Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. From the day we opened we've been mindful about where our ingredients come from and how to bring to life the vibrant flavors and feeling of the Pacific. It's our commitment to our guests to keep things interesting, innovative, wholesome and thoughtfully sourced. That's why we've formalized our relationship with the Monterey Bay Seafood Aquarium's Seafood Watch, James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch and the Surfrider Foundation by becoming a partner and bringing on a director of sustainability to help steward these efforts.

We will be following the most stringent protocols on cleaning, sanitization, social distancing, and protections for employee health including temperature taking and the use of protective masks and gloves.

    Had our annual neighborhood anniversary dinner here; and were not disappointed! I had the grilled Kampachi with Asian chimichurri with grilled Brussels Sprouts and Broccolini, and he had the spicy Alaskan cod fish tacos, and our kid had the trio of ceviche and spicy ahi tuna poke appetizer samplers. Everything was tasty and excellent! Especially our kids' order and mine! Then, our server, a nice lady named Sonam kindly brought us a dessert menu where we chose the pineapple upside down cake and she recommended the coconut ice cream to go with it; and it was absolutely wonderful; we felt transported to Hawaii! The restaurant treated us to one dessert on our anniversary; which was so kind! We left a nice tip also! Decor was nicely upscale tropical for our anniversary too; and background music was pleasant and not too loud for a conversation. TVs were on to watch the all-star B-Ball. A perfect evening with the family!

    Service was good Abe quick. Food was alright. Lobster tail came out over cooked. Calamari was smaller portion than would have liked for the price. Fun date night, would come back and try different menu items.

    The Hawaiian Bowl was outstanding! The wine selection is very good. The staff is ALWAYS efficient and friendly. I had asked for a particular table but wasn’t given it. Not sure why they didn’t, but I expected that as in the past the restaurant would honor my request. But that’s not important in the big picture. Maybe next time.

    Great service as always but the Hawaiian poke bowl was not fresh. The poke and spiced poke was too gummy, not fresh at all. Too bad, liked the veg surrounding it though.

    A friend and I had an excellent lunch today and will definitely return. The server was thoughtful and attentive (as was the host) and the salmon “bowl” I ordered was exceptionally good. The combination of ingredients made for a complete meal and everything was fresh and delicious. I’d highly recommend this spot for lunch or dinner.

    We are neighborhood regulars, and brought our guests from Kansas City in for dinner. Jordan was a great server, and didn't kick us out (as we were the last guests of the day!). With a new menu, it took us a hot minute to read it over and find our favorites. A great selection of poke bowls, a variety of poke, variety of fish tacos, and plates like Fish-and-Chips or Surf and Turf. We all enjoyed our meals and cocktails as well. Very consistent. Very well done. Great work team.
