This Famous Malibu Restaurant Got A Four Diamond Award

MALIBU, CA – Everyone knows Malibu is a beautiful place to be. There are ample amounts of modern restaurants with world-renowned chefs, gorgeous beachfront views, and awesome surf spots. It turns out AAA recognizes Malibu's charm, too. The company recently released their list of award-winning Four and Five Diamond Rating hotels and restaurants in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean – one Malibu restaurant snagged a Four Diamond Award.

According to the AAA restaurant scale, patrons should think of each additional Diamond as "another reason to sit back and enjoy the experience - from quick and tasty to utterly amazing, according to AAA. One Diamond restaurants are for "grab it and go" meals; Two Diamonds is for a "relaxing break with expected favorites"; Three Diamonds offer a fresh and trendy dining-out event; Four Diamonds are a "culinary experience to savor and enjoy; and Five Diamonds offer an "entire evening of wow moments."

Nobu Restaurant in Malibu was the Four Diamond Award winner. The beachfront Japanese restaurant is often visited by celebrities and the ocean view is available from almost every seat, according to their website. Nobu Malibu is known for exquisite cuisine featuring Nobu Matsuhisa's signature dishes such as Tiradito, Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño, and Black Cod Miso. If you haven't stopped by for dinner yet, maybe you'll consider it now that they've got Four Diamonds to their name.
