Cafe At The Getty Villa - Malibu

It is worth paying the parking lot to eat here. The outdoor space is relaxing and inspiring the view. Instead of driving the streets in Santa Monica to park or using expensive parking, we can enjoy the large and spaced terrace here. I ordered spaghetti meatballs and my husband ordered burgers and pommes. The pasta was boiled directly, the sauce NOT exaggerated by garlic. The onions in the burgers are deep-fried onion rings! The best part is the service. The waiters who delivered our food and picked up our tray were happy and polite. We noticed that other servers are equally friendly and polite. Since the food is paid in advance for the cafeteria style, they must be well paid and well trained. They even offer afternoon tea for $38 per person. Something to be considered next time must be held. The napkins leave on my sweater. I have to wear a Lint brush.

We had a nice lunch at the Getty Villa. We had to wait a while since the service was slow, but the food was worth waiting and was served in a beautiful relaxed environment.

Superb good museum food. My party of three had a delicious lunch on 02/18/2012. As the weather was warm, we ate on the outside terrace. The service was good and our orders came pretty fast. I had the Mediterranean plate while the other grilled Portobella and the Margherita pizza had. After lunch and relaxation a few minutes we continued with our visit to the Getty Villa.

I love this place. A beautiful environment. Food is surprisingly good. No ordinary museum dinner!

Lovely architectural surroundings. My mom and I shared the cheese and fruit tray for two. The cheese was amazing, the fruit was different and the cinnamon, raisin, pecan toasettes were absolutely yummy. We even had toasted almonds and walnuts to go with this delectable plate. There were two things I was disappointed in: 1) no refills on our iced tea or Diet Coke and, 2) we needed more crackers or toastettes for the yummy cheese we ate. I just wish the service was more attentive. But at least we got a guide on the cheese we ate. Otherwise, what I thought was brie, really wasn't. After wandering around a Roman Villa, you get a bit hungry and are looking for a snack that will appease your growing appetite. The cafe has a good selection of treats and meals to try. If you're looking for that espresso or cappuccino, then best look to the snack cart outside.
