Thanks to its location right on the sand with a patio that overlooks the ocean in Pacific Palisades, summer is always an important time for the long-standing Gladstones restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway. But this summer is even more significant because the restaurant is launching a new menu that signifies a sort of rebirth for the more than 50-year-old eatery, which was slated to close last year until a group of employees stepped in to save the iconic restaurant. “It’s the first new menu that we’ve done on our own, me and the new team all working together.

We got through the winter, which is a really difficult time, and now we’re in the spring, the sun is out and we want this new summer menu to be an expression of not just where we’re at but where we’re going,” said Jim Harris, CEO and co-executive chef of Gladstones, which just launched their new summer menu. The new menu items include farm to table salads, seafood dishes like scallops and sand dabs as well as a steak dish and desserts that include a unique take on a banana split that’s named after the restaurant’s previous famous owner. “We want to do something more food forward, something a little more healthy, green, more sustainable,” Harris said.
