If you talk to anyone worth listening to in LA social circles, you'll undoubtedly learn that Geoffrey's is one of the hottest summer social scenes in Malibu. Occupying a quiet strip of PCH lined with parked cars and nervous valets, the restaurant is removed from the busy road on dramatic cliffside bluff with180-degree views of the Pacific. A yoga-minded selection of background music hums in an interior dining room and sprawling outdoor patio that moves from restaurant to lounge and back to restaurant again for late summer dinners and the occasional marriage proposal. The crowd varies between well-read tourists arriving in their white rental cars to Porsche-packing locals who arrive in well-pressed Irish linen and Louis Vuitton flip-flops.
The Food
From a well-placed table on the summer terrace, the food at Geoffrey’s doesn’t even need to be good to enjoy this magical beach experience. A seafood-leaning menu of lunch and dinner specialties includes oyster platters, pricey by the pound lobster entrees and daily selections from local fish markets. The lunch menu is on the pricey side, with entrée salads hovering around $20 and heartier meals even higher. The menu mixes in pasta, risotto and the occasional chicken dish with a creative collection of sauces and accoutrements that take the menu away from the expected.
Last Word
Sexy Malibu restaurant and lounge located on a dramatic Cliffside overlooking the Pacific.
