Bad to the bone!

My family frequented Gladstone restaurant in Malibu establishment for years – the food was good, the drinks were excellent, the prices reasonable and the service superb. however, this chapter has come to an end.

Saturday sep 5 2009, we went to have lunch there together with a friend of mine and his five year old daughter. what happened to one our favorite beach restaurants?! the food was disgusting, the drinks watery, the prices astronomical. the only thing that remained the same was the service (Robert was our server, and he was great), and let’s not forget the view. For a beyond mediocre lunch for five (three adults and two kids) we were charged a whopping $160! We had to send back our appetizer (fried calamari) as it was cold and rubbery, and ask for drinks replacement since we couldn’t even taste alcohol in them. The wedge salad was wilted and nasty, the “special” sword fish had a very strong odor, the chicken sandwich was drier than a piece of cardboard (my child wouldn’t touch it), and the pasta was overcooked. And to add insult to injury, the price tag was so excessive you would think you had a dinner at a five star restaurant. when we commented on this, our server said that under a new management things went pretty much downhill, many people complained, and the clientele attrition was rather large. Well, they lost us as well.

This is shameful! The unmitigated greed of the new management is simply appalling. To run a landmark like this into the ground is simply criminal. Very upsetting and disappointing.
