    Delicious food! The lobster roll and omelets had the freshest lobster. My daughter loved the King Crab legs. The fries were yum. Service was lovely and of course - the view next to the window was stunning. We even saw dolphins! I will go back!

    Devyn was extremely hospitable and welcomed my family with holiday cheer! We were seated in a beautiful location to watch the waves crash the rocks, and had immediate assistance when we asked to turn on the outdoor heaters. But, most importantly, service was timely and delicious and our experience was outstanding! This was our 1st time at Moonshadows as we celebrated our holiday family lunch!!! This will now become an annual family tradition, and anytime in the Malibu area, would love to dine here at Moonshadows! Thanks a ton for the experience!

    We're staying at a condo nearby and saw this place during a quick stop at the grocery store located in the same strip mall. Small plates were delicious and service was very good. Read it was a local neighborhood fave and can see why!
