The dinner entrees were absolutely fantastic!…read more First up was the Branzino, which was cooked to perfection without any fishy taste. It had a crispy and delicious texture, and the spinach was fresh and not overcooked. To complement the dish, we had truffle fries that were crispy and incredibly tasty. Next, we tried the Wagyu Burger, which was a very delightful experience. It was very thick and cooked to my exact liking, resulting in a tender and flavorful burger. The fries were also very tasty. To wash it all down, we had a Blackberry Lemon Drop martini, which had a refreshing and delicious flavor. We also had the pleasure of meeting the founder of OLLO. He started working in the restaurant industry when he was just 15 years old. You can see him in our pictures. He was very welcoming and checked on us a few times during our visit.

Ice water: go inside and help yourself. Mandatory pre-selected tip: 25%. Service attitude: meh. Then, as you opted for the convenient method above, they charge you 99 cent extra. For every order. OK, if you care to hear more: I was born and raised in Germany. In Germany, staff gets paid by the hour, so it's typical to "round up": on a €44 check you would possibly give €47-48, €50 would be considered generous. STILL, when I get asked what would be the first you would import from the US, I suggested "the way you tip service". For decades, 15-18, max 20% was the rule, and you got excellent service for this. I preferred excellent service over saving money in a restaurant. Now, they led us to believe that service does not get paid and their tip is what they take home. Also, they want is to believe that 15% tip is almost an offense as everything got more expensive. A server at Zinqué Malibu earns a legally mandated minimum of $17.91 per hour before tips. Zinqué does not publicly disclose its exact hourly rate; its job postings describe compensation as "hourly + tips," based on experience. True: everything gets more expensive. Every year. So if prices adjust for a sandwich, so does the tip, it's whatever percent on top. So "everything is more expensive" is covered by the higher tip. Zinque offers substandard service, suggests an extra 25% as default for it, and then makes me pay extra for them reducing the service. I still believe that great service deserves recognition. Sadly, I also believe that whoever is behind this, has lost his mind. As much as I love the ambiance of this place, I will not go again. Possibly they would not even want me to come again. Fair enough. During my visit, max 20% of the tables were taken, rather less. Maybe there are more people like me. Again, to make sure we do not misunderstand each other: I have no objections to have an online menu. I prefer a "real" one, but then, digitalization will take over. Fine. I dot not support that I have to tip before I have even seen service, though. Tip must be earned. By service. The more you love the service, the more you should tip.

We had a reservation for Thursday evening, and everything was nice at first. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice quickly went downhill. When we ordered, one of my friends did not like his alcoholic drink, and it took quite a while to get someone to come back to our table. Throughout the entire dinner, no one came to check on us to ask how our food was or whether we needed anything. It felt like they took our order and then completely forgot about us. One interaction also made our group feel uncomfortable. When one of the staff members, an older, shorter man with glasses, took our order, he responded to my friend with "gracias." As Hispanic customers, some of us felt singled out or racially profiled, especially because our non-Hispanic friends noticed it too and thought it was strange. They even commented that he could have simply said "thank you" like he did with others. Later, when we asked to have the alcoholic drink removed from the bill because my friend genuinely did not like it, the same employee became very aggressive and judgmental. He repeatedly asked, "What happened, guys? You don't like the drink?" and kept questioning why my friend did not like it and what else we wanted, but in a rude and diminishing tone. We felt dismissed as customers, and the situation was handled very unprofessionally. The food was okay, and the ambiance was nice, but the restaurant was also very hot inside and did not seem to have adequate AC. The biggest issue was the service and how we were treated. Our experience left our entire group feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. I personally would not recommend coming here based on our experience.

It's almost like a farm setting and sorta lit up like Christmas it's very beautiful with all the lights. We stopped to grab a coffee at the coffee shop there and it was honestly not that great, they were very sweet the girl working there I do remember that. But their coffee was not that great. The dinner we had was nice but it was outside and it was freezing. So we were all shivering and by the time our food came out everything was pretty cold. The entire hotel was not busy there wasn't that many people there. Kind of a shame since you think it would be since it is beautiful there. The rooms were interesting and across from each other, however I loved the little fire pit they had in the middle of the outside area going back and forth to the rooms. The kids had a blast though they had fun running back and forth and they do leave a lot of yummy snacks around which was really nice. The customer service was not bad not the best but not bad! Everyone was nice but things took extra long when it shouldn't when no one was really there. I hope next time we visit this hotel it will be busier.

