Great food for a casual dinner. The food comes quickly after it's ordered, so if you want a longer dinner order drinks and/or apps first. The employees seem to be well-trained to be super friendly to the customers. I made a reservation online and they didn't have the time I wanted but accommodated me when I arrived at the desired time.

The black cod was truly excellent and the salmon lovers sushi roll was tasty. But they ran out spicy salmon appetizer by 6pm which is poor planning, and our table top was quite sticky which I found kind of gross. And the shiitake mushrooms had an odd taste like they had been frozen. Pacific Catch does some things really great and others that make them a mall restaurant.

The food was OK, but the service is nonexistent. I couldn't get a server for so long, I went to grab my own ketchup, went to the front desk to summon a server to ask about the wrong order, and had to walk up to the front desk to pay. The portions are a lot smaller than in San Antonio as well.

Service was poor - we waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came to our table. The server was very flat, never smiled. Entrees did not come out at the same time, one missing sauce. Won’t be back any time soon!

I was served cold food w/the wrong protein. When the correct protein showed up (nice & hot!), our server forgot to provide me utensils. I finally got them when I was able to flag down another server. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
