    Having dined here since 1994, I can always be assured that the service and food has been, and will be , consistently outstanding. The ocean views are fantastic, as well. I have never visited San Diego in the past 30 years without eating at Pacifica Del Mar,at least once during my stay.

    Our always favorite restaurant! The food is delicious and the location is spectacular! The special promotion made this celebratory lunch quite reasonable. We shared the soup as our appetizer…delicious! We did not order the bread and butter, but it’s delicious. We had an awesome dessert, so skipped the bread. The salmon was fabulous! It always is! It’s my favorite! My partner had the Thai Chicken Salad. Also fresh and delicious. Our dessert was absolutely amazing! The Triple Chocolate Fredo…it was rich, huge, and fabulous! Grace, our server was friendly and efficient. Great service! Fabulous meal!! Beautiful ocean view!!! Many, many thanks!! 👍👍

    Requested a last minute reservation on a Saturday for a birthday dinner since it's my go-to/favorite sea food restaurant, hoping for the view seats. The team not only sat us at a great table with a lovely ocean view, they wished me a happy birthday and provided great service, as always. We had the delicious sourdough, and the tuna and scallops entrees along with a bottle of wine from the extensive wine list (many price points available). We were surprised with a decadent dessert, complete with candle. And when my husband forgot his credit card, they called immediately so we were able to pick it up before he'd even noticed! Thanks Pacific Del Mar for over 25 years of delicious dining and great service!

    With its stunning views, impeccable service and incredible food, Pacifica hits it out of the park every time! As a consistent staple in this center for years, it’s clear why they continue to successfully thrive.

    I have been here for lunch a few times. The ocean view is beautiful. The food has always been good every time I eat here. Each staff member I interacted with, from the host all the way to bus people, were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    We were immediately seated at a gorgeous window table, but due to it being 12pm, the sun was directly on us - and it became really warm fast! The young gentleman clearing the tables next to us noticed we were struggling with the heat and he kindly asked us if we wanted to move to a table underneath in the shade. We jumped at the chance and it made our experience so much better. Thanks to him, we were able to avoid a very sticky and sweaty situation. Thank you to the young man who was paying attention to how we were feeling. I know we would have stayed sitting in the hot sun for the duration of our meal, had it not been for him. A very special thank you to you, and kudos for your kindness!👏 I'm sorry I didn't ask you for your name, but you know who you are. ❤️ The food appetizer and the two entrees we ordered were tasty, delicious, and worth every bite. We look forward to dining there again.
