgeous of course! But the food isn't very good and there's always some kind extreme noise issue! I happened to be seated directly in front of a window that was being worked on! Drilling and hammering all though my birthday lunch! I was very upset !

    I don’t typically write reviews but I look at them when booking dinners. Very disappointed with our meal yesterday. Guacamole, zero taste . Burger okay. Never did bring me the mustard I asked for. Pasta not great either. Won’t go back. For 171.00 for the above and 1 Mai tai. complete waste of money (and 10.00 to park)

    Had to make a stop here after leaving LA from the Elton John concerts, I had the mahi mahi and my sis got the salmon, everything was amazing! And don't forget to try the mile high chocolate cake...phenomenal! Sat outside in the sand and the views are just amazing! Dolphins out in the water was definitely an added plus! Always try to stop in here when traveling south. Love it here!

    We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary at the Paradise cove beach cafe and it was amazing. Breakfast on the beach enjoying the ocean smells and sounds couldn't have been any better. The service was over the top and staff was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

    Love the outside tables at Paradise Cove. My only complaint is the parking. They now charge $10 on the weekdays even if you are dining at the restaurant. I think if you are dining the parking should be free.

    The service was too slow for the restaurant not to be crowded. We ordered the fish & chips and were told it was enough for two people. After seeing these LARGE portions of calamari and other items being served to other patrons we anticipated our order would be the same. It was not!!! The fries were enough for two people but the fish portions were two very small pieces. The price paid was definitely not worth the value. This restaurant is extremely overpriced!!!!

    Grossly overpriced for what you get. $5.95 for bread? A salad large enough to feed six people? $15 to self-park? Yes, it's on the beach and the food is good but dinner for two including one rum drink each, splitting a salad, bread and two pieces of salmon shouldn't cost $220 including tip. For that I'll go to Mastro's.

    I don’t know what’s happened to this place but the last three times I swear to god have taken so long for food and drinks to come out and now the quality is just plummeting the only thing worthy of going to paradise cove for is the view the clam chowder and the drinks what a shame what’s happened to this place very lousy service I spent over $300 for decent food thankfully the drinks kept me happy

    Honestly, everything was up to par. From the waiters to the ambiance to the food. My Fiancee and I had bacon and avocado burger along with their mega lobster, muzzles, shrimp and clam mix. (A mix much to big for either of us) luckily, our waitress provided us with to-go containers. Definitely will be coming back.

    Paradise Cove has a great location. Food is great but kind of expensive. The biggest gotcha is parking IF YOU DON"T EAT THERE. With validation it $10 weekdays and more on weekends. No validation parking is $45 weekdays and I think $55 on weekends. So moral of the story is.... Eat there, great ambiance and food... if if some has a birthday a monster piece of cake that's really good.

    Chicken on salads was rubbery and inedible, along with being overpriced. Two chicken caesar salads, an order of fries, and a tip should not cost $100. Also tried to overcharge for pricing when we only were at the restaurant and didn’t go to the beach.

    Prices were much higher than shown on the menu in their website. Very pricey but they do give large portions. Quality of food was good. Also parking is extra but they allow you to stay at the beach for a couple of hours. Good beach view. Wear shoes for sand as no floor- just deep sand.

    As usual, paradise cove does not disappoint. Sitting at the outdoor area, watching the ocean, no better spot in Malibu. Food delicious. Fully priced but it is like an admission charge to have a spot at the beach. $15 validated parking is a bit much but you get 4 hrs. $65 without validation. Highly recommend this spot. Not many right on beach.

    Although I have lived in Malibu for 20+ years, I have only dined here a couple of times; always thinking it is only for tourists. But, after last nights dinner, definitely coming back more often. Really loved the place, even as a local : )
