An institution in Dallas dining for over 40 years, Cafe Pacific embodies sophistication while remaining decidedly unpretentious. Our friendly "neighborhood seafood restaurant" has garnered praise both locally and nationally for its casual elegance. You’ll dine in the warm glow of dark mahogany, rich marble, etched glass and polished brass. The walls are adorned with art from the owner's collection.

    Everything about Cafe Pacific is top-notch! Loved the variety of the menu, and the ability to enjoy a working dinner combining co-workers and vendors with service that was both timely and well-paced. Looking forward to returning with my wife for a date night soon.

    Wonderful food service and ambiance!!The hosts were so accommodating, putting us at a great booth. Our server, Reuben was fabulous and entertaining. All of our dishes were superb. The ambiance is upscale, yet warm, relaxed and comfortable. And it’s never loud so conversation is easy. We loved it!

    Our waiter was very efficient, had a thorough knowledge of the menu and had an engaging personality. The bartender knows how to mix a good cocktail! All our food came out perfect.

    Went there for lunch. My companion and I both had the clam chowder for an appetizer. It was thick (not creamy), tasteless brownish concoction, with few discernable clams and some veggies. Must have been thickened with flour or cornstarch, but just not what I expect from a restaurant specializing in seafood. And hardly the best way to start off the meal. I had the Seafood Salad (shrimp and crab). It was OK, but again fairly tasteless. My friend had the Crab Louie Salad and had the same comment about it. A very disappointing experience.
