Why this room is hard

It is not a Resy problem. It is a two-week window.

Alba runs in Malibu as a Northern Italian dining room with a wood-fire program and a patio that catches the ocean. The room sits inside LA's secondary-market top 10 and runs a tight pasta menu under low light.

Resy opens two weeks ahead. Patio tables in season clear first; the indoor dining room stays open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu most weeknights.

Malibu. One patio. Two-week window.
The three rules

How we work this room.

Three commitments that apply to every Alba Los Angeles request, every night the kitchen is open. No fine print, no surcharges, no surprises at the door.
I

Pay when we get you in.

Your card is authorized when you submit the request. We charge it only when we confirm your table. No confirmation, no charge. Ever.

Authorize, do not capture

The host is expecting you.

You walk in to Alba Los Angeles and the table is yours, held for your party at your time.

Confirmed for your party
III

One posted price.

$150 for non-members. $50 for members. One number, every night, every party size. No auctions, no surge, no Friday markup. Whatever the room is doing, the price does not move.

No auctions. No surge.
What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

01

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

02

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

03

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

04

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

05

You eat.

Walk into Alba Los Angeles, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
