The Sunset, Malibu

Ever have one of those days when the only thing that would work for dinner
is being in a gorgeous restaurant by the ocean, and experience the best food
you can ever dream of?

Next time the urge strikes, pray that you're in Malibu, California and make
a beeline for The Sunset Extraordinary Continental Cuisine. The staff was very
friendly - this is a family owned and they know how to make you feel at home.

At this place, the name truly says it all, The Sunset Restaurant, is located in
Malibu, with the most amazing ocean view you can ever dream, and the
service is absolutely perfect.

This is the kind of restaurant that you can’t wait to go back for more, starting with the wonderful Chef Shaw Davis, who had an authentic and magic talent to serve us the best food with the most beautiful presentation and taste, and our wonderful manager and our waiter.

The restaurant's glass walls afford a stunning view of the endless Malibu ocean and the deep blue sea beyond. Owners were kind and smart enough to add some good food to the mix, which is all the more reason to pay this restaurant a visit. The dining room is very elegant and stylish but at the same time it is very relaxed and makes you feel you are on vacation.

Next we had the Pear and Goat Cheese Salad, deliciously mixed
Baby Lettuce, Candied Walnuts, Goat Cheese, Raspberries, and
Roma Tomatoes Tossed with Balsamic Vinaigrette.

We continued with the taste of their amazing Lobster Ravioli, served with Saffron sauce and Asparagus tips. The main courses were equally as impressive.

We had the Sauteed Wild Mushrooms as a side order.
The freshness of the Lobster juxtaposed the earthiness of mushrooms.
I loved this dish combination was delicious.

We were blessed with the finest meat you can have; the Ostrich, a fennel crusted tenderloin served with peas and Chanterelle mushrooms, despite of the complexity of this dish, all the ingredients came together to create a beautiful and harmonious whole. The meat fell apart at the slightest touch of the fork and melted in the mouth, its texture so delicate, and flavor so intense.

Then we were surprised by the Braised Farm raised Rabbit, served with porcini mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes and natural braising jus, the meat was light and refreshing, and the flavor was sweet and natural.

Our grand finale was the Pepper New York Steak, this New York sliced with Tempura Onion Rings, this scrumptious, meat was prepared to perfection, and there is no way you can’t love it. I must say that we were very impressed by the treatment we had and by the quality of food, taste and presentation.

Crème Brule with Berries and Grand Marnier was simply yummy.
