Best restaurants near me in Topanga, CA

It was me and my boyfriend’s first time coming here, and we wanted something special for our anniversary and it was a wonderful experience! Everyone was nice but our server was especially very kind and attentive. We got the calamari for an appetizer which was delicious and cooked perfectly. I got the tilapia with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts, and my boyfriend got the shrimp with scallops and mashed potatoes also and we loved it all! Our favorite part was dessert, we got the butter cake and it just melts in your mouth. It was perfect and we can’t wait to go back!

Had a great time dining with my wife at moonshadows. We started at the bar and worked our way to our table. The staff was kind enough to sit us by the window. Great views of the water and great food to go with it.

Wow! What an absolutely incredible experience at Mastro’s Ocean Club - Malibu. I had heard some mixed reviews of service in the past, but the new GM, Rob Lacey, must have really turned it around because my family and myself were blown away. The service was impeccable, and our server, Casey, was fantastic. I need to meet the chef because the food was perfect in every way, and we tried a little of everything. My family had been visiting for the holidays, and we had very nice, expensive meals around LA and SD. But this one quite literally took the [butter] cake. My father even said this was the best meal of the trip by far, and it wasn’t nearly as pricey as some of the other dinners we had. Not only was the ambiance, service and food top notch, but the view was also spectacular! I will absolutely be returning…frequently, even though it’s quite out of the way for me. They even had the cutest little piano player/singer, who sounded so good that, when my brother asked if the music was live, I quickly shot back that this was studio quality and no way it could be live before realizing it was, in fact, live. On top of the GM stopping by our table, I saw him make and effort to approach every single table in the restaurant, which was quite busy considering the time of year. 10/10 recommend

This was our favorite restaurant, with great, well-priced food, a welcoming team and staff, and lovely ambiance. Unfortunately, because of the new landlord, it appears this local treasure will be closing its doors for good on December 31, 2024. So sad for the local community, the patrons and the excellent, dedicated staff, who we hope find a new place where we can come and support them. Grazie mille e buona fortuna!

Great views, delicious food, ample portions, and reasonably priced. Not going to lie… My favorite part is the hula pie. Love the macadamia nuts with a huge slab of high-quality vanilla ice cream sitting on a chocolate cookie crunch, but it is that hot fudge that puts it over the edge. OMG. The absolute best.
