Returned to the restaurant after our favorite place stopped serving brunch/breakfast food (Pacific Coast Grill in Cardiff). The remodel of the patio at Pacifica Del Mar is great. We all decided to put it back on our top go to list.

Unfortunately the quality of the food was not up to the quality of the service. The Brussels and the calamari were great… my salmon was ordered medium, it was well done and a very small piece given the $40+ price. Overall, the food was disappointing… I think they can do better, and there are much better places for fish along the coast.

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.
