The first thing that strikes every guest who comes to Pacifica Del Mar is the stunning coastal view. Its gorgeous ocean sunset makes it a perfect romantic date choice. The al fresco dining is great for people-watching and enjoying the ocean breeze. Dining at Pacifica Del Mar is like getting a good, long massage at a luxury spa; you're pampered the whole time with first-rate gourmet food and outstanding service in an incredibly relaxing environment. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable on what their restaurant has to offer as far as specials, favorite house dishes, and suggestions on wine pairings.
Pacifica Del Mar serves creative costal cuisine with mouthwatering selections of fresh seafood, steak, and pasta. They start you with a warm basket of fresh still steamy bread, which is a nice touch. One of the favorite things is the Crispy Calamari, which comes with two delicious sauces, and is perfection. The Sugar-Spiced Salmon is perfectly cooked and falls apart with the touch of your fork. The sugar-spice crust on top, mixed in with the mustard sauce, is flawless. You absolutely must try the Japanese Clam Chowder. It is definitely not the thick, creamy concoction you’re used to. It’s like Minestrone with clams, mushrooms and water chestnuts, and has a deep and rich flavor that is top notch.
Dessert is a must at Pacifica Del Mar. A great choice is the dessert trio, which includes chocolate cake, creme brulee and a bon bon. It’s lets you sample more than one item and is enough for sharing. If you have a significant sweet tooth, you really should steer towards the mocha semifreddo with white chocolate-espresso mousse and toffee bits.
Let’s talk vodka. Pacifica Del Mar’s Ocean Bar boasts of more than 150 vodkas. They also have a staff that is quick to make recommendations on interesting ones to try. On Wednesday, any vodka is $6 all night. Happy hour is a crowd pleasing event from 4-6:30 p.m Friday, Saturday and Sunday but all night long Monday and Tuesday nights. Ocean Bar is a fun place to hang out, eat, drink and enjoy the crowd.
The next time you want to dine someplace really special, choose Pacifica Del Mar.
