Gladstones Restaurant Malibu Reviews
Seafood restaurant on Will Roger’s State Park Los Angeles, California
The restaurant is located at the end of Sunset Boulevard and the Pacific Coast Highway. The restaurant shares a parking lot with the Will Rogers State Park. They’re plenty of parking spaces and the fee for dinner was only five dollars for parking.

A favorite of mine for over 30 years, so happy to see Gladstones is open and serving delicious seafood as always. My most recent visit began with a joyful greeting from the hostess who found me a table with a perfect view of the Pacific and Malibu be

Service always great and wow what a perfect location on the ocean BUT the seafood should be fresh. Shrimp is farmed raised and crab from a can. Had to return the food. Fish good, bread and fries good. We noticed losing business. Need fresher seafoo
We came as a large group of 10.
We were seated right away. Angel was our waiter and he was spectacular. Very attentive to our loud obnoxious group. We really never waited very long for anything. Our drinks came right away. We ordered food, and before we were done with our drinks,

8 of us went late afternoon to celebrate a couple of birthdays and put together a nice table with 3 on each side and one on each end which made for a nice ocean view for all but the man who's back was to the ocean. Our server, Jessica, was 5-st
Our server, Angel, he was friendly and did great.
Manila clams and linguine--good! Shrimp Scampi also good! We had a quiet beautiful dinner after sunset. Parking was easy for $4-5

Ordered rooster rolls and classic hammers, delicious and fresh meat. Service was great. Ocean view was amazing on the deck. Foods Price was reasonable.
This has to be one of the better views in all of LA.
Decent food with a price point that is high, but not out of reach which is surprising considering the location. Peaceful and friendly, it feels welcoming to all. Nice to have a local spot without snobbery or a tourist trap atmosphere. As a mom I espe

Gladstone's on PCH is all about the view, waves, sunshine, and that classic SoCal vibe. The seafood's fresh and the portions don't mess around. Loved the warm Sourdough, crispy fish tacos, golden fish and chips, and green beans that we

Excellent fish and chips and the clam chowder was amazing.

Due to their reopening since the LA fire, some things are still not available like the oysters and other items in the seafood tower but our server Maddy more than made up for it. She was attentive and friendly and even gave my daughter a complimentar

There were no clams in our $20 bowl of clam chowder.
Beautiful view for a $15 parking fee. In 2025, nothing justifies visiting or patronizing this long standing establishment, not even for a glass of water. Gladstones overpriced menu is not worth eating there anymore. There are a few restaurants that o

Gladstones has a great ocean view, but that’s about it. The food is overpriced and underwhelming, with bland flavors and mediocre quality. Service is hit or miss, often slow and inattentive. You’re mostly paying for the location, not the experien

Came here on March 3 2024 aka the prophesized tragedy by Twitter User @2dollarbeer for an anniversary date. The biggest tragedy was that everything in the world to me smelled like mucus and heartbreak and love so that I wasn't even hungry by the time
Love the view of the ocean.
I always get the claim chowder and there seafood towers. Great service. Food is always on point. One of my favorite spots in Malibu.

It's gone now, but I'll tell you that sourdough bread and that seafood tower is unbelievable. Love it.
The view of the sunset was awesome.
The food was great and the customer service was on point. I'm most definitely going back.
This place is a morgue.
Clearly all attention to customer service and standards have been abandoned. Eat and drink here at your peril!
Beautiful view.
The smell of the beach is amazing! Sitting on the deck I believe is the best place to be. The deck is huge, so there are plenty of opportunities. Last time I was here was many years ago(35+)- when first moved to this city...today it was slow, but t
Worst service EVER.

Excellent food and service, the clam chowder was so creamy and plenty of clams. The slice of chocolate cake was the biggest I have seen, it was a yummy and very moist.

I've been to Gladstones before, but this is the first time today when I went to Gladstone with a friend and I had the lobster roll. It was delicious and I would recommend it to anyone.. we also shared a loaf of sourdough bread. What's not to like abo

Sitting here as I write this and I just paid $30 for French fries and ketchup cuhs the fish was absolutely horrendous and probably not safe to eat, fries were good tho so congrats I guess ? Wish I could do zero stars
Terrible eats
Terrible terrible food! Drinks only with ocean view. Tasteless lobster roll, old hard fries, Watered down…undrinkable Arnold Palmer drink. (25 years ago had good food)

Glandstones restaurant on the Pacific Highway is a destination and a restaurant serving wonderful seafood “with a view”
Sadstones. Not what it was 20 years ago
Went back after 20 years but did not like it at all. Sorry. .... Place.is filthy rusted and not clean. Wife kept spiting put shell shards and fragments from linguini and clams. Sauce kooked grey, over salted dish dangerous and inedible. My fish ste
Disappointed
Back in 1999, this place had ambience and there was always a wait to get seated. We sat inside, little to no decor, tight booth seating, calamari was quite tough and the lobster was impossible to crack into. Everything else was good but this is not t
The worst fish and chips I've ever had
Gladstones looks great on it's website, so when we were in Malibu recently thought we'd try it out. Sincerely wish I hadn't, thinking about it, it was a Friday night and it was empty, a few people scattered about- obviously not a popular place. We st
Cocktails and Ocean Views - is there anything better?
We drove by here on our way to an event and made a note to visit another day and are we glad we did. It was only for cocktails on the deck but it was enjoyable and delicious. We came via Topanga Canyon Road and what an experience that was!! Breathtak
Clam Chowder is my favorite.
Rich with cream is my guess. On the beach.

Went to Gladstones for lunch with our dog! They were extremely accommodating and sat us on the patio with a great view of the water. Burgers were delicious!
Gladstone's is more about the location and ambiance for me.
It's a cool, iconic restaurant, with amazing sunset views. It's a fun stop heading back from a day in Malibu. The menu is pretty basic. I had a salad and clams - both good, but.. basic.
The food is expensive relative to the quality in my opinion
The food is expensive relative to the quality in my opinion but you can't beat the ocean vibes. Sourdough and drinks were great.

Gladstones is still fun, still has an amazing view, and still serves killer clam chowder and fish & chips. But it's not what it used to be decades ago when there were crowds and long waits and you felt like you were at the center of the world. Ba

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Gladstones Restaurant Malibu at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Gladstones Restaurant Malibu page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Gladstones Restaurant Malibu to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Gladstones Restaurant Malibu!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
