Disclaimer... this review was during covid in January 2021. Although we were very patient, and grateful to be out for a nice meal, this review still needs to be accurate.
1. The view is amazing...
2. The staff was ok, short handed, and did not check on us.
3. The bramble berry cocktail was the worst I’ve ever had, and at $14 each is highway robbery.
4. My fiancé enjoyed the muscles, and crab cake, but the vegan spaghetti squash was terribly undercooked.
There is nothing worse than leaving a $150 bill and feeling you received a $50 experience. Very disappointed considering the other reviews, and expectations.
I hope your experience is better.
Wonderful food and service, as always! Our favorite restaurant.
We enjoyed our anniversary dinner out in Del
mar. I had written on the reservation that we were celebrating our 31st anniversary on 12/30, but there was no mention nor complimentary dessert offered. I little disappointing.
Love supporting our local restaurants thank you for a wonderful experience during such a hard time
Always a pleasurable dining experience
Wonderful place to eat with great food and excellent service. Always consistent.
With very few people in attendance you would think the service would be excellent...not so! 1-Waiter did not watch my fish and it came out raw ...just as I told him I did not want.
2- I asked him to bring us the desert menu...he forgot!
3- When you are paying $40 a plate each, It is ridiculous that they charge you $1 for a very small dinner roll and only if you ask...
View was beautiful from across the street with Christmas decorations.
I am very grateful that the restaurant was open! Thank you!
We were so happy that PDM sent us an email that they were open for dinner. We enjoyed our meal and experience in the era of COVID-19. Baja was a great server for us. I had the prime rib and Kate had the short rib, both were exceptional.
Blessings to you all!
Dave and Kate
Our dinner was particularly good this visit. Not just the food and service, but the fact Pacifica Del Mar continues to persevere through the trials and tribulations of this past year, and does it with grace, elegance and the excellence always associated with Pacifica Del Mar.
Perfect place for the last in-restaurant meal of the year, due to the governor’s ill-advised and ridiculous shut down order.

Thanksgiving dinner.
Thank you for joining us on Thanksgiving. We really appreciate your review!
What a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving. Outdoors in their beautiful tented and umbrella setting overlooking the ocean.
A perfect three-course lunch with impeccable service. No rush, no fuss, and no dirty dishes! Always a winner.

Just being very honest. I think this place is overpriced. With tip, we spent $190 for two persons (two meals and two drinks). I thought this was way overpriced for what we received. For that price, there should have been more food at least. The meals were small, my steak was not hot, and the carrots were undercooked.
I was also told before we made the reservation that anything can be made gluten free for us. When we arrived, there were only a few choices of gluten-free foods, so this was not true.
We were seated outside which was OK, but most of the good tables were in full sun with no shade, which would have been very uncomfortable to sit in.
Sure wish I could say the experience were better, but it was average.
However, the food was good. Just not anything very special like we expected for this price on a holiday.
Pacifica Del Mar has everything you’re looking for when dining out. Their cuisine is cooked to perfection, flavorful and delicious! Our group enjoyed the view looking out at the ocean; the server was courteous and her top priority was that the experience met our expectations. We’ll definitely be returning!

Best place to eat, enjoy the ocean view and great ambiance.
Thank you for joining us and writing in your review. We really appreciate it and we hope to see you again soon.
What a great restaurant! This was my first visit and I was on a first date. We were extremely impressed with the service and the quality of the food. I would have to say it is the best Chilean Sea Bass I have ever had. The ambiance was perfect for our first date. Both peaceful and romantic with a great ocean view. We left there stating that Pacifica Del Mar will be our official restaurant and look forward to returning together for years to come.
Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your date here with us - thank you for choosing Pacifica for your special occasion. Great choice on the Sea bass - it's a personal favorite here! We appreciate your comments and hope to see you again soon.
We really enjoyed our time here. It's a nice restaurant with a very nice view.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it and hope to see you again soon.
We were a party of 4, unfortunately we didn’t check the menu before going because it was a very limited version of their original, it turned out an item 2 of us ordered they were out of, also they no longer had the fresh baked sourdough bread which has been a staple for decades. Then one of our dinners came out 15 minutes after the other three and still wasn’t cooked through and had to be sent back, I understand it’s very hard for restaurants in these times but we were very disappointed.
Top spot in Del Mar - best food, best ambiance, great outdoor dining space.
Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us and we hope to see you again soon.
Restaurant has a terrific patio overlooking the western sunset. I must go for a local San Diegians.
Thank you for your review, John! We really appreciate it and are so glad you enjoyed your dining experience with us on our heated patio! We hope to see you again soon.
Pacifica offers an outstanding venue for dining, superb menu options and accommodating server's who provide friendly and professional service. The views are sensational. They have respected the COVID restrictions and adhere to them. Have been dining here with family and friends since they first opened.
Savor all Pacifica has to offer.
