Fashion Island

Fashion Island hosts some of my favorite dining spots like True Food Kitchen, R+D Kitchen, and Fig & Olive.

True Food Kitchen

For a healthy option, I go to True Food Kitchen. I love starting with their fresh juices like the Hangover RX and Kale Aid. The edamame dumpling appetizer is a must-try, and for entrees, the pan-seared chicken with broccolini and capers is my favorite, plus it’s gluten-free.

R+D Kitchen

R+D Kitchen is a great lunch spot with friends. I love starting with the Dip Duo — fresh tortilla chips with guacamole and pimento cheese. The French Dip Au Jus sandwich is my favorite entree. And the carrot cake with mascarpone cheese frosting is a perfect dessert.

Fig & Olive

I love sharing plates at Fig & Olive. The manchego cheese crostini with figs is a must, as well as the beef tartare, truffle & artichoke, marinated shrimp, and smoked salmon. The ambiance, with olive trees and fire features, creates a perfect dining mood.

Lido Marina Village

Lido Marina Village has favorites like Malibu Farm and Nobu. For a date or girls’ night out, Nobu is my go-to — crispy rice with spicy tuna and wagyu beef tacos are favorites, as is the lobster heart of palm melts. For dessert, the Yuzu strawberry tart is perfect.

Nobu | Malibu Farm

Malibu Farm is perfect for brunch and lunch with fresh, organic ingredients. Their kale-apple juice and raw Brussels sprouts salad are favorites, as is the breakfast burrito with mango habanero sauce.
