Kristy's Malibu

Today (5/21/2023), my wife and our two children went to this restaurant for lunch. One of my friends suggested this restaurant to us. The quality of the food was very high and it was very tasty. I thank the chef and his colleagues in the kitchen. But food is a part of a restaurant. Another important part of the restaurant is related to the employees who welcome the customers and give them good service in serving food. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this restaurant was not of high quality in the second part. A lady named Lady.R , wanted to take our food order She took our food order. The food was placed on our table very timely and hot. So far everything has been great. But my wife told her that she needs some lemon slices. She said she will bring it now. But she never brought us lemons. After 15 minutes we had to tell her colleague who was a very polite young gentleman and he did it very quickly. This lady asked the tables next to us several times if they needed anything but never asked us. While eating my daughter told this lady that she needed cheese to eat the pasta, she said she would bring it now but never did. So after several minutes my wife had to tell someone else and he brought us cheese. Several other times, this lady asked the tables next to us if you need anything, and also when giving the check to pay for the food for others, she spoke to them respectfully, but she threw the check on the table for us and left. These are her behaviors was very ugly and unprofessional. If I have such an employee in my business, I will definitely reconsider working with her. ( This is the answer of that lady. I believed in my own writing.) Hey thanks for the picture you shot of me. That's a great one for the books! I noticed in your profile that you have a few reviews on waitstaff in different places that you like to go. Particularly nasty ones so I guess I can take yours with a big grain of salt. I guess I'll start off by saying I'm sorry that you felt slighted when I forgot your lemons. It was probably a busy time for your server and it was possible that I just accidentally forgot to bring your lemons, isn't it? You asked for them and I promised that I would bring them. I do have a lot on my plate at times when I'm serving and there are a few times that I honestly forget to bring things to tables. It was disappointing, I'm sure, to you to miss out on lemons with your hot meal that came out just as your ordered with me and I'm truly sorry that you feel it was based off what you look like. I often wake up in the middle of the night remembering something that I forgot to bring to a table and for a few minutes I feel guilty in those late hours. But maybe after reading your wonderful and incredibly rude review, I think I'll stop worrying about it. I hope you can come back for a better time and I can make sure that I do not forget a single thing for your meal. I also hope maybe you have some patience and kindness for people in the customer service industry in the future since it appears that you have none.

This is in a modern strip mall-type location. The service is awfully slow, and while the food is hyped as being nutritious and healthy, it is not the tastiest. There are no views from this location; although, some of the pictures make it seem like it's in a super hip location. Nowhere near the beach - or so it feels. Don't come here if you need to eat your food within 2 hours.... very overpriced too.

A++ people watching. Even if the food was terrible (it was delicious), I’d give the place 5 stars for the people watching alone. I don’t know if it’s just the Sunday crowd, but it was fascinating!! Seems like there are a lot of regulars. The owner/manager was very welcoming and sweet. Our waiter did seem to forget about us for awhile after we finished our food and we had to ask someone else for our check - I just continued people watching to pass the time. Spicy sausage flatbread and burger were solid. Will definitely come back!
