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.

    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.

    We go all the time but this was for Valentine’s Day. We sat at the bar first for a drink and then went to our lovely table #4. Food was great and quick. A glass of wine made the perfect complement to a great dinner!

    Dennis is fantastic, as is everyone else in the bar. Significant complaint is a large party that comes in every Friday evening and sits on the outdoor patio. The constant opening and closing of the door between the patio and the bar is very bothersome. Cold breezes all the time. This was especially problematic because this was our Valentines evening dinner, and it was constantly interruptive. I would strongly suggest that for future holiday events during cold weather, the patio be closed.

    Food was excellent (best prime rib ever). Service was prompt. A couple minor issues. Food could have been served hotter. Small signs of management lack of attention to details; some bulbs in chandelier not functional; mismatched chairs at some tables; some wait staff sloppily dressed. These details detacted from what otherwise would have been an excellent fine dining experience. Cost is somewhat high but this is expected in Orange County CA
