    The menu is such fun. You can get small dishes which are ample in size for those with smaller appetites or as a shareable. The sword fish and ribs were excellent ! I wasn’t excited about the salad but the little neck clams were awesome! Great service!!

    I took a shot in the dark choosing Pacifico for dinner before the show I was attending at Schubert. I brought my 86-year-old father, who can be resistant to fusion style food. We were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Staff, food, ambience, music . . . everything was wonderful. We were greeted by the manager (owner?) and had a lovely chat as well. I will definitely be going back in the future.

    My book club had an amazing time tonight. Everything was set up perfectly and the service was out of this world. The staff did everything we wanted and more, above and beyond comfortable. They made it feel like home for us. We will be returning again for sure! I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant at anytime of the day.
