The Summer Luau is a free community event. All are invited to visit the public deck and enjoy the day. No tickets or purchases are required.

Guests wearing Hawaiian shirts and Aloha attire will receive a ticket for a plate of traditional Hawaiian cuisine, a beverage, or ice cream.

Famous Southern California artisanal ice cream shop Fluffy McCloud’s will pop up at the beach from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., serving all-natural, handmade ice cream with a tropical twist.

Our summer luau is a perfect way for people to come to the beach and enjoy the summer with great festive food, entertainment, and a stunning backdrop. We are looking forward to sharing this unique experience with our community. - Jim Harris, chef-partner and co-owner of Gladstones Legacy Group

Gladstones also announces the release of its Papa’s Pilar Private Stock Rum, which will be featured in tropical alcoholic beverages, such as a Mai Tai served in a pineapple and a Pina Colada served in a coconut.

The Gladstones limited edition proprietary rum is aged six months in Hemingway Rye Whiskey barrels, offering a taste of adventure in every sip.

The special luau, Hawaiian plate lunch menu includes a selection of the following entrees that come with a side of mac salad and rice for $15:

• Kalua Pork is a traditional Hawaiian dish of slow-roasted, succulent, fall-apart tender pork marinated in traditional spices.
• Pulled Pork Sliders – Kalua pork nestled in soft, warm Hawaiian rolls.
• Sticky Ribs – These fall-off-the-bone ribs are slow-cooked and smothered in a Hawaiian-style pineapple sauce, tangy soy, and a hint of ginger.
• Huli Huli Chicken - Grilled Chicken in a sweet teriyaki glaze topped with grilled pineapple.

Since 1972, guests have flocked to Gladstones in Pacific Palisades for breathtaking sunsets and seafood-centric dishes. Last year, a new ownership group was created to re-imagine the iconic restaurant and honor Mayor Riordan after his passing.

The Gladstones Legacy Group has embarked on a new era with a fresh California approach, enhanced culinary experiences, and innovative events while maintaining its traditional charm.
