Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. From the day we opened we've been mindful about where our ingredients come from and how to bring to life the vibrant flavors and feeling of the Pacific. It's our commitment to our guests to keep things interesting, innovative, wholesome and thoughtfully sourced. That's why we've formalized our relationship with the Monterey Bay Seafood Aquarium's Seafood Watch, James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch and the Surfrider Foundation by becoming a partner and bringing on a director of sustainability to help steward these efforts. We will be following the most stringent protocols on cleaning, sanitization, social distancing, and protections for employee health including temperature taking and the use of protective masks and gloves.

    Cocktail came out at room temperature when it needed to be chilled. Food came out at room temperature not even lukewarm. After a trip back to the kitchen Brussels sprouts came out all charred and barely edible. At this point pretty much gave up on them. The experience was very different from the Pacific Eats at Mountain View and not in a good way. These guys need to get their act together if they have any desire to stick around. Would not be coming back.

    Pacific Catch offers a great dining experience with fresh seafood and excellent service. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful, the miso cod was perfectly cooked with a rich, savory glaze, and the fish tacos had a great balance of texture and taste. The old fashioned was well-made, adding to the enjoyable meal. Our server, Victor, was attentive and friendly, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. Overall, a solid spot for seafood lovers—just shy of five stars, but definitely worth a visit!

    I went to dine with my girlfriend on Valentine's day, mind you we are both 16. I've had the same experience before, but it tends to happen at certain places where we get a minute or two to look at the menu before we're being asked what we want to order to eat. Our appetizers came out relatively fast, and they were good, I am not trying to criticize the food, but when we were halfway done with our appetizer her food came out. Our entrees did not even come out at the same time. A few minutes later mine did, and at that point i wanted to take my time to talk and have a good evening, and we tried to prolong our meals a bit. It feels as if I get rushed often, almost as if people my age were not allowed to dine in restaurants and were being rushed out. It definitely gets to a point. Otherwise the food is excellent and I would recommend it to people my age that either don't bother eating a rapidly brought out meal or anyone else looking for good seafood.

    The calamari was a flavorful, hot and crunchy. The black cod was cooked perfectly and came with generous portion of furikake rice and tasty green beans. The espresso martini was smooth and just right. The inside dining room is roomy and bright, but the seating is a little worn out.

    The restaurant was not busy. Took 20 minutes to get our food. And it was lunch! One person ordered sushi and her chopsticks arrived 5 minutes after getting her food
