    The service, food and ambience was excellent. However, when we arrived for our 7:00pm reservation, we were told that the wait would be 15 - 20 min. We understood and sat in the bar area. We waited 45 minutes for a table. We understand that patio dining is never guaranteed - but to tell us the wait would be significantly less than it was, and not check back with us with an update (we were seated right beside the hostess) was aggravating. The bar staff was very kind and helpful and the servers, once we were seated were amazing. Respectful communication by your front desk staff with your guests who are waiting is all that it takes to defuse a situation. Your servers and the quality of the food saved the day.

    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!
