Best Cozy Restaurants in Solana Beach

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.

Very good meal. Service excellent. Ambience always lovely. One of our San Diego finds!

Service was fantastic. The Host was attentive and knew just what to recommend. The food was only okay, not great, but the ambiance and service made it an above par restaurant with a special feel.

Food was good. They ran out of items on menu. Went there to celebrate our anniversary.

great service, delicious food, will eat here again
