    We had an amazing dinner celebrating my husbands birthday. The food was spectacular full of flavor and great portions. The ambience was great and the service was outstanding. We had our kids with us this evening and had the most beautiful birthday dinner. Ohhh and we had one of the best seats in the house. Our view overlooking El Paseo in the evening was the icing on the cake. Thank you for a beautiful evening Pacifica.

    We love coming to Pacifica each year when in the Dezert. Wonderful menu with varied choices. It’s beautifully lit at night. Service was outstanding. Five out of the six diners had the swordfish dish. The fish was cooked perfectly however the accompanying corn relish and guacamole was spicier than in years past. Our preference would be to lower the heat a bit. We fished the night with a “ birthday slice” of ice cream pie comped by the house which was very nice. We ordered the bourbon bread putting which we found to be ok but not a big winner. Overall it is still one of our favorites!

    I had the most incredible seafood stew! A rich, flavorful mix of mussels, white fish, salmon, shrimp, and lobster, all perfectly cooked in lobster bisque. The addition of white rice made it even more satisfying. Absolutely delicious!

    A little pricey, but great option if you’re celebrating something. Service was friendly and food was good. The baked scallop appetizer was fantastic and would definitely recommend.
