    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
    Sunday B.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Disappointing. I've been hearing about this place for years and finally had a chance to try it. We were there for lunch on a Friday with a reservation, no issues with crowds or seating. Our waitperson was extremely inattentive to our table yet very attentive to others. We ordered the meatball appetizer which was so overcooked it was not enjoyable. spanakopita was fine. As others have mentioned, the food came out so quickly there's no way it was freshly cooked. I think the only reason people like this place is because of the free dip and bread.

    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.

    Had an amazing time at Taverna Tony a couple of weeks ago for my girlfriends graduation dinner. My girlfriend originally called in advance for the reservation weeks in advance and when we arrived we came later than the reservation. Shout out to the hostess for honoring a late window to us to arrive. When walking in I was blown away by the modern aesthetic and large tables for group dining. They also have a large outside patio. Starting off we ordered their Greek Salad, I think we got the Horiatiki and it was basically a greek salad but without the salad. The server said it's the Greek way to get it like this but it was just tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, olives and dressing. Wasn't a big fan of this. We also ordered the calamari which was amazing and perfectly crispy. Not oily like other spots. For my entree I got the Chicken breast skewers and it was pretty good, definitely wasn't worth the price for $33, it came with rice and potatoes but I subbed it for fries. I definitely think this place would be a 4 star if the prices were a bit better. I've had expensive Mediterranean food and I think it should be a little less for how the food was.

    The dip and bread !
    Jacinta J.

    The BEST Greek cuisine hands down! From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for a treat. They start you off with warm bread and the most delicious dip made from avocado - it's creamy, flavorful, and honestly addictive. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay and the Chilean sea bass, which came perfectly prepared with roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables. Every bite was flavorful, light, and satisfying. I came here for a solo lunch date and absolutely thoroughly enjoyed myself. The ambiance is sexy and chic with that classic Malibu breeze, and the service was fabulous - attentive, warm, and welcoming without being overbearing. Whether you're dining solo or with friends, this is a must-visit spot for an elevated and authentic Greek experience in Malibu. I'll definitely be back!

    So we're big fans of Greek island vibes and Taverna didn't disappoint. First off their outdoor patio is a winner. It's such a fantastic spot to indulge in the Malibu breeze while enjoying your Grecian meal. The best part and I'm not kidding is their bread with garlic sauce. They're both complimentary which is amazing given how delectable each are. The bread is so chewy and the garlic sauce deserves to be a food group of its own. Don't skip on the grilled octopus. I repeat don't skip on the grilled octopus.

    Wonderful restaurant with great service and ambience. The food is also very fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the grilled octopus to start it's very tender and delicious. The fish main dish was great and the lobster pasta was also amazing. The beachy vibe is also beautiful. Will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu.

    Avgolemono, Dolmathes
    Ariel R.

    Going up to Malibu and trying this spot was the perfect way to close off my weekend! The environment is open and welcoming and the staff is very helpful and open to giving some good food options. This is a perfect place for sharing some delicious foods and drinks. The avgolemono was not only divine tasting, but warm and filling and I'm so glad I tried it out. Everything I tried was delicious and aside from that the prices are reasonable, which is hard to come by! Can't wait to go back!

    Are there Covid precautions currently taken?

    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?

    25.00 per bottle

    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!

I ate at the one in Sherman oaks for years but it has been a while. Colleen was our server. A 24 year vet at this location and she was very nice and accommodating. Quick with recommendations and refills. We were seated immediately and service overall was really fast. The restaurant was crowded both inside and out but it didn't seem overbooked. We started with the tuna tartare. It was fresh and flavorful. We also had a grilled artichoke that people really loved. The entrees were basically pretty good. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries. Nothing to write home about and I would probably not order it again. The same is said about the chicken and waffles someone ordered. The vegan burger and the regular burger seemed to be hits. The pancakes apparently went down like butter. All in all it was enjoyable. I will say that the restaurant could definitely use a refresh. The plates all seemed tired. The vibe was a little tired. I think just a little bit of love (and money) would go a long way at this location.
