We went here last Friday and oh my gosh!!! Very good. We had Jenna as our server, she was knowledgeable of the menu and the market prices on all of the entrees. We enjoyed the music and the atmosphere, it seemed a little small for the dining room, but not an issue, just an observation. I highly recommend reserving, because we could never walk in on a weekend they're usually busy. We got the New York strip topped with chimichurri, and the spicy sausage penne pasta. Absolutely superb! They say you get what you pay for, and boy did we pay good money for a great dinner. We will be back Malibu!
22nd birthday dinner was great! Had a great meal and the creme brûlée. All of the staff was very friendly. Good dinner before going out for drinks.
Took a wee trip down to Bloomington, IN this weekend and we had dinner at Malibu Grill. Despite being an Illini, I must say Bloomington has a much cuter downtown with a lot more options to go out and eat than Champaign . The portions were huge. The tuna had a melt in your mouth texture. The hollandaise sauce on the salmon kinda made me feel uncomfortable, but was still very good despite the pale yellow color. The focaccia bread looks like it was store brought bread with a side of Rao's (which don't get me wrong, I love Rao's) but put that $6 bucks towards a different app. The service very nice and a great location to start hitting the bars after for a nightcap.
In town for business and stopped by to eat at the bar... I never go to places back-to-back, but it was SO good... here I am! Server: Natalie (extremely knowledgeable and outgoing) Bartender: Jace (makes incredible handcrafted cocktails!). The menu does not do the food justice... it is incredible and so is the Service! Even when it is busy, the ambiance is still relaxing and enjoyable! Highly Recommend... and I may be back for a 3rd visit!
The service was a little slow but they were super busy! Our food and drinks were absolutely phenomenal and were most definitely worth the little wait. Such a fun and relaxing atmosphere!
