Gladstone's Malibu

$$$-$$$$, American, Pacific Palisades

User Rating: *** 2.8

Fodor's Review:

Gladstone's is one of the most popular restaurants along the Southern California coast; its demand has even spawned a sister restaurant in Universal Studios' CityWalk (though the lack of beachfront makes it far less attractive). The food is notable mostly for its oversized portions: giant bowls of crab chowder, mounds of steamed clams, and the famous mile-high chocolate cake, which can easily feed a small regiment. But the real reason to visit Gladstone's is the glorious vista of sea, sky, and beach. It's also a good breakfast spot.

tourist trap seafood joint on the beach

Posted by AskOksana from San Fernando Valley, CA USA on 1/4/08

this is not a place you go for great seafood, it's where you go to watch the sunset, have a cocktail or some mediocre fare in a very noisy atmosphere... it's fun but this is not for great or even good seafood, it's all about the location...
