The shrimp linguine was delicious, and had such a generous amount of large shrimp! Dish had great flavor, and the sauce was perfect. The rosemary feta fries were so creative and delicious - they were a hit! The truffle ketchup paired with it was perfect as well. Our waitress was so kind, and brought my friend a special free treat for her birthday. Love Beeside :)

The waitress was very knowledgeable of their menu and the ambience of sitting outside almost on the beach at night was so romantic. We will definitely go back and will tell our friends about the restaurant.

The six of us had a very enjoyable experience dining at Pacific Del Mar. The service was awesome! Our water glasses were consistently filled and our server was very attentive to our needs. Our meals were served gently/politely and our table was quickly cleared of finished items (appetizers, etc) Everyone enjoyed their food, although my green beans were over-spiced for my liking. The coffee was very delicious. We would definitely eat here at this very classy restaurant!
