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 took my parents to Gulliver‘s for their wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. We had a variety of things from the prime rib to the truffle mashed potatoes, and everything was delicious. We made early reservations and by the time we left, the place was packed. They certainly know what they are doing in the kitchen and proved to our family once again why they have been in business for decades.

We love Gulliver's for the food and especially the service. First the service: We had requested a specific section of the restaurant, and they seated us in it as we requested. However, there were two extremely large Christmas parties in the area and the kids at the table were very noisy. Christmas Holiday cheer. We asked if we could be moved, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating and immediately moved us to a different table away from the noise. Very professional. The food: My wife and I split a Gulliver's salad and a prime rib dinner. For a small fee they give each of you a portion of Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach and the marvelous, creamed corn. More than enough for two people and the best prime rib in Orange County. Dennis, our server, was wonderful. Attentive without being intrusive. suggesting ways to enhance the dinner. As with all of the servers, great! Will be back soon.

Ordered the shrimp cocktail appetizer. Shrimp were huge and tasty. Had the house salad that is always wonderful. Had the Gullivers prime rib that is always the best I’ve had anywhere. Never disappointed in it. One of my favorite places to dine.
