Reviews for Gladstones Restaurant in Pacific Palisades, CA
Watched the best sunset ever. Put my feet in the Pacific and had a fabulous water front dinner. I would come here just for the... view. Also, Brittany was an excellent waitress. Read more
On an incredibly humid balmy day at the beach the staff worked hard to keep patrons cool by refilling our ice water and offering... me a cool cloth. We were here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We were surprised by the yummy chocolate cake after enjoyingtheir signature clam chowder, wedge salad, and entrées. We must come back on a cooler day. Read more
This is an icon in Malibu. My first date with my wife was at this restaurant. So this restaurant occupies a specific place in... our hearts. After we spent an afternoon at El Matador State Beach, we came here to eat on our way back home. I was surprisedwhen I called the restaurant to make reservation and the receptionist told me there was no wait. It was a Thursday night ataround 7pm, the restaurant was half full only. I remember before the pandemic, this place was always packed and the wait wasalways long. After we sit down and tried to order food, it took our waiter a long time to show up at our table. it looked likehe was very busy as he was serving many tables. It took awhile before our food came out. We had steamed clam, linguine withscampi and linguine with clam. All dishes tasted like they were using the same sauce and they were to salty too. I rememberbefore, steamed clams were cooked with wine and butter, tasted fantastic. It was definitely an unsatisfied meal. And theenvironment seemed to be depressing as the restaurant looked run down. We also noticed that the prices had gone way up forfood. But with this kind of service and mediocre food, I can see why the restaurant’s business had gone down. It’s sad tosee that Gladstone had spiraled into this state. Hope the mangement would make some changes to revive this iconic restaurant. Read more
I had not been here in a really really long time. It's much more casual than I remember from years ago but still amazing food... and just steps away from the ocean. Prices are fair for what you're getting. Service was pretty good. She was attentive andnice. I brought my friend from out of town who'd never been to the California coast before so she loved it ?????

Used to be one of the best restaurant in Malibu Beach area. Do not expect good service. You have to wait for services with... patients. Patio is good when is not windy otherwise stay inside. Check in desk at entrance was very nice. She takes you to thetable with good smile. Enjoy your afternoon at the beach! Read more
Unfortunately not that great as it used to be… food was ok, but in what universe this should be mashed potatoes ???? I really... don’t know. The chef ????????? should rethink the making of… really… And in general, the place should go over someremodeling. It’s about time. The flair of the location by itself doesn’t last forever. Will come back, as I do since 1997,but hope for the better. Read more
I've been coming here for over 20 years but never really cared for the food that much. It's just about the views and their clam... chowder! The ahi tuna sandwich was very salty. The tuna tartar didn't have much taste, and the mustard didn't really complimentit in my opinion. It also came with just three chips, and we had to ask for more. One beer, a bloody mary, a cup of clamchowder and the two dishes came to about $70. You be the judge. I'd say pretty standard for LA prices. Read more
Enjoyed the views of the ocean. Ordered lobster roll, ceviche, Mussels and loaf of bread. Our drinks were good except for my... Aperol spritz. I shoukd have known better. It wasn't very good. Service was great. Read more
