What’s the best way to cap off a fabulous afternoon at the Malibu Getty? Easy, hands-down answer requiring no thought at all: drinks and dinner at Moonshadows in Malibu.

It starts when you walk in the door and see the Pacific Ocean just out the window. A little on the funky side, Moonshadows is quintessential Malibu of every Hollywood dream. Beautiful people in a beautiful setting, relaxed and beach-casual as found only in LA.

Eben and Marlio welcomed us at two prime seats at the bar. I started out with a Nolets Silver Dry (gin) martini, up with two plump green olives. Usually a Plymouth or Hendrix fan, this new gin (new to me) is super smooth with a hint of pine resin.
