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.

I was disappointed in the service and the quality of the food . Did not consider it ranked as good as in the past, For the last three years I have gone to Gulliver's around the 1st, This year, especially, I found everything outstanding. The personnel were very attentive. The atmosphere wonderful and the quality of the food excellent. My family will be at Gulliver's next year.

Unfortunately the food was mediocre and it seemed like our server couldn’t be bothered.. Every time he came to our table he was running off before we could even speak or ask for something. As for our food: My med-rare prime rib was more like black and blue to rare, it was hard to cut into and very chewy. The Caesar salads were drenched in dressing, too salty, and had an over powering fishy taste. This restaurants prices don’t match up to the quality of food they are serving.

The prime rib is served with creamed spinach a pop up and unlimited creamed corn. Most steak houses serve you the meat only and you pay for the sides, this a great value. It’s the holiday season and Gullivers did a fabulous job making the restaurant into a Christmas wonderland. If you want to celebrate the new year this is a great place to start! Thanks for a great night out!!
