Neptune's Net is a seafood restaurant and biker bar in Malibu, California.[2] The landmark has been featured in countless television and film productions.

History

In 1956, the site began as a gas station, real-estate office, and restaurant called Panorama Pacific at Solimar on property owned by Eastman N. "Jake" Jacobs near the Pacific Coast Highway on the Ventura-Los Angeles county line. The locals soon began calling the restaurant - which served burgers, sandwiches and fried seafood classics - simply Jake's Diner. Jacobs was was a aerodynamicist and engineer who contributed major advances in aeronautics, including the design and applications of advanced airfoils and wind tunnels, and initial studies of then-futuristic concepts such as jet propulsion and nuclear fusion.[3][4] In 1974, Jacobs sold the place to Paul Seay and his wife Dolly, and the couple changed the name to Neptune's Net. Chong Lee and his wife Michelle purchased the restaurant from the Seays on July 4, 1991, and are the current owners.[5][6][7]
