Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pacifica Seafood Restaurant in Palm Desert dazzles with "excellent food" and "great service" in a lovely setting. Guests rave about the perfectly cooked sea bass, scallops, and salmon, and enjoy the "quiet and cozy" atmosphere inside or the enchanting views outside. The rooftop terrace and "attentive" staff make it a must-visit.

    This is a favorite restaurant of ours. Most everything was good except my wife’s swordfish was very spicy hot which was not described n the menu.

    Fabulous night of great food, a nice ambience, and great service. The pace was wonderful. We had appetizers, and then they took our order for entries- I was able to enjoy our time . I had the sweet potato soup and swordfish- OMG love love love both of these dishes. Flavorful soup and the fish was so tender with what I would call a Mexican flare. I am so tired of over priced restaurants with mediocre taste- Finnaly a place I was pleased from the moment we walked in the door till the time we left. I especially loved the pace. Another great addition was the sourdough bread. My husband had clam chowder and sea bass, which he raved about it ! So good we both wanted bigger portions of everything afterwards. (Gerald ordered a 1/2 portion size). We normally try each others choices but we to keep every last morsel to ourselves. Best restaurant in the Valley by far !! We will be back !!!

    Brought our dear friends to have a wonderful seafood meal … and no one was disappointed! Wonderful drink and appetizer options to start our meals, delicious soup and salads, then fabulous seafood entrees. We were all full but the desserts were too tantalizing to pass up so we shared a couple. All of this with perfect service. A great experience!

    The food was delicious! We had the sea bass and short ribs. Both equally great dishes. The service was exceptional. Jaime and the rest of the wait staff were really nice and attentive and made sure we had a great experience. We celebrated a birthday and were pleasantly surprised with the complimentary dessert. It was a nice end to a great evening. We will definitely be back! Thank you 😊
