My family and I had reservations at Café Pacific at the Trump Los Angeles golf course. We were celebrating my dad’s birthday and it was so amazing! The ambience was beautiful with a nice warm roaring fire, and the waiter and waitresses were so attentive and discreet, and we all mentioned that how wonderful it was. The dinner was impeccable and delicious.! Jennifer our waitress even brought out a dessert to celebrate my dad‘s birthday! We all had a great experience there and highly recommend this restaurant for a family celebration!!

Great server and atmosphere. We enjoyed lunch more than we had enjoyed dinner previously, as we could hear one another. Dinner had been too way noisy. Great restaurant!

Had a great Thanksgiving dinner here. Turkey wasn’t dry and the sides were actually really delicious. Was quite busy as expected but staff was nice and attentive, esp with my party of 8. Decent value at $30/person for 3 course meal.
