    I had the most incredible seafood stew! A rich, flavorful mix of mussels, white fish, salmon, shrimp, and lobster, all perfectly cooked in lobster bisque. The addition of white rice made it even more satisfying. Absolutely delicious!

    A little pricey, but great option if you’re celebrating something. Service was friendly and food was good. The baked scallop appetizer was fantastic and would definitely recommend.

    This was our 4th time to Pacifica and this restaurant will remain on my top 10 list of restaurants I’ve tried in the Coachella Valley. Service is terrific. Food is great.

    Our Valentine's dinner was perfect from start to finish. Initial service was prompt as we were seated and our wine arrived in short order. The strawberry bruschetta appetizer was a nice touch. We followed with a Caesar salad ,nice and fresh with an anchovy garnish. We opted for medium rare Steak entrees garnished with Brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes. Perfect. The environment is casual dining and a lively ambience. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome and appreciated.

    Service was excellent. A sore spot for me is cold butter and warm bread. One ruins the other. it is little things for the price. The sea bass was very good . My dining partner opted for no glaze and it was better without the glaze. Could use more Pinot selection but all in all, good experience .
