    Very nice restaurant, reasonable prices. I love their clam chowder, had two bowls. that and a dinner salad were a full and satisfying meal. My wife had their scallops and polenta. Excellent. Atmosphere nice. The only drawback, they had lots of radiant heaters turned on, the heat was a bit overwhelming. If so much heat bothers you in the outside seating, request a table away from the heat. I'm sure they will accommodate, I will ask next time. Great Location in the Paseo shopping area of Palm Desert, chance to walk around the shops both before and after dinner. A wonderful evening.

    We went on Thanksgiving evening. Many comparable restaurants on OpenTable had a "Thanksgiving Special" and Pacifica did not. That's why we selected it. We did not want to spend $100 a person for the usual Thanksgiving stuff. We were shocked when we were handed the "Thanksgiving Special" menu and told we could not order anything off the regular menu. I could not even substitute ice cream in lieu of one of the special desserts. Even when the dessert I picked was not available because it was sold out. My wife's dessert (she got what she wanted) was soggy. My turkey was lukewarm; no dark meat; no choice about that. Everything tasted good enough that we took it all home in and undoubtedly when reheated tomorrow night it will be much better. That's the way it always is with Thanksgiving anyway. The restaurant is lovely, of course we will go back. The staff had obviously been hustling for hours. At 7pm they were running out of gas. A Swanson TV dinner hot from my toaster oven would have been better; and $200 cheaper.

    Very busy Thanksgiving evening. However staff kept on top of things and meals were delivered hot. The clam chowder was excellent.

    We went there for Thanksgiving. The turkey was tasteless, and the prices were excessive.

    Everything was delicious, and the restaurant was close to 100% full, but there are enough employees to continue with excellent service. We enjoy d eating outdoors and there are heat lamps everywhere. I had chicken and my husband had seafood. There is complimentary bread before your meal, and it is warm when it is brought to the table.

    Winston gave our large party of nine very good service. I especially appreciated his attention and willingness to be lighthearted yet professional. This is the second time our Thanksgiving group has met here and we’ll continue to do so. The blue cheese stuffed olives for my g & t are fantastic and the drink itself actually has liquor in it! Ha ha.

    A stay in Palm Desert always includes dinner at Pacifica Grille. We enjoy the food and the ambience.

    We loved our dinner tonight. My husband had the miso fish that was incredible and I had the mahi Mahon. It was so great. It was the best romesco sauce I've ever had!! Our service was great and a great value for the meal
