Diner Reviews
  • "Lunch with friends from out of town. Great spot to eat before heading to Golden Gate Park. We all had Blood Orange Margarita's! Excellent drink! Followed by Fish & chips combo - oysters, coconut shrimp and cod. All flavors unique and delicious. The service was outstanding. Very attentive server. Cannot wait to go back again."

  • "Waited forever for food and had to ask for everything...refill drink, sugar for tea, salt and pepper. Busy day but no apologies."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Pretty good cocktails and fish although I wish there would be a bit more variety in terms of fish offered."
    Dined on 6/16/2013
  • "This restaurant was more casual than we expected - definitely not romantic or elegant. But the food and service were good."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Great food, great happy hour, kid friendly, great staff , great wine list. What more do you want?? Tuesday happy hours have 1/2 off on bottles of wine. They don't have a prix fix menu but they do have a full bar ,a great wine list & the February menu has many crab specialties. If you are going to the De Young Museum or the Aquarium, it is within walking distance. I hesitate to recommend it as it is a local special place."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I love Pacific Catch. I have been there a lot of times and this night was particularly good. The crab dumplings are to die for and our server Adriana was very nice and just made the evening even more pleasant."
    Dined on 2/6/2014
  • "Our son requested this restaurant for his 6th birthday...and we all loved the food, and hospitality."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "The food was okay, typical chain food. I had the crab melt and it was a bit greasy and a little overpriced. You can get better fish tacos at a taco truck."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "The poke salad is unbelievable - order the trio for some less traditional variations. Very friendly service - our waiter was really helpful checking ingredients for my sister who has food allergies"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Our meal was okay. Maybe it would have been better if we had made other selections. The location is popular."
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "Got seated promptly at our reservation time. Everyone in our group of 4 enjoyed the meal--appetizer, rice bowls, salads, and tacos. It was not too loud to have a conversation, but it was close--you really had to concentrate at a table near the kitchen in the open room with no acoustic noise limitations."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Service was slow. Then they brought soup and entrees at the same time! and expressed surprise that we didn't think that appropriate."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "We went to Pacific Catch after seeing an exhibit at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, as Pacific Catch is just outside of the Park on 9th and Lincoln. The food is very good, and the wait staff was equally good. An added bonus is the small parking lot they have next to the restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner very much and highly recommend Pacific Catch."
    Dined on 11/12/2013
  • "This is a good place for lunch. Great location for the museum and you can walk from the museum. They do have parking. The food was good well priced. Fish tacos were good and so was the fish and chips sweet potato fries. If we were in the neighborhood I would go again."
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "Great neighborhood place for locals and tourists. The Californian feel where the menu was healthy and everyone was laid back was just the perfect thing we were looking for after a day of hiking and sightseeing. The food portions are HUGE yet the prices were reasonable. Our leftovers would not keep in our hotel so we made a homeless guy down by the wharf thrilled that he was going to have a warm meal that evening. This place was nice and we really enjoyed our meal."
    Dined on 12/19/2013
  • "Second time for lunch here while visiting the Cal Academy. Food is excellent in quality and preparation, portions generous. Note: this place packs out, so be sure to make reservations. Service can get in the weeds if you do not arrive early."
    Dined on 1/3/2014
  • "This is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's great for getting together with friends, since it's big enough that we don't feel we're rude if we have a two hour or so lunch - time to chat, maybe exchange presents, and ask the waitress to take photos. The food is good and there are a variety of dishes for different tastes. I usually stick with the fish tacos and my husband prefers the ahi sandwich. There are also rice bowls which can be made lighter by asking for salad to replace half the rice, and fish plates. We prefer lunch since we enjoy parking in Golden Gate Park and walking to and from the restaurant. The area is difficult for finding parking, worse so in the evening, and the restaurant's parking lot is very small."
    Dined on 1/4/2014
  • "We ate here on a Friday nite. The food and staff were wonderful, but the place is a little edgy and the neighborhood is a lot edgy. Our car window was broken and our camera was stolen. Silly us to leave it exposed, but I wasn't looking to be in an area where I needed to worry quite so much."
    Dined on 1/3/2014
  • "Pacific Catch continues to be a very good choice for a neighborhood restaurant. The salmon and beef teriyaki bowl is very filling and I even had leftovers for the next meal."
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "My book group always has dinner here before our meetings. It is a real delight and always reliable"
    Dined on 12/18/2013
  • "Pacific Catch is a great neighborhood restaurant that has fast service and a great menu. It's a perfect place for a group, or a family with children, but also a great cheap date spot. The food is always fresh and well prepared, not to mention quickly served."
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "small portions for the price. Service was extremely helpful, mgr discounted our tab which we appreciated. Still the restaurant is pricey, albeit not particularly relaxing with the pounding music, due to the small protein accompanied by mounds of rice."
