    This was the first time I attended Pacific Coast Grill and it was amazing!! I had the halibut with shrimp scampi. The halibut was perfectly cooked and went so well with the scampi and risotto. The atmosphere got a bit loud as the restaurant filled up, but the food definitely overpowered any distractions.

    This is one of the only delicatessens in San Diego county. Therefore, it is a go-to for that style of food and diner ambiance. The service was excellent: attentive, accurate, friendly. The food was good, perhaps a little uninspired. The maitre d', as always, is colorful & efficient. The prices are a little high, I suppose. Parking was difficult because it is situated in a busy shopping center. We enjoyed our time & the setting. We shall return!
