    We had a lovely and delicious dinner last night. We have the smaller portion of the Sea Bass and it's always excellent. We also shared the poached prawn cocktail. The prawns were perfectly poached. Santiago was friendly and attentive. We arrived for our reservation to be told that two couples were ahead of us for inside seating. We were shown a table outside in the 100 degree heat. We chose it because the fans and mist seemed to be cooling. Were okay for the frist half hour until we were in full sun. If we had it to do again we would have waited.

    Worst experience dining at Pacifica historically. We were seated at a table for two and it felt like we were in the middle of a freeway. Between diners and servers walking by on both sides of our table. It was a very disruptive dinner. We will not be coming back. At one time very much loved this restaurant. The food was good and the service was good, but be ready for a freeway experience depending upon your table seating .
