    We had the bacon wrapped dates, sweet potato soup, pacifica salad, and seared sea bass. All were excellent-the soup was exceptionally delicious. We dined outside with a heater overlooking El Paseo street. Very quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

    A group of friends decided to go out to dinner. We booked Pacifica because they are pretty consistent. There were 6 of us and they sat us outside (which was fine). The tables are on the smaller side and they were so close together we did not have room to move - kinda felt like sardines in a can. The waiter was friendly - he got one persons order wrong and my friend - being polite - just ate what they brought her. We did have to flag our waiter down for silverware and drinks a couple times. It was so noisy you could not carry on a conversation.. if the patio wasn’t packed with so many tables it would help with the noise level. Ambiance is such an important part of dining. The food was delicious.

    Excellent food (several entrees are available in half portions), great service, and lovely ambience. We sat inside, for the first time, and it was quiet and cozy. We enjoyed the sea bass, the scallops, and salmon entrees, a great wedge salad, and the bacon wrapped dates as a starter. The pineapple lemon drop and the blueberry lemon drop were both delish, a smidge less sweet than we prefer so we asked for some extra simple syrup and they were perfect. We will be back.

    Arrived from out of town and went for early dinner to celebrate my local friend’s 65th birthday. Outdoor seating closest to the view were reserved so we opted for indoor seating. Service was great. . Had cocktails first. And calamari. We did the sunset dinner which was a great value. I ordered the clam chowder which was delicious. She ordered the sweet potato soup which she liked but said was very rich so she only tasted it so she wouldn’t get full. It was a bowl of soup so I got pretty full. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Served on mashed potatoes with green beans. They comped an ice cream cake slice with candle. I’d definitely go back with my golf friends when we’re in town.

    Excellent food and service. Celebrated my birthday here and they gave me a free dessert with a candle on it. I also loved that they had 1/2 portions for several of the entries. It was just enough food for me. The seared ahi couldn't be better! Thank you for a fantastic birthday dinner! It was a highlight of the day for me.

    An overall excellent dining experience. Our server, Santiago, was exceptional; knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. Pacifica was its usual well run experience. The ambience is very nice. The food was delicious. There were two orders of Chilean Sea Bass that were outstanding. There was also an order of Short Ribs that was excellent. The starter bowl of Sweet Potato Soup was perfect. All in all a wonderful experience. We will be back and would recommend Pacifica to everyone we know.
