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.

Very nice lunch dining experience. We were quickly seated and greeted by our waitress. Unfortunately, I don't recall her name but she was so nice and attentive.

My husband and I had a great lunch here for my birthday today. I had the prime rib and he had the NY pepper steak. We also had a side of the creamed corn, which was great. Very good entrees, sides, and dessert (trifle). Large parking lot outside.

First time going here. Food was decent however the creamed spinach was off. Our ribeye was over powered by the butter compote but otherwise cooked well and had decent flavors. Had a bit of a waiter confusion at the beginning but was resolved fairly quick. All in all it was a good experience. Not sure if we will go back or not.

If you are going here, order the prime rib. Other menu selections were not as good. Our server was just Ok, he did not check back and forgot a salad and other item.

Great place if you like prime rib with all the trimmings. The theming is cute, with the servers in old English attire. The bartenders know how to mix up vintage and classic cocktails to add to your experience. You won’t leave hungry.

I decided to go to this piece of trash establishment they try to call a "restaurant" for my 5 year anniversary but for some reason the hosts decided to give us the worst table possible knowing it was our special night. Sitting at the corner table, we saw a spider trickling down about to land on our table until a fly flew by and was eaten by the spider. Not only was the ambience not good, the food was nothing special. The servers don’t even know their own menu. I asked for a straw multiple times, did not receive a straw. If you're really hungry, it could pass as edible. I would do your self a favor and simply pass on this place. I'd much rather eat at the el Torito right next door or even the airport if possible especially knowing WHAT I KNOW NOW!!

Upon entry, we were left waiting at the podium for a few minutes without anyone ahead of us. We sat and it took longer than expected for service. Our waiter was fantastic once he started, the bruschetta appetizer was 10/10, but the food was 5/10 at best (prime rib & rack of lamb). The lamb was too gamey, too fatty and dry, the prime rib was decent but the cream of spinach was not creamy at all. Asked for the check and still had to wait nearly 25 more minutes till we were able to pay and leave. Beautiful restaurant but it could be better.
