🙂 4/5 - Dinner on New Year’s Day, overrun by the weather... and with a poor afterbite !!!

Picked the end of December for a drive down from Sacramento to Los Angeles along the west coast, on the beautiful, incomparable US Coastal Highway 1. This was along anticipated, 36-year dream plan to experience that coastline up close… Of course, the weather and our airline (Southwest) both conspired to screw things up royally !! It rained every day of our 10-day vacation except the last, and when we were to fly from Seattle to Sacramento, the airline industry had a meltdown, leaving us stranded at SeaTac at 5:30 in the morning. Well, we couldn’t give up, and rented a car and drove 17 hours through pelting rain to get to CA and assume our planned itinerary. Wouldn’t advise anyone to try this !! Malibu ! The fabulous Malibu.. storied and infamous for many of its eccentric, rich and famous natives. And it’s NEW YEAR’s DAY, the sun finally came out after 8 continuous days of drenching, and we were having our last supper, before heading to LAX and thence home to NY. All good things come to an end ~ wet or dry. The Sunset is located on Westward Beach Road, on the south-east edge of the town… looking at an expanse of sand and waves… incessant waves all the way to Japan. Or Hawaii ….Russia, perhaps ? It occupies a white, frame building on the side of the narrow, sand-covered road, adjacent to the parking lot and outdoor seating area, which was closed at the time for winter (and rain.) The winds off the Pacific are very strong so the sand, having had part of a day to dry, was blowing everywhere. Once inside, the place was teeming. A busy, hectic and cheerful atmosphere, with tables being rotated for arriving guests and a busy, cheerful chaos-y hubbub. We arrived a little late into the evening (the place was starting to rapidly empty out) hoping to catch the sunset at The Sunset, but there was none ! The windows were so dusty that one could barely see through them. Was this because of the rain and winds ? Surely, someplace as busy and attractive as this should at least wipe down the windows at sundown to live up to their name ? We started with an Allegria Salad ($19) which we split. The salad was crisp, crunchy and delicious, but splitting it resulted in an additional “split plate fee” of $3. For our mains, we had an order of Crab Cake ($28) and the Whole Mediterranean Branzino ($48). Both dishes were great, though the Branzino was better than the crabcakes, which felt a little too bready and dry. The fish had crispy skin, and deliciously soft and delectable meat. Well done on that one, Sunset ! We noticed that all the menu prices were higher than their prices online, as indicated by “NYE” (New Year’s Eve..?) against each item on our check, except the Qt of Hoyt Viognier. However, a few weeks later, when I got my CreditCard statement, I found that our server ‘NOE’, had added an additional tip on top of what we gave. This is NOT good practice for any service establishment. I called their manager, Max, about this in March, and he promised to get back to me ~ but has not done so as of July. Bad way to start the year with them: be warned… I always try and check my statements because some folks think they won’t be caught.
