We had dinner at Gladstones early on Saturday night (around 5:30). It was packed! That might suggest the food is fabulous, but Gladstones has little to do with food. It's all about the view, which is totally spectacular. We were seated on the porch, which directly overlooks the beach and the waves. It was absolutely gorgeous. In fact, it was... More

The food there was "okay", nothing to write home about. This was our second to third time around the Malibu area, so we have gone to a number of restaurants that had much better food. I found the sandwiches to be a bit dry and tasteless, and when finding out the price afterwards, I was a bit shocked. I asked... More

This is a quintessential tourist trap. The view is gorgeous. We visited for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. The first clue for what we were in for was that they take photos of the guests and then try to sell them the souvenir photo. We expected to pay a little more than usual for our food, given the...

I've loved this restaurant, at the intersection where Sunset hits the PCH right on the water, for at least two decades. After a significant remodel, the food remains extremely good--but I was extremely surprised that it wasn't all that busy on a Friday night! The Cioppino was a slightly reworked version, delicious, with a fascinating back-of-the-pallate mix of herbs that... More

Close to Santa Monica and making capital from being on the Malibu border, this place is touristy but offers an ocean-side view. Mean cocktails but otherwise average in that way that touristy places don't have to care about return customers. Staff are friendly, to be fair. Food is ok. Atmosphere is a bit eat it and beat it. And the... More

Once this was a great restaurant, the food and value were good, and it was fun. Tonight, I entertained some out of town visitors and almost everything was terrible. The beer was warm, the calamari was cold, the $33 Halibut was tasteless and the service was indifferent. And the noise level was intolerable. The place could be described as an... More

Fantastic seafood in an amazing location. Very popular at weekends so if you want a table outside you need to book or be prepared to hang around. Great selection of all things from the sea. Everything is fresh and very good value. If you are in LA for a few days you should try and get along to this fantastic... More

It will be always so nice to have lunch-dinner with a straight view to the sea, and this is what i liked the most of this restaurant. The service is very good too, quick and pleasant. We came here for lunch and the place was bustling. I ordered a dragon mojito, which was good but too sweet for my taste,... More

A friend from Arizona, who's wife was celebrating her birthday invited us to Gladstone's for dinner. Nice friendly waitress and it went down hill from there. First course was cold seafood and a separate tray of raw oysters. Not bad except the cocktail sauce was lumps from being frozen Oh, there were six in the group. Had wedge salads for... More
