As a Malibu local, I had never eaten at Taverna Tony, but we stopped by the other night for dinner. Very nice menu, we decided on the baby roasted lamb and Lentil soup. The soup was delicious, with a tomato base. The lamb just about melted in your mouth. The lamb comes with rice pilaf, green beans and roasted potato.... More

We've eaten here countless times over the years but most recently while visiting a friend at Pepperdine. They food is tasty, fresh and authentic. The prices are really good considering you are in Malibu and the portions are generous. The setting is nice and the surrounding shopping area has a kid's playground if you have to wait for any reason.... More

Great Greek food, fun ambience; they have live music on the weekends and it can be a party atmosphere. Service is top notch and there is seating inside and out.

Taverna Tony has been around a long time in Malibu. I first visited his restaurant in the early 1990's. The food is very; good and of consistent quality. I really enjoy the tremendous variety the menu offers as well as vegetarian as well as carnivorous selections. The California Greek salad and Avgelemono soup are excellent starters, Make sure to order... More

Taverna Tony has a great location and a very lovely outdoor patio that makes for a great lunch spot when in Malibu. The greek food is solid with nice salads and traditional greek meat and seafood selections. The grilled Octopus is fabulous. They serve some very interesting Greek wines as well. I like stopping there occasionally for lunch and have... More

Heard about this place from a recommendation from Tommy Lee....don't usually listen to celebrities but he is Greek so I decided to try it. Thank you Tommy Lee for an excellent recommendation. Absolutely love this place. Go in the afternoon and eat outside it is wonderful.

I've been to LA / Malibu many times, but have never tried Taverna Tony until my last trip. I'm so glad that I did! This is a really nice restaurant with a great vibe and super friendly staff. Great menu with lots of great Greek dishes, and nice wine list. If you go, try the "Greek Feast". It's a lot... More

The AVGOLEMONO SOUP which is homemade chicken soup is delicious!!! I've tried other Greek restaurants chicken soup and have been disappointed Tony's has the best. I love going to Tony's just to have their chicken soup anytime of the year.
