About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
In the last four decades Gulliver’s Restaurant has became one of the most popular Prime Rib Restaurant in Southern California.
Gulliver’s hand-selected beef (corn-belt) is slow roasted in a unique patented oven system to assure flavorful, tender and juicy Prime Rib dinners. Gulliver's Restaurant is well known also for its other specialties as in-house aged Prime Steaks, Chateaubriand, Salmon, Rack of Lamb, Baby Back Ribs and roasted Long Island Duck.
As you walk into a Gulliver's you will feel as though you have entered back in time to 18th century England. Guests at the Gulliver’s are surrounded by a veritable museum of leaded glass pieces, pewter and ceramic objects, and a collection of prints from Hogarth, Rowlandson and other Gulliver’s Travels illustrators.
The Portions are huge, the service is gracious and friendly, and most importantly, the beef is cooked to perfection.
Gulliver's is place where memories are created.

    It's been some time since we've been here. Used to frequent for birthdays and other events such as our anniversary. Nothing to do with the restaurant, life just changed ;) It was a quiet evening which kind of surprised me - we were the only guests in the dining room at 7pm. arty of 6 for my wife's birthday. Service was great. Only two of us had prime rib - Gulliver's cut. Mine could have been better - seasoning was a bit bland and cook was more medium than medium rare - probably due to time of night and day of week. Rack of lamb, two chicken dinners and one steak and lobster - no complaints, all enjoyed. Escargot did not disappoint. All and all a good evening out with friends and a good dining experience to make my wife's birthday complete.

    For decades the prime rib and other entrees have been top quality. Unique themed atmosphere and decor contribute to the fun. We enjoyed the House Salad, Filet Mignon & Prime Rib.

    After going here for many years my experience was very disappointing. Took my grandson for prime rib. Came with a large bone and the size of the prime rib was very small compared to what it usually is. My prime rib was also much smaller than usual. Plus the price was $55 for these much smaller ribs. The popover that came with the meal was way over cooked and partially burnt. Service was very good. There was only one waitress managing 6 to 8 tables. There is no question that the restaurant that has been great for so many years is now deteriated with food portions, quality of food and upkeep of decor. My chair cushion had multiple rips. I won’t be back.