I was very excited to finally try Clark's Oyster Bar. I had a feeling it was going to be good, but…read moreI didn't realize it was going to be this great! The location and ambience were wonderful. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, whether you're dining as a couple or coming with a larger group. They take reservations in advance, but also accommodate walk-ins. I personally love outdoor seating, and their outdoor space was so peaceful and relaxing. We truly enjoyed how calm and zen the whole experience felt. Service was wonderful as well. Everyone was so kind and attentive, and our server gave us some really great recommendations. Now for the food, we genuinely loved everything we ordered. We started with the Crudo, which was so yummy, and the Beef Tartare, which was easily one of the best beef tartares I've ever had. Definitely in my top five! I'm also completely obsessed with their French fries. The tartare comes with a very generous portion, and those fries are SO addicting. I genuinely could not stop eating them. They are literally the perfect French fries to me, and I can't think of anywhere else that tops them right now. For our mains, we had the Grilled Octopus and Seared New England Scallops. The octopus and all of its accompaniments were absolutely astounding. We've never had anything quite like it, and the sauce was exceptional. My only note is that it was a little on the spicy side for me. Totally fine, I just don't have a very high spice tolerance, so I had to eat it a little more moderately, but the flavor was incredible. The Seared Scallops were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I love that you can choose the sauce to accompany them. Our server recommended her favorite, the red chimichurri, and I'm SO glad she did. I probably wouldn't have thought to order it myself, but it was the perfect complement to the scallops. We also got the affogato to finish off our lunch, which was great. And personally, I really enjoyed the biscotti cookies that came with it. I love that so many of the dishes are easily shareable, which makes it really fun to try a variety of things with the table. We can't wait to come back, bring others with us, and try even more of the menu. Such a fun experience and definitely a new favorite!

Usually not a fan of writing negative reviews, but I think this one warrants an honest review and…read morehopefully gives others and, more importantly, the restaurant perspective on a pretty awful dinner and hopefully make improvements. 1. The steak was cooked really poorly and was very very chewy. Sauce was nearly inedible. We each took one bite and could not eat any more of it. First time ever leaving a steak dish alone, ever. I like the idea of a wasabi infused au poivre sauce but it was extra bitter and had a funky sour taste to it. 2. Kimchi was WAY too salty. I understand kimchi is salted during brining, but we each had one piece and couldn't eat any more. I lean towards a saltier palate but I just couldn't eat more. 3. The chicken wings tasted fine, but they weren't even tossed with the sauce completely. Some pieces had only a few drops of sauce. None were fully coated. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but I wanted to point it out. 4. Salad was served in a full bowl and we were instructed to toss the salad ourselves. Either the salad should be tossed with the dressing or we should have a bigger bowl? This might just sound nit-picky, so I'll just leave it at that. 5. We ordered one of everything on the late night menu, and we were told that the tuna was sold out. No problem. When the food came out, we had 2 orders of the wings come out. We only ordered one. When we asked, we found out that the server mistakenly put one order of the wings and one order of the wings combo. Honest mistake, no problem. We had everything come out except the kimchi pancake, and when we asked about it, we were told, "oh, that must be sold out too then." Maybe the kitchen had an off night? I even thought possibly it was because we went too late? But we arrived at the restaurant just past 12 and restaurant closes at 2am on a Saturday, and we didn't receive any notice of a last call in the kitchen, so I don't think that was the issue. Ambiance was fine, server was kind - just hard to get past the food. I replied to an email from the restaurant asking about our dining experience with the above mentioned and got zero response, so now I feel like this just needs to be shared to the public. Maybe the generic automated email is also telling to the laziness of the food. I'm sure their actual dinner menu is better, but what's the point if the food isn't consistent across the board? Maybe don't do the late night menu if it's going to be regarded as unimportant. Again, this is my one experience there from just the late night menu. Not sure if i want to give it another try for a while, but one bad experience usually carries more weight than good ones, unfortunately. Lastly, for a "no tipping" policy where they enforce a 20% fee to cover their operations, I should expect much better from the restaurant. Very, very disappointing. Was really hopeful for this restaurant, but here we are. Hope they do better moving forward.

It's the kind of place where you can actually relax and have a conversation without screaming across the table.
