Or, so we thought..
Due to unfortunate traffic conditions, our view along PCH wasn't so glamorous, and my dreams of spotting Hollywood starlets and swooning over old-fashion cars, came to a screeching hault with road signs and 20-car pile ups.
Oh well, we made the best of it and stopped at Gladstones Restaurant in Pacific Palisades.
The place was packed, with indoor/outdoor seating.
Large parties had an excessive wait time. We only waited 30 minutes. Good thing because we were both starving!
Alas, indoor booth seating with a view.
The free sourdough bread and whipped butter is a carb-ovore's best friend! 
...and their calamari is chopped fresh and seasoned to perfection.
Delicious tip: squeeze lemon juice on top of the calamari for additional taste.
(No picture to show: we ate it too fast!)
Snapped a few cute photos, and we were back in the car to head home. It was such a nice getaway from the usual hustle and bustle of our local town.
Whether you live in California, or are just visiting, I would suggest a trip up the coast. There's plenty to see and many restaurants along the highway, not to mention it's great for a romantic date, casual dining with friends or a mini trip with the family. Enjoy!
