To Start Off... I've been here twice... The food is okay for the price.. Service is mediocre but the view... Is stunning. After your meal you can stroll along the private (or very low populated) beach and relax... Cajun ahi tuna sandwich is amazing. This place is only good for lunch... A pricey lunch
Surf and Seafood. Spicy Garlic Shrimp Tacos...WHAT!!??...That's all I'm going to say!..
P.S. The view is awesome!
Gladstones Malibu. Shrimp Tacos, Crispy Calamari and salad, SUPERB! And eating while looking out over the Pacific makes it all the better. Good white wines, too! It was a wonderful afternoon and will be back upon return to LA & Malibu, no doubt.
Enjoy the outdoor dining. We came straight from the airport, and enjoyed lunch outdoors overlooking the water. what a perfect way to unwind and relax after traveling. the service was on point, the food was tasty, and the view could not have been better. my date had the burger, and i had the candy rock shrimp appetizer. both dishes were throughly enjoyed. the portions were abundant, and the cold beers went perfectly with the meal. gladstone's is an excellent spot for lunch on any given afternoon.
Would recommend. Used to visit LA a lot when my daughter went to school and we always enjoyed ourselves. The view is great and and the food good though maybe not great.
Pretty good. Wish they had fries instead of chips. i eat here 4 times a year when i am in L.A. Great Views and seafood!!!!

I enjoyed my meal very much. No wait for lunch on a weekday. Expensive, but good portions. Try the Hot Fudge Brownie to finish off your meal!
DELICIOUSLY PRICEY!. IT WAS GREAT SEAFOOD BUT A LITTLE MISLED BY THE HOMEE SLICK!!! THANKS BRO! LOL
Good seafood. Very good chowder and seafood platter
Is it still There. We visit Gladstone's twice during our stay in LA and even when were are a couple of years later we still rever to Gladstone's whenever we speak of our stay in LA
Wonderfull dishes and good quality.
Gladstones the only reason to travel trough LA
Good. It was a good resteraunt but a bit pricey!
A great place for lunch with a stunning sea view. It’s a bit close to the road, but the sound of the waves drowns out the car noise. There’s parking in front, and you can also find some by the beach. The food is “okay”; I ordered a chicken sandwich, and my friend had the lobster roll, which was delicious. However, it’s a bit pricey for what you get, and the waitress seemed a little fake.
Will recommend for lunch. The inside is super cool though.

Not our first visit but it will be our last, they are closing for good next week. Sorry to see them go, so many memories but this time not memorable at all.
You would think that the staff would realize that they could provide exceptional service and maybe larger portions to get that larger tip because they will be out of work next week?
But no, for $30 a lobster roll and chips, the chips were generous but seemed soft and stale. The lobster roll has maybe an ounce of lobster in it, the bread was only sliced a quarter down and the lobster put on top. If they gave us a massive lobster roll and let us know they did it special for us we would have heavily tipped but instead we felt like the minimum tip for the minimum effort was appropriate for the situation.
The shrimp and linguine was ok but 4 shrimp, I remember 6 before. There are pepper flakes, adding a nice kick but about a tablespoon, not mixed in, under the noodles was not expected and too much. Again attention that they were known for was totally missing.
Our waiter was pretty good, friendly and attentive. We didn't complain about anything because I always worry about retaliation from the kitchen when food is returned.
We have not been there in a while so maybe this is part of a slow slide. Maybe after Richard Riordan passed it's possible that they have just been riding it out until these final days as they fade away.
They say a Wolfgang Puck's is going to take over, by tearing down this landmark restaurant to put in a chain restaurant.
I guess you are getting old when all the corner stones of your life slowly fade away.
Had to go once last time! Thanks for the memories. The Clam Chowder was delicious. The crab cakes were yummy. Blackened Sea Bass was great. Great views of the ocean from the patio. Gladstone’s you’ll be missed!
I grew up going here on special occasions. Later it became a tradition every time I visited home from Arizona to go see our family. We know they’re closing this year so we made a visit just to go to Gladstones. The menu is pared down now, but the food is still delicious. By the way, best sweet potato fries ever! Our server Jodi made it even more special! He was fantastic. The setting cannot be better. Per my tradition, after the meal I went down to the water and got my feet wet and felt so happy. My whole family will be very sad to see Gladstones Malibu go. Thanks for all of the memories!
The food was excellent, but the best thing was the attentive service by our waitress. She took great care of us, and even gave us a complimentary birthday cake, which is pictured, what she found out my girlfriend’s birthday was next week. They also had a gentleman going around making cool objects for kids out of aluminum foil.
The food and service was excellent but the location and the view from the patio dining made it very special. Highly recommend.
Really nice restaurant with a lot of history and in such a really nice place first line of the beach.
The service was really nice, friendly and kind. The dishes are big portions and really tasty, specially the Lobster Risotto. Also the huge chocolate cake is really worth the price! 15$ and easily 5 people can have its slice .
A beautiful place for sunset either solo or with a group. Today I was on my own and Jess took such great care of me. I had apps and dessert in mind and topped it off with a hard kombucha. The calamari was super delish and I def need to come back for the macaroni.
Everything was magnificent,
Great food, amazing service,
Extraordinary views 👏
I love it, especially the sunset vistas.
Had early Sunday dinner at around 4:30 pm, and we were seated right away. Service was prompt and great. we ordered grilled salmon with broccoli, lobster roll, fried seafood platter and California salad. Family enjoyed all the dishes, and we all left happy. Parking was $13...
It was my mom's favorite restaurant. Missing her, I decided to celebrate my 55th birthday there and the server's name was Angel ❣️ #Perfect #BestBirthdayEVER
I love this place for a long time! Perfect location, great food, perfect service and just an amazing experience every time. Recommended to try lobster roll and crab cakes.
An explosion of flavor in every dish. Our server Heidi was great and attentive the whole time. Definitely coming back!
This place was magical
The food was delicious and the service was awesome
The scenery made me feel so good and free
I recommend this place alot
Though go when you have money lol
P.s
Their clam chowder is as good as they say it is 😉
Breathtaking views with ample waterside seating both indoor and outdoor, generous servings, great seafood selection (and non seafood selection too) and decent prices and taste.
It is an amazing place to catch the sunset while enjoying a meal and they also have a couple of small things for kids to enjoy and play with. Staff were friendly but we felt like there weren't that many (service was still reasonably fast).
Of the things we had, the chowder was nice, the calamari was great (the marinara not so much though) and crab cakes were good too.
Wonderful seaside dining. Good prices for being next to the ocean. Bummer it's closing.
Gladstones 4 Fish will be closing this month, October 2023, after 50 years in Malibu. Wolfgang Puck will be opening a new restaurant in its place. The views are beautiful and the ocean breeze refreshing. I'll truly miss this restaurant!
