Charlie DiLorenzo opened her dream restaurant "for the neighborhood" in spring 2009 to outstanding reviews. Celebrating its second anniversary on January 30, 2011, the restaurant's stylish dining room and lounge was instantly embraced by the local community and diners visiting this spectacular California coast destination. With a degree in design and architecture from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Charlie lends her sense and sensibilities to this stylish yet casual restaurant and lounge, which features neutral tones and natural woods highlighted by striking Dolce and Gabbana leopard-print 'mademoiselle' chairs and a hand-blown glass chandelier.

In addition to its menu of classic steaks, seafood and pasta, Charlie's boasts a contemporary bar program of original cocktails and a wine cellar of 150 labels reaching from Malibu to the Meditteranean Sea. The intimate lounge and bar offer a selection of small plates, pizzas and appetizers from 5:00 p.m. until late-night daily.
