Old-School Palos Verdes Seafood Restaurant to Close After Over 50 Years

52-year-old Admiral Risty’s departure

The Admiral Risty is one of Southern California’s many decades-old restaurants, and its final days are here. The Los Angeles Times reports the Palos Verdes restaurant is closing on August 10, just a few months shy of its fifty-third birthday. Those hoping to catch Admiral Risty’s broiled or basted surf, classic turf cuts, or chicken Oscar one last time, will need to make a reservation. After one glance at Opentable, it’s a good idea to do this soon, make the trek to Admiral Risty’s, and take in its killer view of the Pacific.
