Nobu Malibu

15 LA Restaurants With Great Views - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"It’s kind of a toss-up as to which view is better at Nobu Malibu—the big blue Pacific Ocean, or the people-watching. If you don’t see a celebrity here, you aren’t looking hard enough. We’d actually understand if the food here was mediocre, but the best part about Nobu is that it’s the opposite. All that excellent Japanese food comes at a price, but when Diane Keaton and her hats are sitting to your left, that’s the least of your worries. Reservations are released 30 days in advance, though we rarely have luck making them online. If you call and speak with a host, however, your chances go up exponentially. Walk-ins during weekday lunch are also usually accepted." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
