    My hubby loves the baked scallops! Actually craves them so we try to come often. I love the clam chowder soup!! He also had the ahi tartar and I had the salad wedge. Our waiter was amazing too.

    Four of us dined during a visit to Palm Springs on the recommendation of a friend from L.A. who wanted us to have an extraordinary experience. It did not disappoint. All of the dishes were incredibly well done. I had the Seafood Stew and it was better than my former favorite restaurant dish, Scoma's cioppino. The scallops in the shell, calamari with wasabi aioli, and salmon were all hits. And, I must have eaten a whole loaf of the sourdough bread that was brought to the table, repeatedly. Can't say enough good things about Pacifica.

    We dined there on a Thursday evening. Everything was fine but we did think it too a bit too long for our food to come out. We only ordered entrees and waited about 25 min for our dinner.

    Something has changed at Pacifica Seafood. We always like to visit this restaurant when we are in Palm Desert. The menu and food was not the same quality. The menu had very few options. My husband ordered scollops for $24.00 and there was two small scallops on his plate and nothing more. I had a shrimp Louie. The shrimp were large and tough. I had to ask for dressing.