    Dined on 11/24/2013
  • "Enjoyed my previous first dining experience there back in late March (poke rice bowl) far more than his time. Wanting something different than the mixed basket ordered by the other two in our party, I had the calamari appetizer and single serving of poke as my meal. The poke was ok, however, the calamari was quite lacking in substance. The pieces of calamari were so small and thinly sliced that it was mostly fried batter/coating with not much calamari. Probably should have ordered a fish dinner instead."
    Dined on 11/22/2013
  • "Grabbed lunch here and the food was good but we were a bit put off because we were seated and a lady brought water and siverware and said the name of our server who would be there but no one ever showed up even though other tables around us were seated and giving orders. We finally caught the eye of a manager or someone and she found us a server to take our order. On the good side they offered to comp our appetizer for the slow service so it all turned out alright. I only mention it so if you go and get caught up in no man's land you should say something. The interior design is quite nice and the menu items all looked good and our food and drinks were fine once we got them."
    Dined on 11/8/2013
  • "My husband & I were pleased with the value of the menu items here. The fish & seafood were well prepared and reasonably priced. My only complaint was the screaming kids at the next table. Once they left, we enjoyed our meal."
    Dined on 11/1/2013
  • "I come here probably every two weeks - with my family, my mom, my friends. Love food which is unique. Love service and ambiance. Some of the waiters know me by name and we talk like friends. Especially Chelsea and Elizabeth. Love this place!!!"
    Dined on 11/9/2013
  • "Food was good. Service ok. Didn't care for the health insurance add on to the bill."
    Dined on 10/29/2013
  • "I have eaten here before (a place with free parking in SF is hard to pass up), but the service this time really stood out. Our waitress was super attentive even though she seemed to have lots of tables to cover, remembered some special requests, and checked in on us at the perfect intervals. The food was delicious...we'll be back!"
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "Came here with my team for a work meeting and was pleasantly surprised by the service and food quality. Our table loved the sticky ribs and the poke sampler. They made an accommodation for us when one of our party wanted a seasonal drink that they typically serve during the summer. They made it for her no problem. They were super cool about letting us stay a long time too. Thanks!"
    Dined on 10/21/2013
  • "pretty good stuff. I like the salad-like entrees. I like the look and feel of the space, and it has a small parking lot to boot. Most of the trendier places in this neighborhood can be hard to get into at prime time, and while Pacific Catch can also get crowded, it's often more welcoming."
    Dined on 10/6/2013
  • "Amazing and friendly waitstaff! Food was wonderful, and the ambiance was perfect. I would love to come back again and try other dishes. PS, the spicy fries were to die for!"
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "I enjoyed the variety of choices which made it easy to pick what our party of four wanted. The hostess was very nice both over the phone and once we got to the resturant. Our waitress was excellant. Very reasonable price for meals for family of four in San Francisco. After meal great shops to look around. Nothing to saybut a great experience."
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "The clam chowder in a bread bowl was dissapointing to my guest. I had my usual which was excellent as always. One needs to pick and choose carefully."
    Dined on 10/20/2013
  • "Expensive food, not enough selections to choose from, they should have variety of fish to choose from. They ned to revised the menu. The music is too load. I will never go back nor recommend to friends."
    Dined on 10/18/2013
  • "I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner, and enjoyed it very much both times. The menu is large with several themes like San Francisco classics, poke bowls, rice bowls, sushi, and then full entrees and appetizers too. Everything tasted fresh and good."
    Dined on 10/6/2013
  • "I love the fresh fish dishes at Pacific Catch - ceviche, poke, rice bowls. However, when the restaurant is full, the noise level is almost deafening."
    Dined on 9/22/2013
  • "Families and dogs (outside!) are welcome - love this place and the fish tacos! yum! Reasonably priced too!"
    Dined on 9/2/2013
  • "the general manger shawn is one of the best front men in the restaurant business. his professionalism carries through to the whole staff. always a wonderful experience, thanks pacific catch."
    Dined on 9/20/2013
  • "Don't be fooled by its average exterior, somewhat banal interior and noisy family tone, once you hit the varied menu and exciting dishes, you find this is no ordinary restaurant. The food was very exciting and the dishes copious, the service personal and painstaking and the fare tremendous value for the money, all the more so because bottles of wine are offered at half price on Tuesday nights. We had crispy calamari to start with, a Japanese Wasabi bowl with Hawaiian Poke and a Hawaiian Teriyaki bowl with Grilled Mahi-Mahi respectively, followed by a delicious fried spring roll dolce de lecce with vanilla ice cream. Waitress Erica was warm, patient and helpful and manager Sean popped in to greet us. A great experience all round."
    Dined on 9/18/2013
  • "Food and service were excellent. Easy to get a table. The ambience is a little lacking, it's a large space without a cozy feel. But, great for kids and groups."
