About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
An institution in Dallas dining for over 40 years, Cafe Pacific embodies sophistication while remaining decidedly unpretentious. Our friendly "neighborhood seafood restaurant" has garnered praise both locally and nationally for its casual elegance. You’ll dine in the warm glow of dark mahogany, rich marble, etched glass and polished brass. The walls are adorned with art from the owner's collection.

Proper Dress Required (No T-Shirts, Shorts or Flip Flops.)

Cafe Pacific is nestled in Highland Park Village, Dallas' premiere shopping locale, where pampering is the order of the day. From the complimentary valet parking to the outstanding service from our knowledgeable veteran staff, Cafe Pacific offers you sophistication without a hint of snobbery.

    We had lunch there celebrating our 55th anniversary! AS usual, everything was beyond compare! We drive from McKinney to Highland Park - one of our go to places for celebrating, seafood, lunch around our doctors appointments at UTSW! One of the best places in DFW. We've been going there since we moved to DFW in the 1970's.

    Update: I am updating the service and overall ratings as the manager did call us and apologize for our experience. This alone will prompt us to return and give one of our favorite restaurants another chance. Wow…….been going here for years but that stops now. Just a bad evening overall. Why when you know it’s a special occasion for a couple do you seat them next to a table of 18 very loud diners? Couldn’t even carry on a conversation. Then, you take our waiter and assign him to this large group - which meant we never saw him again. We had to get up and go ask for coffee and a dessert menu-which at the price we’re paying for a meal here is ridiculous. Our cocktails were so bad and literally had no alcohol in them that we had to send them back. I have never ever done that? Granted they did not appear on our bill, but seriously? We did tip the waiter 15%, which he didn’t deserve, but it really wasn’t his fault that he was put the position of having so many people to take care of. My husband complained to the hostess on the way out the door but no apology was offered. For $230, I think going forward we’ll spend our dining dollars elsewhere. So sad, as this has been a tradition for us for over 15 years……but not anymore.

    Had an absolutely exquisite lunch at Café Pacific today. You can't go wrong with their Lunch Duo option - I went with the lemon trout and the soup of the day, a hearty minestrone. I usually skip the bread, but the sourdough was too delicate and tasty to resist. And if you are in the mood to splurge on dessert, the coconut cream pie is a must.
