Our Story
Since 1972
Gladstone's began on the Malibu coast serving fresh seafood overlooking the Pacific. Our San Diego location continues that tradition on the beautiful waterfront at Seaport Village.
Every dish tells a story of the sea — from our signature lobster to our famous clam chowder — all served with the most breathtaking harbor views in the city.
Waterfront Dining
Sit right on the harbor with panoramic views of San Diego Bay and the marina.
Fresh Catch Daily
We source the freshest seafood from local fishermen and premium purveyors every single day.
California Vibes
Laid-back atmosphere, golden sunsets, and the warm ocean breeze — pure San Diego magic.
