Best Casual Restaurants in Del Mar

Great fresh food, this is my second time there and my wife and I love it. Great staff and the selections of food are unique and incredibly tasty.

Fantastic service and ambience, just a little noisty.

Sam set us up with a great table for Father’s Day brunch. Great food and drinks. Will definitely be back.

First visit to Pacifica with some out of town friends. We chose it for the view and the food, even though we hadn't been in years. Overall it was a hit on both counts. They've changed the menu to add some non-seafood items, so the fish selection was limited, which is too bad. The preparations have a lot of Asian influences and flavors, and the food was a bit uneven. Excellent items were the mixed green, heirloom and burrata salads, a generous portion of ahi (with overcooked carrots), very large crab cake (meal size), and the frites with the steak frites were addictive. The skirt steak was tough (often an issue), but had good flavor. Desserts were very good, although they had run out of their house special blackberry cobbler at lunch, and had none available at dinner?? We enjoyed the mocha semifreddo and a very nice, light creme brulee. Excellent decaf coffee and espresso! Some of the best we've had anywhere. But the best part was our server, Jason. Great sense of humour, an excellent table side manner, and professional but friendly service.

great service, delicious food, will eat here again
