This was our first time here and we were NOT disappointed! We started with the Focaccia appetizer - I liked it best with the oil and vinegar. My wife had the Lime Fettuccine and I had the Alpine Chicken. Both dishes were flavorful but well balanced. The chicken in both was moist and tasty. We will definitely be back to try other dishes! It was a beautiful evening so we sat out front. We had a great view of the setting sun and the weather was perfect. Kylee made our evening perfect

My wife worked here 25 years ago so she's always telling us about her serving glory days. We finally went for a late lunch on a Sunday while in town. It was good. I got the half chicken and mashed potatoes and loved it. Daughter got the linguine, other daughter got the wedge salad and wife got the chinoy salad. Everyone liked their meals and we sat outside which is a good spot if nobody else is out there. Definitely get the bread.

I have been eating at the Malibu for years, sometimes every day of the week. The food and cocktails are excellent, and the staff are above and beyond friendly and helpful. Great job y'all!!

Delicious assortment on the menu. I have only one criticism, two of our party enjoy wine with dinner and even though the wine list was fine, we both agreed that the prices were too high for the bottles offered. Not to worry, they have a full bar. Four of us dined and we chose four different items from the menu. I had a Thai influenced curry with shrimp as the protein. Personally I enjoyed the meal even though I would like more broth and coconut milk. It would also be nice if they offered Thai iced tea. I'm not complaining because I had a couple of their signature "Beast of Bourbon" cocktails. Our youngest guest, an undergraduate at IU had the tenderloin steak and enjoyed it. I don't have details because he needed to leave to work on a business project that he had been assigned. My niece ordered the Mahi Mahi. It was well prepared and presented well on the plate. She enjoyed it with a well made Paloma. Our last diner was my sister who often enjoys small plates or appetizers. This evening she tried the Focaccia bread with marinara with her favorite Patron margarita. Our server was very busy as she was assigned the entire outdoor patio. We found her friendly and very efficient and she handled all our requests. This being the evening after the Great North American Eclipse the street view was even more interesting than usual. The Malibu Grill will take reservations. I suggest that you try it when in Bloomington Indiana. I think you will enjoy yourself.

In town for business and stopped by to eat at the bar... I never go to places back-to-back, but it was SO good... here I am! Server: Natalie (extremely knowledgeable and outgoing) Bartender: Jace (makes incredible handcrafted cocktails!). The menu does not do the food justice... it is incredible and so is the Service! Even when it is busy, the ambiance is still relaxing and enjoyable! Highly Recommend... and I may be back for a 3rd visit!

The service was great and food delicious. I got the steak, cooked medium, and the flavors were delightful and rich. The garlic mashed potatoes were spot on, as were the broccoli! My friend got this pork chops and was equally delighted with the meal. Sedition Ely great place for steak and meat!

The outdoor seating was very nice. They have extensive indoor seating with pictures of guests on the walls. Loved the fish tacos and hummus and service was excellent.

I've heard coworker's talk about this place several times and when I checked it out on yelp, the pictures really called to me. It's about 10 min from my hotel when I come to town for work and parking it pretty convenient. You just need to use the park mobile app. The weather was great and the patio was full around 630. For a party on one, I was directed to the bar area which had a waitress in addition to the bartender. There were also high top tables around the room so you didn't have to sit at the bar top which I appreciated. The table I sat at had a comfy high top booth seat on one side and chairs on the other. I was quickly brought a menu by a very friendly waitress. I got a pineapple daiquiri which wasn't frozen but still very good. I got the Hawaiian ribeye medium but it came out medium well. I did appreciate the char on the outside and the pineapple on the top was delicious. It came with garlic mashed potatoes and I chose broccoli as my side. Broccoli was tender but not over cooked. The table next to me seemed to order all the deserts so I decided to take a 5 nut brownie sundae back to my hotel. The vanilla ice cream was good and I love nuts in my brownies. It was just missing some hot fudge topping. This place has a large menu and since it's also 10 min from work, I could see myself coming for lunch or dinner. I'd really liked to try the pizza and the scallops sounded great too.

Monday was about my 6th time eating at Malibu and they are always so consistent! The staff is knowledgable and friendly. The menu being rather big (in my opinion), but flavor does NOT get overlooked in any dish. My go to meal here is the Steak Chimichurri - I first had this my sophomore year of college and I have been obsessed ever since. The steak is always juicy, cooked to temp and the sauce is great! This past time that I went, I ordered the Seared Rare Tuna for my entree and it was amazing! I did go for the 8 oz and I am glad I did because I ate every single bite! Matt got scallops and for being the middle of Indiana - they were some REALLY great scallops and cooked great!!! Overall this is a great place to eat with awesome staff and consistency that will blow your mind! Be sure to check it out!
