"I have been a fan of Malibu Fish Grill for a very long time. It was characterized by great food, affordable prices and a nice unpretentious setting. At some point it became Malibu Eatery , a weird name that sounds more like a cafeteria for a hospital. Never liked it but still admired the place and its food and prices. The pandemia and work took its toll on all of us plus work demands making me stay away from this location for a while. Today I came back to my beloved Malibu Fish Grill aka Malibu Eatery. I was surprised, a salad cost me $23 dollars ! Just a salad and a glass of water. Wonder what it could had cost me had I ordered what I used to order just 2 years ago. The location does not look as well kept as it was back then, as well as service not being as friendly as it used to be. Perhaps this eatery is trying to become more upscale, charging higher prices for its products, but you can not go upscale scaling down from using silverware to using plastic forks and knives. At least show arguments for a higher price using real silverware as opposed to plastic cups and forks/knives. I love this place, and now I find myself in a dilema, but I feel it is my obligation to write these words of constructive criticism in order to call the attention of management as well as patrons, it is sad to see a great place fall like this."
