The view at Gladstones can't be beat. I do suggest that if you're going to visit, go with a full stomach. The days of fish slapped on the grill and served with lack luster sides are gone and, the food is way over priced and lacks imagination. My boyfriend and I decided to entertain out of town guest at Gladstones thinking that the "California Experience" that this place has to offer would compensate for the food. ( Gladstones has NEVER been known for the food). Boy, were we wrong!!!!! NO SEASONING, NO SAUCES, NO GARNISHMENT ON ANYTHING!!! Let's start at the beginning. The wait (with a reservation) we were o.k. with, being sat with a glorious view of the kitchen, we were o.k. with, over cooked seafood with no imagination (the kitchen staff has no idea how to prepare seafood) corn on the cobb and red potatoes boiled in water(nothing on them) and a $25 seafood salad with wilted, yesterdays iceberg lettuce? now you've lost me! To top all of this off, from our table we could hear the owner of Gladstones (we later asked who this horrid woman was) screaming, cursing at and berating an employee. Our overall experience was terrible not to mention embarrassing. I could never again patronize a business that doesn't care about it's product and treats its employees less than human. For $50 per person (2 drinks p.p., lunch) there are other places with a view.
Pros: GREAT VIEWS/GOOD SERVICE
Cons: BLAND FOOD/NATZI MANAGEMENT
