Reviews for Gladstone's Long Beach in Long Beach, CA
Disappointing While I do not take pride in giving a review that’s not glowing there are times when it cannot be... avoided Gladstone’s was recommended by our hotel. It was an easy 10 minute walk. We were quickly seated on the patio with anice view of the water. The condition of the chairs and table was beat up and unkept. We were quickly greeted by our serverand he was the highlight of the entire experience. He did an amazing job in providing the best possible service you could everdream of having The food is where it all goes downhill. The fresh loaf of sourdough was very hot fresh and tasty. Next was theclam chowder which had an incredibly thick texture and not many clams or other solids like potatoes. Lastly we ordered thelocal halibut blackened. The server apologized that the only sides offered was mashed potatoes and vegetables. No substitutesallowed. The fish was bland in taste although it was blackened. The mashed potato’s were bland and no flavor. Lastly thesteamed vegetables was not seasoned and small portion. As someone who travels more than 100 nights per year, I can’t in goodfaith recommend this restaurant. Read more
Whenever we are in the area this is one of our favorite places to go to for food. This time around we had the poke nachos which... are delicious and has the perfect balance of flavors that you almost want to eat the plate when you are done with what was on itand it’s definitely big enough for 3-4 people to share. My daughter really enjoyed the California roll not much to say aboutit but it was good. I had the lobster, shrimp and crab linguine which was delicious definitely a giant portion and the amount ofseafood that is in it does not disappoint either. Although I really enjoyed this dish it is rich and heavy and you will belonging for a nap after it. The service here is always amazing and the views of the harbor and the ocean breeze are a great wayto enjoy a meal. Read more
Me and my family stopped here for a nice dinner with a view. The view is probably the best thing here from my experience. The... food was tasteless and cold. Our ceviche appetizer taste like a spoonful of lemon and the chips were stale. My lobster mac ncheese wasn't even melted it had no warmth and tasted under cooked. To add to that I asked for the small mac n cheese and gotcharged for the large. My husband's fish tacos were oily and overcooked. My son didn't even like his burger. Maybe the goodcooks work on the weekends. Read more
Food was great, the service was okay (Our waiter was Great). Really wanted to rate 5 stars however, I had made a reservation for... two, outside dining for mother's day four days in advance. When I arrived was told there wasn't any outside seating availablewhen clearly there were seats available. I guess those seats were for people with reservations. Read more
Stopped at Gladstones as we were at a conference in the area. While staff was friendly , the experience wasn't the best. First... and foremost do not come here if anyone in your party has any dietary restrictions/allergies. Not only does the menu have noinformation, but staff was not knowledgeable. Obviously shellfish self explains allergies but other items that are not asobvious were not noted. For the non allergy sensitive folks crab legs were ordered. Almost 3/4 of them had like no meat inthem. One of our party had ordered the tuna salad and all the accoutrement was so sweet they could only eat the tuna itself. Ifyou have to hit something on the Pike I'd recommend another establishment. Read more
Right along the waterline you can eat outside and watch the boats. Mostly all seafood on the menu. Great service and we got our... food fairly quickly. Live lobsters in a tank. Alcohol served here. Clean restroom. Read more
Family came down to the marina to hang out and decided to grab Sunday dinner. Tried a couple other spots but the wait times were... outrageous. Gladstones told us it would be 30 min so we decided to check out the surroundings while waiting. It wasn’t 10min and they called us for our table. We were seated on the patio, which was awesome until the sun disappeared then it gotchilly, if you go in the evening make sure to dress appropriately and bring a jacket. Our server was great, gave us plenty oftime to make our decisions and checked on us regularly, but not overbearing. The sourdough bread is always delish and I orderedthe Lobster Shrimp & Crab Linguine….. it was amazing,filled with shrimp and a mouthwatering sauce that hit the spot. Read more
