Perched atop the Del Mar Plaza in the heart of the Village, Pacifica Del Mar has remained a local gem for years as one of the neighborhood’s most sought-after places to dine, wine and gather with friends and family. Their menu showcases casual and inspired fare - like fresh seafood, steak and pasta - complimented by an award-winning wine list and creative cocktails.

Whether you choose to dine on their cozy ocean view patio, or join them in our vibrant dining room or bar, their warm service and great food and drink will provide a memorable dining experience.

We look forward to seeing you at Pacifica Del Mar.

    Excellent place, great food, service was good but has room for improvement, a little slow. Bread was amazing, but recognize there is a charge for each basket of bread. Surf and turf advertised is for Tuesday’s and Wednesdays only. Overall good place, we would return and we also recommend.

    My experience at Pacifica Del Mar was outstanding. From the moment we walked in the door until my family and I left, we were treated with professionalism and outstanding service. The wait staff was extremely attentive and provided answers to all of our questions about their food. That was the best part; the food was above and beyond our expectations. The presentation was picture worthy. We found the wine selection exquisite and enjoyed our dinner immensely.

    Food and service were both outstanding. Fish tacos were delicious and we had the crispy brussel sprouts for an appetizer and they were amazing. Sat at a table on the glass over looking the water which made for a very nice lunch. Recommend this restaurant.

    It was hard to avoid mushrooms (which so love but those with me did not and found hard as a pairing with seafood). Waitress was amazing.

    The ambience and service was good as always, but we were disappointed in the food. Although we told the server that we liked the halibut slightly undercooked, it came well done and somewhat dried out anyway. To their credit we were comped on our main courses. Our calamari appetizers were unusually tough. We've been coming here for many years and believe the restaurant is losing ground on food quality & preparation over the last year or so.
