    The service was excellent! We all ordered the Chilean sea bass and it was incredible. It’s very nice they give you the option for half orders of their fine food.

    We’ve been coming to Pacifica annually for many years while visiting the Desert. Today’s meal and service were the best ever! 4 adults and 2 grandkids… and everyone raved about their meal. From kids menus salman and burgers to adults salmon, ahi tuna and sea bass… everything was perfectly done. Outdoor ambiance was terrific on a beautiful Spring evening. As an aside… Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel were in the next both and no one bothered them. Well done!
