    Every time I go to Pacific Coast Grill I’m reminded of why it’s one of my favorites. The view is insane (in the sand, try to be there for sunset, it’s magical) and their menu is great, practically everything is a yes, fantastic seafood options and seriously good sushi rolls. But the stand out is the service, we had Jenna B. As our server and she made the evening extra special - great recommendations, so nice and helpful, the best service in recent memory! Can’t wait to go back!

    The food, view and ambience were wonderful. Food and drinks came quickly, but it was hard to order a second glass of wine. By the time I got the waitress's attention, I didn't get the wine until I was finished with the meal. Would've been nice to have had wine to accompany the last half of my meal as the food was excellent!
