    Mother’s day predetermined menu was disappointing. Onion soup was not flavorful and very salty. Salmon hush was very salty, the dish did not look good and tasted very average. We were not allowed to order anything outside of this fixed menu. Almost $300 for 4 people mediocre lunch. I still can not believe it. I thought so highly of Pacifica Del Mar before.

    Had a wonderful date night here! The drinks, the food and the view were all amazing. The blackberry 75 may be my new favorite cocktail of all time! Had the catch of the day which was soft shell crab with risotto… absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back!

    One of our favorite restaurants we frequent. Awesome experience with our server John, great service, very friendly. Atmosphere and ambiance couldn't be better. Even though it was super packed (guessing early Mother's Day celebrations), service was prompt. I recommend the house Salmon.

    Pacifica is one of our family's favorite lunch spots in Del Mar ~ ocean views, varied menu (both brunch & lunch options), friendly & attentive service, delicious food! And, usually not too loud for conversation. Definitely go!

    We had a wonderful meal and dining experience at Pacifica Del .Mar. The swordfish "catch of the day" was one of the freshest and the best seafood dishes I've ever experienced. The wait staff was attentive without being overly doting on our table. We recommend this restaurant.
