Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. From the day we opened we've been mindful about where our ingredients come from and how to bring to life the vibrant flavors and feeling of the Pacific. It's our commitment to our guests to keep things interesting, innovative, wholesome and thoughtfully sourced. That's why we've formalized our relationship with the Monterey Bay Seafood Aquarium's Seafood Watch, James Beard Foundation's Smart Catch and the Surfrider Foundation by becoming a partner and bringing on a director of sustainability to help steward these efforts. We will be following the most stringent protocols on cleaning, sanitization, social distancing, and protections for employee health including temperature taking and the use of protective masks and gloves.

    Consistently great food and service! We always try to sit outside in their covered patio, they do have heaters for those chilly days. Whenever we’re in the area we make a point have lunch or dinner. They also are very serious about allergies, for us gluten. This was our 28th visit, so they must be doing something right.

    The food was great with a very nice presentation. Very nice ambience as well. We ordered and the food came very quickly. The only thing would say is that the meals were rather pricey.

    Thought it was a bit of an off night. Generally a good consistent meal but wasn’t a great visit tonight.

    Lovely 3-generation family lunch on the patio. Everything was just right for everyone. The energy from the staff to the decor to the food was positive and enjoyable. We will be back. Thank you!

    We often get take out from here but decided to go out. The atmosphere and food, including the presentation of the food are consistently good. The restaurant was understaffed on what might have been an unusually busy Tuesday night. Nonetheless a solidly enjoyable experience.

    We were there for a late lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't very crowded and the noise level was acceptable. We ordered Calamari to share along with an order for a California Roll (8 pieces) and a Salmon Burger. Each was well prepared, and the Calamari was especially good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

    This was for another birthday lunch. We love this restaurant and have introduced many friends to it. This friend chose it for her birthday lunch even though we go there all the time. We all had our favorite entrees and loved the complimentary birthday brownie sundae. The food is very predictable and good.

    I absolutely love this place. I have always ordered to go, and I have finally decided to sit down and eat there and it was even better. I cannot wait to go back.

    My wife had the lobster role and said it was very good. I had soup with Udon noodles and clams. The clams were fresh but I thought the broth was weak and I needed some soy sauce, which I didn’t get. Said birthday special occasion on the reservation and we got no acknowledgement.
