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.

Huge portions! Fred Flintstone will be proud. Went on Christmas Eve and seating was quick. Getting the drinks took a bit. Food was a bit slow. The portions are shareable. We both got prime rib and while delicious, it wasn’t melt in my mouth buttery like 5 Crowns. So go for the ambience and enjoy the restaurant. Dinner for 2 came to $225 with one cocktail and 2 starters

Great food and beautiful Christmas atmosphere. We love coming here for Christmas Eve. But heads up they charge automatic gratuity on parties of 5 not 6 or 8 like most places.

We visit twice a year for a birthday and an anniversary. This time around, the quality of the meat was exceptional, but the bread basket, twice baked potatoes and the trifle was old and dry. The holiday decor was a pleasant surprise and well done. This restaurant is long over due for a major remodel, but it adds to the charm and nostalgia of dining at this establishment.

We have dined here several times and always enjoy it. Going different times of the year to see the decor is always fun too. Our recent visit started out wonderful being able to get seated right away even though our reservation was for a later time. We always love going to Gulliver’s!

At the start we were preparing for a disaster we had a reservation and had to wait 35 minutes after our reservation to get sat for just two people. there were two hostesses and the manager at the podium. One of the hostesses was on her phone the entire time we were waiting watching TikTok‘s. The other one was the one who helped us the most, and she was sweet and nice. When they finally called our table we walked up and the manager said oh it’s two men take them to a different table . He then proceeded to say I thought you were a man and a woman and a very derogatory sounding way once we got to the table our server was fantastic and the food was spot on. Maybe they were just having a bad day upfront I would still recommend this place. We go there every year for Christmas tradition.
