Back on August 21, I posted about the eminent closure of the popular Pacific Palisades seafood eatery Gladstone's 4 Fish to make way for a new restaurant of cuisines by Wolfgang Puck.  

Gladstone's 4 Fish was one of my favorite restaurants in the Los Angeles area.

Well, it looks like Angelenos will be able to enjoy Gladstone's for another two years. The restaurant has been given a two-year reprieve.

The Malibu Times reported:

Gladstones restaurant which was scheduled to close last month has been given a reprieve. The iconic restaurant, once the highest grossing eatery in Los Angeles, has reopened under new management and is expected to keep its lease for at least two years.

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors controls the concession which had an agreement with the late former LA Mayor Richard Riordan. When the agreement ran out the county found a new concessionaire with famed restaurateur Wolfgang Puck who won the bid. Puck hired LA architect Frank Gehry to redesign the tired structure. While the Puck group waits at least two years to secure permits the county decided not to let the space sit empty.
