@southbaylife: For nearly 53 years, Admiral Risty was a familiar destination for special occasions in Palos Verdes. Opened in 1966 at Golden Cove Shopping Center in Rancho Palos Verdes, the restaurant was founded by Ralph Wood Jr. and named after his wife, Barbara “Risty” Wood. Known for its steak and seafood, ocean views, and nautical decor, Admiral Risty became a popular destination for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and family dinners. Generations of South Bay residents celebrated milestones here, with some employees spending decades at the restaurant. On August 17, 2019, Admiral Risty closed after its owners were unable to reach an agreement on a new lease. In the weeks leading up to its closure, reservations filled as longtime customers returned for one final meal. Today, a Chase Bank occupies the former restaurant building at 31250 Palos Verdes Drive West. Do you remember dining at Admiral Risty? What stands out most about your visits? #southbay #losangeles #palosverdes #redondobeach #torrance
