Gastronomically speaking, surf’s up at the Malibu Pier, a historic landmark that’s home to a new dining hot spot. Overlooking a fabled stretch of Pacific coastline, the Malibu Pier Restaurant & Bar offers cuisine befitting its waterfront setting: Chef Jason Fullilove bases his menu on the daily catch, turning out raw-tuna burgers topped with shaved ginger, say, or whole grilled fish stuffed with lemon and herbs. The interiors pay homage to the sea as well. “California surf culture was born on this beach,” says Joshua Klein, a visual consultant who worked on the design with architect Mark Stevens and decorator Erin Martin. “So we decked out the space in true Malibu spirit.” High-style maritime details abound, including ceiling lights dangling from rigging ropes and floor tiles with an evocative wavy motif. Adding to the SoCal vibe are photographs by Dennis Hopper and LeRoy Grannis, among other works of art, though it’s hard to compete with the views. “The main show is the ocean,” Klein says. “It’s literally running beneath you.”
