Neptune's Net
Neptune's Net is a seafood restaurant and biker bar in Malibu, California. 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 an 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. In the 60s, Jacobs leased the restaurant to a Venice family, who took a shot in the "restaurant" business. There were John and Jean Leech, their three children, Myrna, Richard and Becky, Grandparents, Ollie and Kathryn. The whole family worked there from 6:00am until 9:30pm. All the surfers loved John for allowing them to work for a cup of coffee and breakfast. The hardworking family decided to move back to L.A. when rumor surfaced of a proposed  eminent domain forcing a road right through the property east to the 101. 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.
