Malibu Fairfield is a captivating Californian restaurant located at 1177 Post Rd, Fairfield, CT, where diners can truly feel the laid-back California vibe. Many patrons rave about the exceptional food quality and creative flavors. Rebecca Quist Hjortgaard Larsen noted that the food is "AMAZING," while Alex Mnatsakanov highlighted the standout Marinated Ahi Tuna rice bowl – a delightful fusion of ponzu-marinated tuna, guacamole, and miso-lime vinaigrette that leaves a lasting impression.
The ambiance is equally inviting, with a cool interior and a pleasant outdoor patio, perfect for those seeking a lively meal in the sun. The attentive staff, exemplified by the service from Mike, enhances the experience, making guests feel welcome and valued.

The vegan bowl is incredible!!! So delicious. (I wish they didn't charge extra to have half and half rice and greens versus one or the other but happy nonetheless.)

Living in Fairfield, we have a handful of regular places we either go out to eat or get take out from, and Malibu is right there on top of the list. We've been eating here for years, and I am constantly impressed with quality and flavors of the food. The few times we came here to eat, whether its with 6 people or 2 people, we always had exceptional service. The restaurant is also very cool inside, and on a nice warm day, has plenty of outdoor seating. One of my favorites is the Marinated Ahi Tuna rice bowl (ponzu marinated chopped tuna, guac, scallions, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, spicy cucumbers, blueberries, miso-lime vinaigrette). But honestly, everything on the menu is good. My daughter is partial to the pork belly tacos. Highly recommend either for family meal or a night out with friends (drink menu is great too!)

Absolutely delicious food across the whole menu, and quick, kind service. I went there on a packed Sunday night and we needed to catch a train in 40 minutes. They had us seated, served, and out the door without any issues. Highly recommend.

I came here with some of my family to celebrate my nephews win at his soccer game! They had cute outdoor seating we originally sat outside but it was too hot luckily they had some space inside for 7 of us. Juan was our waiter and he was very friendly, he checked up on us frequently, he was very helpful and attentive. Inside the restaurant is so cute! I love the vibe! Now, on to the food we had ordered a variety of things on the list of things ordered to the table- ahi tuna, steak, two Nashville chicken tacos. Yuca fries which were loved by the whole table although I would wish they would give a bigger portion they were great! Birria tacos, arroz con pollo, shrimp Al mojo, chicken quesadilla. Overall the dishes were great! My sister and law got some drinks and we both tried the la pinta and my nephew got the adios padre mocktail. I would recommend to give it a try! We will definitely be back!

I’ve been here plenty of times. So many times I was there when they were serving pink tacos . It’s always been a good vibe. I was craving an open face quesadilla and it was great as always . Malibu beach quesadilla is my go to. Happy hour is always good too. Service was very pleasant as always. They also have one of the best spicy margs. Half price happy hour is always appreciated in an economy like such.
