    Absolutely beautiful view and the food was to die for! We had the halibut that was so buttery and the sticky rice and curry sauce just topped it off! The salad was amazing, tomatoes and cheese so fresh! Highly recommend.

    Salmon was great. Others in my party enjoyed their shrimp pasta and another said his steak was prepared perfectly.

    Having dined here since 1994, I can always be assured that the service and food has been, and will be , consistently outstanding. The ocean views are fantastic, as well. I have never visited San Diego in the past 30 years without eating at Pacifica Del Mar,at least once during my stay.

    Our always favorite restaurant! The food is delicious and the location is spectacular! The special promotion made this celebratory lunch quite reasonable. We shared the soup as our appetizer…delicious! We did not order the bread and butter, but it’s delicious. We had an awesome dessert, so skipped the bread. The salmon was fabulous! It always is! It’s my favorite! My partner had the Thai Chicken Salad. Also fresh and delicious. Our dessert was absolutely amazing! The Triple Chocolate Fredo…it was rich, huge, and fabulous! Grace, our server was friendly and efficient. Great service! Fabulous meal!! Beautiful ocean view!!! Many, many thanks!! 👍👍

    Requested a last minute reservation on a Saturday for a birthday dinner since it's my go-to/favorite sea food restaurant, hoping for the view seats. The team not only sat us at a great table with a lovely ocean view, they wished me a happy birthday and provided great service, as always. We had the delicious sourdough, and the tuna and scallops entrees along with a bottle of wine from the extensive wine list (many price points available). We were surprised with a decadent dessert, complete with candle. And when my husband forgot his credit card, they called immediately so we were able to pick it up before he'd even noticed! Thanks Pacific Del Mar for over 25 years of delicious dining and great service!

    With its stunning views, impeccable service and incredible food, Pacifica hits it out of the park every time! As a consistent staple in this center for years, it’s clear why they continue to successfully thrive.

    I have been here for lunch a few times. The ocean view is beautiful. The food has always been good every time I eat here. Each staff member I interacted with, from the host all the way to bus people, were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
