Description
The Las Flores Inn, a legendary seafood restaurant on the Pacific Coast Highway, is seen here in its original, but modified form in the late 1940s, shortly after it was purchased by proprietor Chris Polos. In the early 1950s, Polos changed the name of the establishment to The Sea Lion Inn, and the restaurant would go through several iterations on this spot over the ensuing decades, due to either expansion or fire. In 1996, this became the site of Duke's Malibu restaurant. On reverse: [printed] The rendezvous of the stars. Home of the seals. Private Beach. Specializing in Sea Food, Best in the west. Come as you are, you will be welcome.
