Best Cozy Restaurants in Solana Beach

We had a reservation at 800pm after sunset. We were not able to get a sunset reservation just hard to get. Don't worry they have lights shining into the ocean so you see the waves coming in even after dark. The service was great and just a nice place. Food was good not great but good. This is a great spot for a date or couples to enjoy the drive from San Diego to a nice place to enjoy the company.

Joseph was awesome food was incredible highly recommend!

My wife and I enjoyed ourselves. We were sat promptly on the patio with the option to sit inside if it was too cold. There were multiple heaters keeping us comfortable. The view of the beach was great. John took great care of us and led us into two amazing dishes, the Hokkaido Scallops and the Seabass. The Seabass was the best I’ve ever had. We split a Ceasar (very good) and had a couple drinks. The bread rolls were underwhelming and I had requested a champagne split on my reservation that we didn’t receive but the overall experience was still great. The only thing we would do different is book earlier to catch the sunset.

We got there on time and they are still getting ready for us but the hostess seat right away, our server started us with our drink and we decided to get the sangria to share. My wife is hungry so we didn't wait for her to get our drinks, we ask her if we can order our food and we started with the tamales and Yuquitas. The Yuquita is really good and the tamales comes with the salad. We ordered a bowl of soup for my wife but was told that they are not serving soup because of Valentines Day dinner so we went for the roasted beets salad for the wife, the roasted beets is really sweet. I went for the Lamb stew with rice and the spouse wants to try the seafood macho with Peruvian Fried rice and everything is really good and then we ended the dinner with a tiramisu for dessert, soo good. We were ask by the server if the music is too loud for us and we told it doesn't bother us. I told my wife that we been there before when it was called Secret but she don't remember. Definitely coming back.

Pacifica never disappoints. Delicious food, fantastic service, great ambience and view. I’m a vegetarian and even though Pacifica seems to focus on seafood, their vegetarian options have been creative and delicious every time. Extensive wine selection too, with half-price bottles on Thursdays, it’s a great value.
