    A professional staff from the hostess to the waiters assistants to the waiters to the executive chef. The food presentation was excellent and the food preparation perfect. Water glasses were refilled and plates removed with out any disturbances. Most notable was the executive chef who went to each table once or twice asking if everything was being done satisfactorily. I recommend dining there - it is one of the best experiences you will find in Dallas.

    I have never had poor service at Cafe Pacific. Our server was inadequate . We waited 10 plus minutes for him to come to our table and 30 minutes for him to take our order. Another 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared after eating. And another 20 to be asked about dessert. We had to ask and re-ask for water, coffee, and tea. Again, more waiting. We were there from 1-3pm. I was hosting a table of six and was mortified our experience was so poor. I have been eating at your beautiful restaurant for 35 years and have only experienced first-class service.

    The day was perfect -- food, service, atmosphere. Mine was a party of six. Thank you for providing an atmosphere where our time together was not drown out by blaring music. We could share conversation from one end of the table to the other. None of us mind close together dining with other parties, but to have to overcome disruptive, overbearing soundtrack music is exhausting and denies all at the table the opportunity to share in each others company. This was truly value added to our day together at Cafe Pacific. Pairing this with the delicious food made this experience one I hope to repeat soon and often.

    Unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations. The server Ruben not only had his name tag upside down but would be a better fit at a casual restaurant. He clapt my husband on the shoulder - but on top didn't get our orders right. Our friends steak was replaced - but it came with loads of pepper. We ordered bottled water and Ruben brought another one soon because the one was empty. We know this" trick " to get more bottles of water ordered. After we told him to leave the water on the table - he only came to clear the table. He also brought a dessert "on the house" which everyone got - but never asked if we might like something different. The restaurant might be a "Highland Park" institution since decades - but we went there twice: first and last time.

    We go many times during the year. The food is spectacular. Many of their appetizers are great, but the last two times we have gotten the Crab Remoulade, pure decadence. We always get one of the fish on the menu or specials. One tonight was the halibut, again beyond excellence. We always have our favorite waiter, Walter, and ask for him. He knows you and understands what you want and takes unbelievable care of us. It was a Saturday and extremely busy, but you wouldn't notice as they know what their doing. Manager always comes around and checks on you, friendly and caring. I would highly recommend trying for a special occasion. It is not your chain restaurant, consistent and great people and food.
