    Excellent meal and the waitress was very good. Cocktails were not the best and the server was a little cranky and abrupt.

    We have eaten at Pacific’s Edge many times over the past twenty years, and while it has always been good, our latest experience was exceptional. At a table with a sunset view, we thoroughly enjoyed the amazing crab cake appetizer, short rib, as well as halibut entrees, and affogato for dessert. In addition, the service was outstanding…attentive, but not overbearing with great pacing to the courses and refilling our glasses with the wine we brought.

    Always enjoy the dining experience here as food and service are consistently good. Love getting the bonus dollars from Laundry Club membership. Enjoyed the complimentary mud pie to observe my birthday celebration. Our wait person was personable and very attentive especially when we asked him to take our photo. The Charthouse is my favorite place to celebrate special occasions. When we celebrated my aunt’s 101st birthday, her name and age were printed on the menu! So special ❤️
