    Spanakopita
    Miriam F.

    We came here to celebrate my sister's birthday! We were not super hungry, but wanted to try out some appetizers. The ambience is fantastic. Definitely not the best acoustics, and it's one of those situations where you basically have to yell in order to communicate what you want to say and l strain to hear what your friends or family are saying lol. But besides that, everything was fantastic! The dolmas really stood out to me. They are not your typical dolmas and are incredibly flavorful and just really delicious. I was tempted to order two. When you sit down, they will bring out some fresh bread and their house dip. The house dip is dairy free, but very creamy and fluffy. I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor, but it was still good. Got the spanakopita and it was packed with spinach and definitely tasted incredibly fresh. My sister and her boyfriend enjoyed the fried calamari. It was a little bit of a bummer that they didn't do anything for my sister's birthday, but maybe it's because we didn't order enough food? Not sure. They do have belly dancers during the dinner time, so it can be a fun evening. Live music as well. Definitely a fun environment! Parking can be tricky, but thankfully, I lucked out. The area is really cool. Love the shopping area! There is no doubt I'll be back.

    Stopped by for Sunday lunch for the first time, and I was impressed by the beautiful setup and welcoming ambiance. It does get pretty busy on weekends, so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We ordered the moussaka, spanakopita, and chicken breast souvlaki--everything was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be coming back, maybe for dinner or even a special celebration!

    Hummus Dip

    Came here after a day at the Getty Museum. Since we were tired and hungry...instead of waiting 20 min for a table..we opted for the bar. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. Though the original bartender who served us wasn't all that attentive..took a long time to order and get things going...and getting our bill etc...the next bartender who came on was amazing... unfortunately we were leaving at this point... Food came promptly after placing our order. I got the chicken Shish kabob plate. The chicken was moist and the potato was really flavorful. The rice was also really good. We also had the olive /feta appetizer (really nice variety of olives w a light citrus oil), the hummus was creamy and good. The pita seemed like it was made in house-sooo fluffy and good. The house dip was a n out of the ordinary treat and ten sourdough bread was really fresh and delicious . (Comes if you get an entree)

    My wife and had seen a reel on IG about this place and since we are only 30 min away we new we HAD TO COME CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. We are so happy that we did. You will find Taverna Tony in Malibu near PCH 1. Beautiful restaurant with seating available indoor and outdoor. We had made reservations so we were seated immediately at the bar since we weee there for their happy hour. (Happy hour is Monday through Friday from 4 to 6). The happy hour is actually a very good one with great deals. We orderd the chopped salad, meze plate, and the calamari along with a draft beer and a glass of wine for $80 bucks. That's a great deal in Malibu considering the portions of food too. We absulotely loved the house dip and bread that came complimentary. Honestly that was the best dip of the house in our opinion. The meze plate was ok, however the pita was incredible. Chopped salad was very good and the calamari was incredible. We really did enjoy our meal and we will definitely come back again. Overall if your in the area, make sure to check them out. You defenitly won't regret it. Till next time.

    Fried Calamari & Chopped Greek Peasant

    I first came here with my boyfriend about a year ago; and was so blown away that I had to drive another 2+ hours for another visit! First off, the interior / exterior of the entire restaurant is GORGEOUS. It actually feels like I'm in Greece or something lol. I recommend outdoor seating! The service is pretty friendly and quick, overall had pleasant experiences both times with the staff. The food is what steals the show- especially the free bread and garlic dip appetizer. I've seriously never had garlic dip that bomb in my life. The calamari & chopped salad was also so fresh and high quality. The entrees that we got, steak skewers and the lasagna, was honestly just okay (steak was a bit overcooked and dry) and a bit pricey but the other food made up for it 100%. Overall I love this unique restaurant!

    Food is fresh, vibes are great and the staff is friendly. Well ran business. If you're in the mood for great Mediterranean cuisine, this is the place you go to.

    I had been wanting to try Taverna Tony ever since I moved out to L.A. My husband and I were in Malibu recently, and I finally had the opportunity to dine here. I was so excited, and the whole experience did not disappoint. For starters, the restaurant is so beautiful! The Greek Mediterranean decor is stunning, and the outdoor patio is such a lovely place to enjoy a meal. Our server was very kind and helpful, and he suggested that we try some of the most popular dishes on the menu. We started with the Famous House Dip (an absolute MUST) and homemade bread (the most perfect bread ever), then we shared the Grilled Octopus, Pastichio (a Greek lasagna), and Spanakopita (feta and spinach baked in a light pastry). Everything was incredible!!! We didn't have room for dessert, but definitely want to try the baklava and tiramisu next time. We already have plans to dine here again this month, and I'm looking forward to tasting some other items on the menu. Tip: Be sure to make a reservation, as this place is very popular, even during the afternoon.

    nope

    Is there a full bar?

    Yes, a really nice full bar,friendly bartenders, you can order food as well from the bar,and see the band from the bar.

    Is there a Corkage fee if you bring your own bottles-if so what is it?

    How's the live band?

    The music isn't bad. On normal/low crowd days it's a keyboard player with piped other music. On heavier night when they have a full band its very cool, they bring out a belly dancer and have a great time!

This week we hit our limit, and are thinking of canceling our membership. The waiters act as though you should be serving them and it usually takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes for someone to arrive at your table. Meals are drawn out due to the lack of service. The front desk hostess' could not be more unpleasant, dismissive, and rude. Also, the food is simply OK, nothing special, and priced exceptionally high for what it is. In terms of ambiance, the furniture is stained, mildewy, and terribly kept. The large dining room remains empty throughout the day since they don't allow computers, and everyone is crammed into a small area where "computers are allowed". Also the employees take up one of the best (more private) tables in the house with their computers and coffee (stunned by this). I spoke to a once prominent member who also canceled his membership for these same reasons. It's truly so sad to see a place with such potential, lack such basic needs.

I arrived a little early since she was limited on time, so I went ahead and ordered everything for us. I let our waitress know my friend was on a tight schedule, and she was so accommodating and made sure everything was timed perfectly so the food would come out once my friend arrived. I ordered the quinoa salad for my friend and the Greek salad for myself. We also shared the hummus and one ground beef kabob. Everything was very flavorful, fresh, and delicious. We really enjoyed everything we tried. The restaurant itself is extremely cute, bright, and inviting. When I first arrived, there was only one other person there, but by the time we were finished, every table except one was full--which definitely says something!

If you are choosing between the meats, this is the one I would recommend first. Ground Beef Kabob: Also very good and worth ordering. It came with a generous amount of basmati rice and a charbroiled tomato. Lava Special Salad with Shish Kabob: The salad had romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, avocado, raisins and walnuts. It was good, but the meat made the meal. Without the Shish Kabob, the salad would have felt underwhelming. Creamy Cucumber Dip: Basically essential. We were very happy we ordered it because neither entrée came with much moisture or sauce of its own. My only real complaint was the homemade salad dressing. The oil tasted old, which was noticeable enough to take away from an otherwise fresh salad. Overall, we really liked Lava Kitchen and would gladly return for the kabobs. The Shish Kabob is the move, and do yourself a favor by adding the cucumber dip.
